GRASS COLLECTION SYSTEM

The lawn mower is equipped with a large 70 L canvas grass collector, easy to remove and empty. The net flexibility allows easy emptying the grass collector when full.

Comfortable handle on the upper side of the grass collector in order to facilitate the collector removal.

REAR DISCHARGE SYSTEM
This system allows mowing grass without using the grass collector, discharging the grass clippings directly from the back of the lawn mower.

Simply remove the grass collector, leaving the rear discharge opened.

MULCHING CUTTING SYSTEM:

This system allows cutting grass without catching it inside the collector, and crushing the clippings into a fine powder before dropping them on the lawn.

How to convert the lawn mower for the mulching cutting system:

• Open the grass collector
• Enter the mulching plug supplied
• Lower the rear deflector to operate the mulching cutting system.

MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF THE MULCHING CUTTING SYSTEM:
This grass mowing system allows crushing grass clippings and dropping them on the ground. The resulting grass particles are so small, they will be barely noticeable on the lawn. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing any effort and shortening the time-saving). Moreover, grass clippings will break down into nutrients and water for the lawn (grass is 80% water) and will thus ensure a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, to ensure the greatest mulching results, the lawn should be irrigated and the grass needs cutting at least once a week.

SIDE DISCHARGE SYSTEM:

This system allows mowing grass without collecting the clippings inside the grass collector (it is also possible to collect grass a bit higher than normal, due to the high disposal capacity of the side discharge deflector).

Leaving the mulching plug entered, in order not to occlude the rear discharge of the grass, simply lift the black cover on the housing side and enter the side deflector supplied with a simple gesture.

Easy and user-friendly controls placed on the handlebar.

Blade engagement black upper lever.

Lower pink traction and feed activation lever.

The handlebar is height adjustable and foldable for storage.

Centralised cutting height adjustment: by means of a single lever on the rear wheels, the cutting height can be adjusted in 7 different positions, from a minimum of 25 mm to a maximum of 75 mm
