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,
screed, concrete), start the lawnmower in the clear
area and entering the grass area by slightly lifting the
front wheels of the lawnmower.
If the engine's rotation speed goes into excess or
it stops, it means that the grass is too high for the
lawnmower's cutting capacity and forcing this can be
harmful to the machine. In this case, make a first cut
at the machine's maximum height and then a second
cut at the desired height.
7.4. EMPTYING THE CATCHER
Empty the lawnmower's bag as soon as you notice
it is full. You will notice that the bag is full because
the mower will stop picking up the cut grass as well,
leaving many remains on the ground.
Whenever you are going to empty the bag, turn off the
engine and check that the blade has stopped before
removing the bag.
1. Lift the lid from the rear exit.
2. Lift the catcher.
3. Remove the catcher back.
4. Empty the catcher.
5. Lift the lid from the rear exit.
6. Place the catcher by hooking the protrusions
on the chassis of the catcher to the recess of the
handlebar attachment.
7.5. RECOMENDATIONS
Always cut the grass when it is dry. Avoid mowing
the lawn when it is wet after having watered or after
having rained.
Cut less than 2 cm of grass at a time. If your lawn is
very high, it is advisable to make successive passes
with the 2 cm cutting height every time. So no it will
