To regulate the cutting height
adjustment, press the mower level
away from the lawnmower and
move it forward or backward to
the desired height.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE LAWNMOWER
This mower has 3 different cut settings (cutting with
debris collection, with lateral discharge and mulching
cut. Before you begin working, you must configure the
mower to set it one of the three possible ways.
Cutting with debris collection:
In this setting, the mower will cut the grass and send
it to the collector bag. The grass will be cut and
the rest of grass cut within the bag. For the debris
collection setting, place the bag in the back of the
machine and make sure that the lateral outlet cover is
closed and the mulching plug is not installed.
Cutting with lateral discharge:
In this setting, the cut grass exits the side of the
lawnmower and the grass debris remains on the
lawn. In this case the machine must not have the
bag installed, the rear output cover should be closed,
and the mulching plug and lateral deflector must be
installed.
Mulching cut:
In this setting the mowed grass will be on the lawn,
but unlike the lateral discharge cutting setting, the cut
grass is crushed into small particles that are deposited
on the lawn thus generating an organic fertilizer that
provides nutrients and helps maintain moisture. For
this setting the bag and side deflector must not be
installed. The mulching plug should be installed and
the rear output cover and side cover must be closed.
Place the mower in a corner of the lawn area to be cut
and set the desired cutting height.
Check that the bag is properly installed; make sure
that the blade is not in contact with any object, and
start the mower.
Walk on the grass to the rhythm of the mower.
Do not tilt the machine with the engine running except
in the case that you have to start cutting tall grass,
which is the only case in which you may raise the
front wheels slightly to facilitate entry of the mower to
the work area.
Note: If the grass is very high it will be difficult for
you to start the engine. If the grass is very high, you
should slightly raise the lawnmower's front wheels,
forcibly pushing down with the handle, and start
your lawnmower in this position. Once the engine
has acquired the normal engine speed slowly lower
the mower wheels while the machine starts to cut.
Alternatively, if next to the lawn area there is a flat
surface free of objects and without grass (Earth,
