Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap mowing paths a
little.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This
will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The
swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
How frequently you should mow your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the grass
grows. In the main growing season (May - June) you
will probably need to mow the lawn twice a week,
otherwise just once a week. The cutting height should
be between 4 - 6 cm and the amount of growth before
mowing again should be 4 - 5 cm. If the grass is
allowed to grow somewhat longer on occasion, never
make the mistake of cutting it back to the normal
height in one go. This will harm the lawn. Never cut it
back by more than half the height in one go.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it
more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the
quality of the cut and make it harder for the
equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You
can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by
holding a position at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height according to the length of the
grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it
several times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are
cut at one time.
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on the
blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the motor has been switched
off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely
attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the
contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it.
In the event that the blade strikes an object,
immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for
the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect
the condition of the blade and the blade mount.
Replace any parts that are damaged.

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower or the level indicator (Figure 7/Item A) closes,
it is time to empty the grass bag.
Important. Before taking off the grass bag,
switch off the motor and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the grass bag, use one hand to lift up the
chute flap and the other to grab onto the bag handle.
Remove the bag. For safety reasons, the chute flap
automatically falls down after removing the grass bag
and closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass
remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart the
motor if you pull the mower back approximately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in
or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable
tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the catch bag and
especially the net must be cleaned after each use.
Reattach the grass bag only when the motor is
switched off and the blade is stopped. Using one
hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing onto the
bag handle with the other. Hang in the bag from the
top.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Pull the safety plug before carrying out any cleaning
work (Figure 8/Item 5).
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
down with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the equipment
immediately after you use it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the
plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no
water can get into the interior of the equipment.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running water,
particularly with high-pressure water.
At the end of the season, perform a general
inspection of the lawn mower and remove any
grass and dirt which may have accumulated. At
the start of each season, ensure that you check
the condition of the blade. If repairs are
necessary, please contact our customer service
center. Use only genuine spare parts.
