the grass clippings are thus broken down by soil organ-
isms forming a nutrient cycle. Mulched lawns therefore
need to be fertilised much less frequently.
As a general rule, the lawn must be mowed relatively of-
ten 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 set the mower so that only approx. 40% of the
total height of the lawn is mulched. If the mulch remains
visible on the lawn (e.g. during the first cut of the year or
during heavy growth), the grass bag (5) should be used.

11 Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
Have maintenance and repair tasks that are
not described in this operating manual, car-
ried out by a specialist workshop. Use only
original spare parts.
WARNING
Improper maintenance or cleaning work can
cause injuries!
WARNING
The product may start unexpectedly and cause inju-
ries and burns during cleaning, repair and mainte-
nance work.
– Switch the product off.
– Remove the battery.
– Allow the product to cool.
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when handling the
blades!
• Pull the safety key out.
11.1 Cleaning
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the
product clean with a clean cloth* or blow it off with
compressed air* at low pressure. We recommend that
you clean the product directly after every use.
• Ventilation openings must always be free.
• Cleaning with a garden hose is only recommended at
low pressure. A high-pressure cleaner is not suitable
for cleaning the product.
1. Unhook the grass collection basket and brush it out
with a hand brush. You can also roughly clean the
housing of the lawnmower with the sweeper.
2. Clean the underside of the lawnmower with a spatula
and hand brush. The spatula helps to remove coarse
and larger plant debris from the area of the blade (16).
Cleaning the underbody is easier and more thorough
immediately after use. Then dirt and plant residues
are still fresh and can be loosened more easily.
3. Do not use any cleaning products or solvents; they
could attack the plastic parts of the product. Make
sure that no water can penetrate the product interior.
4. Check that the grass ejection is clear of grass resi-
dues and remove these if necessary.
