CARE OF THE LAWN AND MOWING

The modern gardening technology has designed and developed labour-saving devices (mower with grass collection bag). For a good, healthy green lawn, it is essential to mow and aerate it regularly.

Fertilising is also essential.

Always make sure the blades are sharp and in perfect conditions to avoid grass fraying and yellowing of the lawn.

You will achieve a clean cut with regular and straight windows.

The mowing tracks should always overlap a few centimetres to avoid any uncut strips in between.

Lawn cutting frequency depends on the rate of growth. In the main growing season (May-June) often (twice a week) or at least once a week. The cutting height should be between 4-6 cm. and the growth before the next cut should not be more than 4-5 cm.

During hot and dry periods, the lawn should be cut 1,5cm . higher than normal, to avoid ground and root drying out.

If the grass is somewhat higher than normal, you should not make the mistake of cutting it immediately; you can damage the lawn. Do no cut to more than half the necessary height.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (starts at page 87)

Before mowing, remove all foreign objects from the lawn which may be thrown by the machine. While mowing, stay alert for any foreign objects which may have been missed.

(starts at page 87)

Never place your hands or feet underneath the deck or into the rear discharge chute while the engine is running.
