Mulching with the mulching kit (option)
In the case of mulching, the cut grass is not collected,
but left on the lawn. The mulch protects the ground
against drying out and provides it with nutrients.
The best results are obtained by cutting the grass regu-
larly to a height of approx. 2 cm. Only young grass with
soft leaf tissue rots quickly.
■ Gras height before mulching: max. 8 cm
■ Gras height after mulching:
Adapt walking pace to the mulching; do not walk
too fast.
