During mulching, the cut grass is chopped up
several times through a special air flow guidance
system in the mower blade area and then blown
0478-111-9656-A
back into the turf. The clippings remain on the
lawn surface where they partially decompose
and serve as a natural fertiliser. To ensure a per‐
fect, thick lawn, mulch regularly, removing one
third of the grass height.
Requirements for good mulching results:
– Frequency: at least twice a week in the spring
(main period of growth) and once a week in
the summer and autumn.
– Mow the lawn when dry if possible.
– Use well-sharpened cutting blades.
– Select a low rate of feed.
– Vary the mowing direction and ensure that the
mowing strips overlap.
– Always mow very tall grass in stages.
► If working with self-propulsion engaged: drive
the lawn mower forwards in a controlled man‐
ner.
► If working with self-propulsion disengaged:
push the lawn mower forwards slowly and in a
controlled manner.
