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

wi

ll encourage the development of

high-growing types of grass and

other weeds, such as clover and

da

isies.

The normal height of a lawn

is

approx. 4–5 cm. Only 1/3 of the

total he

ight should be mown;

therefore cut 7–8 cm long grass to

no

rmal height.

Preferably do not cut the lawn

sho

rter than 4 cm, otherwise the

turf

will be damaged in a dry period.

If the grass has grown particularly

hi

gh (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

le

ft 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

gra

ss 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.

it over surfa

ces 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 tran

sported.

When transporting the scarifier in

cooled down) in a clean and dry

room. Protect the appliance when

storing it for longer periods of time

e.g. against rust in winter.

At the end of the season or if the

unit will not be used for longer than

a month:

 Drain off the fuel into a suitable

receptacle, and immobilise the

engine as described in the

engine manual.

Caution

Drain fuel outdoors only.

 Clean the appliance and the

grass sack.

 To protect metal parts from rust,
