Advantages
Emptying the grass catcher box and
disposal of the clippings are dispensed
with. Weed growth is slowed down and
significant amounts of fertilizer are saved.

10.2 When is mulching permissible?

VIKING recommends mulching only when
the lawn is dry and the grass is not too
high.
If the grass is too high, the lawn should be
mowed in two stages. (
10.3)
Caution
If the cutting height is too low or the
grass is wet, the housing may
become clogged, blocking the
blade!

10.3 How should mulching be

performed?

Requirements for good mulching results:
– Set the optimal cutting height: A third of
the grass height should be cut.
– Use well sharpened blades.
– Vary the mowing direction and ensure
that the mowing strips overlap.
Working method in high grass
In high grass, the lawn should be cut in two
stages.
First stage:
The lawn is mowed at the maximum
cutting height.
Second stage:
12 to 24 hours after the first stage, mulch
the lawn to the desired grass height at right
angles to the first mowing direction.

Summer and autumn:
mulch at least once per week.

11.1 Starting the engine

Do not start the engine in tall grass
or at the lowest cutting height. This
makes starting difficult.

to the point of compression resistance.
Then pull forcefully and quickly to arm's
length.
● Slowly return the recoil starter rope (2)
so that it is rolled up again.
Repeat the procedure until the engine
starts.
Thanks to the fixed throttle setting, the
engine always operates at the optimum
working speed after starting.

The engine and blade come to a
standstill within 3 seconds.
