Greencut GLM880XE Instruction Manual page 89

• When mowing the lawn, move the mower through the lawn at a sensible rate so as not to strain the machine, thus
maintaining its efficiency and to achieve the best cutting results.
• Mow in slightly overlapping rows. An effective pattern is to mow in straight lines, starting along the longest edge
of the work area, then turning at the end and mowing the next row and so on. Using a regular pattern helps keep
the end result neat and reduces the chance of uncut areas.
• For lawn areas with trees or flowerbeds, for best results it is recommended to cut 1 to 2 rows around the
circumference of trees or flowerbeds.
• Empty the grass catcher regularly. Some models may feature an indicator that shows you when you have to empty
the grass catcher. This is usually a small flap on the top of the catcher that lifts when the catcher becomes full.
• You need to always keep in mind that the longest part of turf consists of a stem and one or two leaves. If you cut
the leaves completely, the grass will be damaged and the new growth will be much more difficult.
• The low level cut used in excess, will cause alteration in the roots and consequently the appearance of the lawn
will be irregular.
• During summer, the grass should be kept moderately high since it helps the soil not drying out.
• The grass will look better if you cut it regularly at the same height alternating cutting directions.
