Care + Maintenance 

1.  Minimum care is required to ensure smooth operation of 

your mower.

2.  To avoid damage to the mower or cutting blades, keep the 

area to be mowed free from debris.

3.  For best results, regularly apply lubricant to the mower’s 

cutting surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft, and wheels.

Sharpening the Cutting Blades

1.  Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on the front edge 

of the reel blades.

2. 

Adjust the cutting bar so that the blade has light but firm 

contact across the full width of the bar. 

m

CAUTION!

 Do not overtighten the adjusting screws, as 

this could damage the cutting bar. Tighten both screws during 

final adjustment.

3.  Turn the reel blades until the front edge of the cutting bar 

blade is polished.

m

WARNING!

 Clean any grinding compound or debris 

from the cutting bar blade, reel blade, pinions, and pawls.
NOTE: Use industrial or valve lapping compound between 100 

and 240 grit.
NOTE: 

Lubricate the axle and pinion with a light film of wheel 

bearing grease.

Cleaning and Storage

1.  Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft 

brush and cloth before storing. Do not use water, solvents, 

or polishes.

2.  Turn the mower on its side to clean the blade area.

m

WARNING!

 Do not place your hands inside or near the 

cutting area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, 

remove them using a wood or plastic cleaning tool appropriate 

for blade cleaning.

3.  Store the mower in a dry place. Do not place other objects 

on top of the mower during storage.

Maintenance Tips

Reel 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 cutting edges with light 

 

spray oil.

IMPORTANT!

 Reel mowers have difficulty cutting tall weeds, 

such as dandelions, and will often bend, rather than cut, such 

weeds. Cut often to prevent this.
