Mowing Tips

WARNING!
!
Clear the lawn of stones and other objects
that can be thrown out by the blades.
• Localise and mark large rocks and other fixed objects in
order to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the
desired mowing result is attained.
• The mowing result will be best with the highest permitted
engine speed, see technical data, (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low speed (the Rider moves slowly). If the
grass is not too high and thick, the driving speed can be
increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing
result.
• The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. Mowing
will be more even and the clippings will be more evenly
distributed across the area. The overall mowing time will
not be longer as higher driving speeds can be selected
without impairing the mowing result.
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result will be poorer
as the wheels will sink into the soft lawn.
• Hose down the cutting deck with water underneath each
time it is used. The cutting deck should then be put in the
service position.
• When the BioClip function is used, it is very important that
the mowing interval is not too long.
WARNING!
!
Never drive the machine on terrain that
slopes more than 10° ° ° ° . . . . Mow upwards and
downwards on slopes, never sideways.
Avoid sudden directional changes.
