5.2. Mowing with the grass
catcher mounted
Figure 5 and 6
As soon as grass cuttings remain
lying on the lawn whilst mowing,
then the grass catcher
emptied.
Caution ! The motor should
A
be stopped and the cutters
permitted to come to a standstill
before the grass catcher
moved.
To remove the grass catcher, the
security flap (Fig. 5, Pos. 1)
on the machine should be raised
with one hand. The
be removed with the other hand
by means of the carrier handle
(Fig. 5, Pos. 2).
When the security flap is released,
it falls back automatically to the
closed position and blocks the
grass cuttings ejection aperture.
Should grass cuttings residue be-
come trapped in the grass cuttings
ejection aperture, then it is recom-
mended for an easier start-up of
the motor to pull back the machine
by about 1 metre, so that the grass
cuttings can fall to the ground.
Caution ! Grass cuttings
A
residue in the mower
housing should not be removed
by hand or with the feet but with
suitable accessories, such as a
brush or hand broom.
Emptying the grass
The grass catcher is equipped
with a flap. Hold the removed
grass catcher by the handle with
one hand and, with the other
hand, open the closure lever

(Fig. 6, Pos. 1) at the rear of the
box and shake out the cut grass.
Note :
Clean the grass
to ensure proper filling.

its position with the motor stopped
and the cutters at a standstill.
The security flap on the machine
should be raised with one hand.
The grass
is re-
with the other hand by means
of the carrier handle and hung
into the locking device.
Note :
The grass
catcher should
seated when the security flap lies
snugly on the grass catcher.
Mowing without the grass
and the mulch box
The security flap is fitted in such
a manner that it is also possible
to mow without the grass
and the mulch box mounted.
The grass cuttings will then be laid
down below the security flap on
the lawn.
5.3. Mowing and mulching
It is recommended to mulch the
lawn in summer to maintain a
well-cared lawn and as protection
against drying out.
During mulching operations, the
lawn is mown and the cuttings
are then whirled around in the
lawn mower so that they fall back
equally spread over the lawn.

The cuttings are thus returned to
the lawn as a form of own natural
fertiliser. No cuttings are then left
to dispose of.

5.3.1. Installing the mulch box
Figure 7
Your Electric MulchCut can be
converted in a flash to a perfect
mulch mower with the mulch box
supplied in the grass catcher.
The grass catcher should be re-
moved and the ejector channel
closed by taking hold of the grip
on the mulch box (arrow pointing
upwards) and then pushed right
in until fully engaged at the stop
(Fig. 7). The plastic edging on the
right hand side is then locked into
the grass catcher carrier.
The lock can be released to re-
move the mulch box by pressing
down with the hand on the plastic
edging. The mulch box can then
be removed by means of the grip.
Best mulch results can be obtained
by a regular cutting of the lawn,
once or twice each week depend-
ing on the growth phase of the lawn.
Best mulch results can also be ob-
tained when the grass is not higher
than 100 mm and then cut back
not lower than 1/3rd of its overall
height.
In order that the lawn mulch can
rot, mowing and mulching opera-
tions should be carried as far as
possible on a dry lawn. An ideal
recycling process is thereby ob-
tained.
The lawn mower housing should
be cleaned after every mowing
operation.
It is not recommended to mulch
when the lawn is strongly affected
with moss growth and/or when
the grass is matted, respectively.
The grass mulch can then not be
returned to the grass roots as it
remains lying on the matted layer.
A removal of moss growth and
matted grass is necessary by
aerating the lawn. For this, we
recommend the Brill Lawn Aerator
450 RL, Art. No. 78965.
