Tips on lawn care

Here are some tips to help you keep your lawn look-

ing healthy and ensure uniform growth.

Mowing

A lawn is made up of various dierent types of

grass. If you mow more frequently, the grown of

strongly-rooting grasses is favoured resulting in rm

turf. If you only rarely cut the grass, you will encour-

age the development of high-growing types of grass

and other weeds (e.g., clover and daisies).

The normal height of a lawn is approx. 4-5 cm. Only

1/3 of the total height should be mown; therefore

cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal height. Preferably

do not cut the lawn shorter than 4 cm, otherwise the

turf will be damaged in a dry period. If the grass has

grown particularly high (e.g. during a holiday period),

cut it back to its normal height in stages.

Mulching (using the accessories)

With mulching, the grass is cut into small pieces

(approx. 1 cm) during mowing and is left on the

ground. Lots of nutrients in the cut grass are

retained.

For the best possible result the grass must always

be kept short, see also section “Mowing”.

Follow the instructions for mulching below:

- Do not mow wet grass.

- Never mow more than max. 2 cm of the total

grass length.

- Mow slowly.

- Use maximum engine speed.

- Clean the cutter deck regularly.

Transporting

Drive the mower only short distances otherwise

transport it by vehicle. Transport the device on a

transport vehicle over long distances.

Note: The mower is not approved for public thor-

oughfares in accordance with national road legisla-

tion (StVO).
