To get a good mowing result

• Do not mow a wet lawn. Wet grass gives inferior
results.
• Start with a high cutting height and lower it gradually.
• Mow with blades that rotate at high speed (highest
permitted engine speed, see
32 ). Move the product forward at low speed. If the
grass is not too high and thick, you can get a good
mowing result also at a higher speed.
• We recommend to use the product in collect mode.
To get the best mowing result in non-collect mode,
cut the grass frequently. To cut the grass frequently
does not take more time. The grass is shorter and
you can mow at a higher speed.
• The product can also be used to collect leaves on
the lawn. Set a high cutting height and set the
product in collect mode.
