Features

Standard features

  • Zoom
    Central cutting height adjustment

    The cutting height can be adjusted to one of 7 levels via a lever. The desired cutting height can be precisely adjusted with the aid of a sprung-loaded mechanism via the handle on the left-hand side of the housing.

  • Zoom
    Height-adjustable handlebar

    The handlebar height can be adjusted simply and quickly and fixed in 3 different positions according to the user's height.

  • Zoom
    Foldable handlebar

    Thanks to the foldable handlebar, VIKING lawn mowers are easy to transport and convenient to store.

  • Zoom
    Stable frame construction

    The handlebar is attached to the lightweight, high-strength polymer housing via a sturdy steel frame. This allows easy and convenient manoeuvring of the mower, even in confined spaces and around obstacles.

  • Zoom
    Innovative grass catcher box

    The catcher box can be 100% filled, thanks to the optimised design shape and air guide. The air vents face downwards so that grass and dust do not escape upwards. The two-part catcher box design ensures easy opening and emptying.

  • Zoom
    Polymer deck

    The housing of VIKING lawn mowers is made of high impact, heat and UV resistant polymer.

  • Zoom
    Multi-blade

    The multi-blade cuts the grass gradually and then chops it into fine pieces in the housing. When used with a grass collector box, the finely cut grass is directed by the multi-blade straight into the box to ensure it is filled to capacity. When used with the mulch insert, the grass is chopped up into fine particles which are returned to the grass.

  • Zoom
    ReadyStart

    ReadyStart reduces the effort required for starting: just one easy pull on the starter cord and the engine starts. Using an automatic choke requiring no priming, means that reliable starting is ensured at all temperatures.

  • Zoom
    Vario-drive

    Vario-drive makes mowing the lawn easier especially where you have larger areas or gentle gradients. Adjust the lever and the mower starts moving at the required speed.

  • Zoom
    Mulching function

    VIKING mulching kits include a mulch insert and multi-blade. With the rear opening closed using a mulch insert, the grass is chopped up into fine particles, returning nutrients and moisture to the lawn.

  • Zoom
    Easy-running wheels

    Large wheels with high quality ball bearings for easy running. The tread pattern provides better traction and allows for easy cleaning.

  • Zoom
    Integral level indicator

    The integral level indicator shows when the catcher box is full and ready for emptying

  • Zoom
    Replaceable side bumper strips

    The bumper strips offer additional protection when mowing next to walls and edges. If they are marked or damaged, they can be easily exchanged and replaced.

  • Zoom
    Carrying handle

    The integrated front handle allows easier transportation of the machine. At the same time the handle serves as an impact protection bumper and protects the housing from coming into contact with other obstacles.

Additional features

  • Zoom
    High-lift blades

    The high-lift blades combined with the aerodynamic housing produce a strong air current that lifts the grass before cutting and blows the cut grass into the grass catcher box.
