7.2.1 Basic adjustment
When the cutting-means assembly is in the basic
setting, the best mulching effect and good disper-
sion of the cut grass are achieved.
The basic setting is recommended for grass of a
normal length. See 5.4.
7.2.2 Greater tilt
If the cutting-means assembly is tilted forward, the
mulching effect is reduced, improving the disper-
sion of cut grass.
It is advisable to tilt the cutting-means assembly
forward when tackling thick grass.
