• 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.
