INTENDED USE

This lawnmower is only intended for mowing in private gardens with a

maximum inclination of 10° (18%) - not for public parks, sports grounds

or in farming or forestry. Other kinds of use are only permitted with origi-

nal spare parts.

Please observe the local directives for the operation of lawnmowers.

Use as a mulch mower

This lawn tractor can be used both as a 

mulch mower

and as a lawn

tractor with a 

lateral discharge function

.

What is mulching?

The specially shaped mower blades cut the grass, shred it into a fine

grassy mass and blow it back onto the grass to decompose. This means

that the cuttings do not need to be collected. Mulching is therefore dis-

posal of the cuttings and fertiliser during one session of work. The mulch

layer protects the ground from drying out and also provides it with nutri-

ents.

Information and tips on mulch mowing

As in normal mowing, a sharp blade is a prerequisite for mulching. The

grass to be cut should not be higher than 

8 cm

. The best results during

mulch mowing are achieved by 

regular cutting back

by about 

2 cm

,

from 6 cm to 4 cm. More frequent mowing may therefore be necessary

compared with traditional forms of mowing because only young grass

with soft leaf tissue decomposes quickly. This is why grass should not

be mowed under 4 cm. Mulch mowing is particularly recommended

during the summer months.

Adjusting the speed of the mower for mulching 

Select the speed for normal grass/the weekly cut and set the maximum

engine speed so that the mowing blade can shred the grass in an opti-

mal manner.

MEANING OF SYMBOLS INDICATED ON THE
MOWER

Read operating instructions before start of

operation.

Keep other people out of the danger zone.

Pull the ignition plug out before maintenan-

ce and repair work.

Do not use on slopes above 10° (18%).

Attention, danger!

Keep hands and feet away from the cutting

gear.

While mowing, keep other people, in parti-

cular children and animals, away from the

working area.

Danger: do not go here.
