Mulching
With mulching, the grass is cut into small pieces
(approx. 1 cm) during mowing and is left on the
ground. A lot of the nutrients in the cut grass are
retained for the benefit of the lawn.
Ask your specialist dealer for appropriate mulching
Î
accessories.

Î

er. The switch X [1] is used to open and

operating instructions.
Tips on lawn care
A lawn comprises various grass types. If you mow
more frequently, the grown 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.

To turn the headlights on, set the switch to "ON".
Î
3 The headlights light up while the engine is run-
ning.
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 engine
has shut down and then switch themselves
off automatically.
