Working instructions
General working instructions
• If possible, mow dry grass to go gentle
on the sod.
• Adjust the cutting height so that the de-
vice is not overloaded.
• Move the device at walking speed and
in lines as straight as possible. For a
flawless mowing result, the lines should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Do not move backwards.
• Always move across the slope when
working on hills.
• If the blades come into contact with a
foreign object, turn the engine off im-
mediately. Wait until the blade comes
to a stop and check the device for
damage. Only continue working if the
device is undamaged.
• Switch off the device during longer
breaks or when transporting it and wait
until the blade has stopped moving.
• Clean the device after each use, as
described in the section "Cleaning/
storage".
Difference between moving
and mulching lawns
When using the mulch kit (25), the grass
clippings are not captured in a collection
box but are instead shredded and spread
across the lawn. The nutrients contained
in the clippings are thus left to be broken
down by soil organisms and form a nutri-
ent cycle. Mulched lawns therefore need to
be fertilised much less frequently.
As a basic rule, the lawn has to be mowed
relatively often so that only small amounts
of mulch remain on the lawn.
It is therefore best to mulch the lawn at
least once a week and to adjust the mower
so that only about 40% of the total height
of the lawn is left as mulch. If the mulch
remains visible on the lawn (for example
when cutting the lawn for the first time
of the year or during strong growth), the
grass collection box (5) should be used.
Setting the cutting
height
The device has 3 positions for setting the
cutting height:
65 mm - large cutting height
45 mm - medium cutting height
25 mm - low cutting height
1. Remove the hub cap (13a). If neces-
sary, use the screwdriver (flat-head)
(26).
2. Loosen the wheel bolt (13b) with the Al-
len key (23).
3. Remove the wheel (13). Make sure not
to lose the safety washer (13c).
4. Fix the wheel (13) in the desired cutting
height position (29) in the reverse or-
der. There are three possible positions.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 with the other
wheels.
The wheel bolts (13b) on the left
("L") of the mower are tightened an-
ticlockwise
loosen by themselves during opera-
tion.
The correct cutting height is between
30 and 45 mm for an ornamental lawn
and about 40 - 65 mm for a utility lawn.
A high cutting height should be
selected for the first mowing of the
season.
