Mowing Tips
WARNING:
Use ear protection.
Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades.
•Locate and mark plants, rocks and other fixed
objects in order to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained.
• The mowing result will be best with a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed
(the machine moves slowly). If the grass is not too
high and thick, the driving speed can be increased Mark objects if necessary without noticeably depreciating the mowing result.
WARNING:
Never drive the machine on terrain that slopes more than 10°. Mow upwards and downward on slopes, never sideways. Avoid sudden directional changes.
•The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. Mowing will be more even and the clippings will be more evenly distributed across the area. Mowing time will not be longer as higher driving speeds can be selected without impairing the mowing result.
•Avoid cutting wet grass. The mowing result is often worse as the grass clippings lump together more easily and the ground is more easily damaged.
•Clean the underneath of the cutting unit after use. When cleaning, the cutting unit should be moved into the service position. If water is used, lower the cutting unit and let the blades rotate a few minutes to drive any water out of the bearings and belts.
•It is important to mow frequently when mowing with the mulching function.
•Use the differential lock if there is a risk of wheel spin. The differential lock can be engaged during operation and turns can be made with it engaged.
