2. After attaching the mulching accessory, check its stability.
3. Use only original mulching accessories when mulching.
4. Try not to mow tall grass all at once, this will prevent overloading the lawnmower mechanism and the engine.
When mowing grass that has grown too tall, we recommend that you reduce the speed of travel.
MOWING WITH SIDE DISCHARGE (fi gure 1 – point 10)
To attach the side discharge fl ap, lift up the side chassis cover on the lawnmower (fi gure 1 - point 12). Secure the
fl ap (fi gure 1 – point 10) in place using hooks which fall under the shaft of the cover. When mowing with side
discharge, it is necessary to place the mulching plug into the discharge chute.
INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING
Check that all nuts and bolts are fi rmly tightened, paying special attention to fast moving parts such as the blade.
Use only original parts and install them correctly.
Set the handle position.
Attach the grass catcher. Check that it is sitting fi rmly in position.
Set the desired mowing height.
