WARNING!
- Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects which could damage mower or user.
The operation of mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
damage your eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower.
1. Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underbody of the product, preventing the
proper discharge of grass clippings, and it could also cause you to slip and fall.
2. Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass for a healthy lawn. In the
autumn, lawns should only be cut as long as there is growth.
3. Slowly push the product forward.

Blade clearance adjustment
WARNING!
- Mower blade are sharp and can cut. Wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.
Any wheel rotation can cause the blade reel to rotate.
- Do not over-tighten adjustment screw as this could damage cutter bar. Both screws must be tight
on final adjustment.
The blade reel is adjusted for proper clearance from the cutting bar at the factory. However, after
extended periods of mowing or as part of annual maintenance, it is recommended that the blade
clearance be readjusted .
• If blade clearance is too wide, the cutting pattern will be
rough and uneven.
• If blade clearance is too narrow, the machine will be noisy
and difficult to push while operating.
To adjust blade clearance, proceed as follows:
1. Turn mower upside down.
2. Insert a piece of paper(thickness around 0.12mm) between cutter bar and reel blades, and
slowly turn wheel by hand.
3. All blades should slice the paper evenly, along the entire length of the cutter bar while the reel
turns smoothly.
4. If mower has an intermittent cut, adjustment should be made to the appropriate side of blades
to attain proper cutting action. We've taking sharpening the cutting blade out due to health and
safety issues.

4. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight lines
along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is cut
without missing any spots.
5. Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed in the middle of the lawn, cut a row or
two around the circumference of the bed.
6. Pay special attention when changing direction.
PAPER
IMPORTANT!
- Cylinder mowers have a difficult time with tall weeds such as dandelions which most times will
cause the weeds to bend and not cut – cut often to prevent this.
Cylinder mowers are relatively low maintenance. For consistent cutting follow the below
instructions:
- Always keep the cutting bar properly adjusted. Refer to the instruction manual for further
directions.
- Regularly clean and lubricate the cutting edges with light spray oil.
- Keep area to be mowed free from debris to avoid damage of the cutting blades.
- For best results, regularly apply lubricant to mower’s cutting surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft and
wheels.
- Turn the Cylinder blades until the front edge of the cutter bar blade is polished.
