NOTE: Adjusting the nuts while making blade
adjustments is a very sensitive procedure. A turn of
1/16in is considered a major adjustment.
Before tightening one adjustment nut, make sure to
adjust the opposite nut an equal amount.
Do not over-tighten adjustment nut, as this could
damage cutting bar.
To check for correct adjustment insert a piece of paper between the cutting cylinder and the straight blade.
Check with a piece of paper at each end of the blade to ensure correct adjustment along the length of the
blade. When the cutting cylinder is turned by hand the paper should be cut cleanly.
If the paper is not cut then gradually tighten the nuts until the paper can be cut cleanly.
To maintain maximum run time and smooth, efficient cutting performance, an oil or spray lubricant can be
applied to the edge of the straight blade and the shaft bearings.
Over Current Protection
The Mower is equipped with a “Over current protection” device. It activates if the blade gets jammed,
clogged or the motor is overloaded because you are trying to cut grass that is much too long, or wet. The
machine will stop when this happens.
Only start the mower again after removing all obstacles or obstructions, setting the cutting height to its
highest position or waiting until the grass has dried out. After the over current safety switch has operated it
is necessary to wait approximately 3 minutes before you restart the mower. Press the circuit breaker RED
BUTTON (Fig.9 on/off switch). You can then start the mower normally.
Mowing
To obtain a clean cut, push the unit in straight lines (passes) at a deliberate walking pace.
Overlap the passes to even the cut and to avoid any uncut strips.
If you hear the motor in the unit change pitch dramatically while mowing, it may be overloaded.
Attempting to force the mower to cut may damage the motor.
Check to see if the grass is very thick or long, a first cut with height set higher will help reduce the load
on the motor (See Cutting Height Adjustment section).
Push the unit more slowly when cutting thick, long, or wet grass.
The area of cut depends on the lawn conditions, grass thickness, grass length, moisture content, and
height of cut.
For the maximum area of cut it is recommended to cut the lawn more frequently, mow in dry conditions,
select a high cutting height, and walk at normal speed.
Start mowing around the edges of the area to be mowed, then cut the central area in strips
