Cutting height adjustment (g. J)
Lawn should be dry when mowing to protect turf. Select highest
cutting position before the blade is engaged. Engage blade drive
then select desired cutting height. Generally, height should be
set between 5,5 and 7,0 cm. If grass is damp a higher cutting
level should be chosen. Take care that the height adjustment
lever is always properly engaged.
Mulching
The grass must not be too high for mulching, otherwise the cut
grass will not be distributed equally. Only mow when the grass
is dry. Make sure that the casing is clean when you mulch. Mow
often: twice per week. Never cut off more than 2,5 cm (1 in.) of
the grass blades. Do not forget to use fertiliser regularly.
Mowing tip (g. K-P)
• Mulch mower (fig. K)
• Mower with ejection to the side (fig. L)
• Mower with a collector (fig. M)
• Mowing on rectangular lawns: Overlap wheels by 5 cm (2–3
ins) to give best results.
• Mowing on slopes: Mow up and down the slope, never across
it (fig. N).
• Mowing around trees, ponds and obstacles: Mowing in small
circles (fig. O), Mowing in large circles (fig. P).
• Corners which cannot be reached can easily be cut using
