Transporting
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 cut more than 2 cm of the total grass
length.
- Mow slowly.
- Use maximum engine speed.
- Clean the cutter deck regularly.

transport vehicle over long distances.
