Tips on lawn care

Here are some tips to help you keep your lawn look-
ing healthy and ensure uniform growth.
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 only rarely cut the grass, you will encourage
the development of high-growing types of grass and
other weeds, such as clover and 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)
With mulching, the grass is cut into small pieces
(approx. 1 cm) during mowing and is left on the
ground. Lots of nutrients in the cut grass are
retained.
For the best possible result the grass must always
be kept short, see also section "Mowing".
Follow the instructions for mulching below:
- Do not mow wet grass.
- Never cut more than 2 cm of the total grass length.
- Mow slowly.
- Use maximum engine speed.
- Clean the cutter deck regularly.

Transporting

Drive the mower only short distances otherwise
transport it by vehicle. Transport the device on a
transport vehicle over long distances.

oughfares in accordance with national road legisla-
tion (StVO).
