Tips on lawn care
Here are some tips to help you keep
your lawn looking healthy and
ensure uniform growth.
Mowing
Lawns consist of various grass
types. Frequent mowing promotes
the growth of grass, resulting in
strong roots and a firm sward. If you
seldom cut the grass, you will
enhance the development of highgrowing types of grass and other
weeds, such as clover, daisies).
The normal height of a lawn is
approx. 4–5 cm. Only
height should be mown; therefore
cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal
height.
1
/3 of the total
Try not to cut the grass shorter than
4 cm, otherwise the lawn will suffer
during dry periods. If the grass has
grown particularly high (for example,
during a holiday period), cut it back
to its normal height in several
stages.
Mulching
(using the accessories)
The grass is cut into small pieces
(approx. 1 cm) and left to lie on the
lawn. The lawn therefore retains a lot
of nutrients.
For the best possible result the
grass must always be kept short,
see also section ”Mowing”.
Observe the following when
mulching:
– Do not mow wet grass.
– Never mow more than 2 cm.
– Mow slowly.
– Use the maximum engine speed.
– Clean the cutters regularly.

engine as described in the engine
manual.
