Care and Maintenance 

1.  

Minimum care is required to ensure smooth operation 
of your mower.

2.  

To avoid damage to mower or cutting blades, keep 
area to be mowed free from debris.

3.  

For best results, regularly apply lubricant to 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 cutter bar so that the blade has light but firm 
contact across the full width of the cutter bar. 

CAUTION:

 Do not overtighten the adjusting screws, as this 

could damage the cutter bar. Tighten both screws during final 
adjustment.

3.  

Turn the reel blades until the front edge of the cutter 
bar blade is polished.

WARNING:

 Clean any grinding compound or debris from the 

cutter bar blade, reel blade, pinions and pawls.

NOTE: 

Use industrial or valve lapping compound between 100 

and 240 grit. 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.

WARNING: 

Do not place hands in the mower near blades. If 

grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove using 
a wood or plastic cleaning tool appropriate for the cleaning of 
the blades.

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 lube cutting edges with light spray oil.

IMPORTANT:

 Reel 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.
