5.6 To mow with the grass catcher

Warning! Switch off the product, wait until all moving
parts have completely stopped and remove the safety key
before removing the grass catcher.
The grass catcher has a level indicator. It is held open by the
flow of air produced by the product when in use. When the
flap closes during the mowing this means that the grass
catcher is full and must be emptied. Check that the opening
under the flap is clean and lets through air, otherwise the
level indicator will not work properly. Empty the grass
catcher if grass cuttings are left on the ground.

5.7 To empty the grass catcher

1
To remove the grass catcher, lift up the flap with one
hand, grip the grass catcher handle with the other,
and lift out the grass catcher.
2
When the grass catcher is removed the flap falls
down and covers the ejector opening.
3
If there is grass left in the opening, pull the lawn
mower backwards about 1 metre to make it easier to
start the motor.
4
Never clear the mower deck or blade with your hands
or feet – use a brush or other suitable tool. Clean the
grass catcher after it has been used for best
functionality, especially the air grille.
5
Lift up the ejector flap with one hand and hook on
the grass catcher from above with the other hand.
Only fit the grass catcher when the product is
switched off and the moving parts are not moving.

5.8 To mow with the mulching unit

When using the mulching unit the grass is shredded and
spread out on the lawn. It is not necessary to collect up the
grass and dispose of it.
● To use the mulching unit, remove the grass catcher, insert
the adapter (A) for the mulching unit in the ejector
opening (B) and close the ejector. (Figure 11)
Note: The mulching unit should only be used when the
grass is relatively short.

5.9 Tips for lawn mowing

● A lawn consists of different types of grass. Mowing a lawn
often benefits grass with strong roots and forms a thick
and firm lawn.
● The normal height for a lawn is about
4–5 cm. Do not cut more than about 1/3 of the height at
one go, i.e. from 7–8 cm to normal height.
● Do not mow the lawn shorter than 4 cm, this can cause it
to dry out.
● Cut high grass in steps.
● Overlap each row a little when mowing.
● If possible, avoid cutting wet grass.
Cut the grass when it is dry.
● Be very careful when changing direction on slopes.
Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. Work
across slopes, never up and down.
● Do not mow slopes with a gradient of more than 15° – risk
of personal injury.
