Translation of the original operating instructions

Only mow with sharp and proper cutting equipment
to prevent grass blades from fraying and the lawn
from turning yellow.
At the beginning of the cutting period and on new
lawns, select a relatively high cutting height and then
gradually lower it. To obtain a well maintained lawn,
the ultimate cutting height should be set at 3 cm,
since the grass has a white discolouration at the bot-
tom and, when cut too low, does not have the lus-
cious green look. Furthermore, the grass dries too
quickly in the summer.
If possible, cut your lawn on a weekly basis. Frequent
mowing causes the growth to enter the short-
trimmed grass and to make it resistant. Always mow
the lawn in tolerably dry condition.
When mowing in level 1 (this position is only suitable
for decorative lawns and particularly level areas) you
should water the lawn generously after mowing, oth-
erwise it will dry out and turn yellow.
To achieve a clean cutting pattern, guide the mower
at walking pace in a pattern as straight as possible. In
doing so, the mowing paths should always overlap by
a couple of centimetres to prevent missed spots.
Mowing on slopes and embankments
Caution, risk of injury from mowing on
slopes and embankments!
Exercise particular
caution when mowing on slopes and embank-
ments, since the mower could tilt and seriously
injure you when handled carelessly. Therefore,
always follow these safety instructions:
– Pay attention to solid position and always mow slope
in crosswise direction.
– Guide mower only at walking pace.
– A slightly upward inclined position of mower prevents
it from sliding.
– Do not mow on excessively steep slopes.
–
Risk of stumbling!
Exercise particular caution when
moving backwards and pulling the mower.

manufacturer's service centres. Spare parts should
be ordered from your authorised dealer. If not in
stock, he can get them quickly.
Malfunctions usually only occur if the mower has
been incorrectly handled, serviced and maintained.
