11.6 Mowing
m WARNING!
Danger of accident when reversing!
Be aware of the rear environment when reversing!
- Reverse only if necessary!
Hints for mowing
• Before each mowing operation, check that the
mowing blade is correctly attached, in good con-
dition and well sharpened. Always wear protective
gloves when doing this!
• Check the mower, mowing blade and other parts if
you have driven into a foreign object or if the device
vibrates more than normal.
• Only mow when there is sufficient light.
• Watch out for traffic on or near a road. Keep the side
discharge away from the road.
• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have
trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other
way.
• Make sure that there are no persons or animals in
the vicinity when reversing.
• Only cut with sharp, flawless mowing blades so that
the blades of grass do not fray and the lawn does
not turn yellow.
• To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawnmower in the
straightest possible paths. These strips should always
overlap by a few centimetres so that no patches remain.

• Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and be sure to remove grass debris. Grass deposits
make the starting process more difficult, impair cut-
ting quality and grass discharge.
11.6.1 Adjusting the cutting height (fig. 8)
m Attention! The cutting height may only be ad-
justed when the mower is shut off.
Set the cutting height depending on the actual length

mum of 4 cm of lawn is removed at a time.
1. Engage the cutting height adjustment lever (4) to
the desired cutting height.
2. 7 different cutting heights can be set.
IMPORTANT: For transport, the cutting tool must al-
ways be placed in the highest position (level 7).
