Working with the
Lawnmower
Regular mowing encourages increased foli-
ation of the grass and kills off weeds at the
same time. Therefore, not only does each
mowing increase the density of the lawn, it
also produces an evenly resilient lawn.
The fi rst cut is to be made in around April,
at a growth height of 70 – 80 mm. In the
main vegetation period, the lawn is to be
mowed at least once a week.
• Run the equipment at a walking pace,
in tracks that are as even as possible.
For gap-free mowing, the tracks should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Adjust the cut height so the equipment
is not overloaded. Otherwise, the mo-
tor may be damaged.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope. Take particular care when going
backwards and pulling the equipment.
• Clean the equipment after each use, as
described in the chapter on "Cleaning,
Maintenance and Storage".
Switch off the equipment
after work and in order to
transport it, disconnect the
plug and wait until the blade
stops. There is a risk of in-
jury.
Difference between mowing
and mulching lawns
When using the mulch kit (18), the grass
clippings are not captured in a collec-
tion basket but are instead shredded and
spread across the lawn. The nutrients con-
tained in the clippings are thus left to be
broken down by soil organisms and form
a nutrient cycle. Mulched lawns therefore
need to be fertilised much less frequently.
As a basic rule, the lawn has to be mowed
relatively often so that only small amounts
of mulch remain on the lawn.
It is therefore best to mulch the lawn at
least once a week and to adjust the mower
so that only about 40% of the total height
of the lawn is left as mulch. If the mulch
remains visible on the lawn (for example
