Notes on mowing
NOTE
To ensure a perfect, thick
lawn, mow regularly and keep
the grass short.
Do not cut too short in hot,
dry conditions as the lawn will
dry out or burn in the sun and
become unsightly.
The cutting pattern will be
better with a sharp blade than
with a blunt one. The blade
must therefore be sharpened
regularly (VIKING dealer).
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Untangle any knots in the
cord immediately.
If using a cable drum, the
connection cord must be
unwound completely,
otherwise electrical
resistance may cause loss
of power and overheating.
Guide the connection cord
behind you when mowing.
Connection cords can be
inadvertently cut when
mowing and therefore
involve a high accident risk.
For this reason, mow so
that the connection cord is
always visible in the area of
grass that has already been
cut.
This can be read off the
H=
cutting height indicator.
Release the
I=
adjustment lever again
and allow the height
adjustment to engage.

seven
cutting height
adjustment settings ranging
from
25 mm
to
80 mm
