Operation
Note
Each index setting (maximum 15 setting
options - dependent on the model) shifts the
cutter deck by about 6.4 mm.
Note
The highest cutting height (index 4.5) should
be used for transport (driving without mow-
ing).
Step fully down on the pedal for the cutter deck
Î
height adjustment [A] to move the cutter deck to
the fully raised position.
Rotate the height adjustment star knob [N] to the
Î
desired cutting height (index 1 to 4.5).
Slowly remove your foot from the cutter deck
Î
lifting pedal.
3 The cutter deck drops slowly to the selected
height and is locked down in this position.
Mowing
Items flung out (cut grass, stones, etc.)
ÂRisk of injury
¾ Only empty the grass catcher when the
cutters are switched off.
¾ Only operate the device with the
discharge flap or grass catcher attached.
Attention!
¾ If a foreign object (like a stone) comes into
contact with the cutting mechanism, or if the
device starts to vibrate unusually, switch the
engine off immediately.
¾ Inspect the device for damage before continuing
operation. In the event of damage, discontinue
use of the device and have it repaired by
a service centre prior to putting back into
operation.
¾ Do not activate the cutter deck in high grass.
Note
The device permits reversing with the cut-
ters switched on (reverse mowing mode).
Exercise particular caution when reversing
with the cutters switched on. Only reverse
with the cutter deck switched on if absolutely
necessary.
For optimum lawn mowing, cut the first two rounds
so the cut grass is thrown out sideways into the
middle.
Do not allow the grass to grow too long, and never
cut it too short.
Drive in straight lines an do not mow at high speed,
particularly when a mulching kit or grass catcher is
installed.
CAUTION!
Sit down on the driver's seat.
Î
Bring the cutter deck to the top height position.
Î
Start the engine as indicated.
Î
Set the throttle to
Î
Switch the cutter deck on and then lower it.
Î
Release the parking brake by pulling both control
Î
levers into the neutral position.
To drive away, press both control levers forwards
Î
slowly and evenly. The further they are pressed
forwards, the faster the device moves.
Information on mowing
Do not mow wet grass. Drive slowly at
maximum engine speed. When adjusting the
cutting height and travel speed, ensure that
the device is not overloaded. Depending on
the length, type, and dampness of the grass,
adjust the cutting height and driving speed in
order to be able to collect grass with a grass
catcher without any trouble.
Information on mowing
In the event of blockages, reduce speed and
raise the cutting height.
Tips on lawn care
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various different types of
grass. If you mow more frequently, the grown of
strongly-rooting grasses is favoured resulting in firm
turf. If you seldom cut the grass, you will enhance
the development of high-growing types of grass and
other weeds (e.g. clover, daisies ...).
The normal height of a lawn is approx. 4–5 cm. Only
1/3 of the total height should be mown; therefore
cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal height. Preferably
do not cut the lawn shorter than 4 cm, otherwise the
turf will be damaged in a dry period. If the grass has
grown particularly high (e.g. during a holiday period),
cut it back to its normal height in stages.
Mulching using the accessories (optional)
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.
Note
This device is designed to mow lawns. Do
not mow scrub, weeds, or overlong grass.
Pay attention to the following notes:
• Do not mow any wet grass, and never more
than max. 2 cm.
• Mow the entire length of grass.
• Drive slowly and at maximum engine speed.
• Clean the cutter deck regularly.
