Controlling and operating the lawnmower
MOWING WITH SIDE DISCHARGE
Caution! Attach and remove the side discharge defl ector only with the engine turned off.
Use your hand to lift the side discharge cover and attach the side discharge defl ector (fi g. 9). In order to mow
with side discharge, it is necessary to install a mulching plug into the discharge chute.
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. 10 – point 1)
2. Install the mulching plug into the discharge chute
(Fig. 10 – point 2) and make sure that the plug is seated
fi rmly.
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 11)
You can select from 5 positions 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.
REPLACING THE MOWING BLADES
Caution! For this task, we recommend that you contact an authorised service centre.
Caution! Prior to removing the blade, drain the oil from the oil tank.
