5. Once the mower blades have been properly adjusted and
their alignment has been verified, you can now proceed
to use your reel mower. Align the cutting path indication
arrow with the previously cut path.
NOTE: The width of the reel mower's actual cut is
indicated below. Do not use the mower's wheels as a
reference point for the grass cut line.
Mowing Tips
Follow the 1/3 Rule
The 1/3 rule is key to an enjoyable mowing experience and a
healthy lawn.
1. You should mow your lawn regularly, at least once a week,
during the growing season.
2. Be guided by observing the lawn and taking care not to
remove more than 1/3 of the total height of the turf at any
mowing session and never more than 1 inch at a time
(Fig. 8).
3. Following this rule will stimulate the turf’s root growth,
maintain its health, and encourage its natural ability to
crowd out unwanted weeds.
Tall Grass Requires Incremental Cutting
1. For extremely tall grass, set the cutting height at the
mower's maximum setting for the first pass, and then
reset it to the desired height and mow a second or third
time (Fig. 9).
2. Removing too much of the turf’s height, especially in the
heat of summer, can cause root shock and weaken the
lawn; bringing down the height by successive mowing
over two or more days can avoid this damage and
maintain the health of the turf.
3. If the lawn is overgrown (to higher than 4 inches) it may be
necessary to use a brush cutter to remove the excess turf
mass before resuming mowing at normal heights.
NOTE: Do not cover the grass surface with a heavy layer
of clippings. Consider using a grass collection system and
starting a compost pile.
Transporting the Mower
During normal operation, the blade reel will turn anytime the
mower's front wheels are turning. To safely move the mower
from one location to another without the blade reel turning,
simply pivot the handle over the reel and push the mower from
the opposite side. Pushing the mower in this manner (transport
mode) prohibits the blade reel from turning (Fig. 10).
