8. Information concerning correct mowing

	General Information about
GB
	Lawn Care
	We recommend mowing your lawn
	every week if possible to keep your
	lawn looking its best. Mowing
	your lawn regularly strengthens the
	individual blades of grass and
	makes your lawn more resistant.
	Short grass cuttings (up to around
	1 cm in length) can be left on the
	lawn after mowing. Longer cuttings
	should be removed so that the
	lawn does not turn yellow and
	become matted.
	Cut your lawn for the first time in
	the spring as soon as the grass
	begins to grow and you can walk
	on the lawn. If the grass has
	already grown too tall, first mow
	in one direction with a high cutting
	height then mow at right angles
	to the first cut with the required
	shorter cutting height.
	Mowing
	Only mow with sharp, unworn
	blades so that the blades of grass
	are not frayed and the lawn
	does not turn yellow.
	The cutting height should always
	be at least 3 – 4 cm since the
	lower part of the grass blade is
	white. If you cut the grass too short,
	the lawn will no longer appear
	lush and green. The blades of
	grass will also dry out too quickly
	above all in the summer.
	If you mow your lawn using stage
	1 (this position is only for ornamen-
	tal lawns and especially level sur-
	faces), you should water the lawn
	well after mowing as it is otherwise
	possible that the lawn will dry out
	and turn yellow.
	The dual channel air system with
	the effective cutting technology
	collects grass and sucks in an air
	stream even with the deepest
	lawn cutting height.

To achieve a clean cut, always guide your lawnmower at an appropriate speed in straight cut- ting paths. The paths should always overlap by a few centimetres so that you do not miss strips of lawn.

Never lift or carry the lawnmower when the motor is running.

If the lawnmower comes into con- tact with a foreign object, switch off the motor and unplug the mains plug. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and carry out any neces- sary repairs before you restart the motor and continue mowing. Inspect the lawnmower immediately if it begins to vibrate unusually vigorously.

Note:

When working on slopes and inclines always work diagonally to the incline. You can prevent the lawnmower from sliding downhill by mowing slightly diagonally upwards. Do not mow extremely steep slopes and take extra care when changing directions on slopes.

Clean the underside of the mower housing on a regular basis. Remove grass residues, which make it more difficult to start the motor and impair the cutting quality and ejection of grass cuttings.

Always switch off the motor before leaving the lawnmower unattended.

Mowing with the Grass Catcher,

As soon as grass rests remain on the lawn or the filling level display (fig. I pos. 17) shows FULL,

the grass box is full and must be emptied.

Important for the filling level indication:

If you set the cutting height to minimum, this may under certain circumstances disturb the filling level indication.

Handling the grass box

To remove the grass box, open the multi-function box (fig. H pos. 5), lift up the grass box (fig. H pos. 14) from the front using the handle so as to ensure that the cut grass remains in the grass box.

After emptying, initially insert the grass box between the right and left guides and then insert it at the front in the area where the handle is. If the grass box has been correctly inserted, the multi-function box is positioned against the housing.

Warning! Always switch off Athe motor and wait for the cutting tool to stop rotating before removing the grass catcher.

Note:

To ensure the grass catcher is filled as full as possible, you should clean the grass catcher and above all the air grille after each use. Keep the ventilation slits (fig. A pos. 9) and the support surfaces of the grass box free from deposits.

Warning! Do not use your Ahands or feet to remove grass cuttings from the mower housing. Use a suitable implement such as a broom or dustpan brush.

Mowing without the Grass Catcher

Due to the high rear discharge area, the cut grass is evenly deposited on the lawn when mowing without a grass box.

When mowing without a grass box, no filling level will be indicated.
