NOTE: A full grass catcher will reduce the performance of
this product.
•
• Lift the hooks (20c) of the grass catcher off the rods (20d).
• Remove the grass clippings from the discharge chute (25) into the grass catcher (20). Use a proper tool such as a brush.
WARNING! Never use your hands or feet to remove grass
clippings from the discharge chute (25)!
• Remove the grass catcher (20).
• Empty the grass clippings onto a compost heap.

Mulching insert
• For mulching work use the insert (28).
NOTE: Mulching means cutting and returning the grass
clippings to the lawn in one step: the grass clippings are cut
Under normal conditions, the mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn.
• (Fig. 27).
• Ensure the unlock button (28a) snaps in place.
• Press the unlock button (28a) downward to disengage and remove the mulching insert (28) (Fig. 28).

• Insert the mulching insert (28) into the rear discharge chute (25), make sure the side discharge attachment (29) and grass catcher
• Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps which interfere with the mulching action and
reduce runtime. The best time to mow grass is late afternoon when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to
direct sunlight.
• Set the cutting height to about one third of the grass blade length, ideally no more than 35 mm at one time for best mulching
performance. If the lawn is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cutting height to reduce the pushing effort and prevent
cutting height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow slowly.
• Keep the housing free of built-up grass for best performance. From time to time switch the product off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop. Then turn the product on its side. Using an object such as a wooden stick, remove any accumulation of
grass in the blade area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the blade. Clean often after cutting new grass and after every use.
NOTE: Sometimes fuel would leak from the fuel cap and
carburettor. Keep the fuel tank at top position to avoid it.
• Certain types of grass or grass conditions may require an area to be mulched a second time to fully disperse the grass across the
pattern in any way that would cause you to mow downhill.
• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn.
Grass collection

• Empty the grass catcher regularly.

Cutting height adjustment
Adjust the cutting height according to the needs of your lawn. The cutting height depends on the kind of lawn and its actual height.
When mowing high grass, start with the maximum cutting height and make a second cut with lower cutting height. New or thick
grass may require a higher cutting height and a narrower cutting path.
• Pull the lever (19) towards the wheel (13), and then move it forward or backward to the desired cutting height.
• Release the lever (19) and ensure it engages into place properly (Fig. 29).

Mowing
• Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects that could damage the product or its engine.
• Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underbody of the product, preventing the proper discharge of grass clippings,
and it could also cause you to slip and fall.
• Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass for a healthy lawn. In the autumn, lawns should only be cut as
long as there is growth.
• Slowly push the product forward.
• Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight lines along
one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is cut without missing
any spots (Fig. 30).
•

• Pay special attention when changing direction.
