Lift detent catch (4) and pull mulch
insert (1) diagonally upwards out of the
discharge chute.
Close the discharge flap (rear
discharge mower) or attach the grass
catcher box and close the ejection flap
(grass collector).
10.4 How should mulching be
performed?
A cutting height between 4 and 7 should
be selected for mulching, as this is the
most suitable height for shredding the
grass.
If the cutting height is too low, the mower
housing may become clogged, resulting in
blockage of the mowing blade.
It is important to select the correct
operating speed and cutting height for
mulching to allow the multi-blade to
achieve optimal grass shredding and a
good cutting pattern.
In high grass, it is advisable to work in
several stages and in the higher cutting
height settings.
Mulching should not be performed when
the grass is too high or wet.
