Working Instructions
General Working Instructions
• As far as possible, mow the lawn
when it is dry in order to protect the
turf.
• Set the cutting height such that the
equipment is not overloaded.
• Run the equipment at walking speed
in lines that are as straight as possible.
For uninterrupted mowing, the lines
should always overlap by a few centi-
metres.
• Do not move backwards.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope.
• If the blade comes into contact with
a foreign body, switch off the engine
immediately. Wait until the blade is
stationary and check the equipment
for damage. Restart work only if the
equipment is undamaged.
• Switch off the equipment during longer
breaks and for transportation and wait
until the blade is stationary.
• Clean the equipment after each use, as
described in the “cleaning and mainte-
nance“ chapter.
Setting the Cutting Height
The equipment has 7 positions for setting
the cutting height (30-95 mm):
1. Pull the lever (20) outwards and
push it to the desired position
(38).
2. Push the lever (20) back in.
