9.1 Mowing operation
General information:
During the mowing operation, the clippings
are ejected over a wide area to the side of
the mowing deck, where they remain on
the ground.
The following points must be observed so
that the clippings are ejected over a wide
area:
● Take account of the driving direction.
● Only mow at the maximum engine
speed. (Ö 8.2), (Ö 8.3)
● The lawn should be dry. Owing to their
higher weight, wet clippings lead to the
formation of swathes.
● The mowing blades must be in proper
condition (sharp, undamaged).

9. Notes on working with the
machine
Warning:
Risk of injury.
Before each use, observe all
information regarding safe
operation of the machine.
Working on slopes requires special
concentration and care.
Note
Check the mowing deck for correct
installation position before starting
work.
Select a flat, even area for initial
use of your machine and mow in
straight and slightly overlapping
strips for practising purposes.
Grass should always be mowed
when dry.
Caution - fire hazard!
Avoid overloading the mowing deck
drive. Overloading may lead to
constant slipping of the V-belt and
consequently to a fire hazard due to
overheating.
Unusual running noise, e.g. a
"squealing" (slipping noise) of the
V-belt, indicates overloading.
For this reason, never mow in high
grass when the discharge chute is
blocked; use a mulching kit (special
accessory) if necessary.
The mowing deck, particularly the
V-belt area, must always be kept
free of combustible material (grass,
leaves, etc.). It should also be
cleaned regularly to prevent a fire
hazard.
