Tips on lawn care
Some tips to help your lawn grow healthily and evenly.
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various different types of
grass. If you mow more frequently, the grown of
strongly-rooting grasses is favoured resulting in
firm turf. If you only rarely mow the grass, you will
encourage 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, oth-
erwise 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 (with 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 lawn are retained.
To obtain optimum results, the lawn must always be
kept short; see also the section entitled '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 the maximum engine speed.
- Clean the cutter deck regularly.

location of use. Transport the device on a transport
vehicle over long distances.
