DRIVING

Mowing tips

WARNING!

Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades.

Localise and mark rocks and other fixed objects in order to avoid collisions.

6007-212

• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained.

• The best mowing result will be obtained at a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed (the Rider moves slowly). If the grass is not too long and thick the driving speed can be increased without significantly impairing the mowing result.

Mowing patterns

WARNING!

Never drive the Rider on terrain that slopes more than 15°. Mow upwards and downwards on slopes, never sideways. Avoid sudden changes in direction.

The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. Mowing will be more even and the clippings will be more evenly distributed across the area. The overall mowing time will not be longer as higher driving speeds can be selected without impairing the mowing result.

Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result will be poorer as the wheels will sink into the soft lawn.

Hose beneath the cutting unit with water after each use. When cleaning, the cutting unit should be moved into the service position.

It is important to mow frequently when mowing with the mulching function.
