Mulch (AMBITION 38 E, AMBITION 42 E)
„Mulching" is a process in which the grass is finely chopped by a spe-
cial cutting system and then deposited on the ground. The result is
that the grass does not have to be collected and disposed of. „Mul-
ching" also prevents the lawn from drying out.
3
Instructions for mulching
We recommend:
z Depending on the growth of grass, mulch 1 – 2 x per week
z The grass should not be too high nor too wet!
z Go slow while mulching
z Take care that the blade channels do overlap.
z Do not cut grass more than 20 mm.
3
Note:
Mulching is not advisable in case of moss-affected or
entangled grass, because the cut material stays on the moss
surface and/or entanglement and thus cannot be absorbed by
the ground.
z Regularly scarify and manure the lawn.
Retrofitting for mulching
1. Lift the ejection flap.
2. Remove the grass catcher.
Q R
3. Insert mulch key
4. Lower the ejection flap.
Tips for mowing
z To prevent strips of grass from being left unmowed, the cutting
paths must always overlap a few centimeters
z Always let cable trail on the cut side of the lawn.
