appliance but occurs for technical
reasons.

ithout pulling the drive handle,
push appliance forwards a little,
then backwards.
Changing drive speed of the

Detaching and emptying the
grass sack
(for appliances with grass catchers)
Fig. 11
If cut grass is left lying on the
gro
und or if the level indicator
(optional, Fig. 12) indicates that the
basket is full:
Release safety hoop and wait
until the engine stops.
Lift the deflector flap and unhook
the grass sack.
Empty out the contents.
Working without the grass sack
Whenever you detach the grass
sack, the deflector flap drops down.
When working without a grass
catcher, the mowed grass is
ejected directly downwards.
Retrofitting for mulching
(for appliances with optional
mulcher)
Appliances with rear discharge:
Fig. 8A
Lift the ejection flap.
Remove the grass catcher.
Insert mulch key
(depending on model).
Lower the ejection flap.
Note
Models with integrated
mulching
function do not require a separate
mulch key – a specially shaped rear
flap assumes this function (fig. 8B).
Appliances with side discharge:
Fig. 9
Attach impact protection/mulch
lock instead of the side discharge
(Fig. 9A)
or
Remove side discharge – impact
protection/mulch lock closes

Tips on lawn care
Here are some tips to help you
keep your lawn looking healthy and
ensure 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
wi
ll encourage the development of
high-growing types of grass and
other weeds, such as clover and
da
isies.
The normal height of a lawn
is
approx. 4–5 cm. Only 1/3 of the
total he
ight should be mown;
therefore cut 7–8 cm long grass to
no
rmal height.
Preferably do not cut the lawn
sho
rter than 4 cm, otherwise the
turf
will be damaged in a dry period.
If the grass has grown particularly
hi
gh (e.g. during a holiday period),
cut it
back to its normal height in
stages.
When mowing, always overlap the
mown
swaths slightly.
Mulching (using the
accessories)
During mowing the grass is cut into
small pieces (approx. 1 cm) and is
le
ft on the ground. A lot of the
nutrients in the cut grass are
retained for the benefit of the lawn.
For the best possible result the
gra
ss must always be kept short,
see also section ”Mowing”.
Observe the following mulching
instructions:
– Do not mow wet grass.
– Never mow more than 2 cm.
– Drive slowly.
– Use the maximum engine speed.
– Regularly clean the cutter deck.
