Working Instructions
General Working Instructions
• As far as possible, mow the lawn when
it is dry in order to protect the turf.
• Set the cutting height such that the
equipment is not overloaded.
• Run the equipment at walking speed
in lines that are as straight as pos-
sible. For uninterrupted mowing, the
lines should always overlap by a few
centimetres.
• Do not move backwards.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope.
• If the blade comes into contact with
a foreign body, switch off the engine
immediately. Wait until the blade is
stationary and check the equipment
for damage. Restart work only if the
equipment is undamaged.
• Switch off the equipment during long-
er breaks and for transportation and
wait until the blade is stationary.
• Clean the equipment after each use,
as described in the “cleaning and
maintenance“ chapter.
