Changing the Cutting Height
Changing the cutting height is quick, easy, and requires no tools. Simply loosen the
locking knobs on each side of the rear roller. This enables the roller assembly to slide
up or down to place the cutting bar at a different height level. Make sure the height is
the same on both sides. Re-tighten the locking knobs until the roller assembly is
secured in position.
Note:
It is essential that the height is the same on both sides of the hand lawn mower.
Adjusting the Cutting Bar to the Blades
The cutting bar should be as close to the blades as possible, when the blades are
rotated manually they should make slight contact making a whispery sound (like
scissors opening and closing), ensure the bar does not stop the blades from rotating.
To raise or lower the bar loosen or tighten the
adjustment nuts (using a 10mm spanner, or
shifter) on the ends of the cutting bar (located
behind the reel blades, above the roller
as pictured).
Note:
A small 1/16 of a turn is a
major adjustment.
To loosen the blades, or move them further
away from the cutting bar, loosen the cutting
bar adjustment nuts on each side equally by
turning them anti-clockwise.
To tighten the blades, or move them closer against the cutting bar, tighten both cutting
bar adjustment nuts equally turning them clockwise. If the mower is only cutting on
one side, the cutting bar may be out of alignment with the blade reel. Therefore,
tighten the side of the mower that is not cutting to bring it back into alignment.
If the mower is hard to push and the blades barely turn, the cutting bar may be over-
tightened against the blade reel.
If the blade reel spins freely and doesn't make contact against the cutting bar, or the
mower isn't cutting grass well, the cutting bar may be too loose against the blade reel.
