MULCHING

Caution! Attach and remove the mulching plug only with the engine turned off.
Caution! Use only original mulching accessories when mulching.
1. Remove the grass catcher and hold the plastic grass
catcher cover with your hand (Fig. 9 – point 1)
2. Install the mulching plug into the discharge chute
(Fig. 9 – point 2) and make sure that the plug is seated
firmly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Do not mulch tall
grass all at once, this will prevent overloading the
lawnmower mechanism and the engine.

SETTING THE MOWING HEIGHT

The mowing height is set centrally using the central mowing height adjustment lever (Fig. 1 – point 10)
You can select in the range of 25 to – 75 mm. The middle mowing height is the most suitable for the majority of
lawns. Lawn damage may result when the lowest height is set.
Caution! For maximum effectiveness, please always trim the grass by 1/3 of its length only.
Mow the overgrown grass gradually and after each mowing, lower the height by one step.
To keep quality lawn, do not use the lowest mowing height setting.
