3.  To adjust the reel to the highest cutting position, place 

the adjustment knobs through the top hole (position A) 

located on the side of the reel mower frame (Fig. 12). 

4.  To adjust the reel to the lowest cutting position, place the 

adjustment knobs through the bottom hole (position B) 

located on the side of the frame (Fig. 12). 

5.  Other cutting heights are achieved by moving the 

adjustment knobs to the settings between the highest and 

lowest positions.

6.  Align the cutting path indication arrow with the previously 

cut path (Fig. 13). 

  NOTE: The width of the reel mower's actual cut is

reference point for the grass cut line.

Ensuring a clean cut

m

WARNING!

 The steel blades are extremely sharp. 

To avoid injury, do not touch the blades while making 

adjustments. Misalignment of the blades can occur, which 

often results from blades that are either too loose or too tight. 

This can cause an uneven cut or difficulty pushing the mower 

(Fig. 14).

1. 

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. 15).

3.  All the blades should slice the paper evenly along the 

entire length of the cutting bar while the reel is turned 

smoothly.
