• Clean the engine with a brush and/or
compressed air.
• Clean the motor cooling air intake.
• After cleaning using water, start the machine
and any cutting decks to remove any water
which may otherwise end up in the bearings
and cause damage.

8 USING THE ACCESSORY

Make sure the grass to be cut is com-
pletely free of foreign objects such as
stones etc.
8.1

CUTTING HEIGHT

For best results, cut off the top third of the grass.
See fig. 31.
If the grass is long and needs cutting back signifi-
cantly, cut twice using two different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven.
This would entail a risk of the cutting devices being
damaged against the surface and the lawn's top
layer of soil being removed.
8.2

MOWING TIPS

To get the best mowing results, follow the tips
given below.
• Cut grass frequently.
• Run the machine at full revs.
• Grass should not be wet.
• Use sharp blades.
• Keep the bottom side of the cutting means clean.
