The deflector plate is held to the mower housing by spring force. This causes the mowed grass to be thrown backward and downward.

Mulching with the mulch kit (optional)

When mulching, the grass cuttings are not collected, but are left on the lawn. The grass mulch prevents the soil from drying out, and supplies it with nutrients.

The best results are obtained by cutting back regularly by about 2 cm. Only young grass with a soft leaf texture decomposes quickly.

■ Grass height before mulching: 8 cm maximum
■ Grass height after mulching: 4 cm minimum

Blades that have not been rebalanced can cause serious vibrations, and may result in damage to the lawnmower.

Charging the starter battery (optional)

The starter battery is maintenance-free and is normally charged by the lawnmower.

In certain cases, however, the battery will need to be charged by the user:

■ Before the initial start-up of the lawnmower
If discharged, before the winter season, or if left unused for long periods (> 6 months)

Charging procedure:

  1. Take the battery charger out of the battery box.
  2. Disconnect the battery cable from the motor cable (☐ 28).
  3. Connect the battery cable with the charger cable (29).
  4. Connect the charger to the mains supply. The mains voltage must match the operating voltage of the charger.

The required charging time is about 36 hours.

Use only the original battery charger supplied.
