Instructions for level indicator:
For an efficient functioning of the level indicator, regularly
clean the holes under the level indicator in the collection
bag with a hand brush.
Mulch
„Mulching" is a process in which the grass is finely chopped by a
special cutting system and then deposited on the ground. The re-
sult is that the grass does not have to be collected and disposed
of. „Mulching" also prevents the lawn from drying out.
3
Instructions for mulching
We recommend:
Depending on the growth of grass, mulch 1 – 2 x per
week
The grass should not be too high nor too wet!
Go slow while mulching
Take care that the blade channels do overlap.
Do not cut grass more than 20 mm.
3
Note:
Mulching is not advisable in case of moss-affected or
entangled grass, because the cut material stays on the
moss surface and/or entanglement and thus cannot be
absorbed by the ground.
Regularly scarify and manure the lawn.
