Your lawn mower offers versatile mowing options:

• Mowing with Collection: Attach the grass catcher. This collects clippings for disposal.
• Mulching: Remove the grass catcher and insert the mulching plug (if included). This finely chops grass clippings and returns them to the lawn as natural fertilizer.
• Sideudflåd: Attach the side discharge chute. This expels clippings to the side, useful for very tall grass or areas where collection is not needed.
• Bagudkast: Without the grass catcher or mulching plug, clippings are discharged directly behind the mower.
