• For the best mulching performance, set the cutting height
to remove approximately one third of the grass length,
ideally no more than 1.5 in. at one time. If the grass is
overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut height
to make it easier to mow and to prevent overloading
the motor. Slow your cutting pace in tall or thick grass
conditions. For mulching extremely thick or tall grass, it is
advisable to first cut at a high cut-height setting, and then
re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise, make narrower
cuts and mow slowly. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE
BLADE IS SHARP.
Maintenance
m
WARNING!
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting
the reel mower, stop the machine, disconnect the safety key
and the battery. Verify that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
General
• Always keep the reel mower clean and free of grass, dirt,
or other debris.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• After each cutting session, remove accumulated grass
clippings and debris using either a dry cloth or hand
brush. You may also clean the equipment with a damp
cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or harsh solvents as
they may damage the equipment's plastic components.
Make sure that no water penetrates the equipment's
interior as intake of water can destroy the switch
mechanism and the electric motor.
• Do not clean the reel mower with running water,
particularly with high-pressure water.
• Check all nuts, bolts, and screws for proper tightness
before each use.
• Frequently inspect the grass collection bag for signs of
wear and replace immediately with a genuine Snow Joe
+ Sun Joe
part if damage is found.
®
• Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
Lubrication
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricants for the life of the
unit under normal operation conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication of the bearings is needed.

WARNING!
The steel blades are extremely sharp.
To avoid injury, do not touch the blades while making
adjustments. Misalignment of the blades can occur, which
often results from blades that are either too loose or too tight.
This can cause an uneven cut or difficulty pushing the mower.
1. Place the mower on a flat surface. Remove the handles
and the grass collection bag. Turn the mower upside
down to expose the blades and the cutting bar.
2. Insert a piece of paper between the steel blades and the
cutting bar, then slowly turn the wheel by hand (Fig. 19).

3. All the blades should slice the paper evenly along the
entire length of the cutting bar while the wheel is turned
smoothly. Repeat this testing on the other side of the
mower.
4. If the mower cuts the paper intermittently, use the hex key
wrench provided to tighten the adjustment bolt closest
to where the intermittent cut was observed. Tighten the
bolt on the appropriate end of the cutting bar by turning
it clockwise approximately 1/8th of a turn until the steel
blade contacts the cutting bar (Fig. 20).

5. If it becomes too difficult to move the wheel by hand while
adjusting the reel blades, back off the adjustment bolt
slightly by turning it counterclockwise. Test again with a
new piece of paper to verify proper cutting action.
6. Make the same adjustment at the other end of the cutting
bar.
m
WARNING!
Both adjustment bolts should have tension
on final adjustment. Do not overtighten the adjustment bolts
as this could damage the blades.
