Working with the Lawnmower
Regular mowing encourages increased
foliation of the grass and kills off weeds at
the same time. Therefore, not only does
each mowing increase the density of the
lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient
lawn.
When mulch mowing the grass is cut in
one cycle, fi nely chopped and distributed
on the lawn. The cut grass acts as a natu-
ral fertilizer.
Mowing a lawn with a lateral grass ejec-
tion point is suitable for larger surfaces.
The clippings are ejected from the side
and can subsequently be collected manu-
ally in one cycle.

For gap-free mowing, the tracks should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
•
Adjust the cut height so the equipment
is not overloaded. Otherwise, the mo-
tor may be damaged.
•
On slopes, always work across the
slope. Take particular care when going
backwards and pulling the equipment.
•
Clean the equipment after each use,
as described in the chapter on "Clean-
ing, Maintenance and Storage".
Switch off the equipment after work
and in order to transport it, discon-
