Mowing Tips.
1. Worn or damaged blades will reduce lawn finish and will not cut properly. Check and inspect
them regularly.
2. To maintain cutting performance, keep the mower clean and the area to be mowed free from
any debris.
3. Cut the grass regularly to avoid it becoming too long and making it difficult to push.
4. The cutting pattern should be varied from week to week (eg. North-South to East-West).
5. As a general rule, only cut the top one third of the grass length (approximately). More than this
may leave an untidy appearance and finish.
6. Walk at a good, steady pace. Avoid walk at a slow, unsteady pace as the reel mower tends to
bind up and skid.
Adjusting the Cutting Height.

MAINTENANCE
Checking/Adjusting the Blade:
Maintaining the mower
• If the mower begins to operate abnormally or if it strikes a foreign object - STOP mowing.
Inspect the mower and blades for any damage.
• Regularly inspect and check for any worn or damaged components. Replace if required.
• Regularly check all accessible fasteners. Retighten or replace if required.
• The cutting mechanism on your lawnmower is already preset to the factory setting.
• The blades should be adjusted if the grass is not cut cleanly and evenly or if the mower is difficult
to push. Always check the cutting performance before use and adjust if needed.
