4.1 General information
During mulching, the cut grass is chopped
up several times through a special air flow
guidance system in the mower blade area
and then blown back into the turf. The
clippings remain on the lawn.
The decomposing clippings return organic
nutrients to the soil, serving as a natural
fertiliser.
Emptying the grass catcher box and
disposal of the clippings are dispensed
with. Weed growth is slowed down and
significant amounts of fertilizer are saved.
4.2 How should mulching be
performed?
Frequency:
At least twice a week in the spring (main
period of growth) and at least once a
week in the summer and autumn.
Cutting height:
Remove approximately one third of the
grass height, only use cutting heights 3
to 6.
Mulch the lawn when dry.
Work with well-sharpened blades.
Vary the mowing direction and ensure
that the mowing strips overlap.
Always cut very high grass in stages.
5.1 Blade maintenance
Instructions on blade
maintenance can be found in the
instruction manual for the lawn mower
and also apply for the multi-blade.
Installation of the multi-blade is
described in the "Assembly" section
(Ö 3.1).
Before each use, place the machine in
the cleaning position, clean the multi-
blade and check it for damage
(notches, cracks) and wear; replace if
necessary.
Use a slide calliper to check the blade
thickness (> 2 mm) of the lower and
upper blades (1) at several points.
Use a ruler (2) to check the blade width
(> 40 mm) of the lower and upper
blades.
