and, within 5 seconds, press the pedal for re-
verse driving (03/1).
WARNING! There is an accident risk
when reverse mowing! Pay attention to the area
behind you when mowing in reverse! Only mow
in reverse when it is necessary to do so!

Switching off the mower mechanism
WARNING! Danger due to spinning
blades! When the cutting blades are still spin-
ning, they can cause laceration injuries to hands
and feet! As a result, keep your hands and feet
away from the cutters!
1. Disengage the mower mechanism using the
toggle switch (02/5, position "0").
The mower mechanism can be switched off when
the tractor is at a standstill and when it is being
driven.
WARNING! Risk of injury due to objects
being thrown out! When crossing areas of grav-
el and crushed stone, objects can be drawn into
the running mower mechanism and then thrown
out.

Always switch off the mower mechanism if
you are driving over surfaces other than
lawns.

Emptying the grass catcher (16, 17)
NOTE An audible signal sounds when the
grass catcher is full. The catcher should be emp-
tied now if not before.
Depending on the configuration variant, your
lawn tractor has electrically operated grass catch-
er emptying or a manually operated grass catch-
er with operating lever.

catcher* (16)
*: Option

6.6.6
Mulching
For optimum mulching results, the grass should
be mowed on a regular basis (approx. 1 or 2
times per week). When doing so, cut 1/3 of the
grass height (e.g. if grass height is 6 cm, mow
2 cm). This will ensure that the mown grass will
be properly intermixed in the remaining grass.
6.6.7
Mowing interval
Please take into account that grass grows differ-
ently at different times. We recommend using a
shorter interval between mowing during early
spring. You can increase the mowing intervals as
the growth rate of the grass begins to decline
during the course of the year.
If you are unable to mow the grass for an extend-
ed period, you should initially select a higher cut-
ting height setting, then re-mow two days later
with a lower cutting height setting.
6.6.8
Mowing high grass
Mow with a higher cutting height adjustment
when the grass is longer than normal or when it
is wet. Then re-mow the grass with a lower, nor-
mal setting.
