The 50 L grass collector with an integrated level indicator reduces interruptions for emptying, while the folding guide rail and top handle simplify transport and storage.

How to use

Set the desired cutting height using the six-step central adjustment (20–65 mm) and install the grass collector. Start the mower with the 2-point safety switch held as required, and proceed to push the mower across the lawn at a steady pace, allowing the 1,700 W motor to cut through higher patches when necessary. Empty the 50 L collector when the level indicator shows fullness and fold the guide rail for transport or storage when finished.

Recommendations

For best results mow regularly and avoid cutting more than one third of the grass blade height at a time. Use the higher cutting positions for very tall grass and the lower settings for regular maintenance. Always disconnect the mower from the power supply before cleaning, blade inspection or any maintenance.
