WARNING!
The steel blades are extremely sharp.
To avoid injury, do not touch the blades while making
adjustments.
NOTE: Although the blades are pre-adjusted prior to leaving
the factory, it is recommended that the adjustment be verified
prior to first use.
NOTE: Vibrations during shipping can cause blade
misalignment, which often causes the blades to become too
loose or too tight. This will result in a rough, uneven cut, or
make the mower difficult to push (Fig. 7).
1. To verify proper blade alignment, place the mower on a
flat surface. Remove the handles and the
grass catcher.
Turn the mower reel upside down to expose the
cutting bar.
2. Using one of the twenty (20) pieces of paper provided,
insert one of these pieces of paper between the cutting
bar and the reel blades, then slowly turn the wheel by
hand (Fig. 8).
3. All the blades should slice the paper evenly along the
entire length of the cutting bar while the reel is turned
smoothly.
4. If the mower cuts the paper intermittently, adjustment
should be made to the appropriate side of the blades to
achieve optimal cutting performance.
