OPERATION
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 9.
The cutting height of the mower adjusts from 3/4 ­2 1/2 (1.9 - 6.3 cm) with 9 positions for adjustment height by moving the height adjustment levers to the required position.
To achieve the lowest cutting position, one at a time, move the adjustment levers on both sides, located next to the rear wheels, up to the highest position.
To achieve the highest cutting position, move the adjustment levers on both sides to their lowest position.
Other cutting heights are achieved by moving the adjustment levers to any stop between the highest and lowest positions.
NOTE:
The two adjustment levers MUST be set to the
same position (height).
For best performance, align the edge of the cutting blades to overlap the previously cut path. This will ensure no grass is missed during the process.
NOTE:
Do not use wheels as a reference point for
grass cut line.
MOWER BLADE ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 10.
CHECKING THE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 11.
Turn mower upside down.
Insert a piece of paper between cutting bar and one
of the reel blades, and slowly turn wheel by hand.
Each blade should cut across the paper in a continuous line. If there are missed spots in the cut, it is necessary to make further adjustments. See Mower Blade Adjustments.
NOTE:
Blades are factory adjusted.
Misalignment can occur, often caused by blades being too loose or too tight. This can cause an uneven cut or diffi culty pushing the mower.
Each end of the cutting bar is adjusted separately.
To move the cutting bar closer to the blades turn
the adjustment screw clockwise. To move the cutting bar away from the blades turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise.
When the space equals the thickness of paper (0.12mm), insert a piece of paper between one of the blades and the cutting bar, and slowly turn the wheel by hand.
The blade should cut the paper evenly at every point. If not, it is necessary to readjust the cutting action.
WARNING!
Blades are extremely sharp.
To avoid injury, do not touch blades when making adjustments.
CAUTION!
Adjusting the screws for blade
adjustments is a very sensitive procedure. A sixteenth of a turn is considered a major adjustment. Βefore tightening one adjustment screw, make sure to loosen the opposite screw an equal amount.
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten adjustment
screws, as this could damage cutting bar. Both screws must be tight on fi nal adjustment.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Minimum care is required to ensure smooth operation of your mower.
To avoid damage to mower or cutting blades, keep area to be mowed free from debris.
For best results, regularly apply lubricant to mower’s cutting surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft and wheels.
SHARPENING THE CUTTING BLADES
Spread a thin layer of lapping compound, available at most hardware stores, onto the front edge of the reel blades.
Adjust the cutting bar so that the blade has light but rm contact across the full width of the cutting bar.
Turn the reel blades until the front edge of the cutting bar blade is polished.
NOTE:
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. Lubricate the axle and pinion with a light fi lm of wheel bearing grease.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth before storing. Do not use water, solvents or polishes.
Turn the mower on its side to clean the blade area.
Store the mower in a dry place. Do not place other
objects on top of the mower during storage.
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.
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the adjusting
screws, as this could damage the cutting bar. Tighten both screws during fi nal adjustment.
