Tips on lawn care

Here are some tips to help you keep
your lawn looking healthy and ensu-
re uniform growth.
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various different
types of grass. If you mow your lawn
frequently, those types of grass
which form strong roots and a firm
turf surface will grow better. If you
only rarely cut the grass, you will en-
courage the development of high-
.
growing types of grass and other
weeds, such as clover and daisies.
The normal height of a lawn is ap-
prox. 4–5 cm. Only 1/3 of the total
height should be mown; therefore cut
7–8 cm long grass to normal height.
Preferably do not cut the lawn shorter
than 4 cm, otherwise the turf will be
damaged in a dry period. If the grass
has grown particularly high (for ex-
ample, during a holiday period), cut it
back to its normal height in stages.
Mulching
(using the accessories)
During mowing the grass is cut into
small pieces (approx. 1 cm) and is
left on the ground. A lot of the nutri-
ents in the cut grass are retained for
the benefit of the lawn.
For the best possible result the grass
must always be kept short, see also
section "Mowing".
Observe the following mulching inst-
ructions:
– Do not mow wet grass.
– Never mow more than max. 2 cm
of the total grass length.
– Drive slowly.
– Use maximum engine speed.
– Regularly clean the cutter deck.

Transporting

Drive the mower only short distan-
ces otherwise transport it by vehicle.
Transport the appliance on a vehicle
over greater distances.
Note: The mower is not approved for
public thoroughfares in accordance
with national road legislation (StVO).
Short distances
!
Danger
Solid objects may be hit/propelled
by the rotating cutter deck causing
damage.
Switch off the cutter deck before
driving the mower.
Long distances
Caution
Damage in transit
The mode of transport used (e.g.
transport vehicle, loading ramp)
must be in accordance with guideli
nes (refer to the respective opera
ting instructions). During tansport
the mower must be secured
against slipping.
Environmental hazard due
to leaked fuel
The mower must not be tilted when
it is transported.
Prepare a suitable transport ve-
hicle.
Attach the loading ramp to the
vehicle.
Manually push the mower in neu-
tral onto the loading surface.
Actuate the parking brake.
Secure the power tool against
slipping.
