Mulching

During mulching, the cut grass is chopped up

several times through a special air flow guidance

system in the mower blade area and then blown

back into the turf. The clippings remain on the

lawn surface where they partially decompose

and serve as a natural fertiliser. To ensure a per‐

fect, thick lawn, mulch regularly, removing one

third of the grass height.
Requirements for good mulching results:

–

Frequency: at least twice a week in the spring

(main period of growth) and once a week in

the summer and autumn.

–

Mow the lawn when dry if possible.

–

Use well-sharpened cutting blades.

–

Select a low rate of feed.

–

Vary the mowing direction and ensure that the

mowing strips overlap.

–

Always mow very tall grass in stages.

► If working with self-propulsion engaged: drive

the lawn mower forwards in a controlled man‐

ner.

► If working with self-propulsion disengaged:

push the lawn mower forwards slowly and in a

controlled manner.
