and make certain that the control cables are not snagged or
stretched when folding or unfolding.

draining the oil to ensure all sludge deposits are drained away
with the oil.

the cutter bar, for tightness.
• Maintenance and cleaning of the equipment as well as remov-
ing the protection device may only be performed with the engine
stopped and the spark plug lead and - if available - the starting
key, removed.
Note information on the chassis before cleaning and oil change!

with water and do not hose down with a high pressure hose
in particular. Make certain to keep the engine cooling fins and
engine cooling air intake clean and free from debris.

Mulching
„Mulching" is a process in which the grass is finely chop-
ped by a special cutting system and then deposited on the
ground. The result is that the grass does not have to be
collected and disposed of. „Mulching" also prevents the lawn
from drying out.
Note:
• Depending on how fast the grass grows, you should mulch
1-2 times each week.
• The grass should not be too high or very wet!
• Walk slowly.
• When cutting, the strips should overlap.
• Do not cut more than 20 cm of grass at a time.
Important!
„Mulching" is not recommended if the lawn is mossy or
matted.
Reason:
The cut grass remains on top fo the moss or matted grass
and cannot reach the ground below.
Remedy:
The lawn should be aerated and fertilized regularly.
Inserting the mulching kit
Make sure that the motor is switched off and the
cutting blade is not moving.
1. Remove the grass bag.
