forward or backward to the desired height.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE LAWNMOWER
This mower has 2 different cut settings (cutting with
debris collection, with lateral discharge and mulching
cut. Before you begin working, you must configure the
mower to set it one of the three possible ways.
Cutting with debris collection:
In this setting, the mower will cut the grass and send
it to the collector bag. The grass will be cut and
the rest of grass cut within the bag. For the debris
collection setting, place the bag in the back of the
machine and make sure that the mulching plug is not
installed.
Mulching cut:
In this configuration, the cut grass will remain on the
lawn but it is shredded into small particles that are
deposited on the lawn, generating an organic fertilizer
that provides nutrients and favors the maintenance of
humidity. For this configuration, the bag must not be
installed, the mulching plug must be installed and the
rear outlet cover must be closed.
