8.3 ADVICE FOR CORRECT CUTTING

Never cut more than one third of the total grass height in a single passage! Regulate the
forward speed
according to the lawn conditions and the amount of grass removed.
Lawn care recomendations
Each type of grass has different characteristics and may
thus require different ways of caring for the lawn; always
read the instructions on seed boxes for mowing height
for the growing conditions in the work area.
Keep in mind that most grass is made up of a stem and
one or more leaves. If leaves are fully cut, the lawn is
damaged and growth is more difficult.
The following indications generally apply:
– cutting too low tears and uproots the grass, giving it a "spotted" appearance;
– in the summer, cutting must be higher to prevent the ground from drying;
– d o not cut wet grass; this could reduce blade efficiency due to sticky grass and tear the lawn.
– f or particularly high grass, initially mow at the maximum height allowed by the machine then
mow again after two or three days.
The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate cutting in both directions at the
same height.
When the grass-catcher is too full, grass collection is no longer efficient and the sound of the
lawnmower changes. To remove and empty the grass-catcher,
– release the switch lever and wait for the blade to stop;
– lift the rear discharge guard (2), grasp the handle and remove the grass-catcher keeping it
in an erect position.
