12 Working instructions
• Only cut with sharp, flawless mowing blades so that
the blades of grass do not fray and the lawn does not
turn yellow.
• To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawnmower in the
straightest possible paths. These strips should always
overlap by a few centimetres so that no patches re-
main.

• Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
be sure to remove grass debris. Deposits make the
starting process more difficult, impair cutting quality
and grass discharge.
• On slopes, the cutting path should be made perpen-
dicular to the slope. It is possible to prevent the lawn-
mower from slipping by lifting it upwards at an angle.
12.1 After mowing
• Always allow the engine to cool down before parking
the lawnmower in an enclosed space.
Remove grass, leaves, grease, and oil before storage.
Do not store other objects on the lawnmower.
• Check all screws and nuts before the next use. Tight-
en up loose screws.
• Empty the grass collection basket before the next use.
• Please also observe the chapter "Storage".
