• To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawnmower in the
straightest possible paths. These strips should always
overlap by a few centimetres so that no patches re-
main.
• Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
be sure to remove grass debris. Deposits make the
starting process more difficult, impair cutting quality
and grass discharge.
• On slopes, the cutting path should be made perpen-
dicular to the slope. It is possible to prevent the
lawnmower from slipping by lifting it upwards at an
angle.
12.1 Mowing with the grass collection
basket
ATTENTION
Do not operate the product without the grass collec-
tion basket fully attached or without a mulching insert.
ATTENTION
Only remove or attach the grass collection basket
when the engine is switched off and the blade is sta-
tionary.
12.1.1 Inserting the grass collection
basket (24) (Fig. 19)
1. Lift the rear discharge flap (23).
2. Hold the grass collection basket (24) by the carrying
handle.
3. Hang the grass collection basket (24) in the grass
collection basket suspension provided at the rear of
the product.
4. Put down the rear discharge flap (23), it holds the
grass collection basket (24) in position.
12.1.2 Level indicator (24a) on the grass
collection basket (24) (Fig. 19)
The air flow generated by the blade (30) lifts the level in-
dicator (24a). When the grass collection basket (24) is
full, the air flow stops. If the air flow is too low, the level
indicator (24a) closes. This is a note to empty the grass
collection basket (24).
The unrestricted function of the level indicator (24a) is
only assured with optimum air flow. External influences
such as wet, dense or high grass, low cutting levels, dirt
or similar can affect the air flow and the function of the
level indicator (24a).
• Flap open: Grass collection basket (24) is being
filled
• Flap closed: Grass collection basket (24) is full
12.1.3 Emptying the grass collection
basket (24) (Fig. 19)
WARNING
Before removing the grass collection basket,
switch off the engine and wait for the blade to
stop.
ATTENTION
Danger of injury!
Remove the grass collection basket only when the en-
gine is switched off and the blade is stationary.
The grass collection basket must be emptied as soon
as grass cuttings are left lying behind on the ground
during mowing.
1. To remove the grass collection basket (24), lift the
rear discharge flap (23).
2. Take out the grass collection basket (24) by the car-
rying handle. In accordance with the safety regula-
tions, the discharge flap (23) closes when the grass
collection basket (24) is unhooked and closes the
rear ejection opening.
If grass cuttings remain in the opening, it is advisable to
pull the lawnmower back about 1m to make it easier to
start the engine.
ATTENTION
Do not remove cuttings in the mower housing and on
the working tool by hand or with your feet, but with
suitable aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.
To ensure good collection, the grass collection basket
(24) and in particular the air filter (14a) must be cleaned
from the inside after use.
12.2 Mowing with side discharge
The side discharge (20a) enables you to even manage
high and wild grass that is only mown rarely.
12.2.1 Inserting the side discharge (20a)
(Fig. 20)

sert the mulching insert (27) (see 12.3).
2. Open the side discharge flap (20) and hold it tight.
3. Insert the side discharge (20a).
4. Close the side discharge flap (20) slowly. The side
discharge flap (20) secures the side discharge (20a)
to prevent it falling out.
