5.7 LAWN MAINTENANCE

1. To keep a lawn green, soft and attractive, it should be cut regularly without dam-
aging the grass. A lawn can be composed of different types of grass. If the lawn is
cut frequently, grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a solid grassy bed. If
the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and weeds start growing (plus
daisies and clovers, etc.).
2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
3. The blades must be in good condition and well sharpened so that the grass is cut
straight without a ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.
4. The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of the grass and to
get the necessary thrust to push the cuttings through the collector channel.
5. The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of growth of the grass.
The grass should not be left to grow too much between one cut and the next.
6. During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent the
ground from drying out.
7. The best height of the grass on a
well-kept lawn is approx. 4-5 cm.
With one cut, you do not need to
remove more than a third of the
total height.
If the grass is very tall, it should
be cut twice in a twenty-four hour
period - the first time with the
blades at maximum height, pos-
sibly reducing the cutting width,
and the second cut at the desired
height.
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, use suit-
