5.2.1 Use in the spring

Your lawn is in need of air after the
GB winter period. If your lawn contains
large amounts of moss and matted
grass, you can make regular usage of
the aerator roller. The recommended
cutting height is approx. 25 – 40 mm.
The aerator springs dig deep into the
ground to remove moss and matted
grass. This opens up the ground to air,
water and nutrients again. Your lawn
will start to look better and the grass
will become more dense and resistant.

5.3 Mowing with cuttings box
Fig. 6
The cuttings box must be emptied as
soon as cuttings remain on the lawn
during mowing.
!
! Attention! Always make
sure the motor is switched off and
the cutter has stopped when remo-
ving the cuttings box.
To remove the cuttings box lift the
safety cover (Fig. 6, item 1) on the
mower with one hand. Use the other
hand to remove the cuttings box by
the handle (Fig. 6, item 2).
On letting go of the safety cover, it will
automatically fall shut and close off the
discharge opening.
If grass cuttings remain in the
discharge opening, the mower will
start more easily if you pull it back
about 1 m so that the cuttings can fall
out.

5.2.2 Use in the summer

When the weather is dry, it is impor-
tant to protect the grass from drying
out or turning brown. You should the-
refore not cut it too short. The recom-
mended cutting height is approx.
40–45 mm.
The aerator roller can be connected
every second or third time you cut the
grass. It will comb out any remaining
cuttings and remove matted grass from
the surface. When cutting tall grass the
aerator roller should be switched off.

with your hands or feet but use
suitable implements, e.g. brush or

Emptying cuttings box
Hold the removed cuttings box by the
handle with one hand and empty out
the cuttings.
Note:
The mower housing should be cleaned
after every use.
Clean the cuttings box after use to
ensure proper filling.

5.2.3 Use in autumn

To ideally prepare the lawn surface for
the winter we recommend cutting the
lawn down to approx. 25 mm. The
aerator roller digs deep into the gro-
und to remove moss and matted grass
as well as wet and trodden-in leaves.
The cuttings box must be emptied as
soon as cuttings remain on the lawn
during mowing (see item 5.3, "Mowing
with cuttings box").
The mower housing should be cleaned
after every use.
Action of aerator springs
Depending on the type of soil the aerator springs
penetrate up to 7 mm in the turf.
The aerator springs remove moss roots,
matted grass and weeds from the surface.
The aerator springs pull
up plant residues from the lawn.
The aerator springs even collect wet
for trodden-in leaves from the lawn.
5.3.1 Fitting cuttings box
!
! Attention! Always make
sure the motor is switched off and
the cutter has stopped when fitting
the cuttings box.
Lift the safety cover on the mower with
one hand. Use the other hand to hold
the cuttings box by the handle and ins-
ert it into the catch.
Note:
If the box has been fitted correctly, the
safety cover will be in direct contact
with the cuttings box.
Mowing without cuttings box
The safety cover has been designed so
that the mower can also be used with
the safety cover closed and the cut-
tings box left off. The cuttings then fall
onto the lawn under the safety cover.
