•
Clean the machine with a brush or rag after
each use.
•
Store the machine in a location that is dry and
not accessible by children.
•
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e.
screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened
so that the machine can be safely operated at
all times.
•
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
immediately.
•
In order to ensure that you enjoy your scarifier
for many years to come, all screwed parts, as
well as the wheels and axles, should be cleaned
and lubricated.
•
Keeping your push mower in good condition
not only ensures a long lifespan and high
performance, but also enables the machine to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.
•
The blade on the mower spindle is subject to
more wear and tear than any other component
of the unit. Check the condition of the blade
on the mowing spindle at regular intervals and
make sure that it is tightly fastened.

Walk at a Good, Steady Pace.
With a push mower, the rotation of the wheels turn
the blade reel. The mower will tend to bind up and
skid if it is moving at too slow a pace. The faster the
wheels are travelling, the faster the blade reel turns.
Therefore, moving at a comfortably quick
walking pace will achieve the best results.
Overlapping Rows.
When mowing a lawn, slightly overlap the row that
has already been mowed. This will make the force
required to move the mower easier because less
grass is being mowed at one time. Overlapping rows
will also ensure a neat cut by removing grass that
may have been missed on the previous row.
Don’t let the Grass get too Tall
Push mowers are harder to push when the grass gets
too tall, therefore it is recommended to mow on a
weekly basis.
Push Mowers don’t Mow Tall Weeds.
The push mower will tend to roll over tall weeds
without cutting them. This includes tall weeds that
are more than six inches, and things like dandelions
and docs.
If the desired lawn to be mowed has a significant
weed infestation, enquire at your local hardware
store how to rectify the problem, or as an
alternative, rent a petrol powered mower to gain
control of the lawn. Push mowers are designed to
cut lawns in reasonable condition.
The Metal Guard protects your Garden
The metal guard does not only protect your hands
and feet, but also the garden. The push mower can
be pushed right up to flowers and shrubs without
damaging them. This feature means the push mower
can cut the edges of the lawn where garden plants
exist minimising any potential damage.
How to mow

Operation
9
The push mower can cut grass up to approx. 10 cm in
length. If you want your lawn to have a neat,
trimmed look to it, however, you must consistently
keep it cut down to a more manageable height.
When starting the mowing session (and when
mowing over freshly laid sod), it is advisable to set
the cutting height relatively high, then gradually
work your way down. For a well-groomed look, the
cutting height should be set to approx. 2.5 cm.
For optimum results, mow your lawn on a weekly
basis. Grass blades grow thicker, faster, and are
more resilient when their stems are consistently kept
short (unless you live in very dry conditions and do
not frequently water). Always mow the lawn when
it is reasonable dry. In order to ensure that your lawn
has a clean, even look to it when you’re finished,
mow in fairly straight paths at walking pace. The
cutting swaths should always overlap each other by
a few centimeters in order to avoid unsightly strips
of grass.
