7.3. CUTTING WITH THE LAWNMOWER
This mower has 2 different cut settings (cutting with
debris collection, with lateral discharge and mulching
cut. Before you begin working, you must configure
the mower to set it one of the three possible ways.
Cutting with debris collection:
In this setting, the mower will cut the grass and send
it to the collector bag. The grass will be cut and
the rest of grass cut within the bag. For the debris
collection setting, place the bag in the back of the
machine and make sure that the lateral outlet cover
is closed and the mulching plug is not installed.
Mulching cut:
In this setting the mowed grass will be on the lawn,
but unlike the lateral discharge cutting setting, the
cut grass is crushed into small particles that are
deposited on the lawn thus generating an organic
fertilizer that provides nutrients and helps maintain
moisture. For this setting the bag and side deflector
must not be installed. The mulching plug should be
installed and the rear output cover and side cover
must be closed.
Place the mower in a corner of the lawn area to be
cut and set the desired cutting height.
Check that the bag is properly installed; make sure
that the blade is not in contact with any object, and
start the mower.
Walk on the grass to the rhythm of the mower.
Do not tilt the machine with the engine running
except in the case that you have to start cutting tall
grass, which is the only case in which you may raise
the front wheels slightly to facilitate entry of the
mower to the work area.
Note: If the grass is very high it will be difficult for
you to start the engine. If the grass is very high, you
should slightly raise the lawnmower's front wheels,
forcibly pushing down with the handle, and start
your lawnmower in this position. Once the engine
has acquired the normal engine speed slowly lower
the mower wheels while the machine starts to cut.
Alternatively, if next to the lawn area there is a flat
surface free of objects and without grass (Earth,
screed, concrete), start the lawnmower in the clear
area and entering the grass area by slightly lifting the
front wheels of the lawnmower.
If the engine's rotation speed goes into excess or
it stops, it means that the grass is too high for the
lawnmower's cutting capacity and forcing this can be
harmful to the machine. In this case, make a first cut
at the machine's maximum height and then a second
cut at the desired height.
