Working Instructions

General Working Instructions

• As far as possible, mow the lawn when
it is dry in order to protect the turf.
• Set the cutting height such that the
equipment is not overloaded.
• Run the equipment at walking speed in
lines that are as straight as possible. For
uninterrupted mowing, the lines should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Do not move backwards.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope.
• If the blade comes into contact with
a foreign body, switch off the engine
immediately. Wait until the blade is
stationary and check the equipment for
damage. Restart work only if the equip-
ment is undamaged.
• Switch off the equipment during longer
breaks and for transportation and wait
until the blade is stationary.
• Clean the equipment after each use, as
described in the "cleaning and mainte-
nance" chapter.
