cut the grass well.
Disengage the blade and put the cutting deck in the highest
position whenever you need to get past an obstacle.
5.3.2 Cutting height adjustment
The height is adjusted by moving the lever with 7 height posi-
tions.
5.3.3 Lawn maitenance
1. To keep a lawn green, soft and attractive, it should be cut
regularly without damaging the grass. A lawn can be com-
posed of different types of grass. If the lawn is cut fre-
quently, grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a
solid grassy bed.
If the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and
weeds start growing (plus daisies and clovers, etc.).
2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
3. The blades must be in good condition and well sharpened
so that the grass is cut straight without a ragged edge
that leads to yellowing at the ends.
4. The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp
cut of the grass and to get the necessary thrust to push
the cuttings through the collector channel.
5. The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate
of growth of the grass. The grass should not be left to
grow too much between one cut and the next.
6. During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little
higher to prevent the ground from drying out.
7. The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is
approx. 4-5 cm.
With one cut, you do not
need to remove more
than a third of the total
height.
If the grass is very tall, it
should be cut twice in a
twenty-four hour period -
the first time with the
blades at maximum
height, possibly reducing
the cutting width, and
the second cut at the desired height.
8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate
cutting in both directions.
9. If the collector system tends to get blocked with grass,
you should reduce the forward speed as it may be too
high for the condition of the grass. If the problem persists,
the probable causes are either badly sharpened blades or
deformed wings.
10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs as
these could distort the horizontal position of the cutting
deck and damage its edge as well as the blades.
5.3.4 Slopes
Complying with the slope li-
mits already mentioned,
lawns on a slope have to
