Mulching
Mulching is when the grass is cut into small pieces
(approx. 1 cm) during mowing and left lying there.
This means the lawn retains many nutrients.
Ask your dealer for appropriate accessories for
Î
mulching.
Lawn care tips
A lawn comprises various grass types. If you mow
more frequently, the growth of strongly-rooting
grasses is favoured resulting in firm turf.
If you mow only rarely, the growth of tall grasses and
other weeds (e.g. clover, daisies) is encouraged.
To ensure you lawn grows healthily and uniformly,
without any lines, the cutting stripes must always
overlap by a couple of inches/several centimetres.
- The normal height of the grass is 40–50 mm.
Cut approximately one third of the overall height
as soon as the lawn has reached a height of
60–70 mm.
- Do not cut the lawn shorter than 45 mm as other-
wise the turf can be damaged during dry periods.
- Cut long grass in stages until normal height is
reached.
Switching on the headlights (model-
dependent) R
To switch on the headlights, set the switch to
Î
. "ON".
3 The headlights light up while the motor is running.
Note
The headlamps switch on and off automati-
cally on models without a light switch.
Note
Depending on the model, the headlights stay
lit up for approx. 10 seconds after the motor
has shut down and then switch themselves
off automatically.
Switching the differential lock on and off
(model-dependent) A
An activated differential lock has a strong
influence on the steering performance of
the device.
ÂRisk of injury and damage to the device
¾ Only use the differential lock when
absolutely necessary; e.g. on difficult
terrain.
¾ Only activate the differential lock when
the device is at a standstill.
¾ Do not use the differential lock on paved
pathways or downhill.
