Tips on lawn care

Here are some tips to help you

keep your lawn looking healthy and

ensure uniform growth.

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 only rarely cut the grass, you

will encourage the development of

high-growing types of grass and

other weeds, such as 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, otherwise 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.

When mowing, always overlap the

mown swaths slightly.

Mulching (using the

accessories)

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.

For the best possible result the

grass must always be kept short,

see also section ”Mowing”.

Observe the following mulching

instructions:

– Do not mow wet grass.

– Never mow more than 2 cm.

– Drive slowly.

– Use the maximum engine speed.

– Regularly clean the cutter deck.

Transporting

Short distances by hand

Danger

Solid objects may be hit/propelled

by the rotating cutter deck causing

damage.

First stop the engine before moving

it over surfaces other than grass.

When using a vehicle

Danger

Before transportation, always stop

the engine and leave to cool down.

Remove spark-plug terminal.

The mower must not be tilted when

it is transported.

When transporting the scarifier in

or on a vehicle, ensure that it does

not move around unintentionally.

Empty the fuel tank before

transporting the device. The filler

cap must be closed tightly.

Appliances with collapsible bars:

Fig. 10

The steering handle can be

folded down to facilitate storage.

Servicing/cleaning

Danger

To protect against injury before all

work on the device

– switch off the engine,

– Remove the ignition key (if used),

– wait until all moving parts have

come to a complete stop and

the engine has cooled down,

– remove the spark plug connector

on the engine to prevent the

engine from being accidentally

started,

– which takes into account

additional safety information in

the engine manual.

Danger

To protect against injury from the

cutters, have a specialist garage

perform all work such as replacing

or regrinding the cutters (special

tools required).

Caution

When tilting the unit, always ensure

that the spark plug is face up to

prevent fuel or oil damaging the

engine.

Note

Regular care ensures a long

service life and fault-free operation.

Inadequate maintenance of your

appliance may lead to safety-

related defects.

Maintenance

Caution
