Note:
Adjust the cutting height so that the bottom blade has no
ground contact if there are uneven areas on the lawn sur-
face.
Mowing
To maintain a well-groomed lawn, the grass must be cut at least
once a week. The grass must be dry, for the most part, when it is
mowed. The mowing path should be as straight as possible using
a normal walking speed. The mowing paths must always overlap
by several centimetres to prevent strips of grass being left uncut.
