Tips on lawn care

Mowing
A lawn is made up of various
different types of grass. If you mow
your lawn frequently, those types of
grass which form strong roots and
a firm turf surface will grow better. If
you seldom cut the grass, you will
enhance the development of high-
growing types of grass and other
weeds, such as clover, daisies ...).
The normal height of a lawn is
1
approx. 4–5 cm. Only /
3
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
sward will be damaged in a dry
period. If the grass has grown
particularly high (for example,
during a holiday period), cut it back
to its normal height in several
stages.
Mulching using the accessories
(optional)
During mowing the grass is cut into
small pieces (approx. 1 cm) and is
left on the ground. A lot of the
nutrients in the cut grass are
retained for the benefit of the lawn.
Please note the following:
Do not mow wet grass.

Never mow more than max. 2 cm

of the total grass length.
Drive slowly.

Clean the mower cover regularly.
