The unrestricted function of the level indicator is only as-
sured with optimum air flow. External influences such as
wet, dense or high grass, low cutting levels, dirt or similar
can affect the air flow and the function of the level indica-
tor.
• Flap open: Grass collection basket is being filled
• Flap closed: Grass collection basket is full
9.1.3
Emptying the grass collection basket
(5) (Fig. 9, 13, 14)
WARNING
Before removing the grass collection basket, switch
off the engine and wait for the blade to stop.
ATTENTION
Danger of injury!
Remove the grass collection basket only when the en-
gine is switched off and the blade is stationary.
The grass collection basket must be emptied as soon
as grass cuttings are left lying behind on the ground
during mowing.
1. To remove the grass collection basket (5), lift the dis-
charge flap (8).
2. Take out the grass collection basket (5) by the carry-
ing handle (5a). In accordance with the safety regula-
tions, the discharge flap (8) closes when the grass
collection basket (5) is unhooked and closes the ejec-
tion opening.
If grass cuttings remain in the opening, it is advisable to
pull the lawnmower back about 1 m to make it easier to
start the motor.
ATTENTION
Do not remove cuttings in the mower housing and on
the working tool by hand or with your feet, but with suit-
able aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.
To ensure good collection, the grass collection basket (5)
must be cleaned after use.
9.2
Mowing with the mulching insert
When mulching, the cuttings are shredded in the closed
lawnmower housing and then dispersed on the lawn.
Grass collection and disposal are not required. The fine
green waste falls back into the grass root as a natural fer-
tiliser, adds moisture to the lawn and supplies it with im-
portant nutrients.
NOTE
Mulching is only possible on relatively short lawns.
9.2.1
Inserting the mulching insert (13)
(Fig. 13, 15, 16)
1. Lift the discharge flap (8).
2. Remove the grass collection basket (5) (if used) by
the carrying handle (5a).
3. Lift the discharge flap (8) and insert the mulching in-
sert (13).
4. Adjust the cutting height (see Setting the cutting
height (Fig. 10)).
Note:
Cut the grass back by 2 cm if the grass is 4-6 cm high.
9.2.2
When using the mulching insert (13), the grass clippings
are not collected in a grass collection bag, but shredded
and distributed over the lawn. The nutrients contained in
the grass clippings are thus broken down by soil organ-
isms forming a nutrient cycle. Mulched lawns therefore
need to be fertilised much less frequently.
As a general rule, the lawn must be mowed relatively of-
ten 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 set the mower so that only approx. 40% of the
total height of the lawn is mulched. If the mulch remains
visible on the lawn (e.g. during the first cut of the year or
during heavy growth), the grass bag (5) should be used.
