Adjusting the cutting height

- Tighten the wing nut.

Operating the hand push mower
i. Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underbody of the product, preventing the proper discharge of grass clippings, and it could also cause you to slip and fall.
ii. Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass for a healthy lawn. In the autumn, lawns should only be cut as long as there is growth.
iii. Slowly push the product forward.
iv. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight lines along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is cut without missing any spots.
v. Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed in the middle of the lawn, cut a row or two around the circumference of the bed.
vi. Pay special attention when changing direction.

Maintenance and Repair
WARNING!
Cylinder 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.
Cylinder 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 the cutting edges with light spray oil.
- Keep area to be mowed free from debris to avoid damage of the cutting blades.
- For best results, regularly apply lubricant to mower’s cutting surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft and wheels.
- Turn the Cylinder blades until the front edge of the cutter bar blade is polished.
Blade clearance adjustment
WARNING!
- Mower blade are sharp and can cut. Wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them. Any wheel rotation can cause the blade reel to rotate.
- Do not over-tighten adjustment screw as this could damage cutter bar. Both screws must be tight on final adjustment.
The blade reel is adjusted for proper clearance from the cutting bar at the factory. However, after extended periods of mowing or as part of annual maintenance, it is recommended that the blade clearance be readjusted .
• If blade clearance is too wide, the cutting pattern will be rough and uneven.
• If blade clearance is too narrow, the machine will be noisy and difficult to push while operating.
To adjust blade clearance, proceed as follows:
i. Turn mower upside down.
ii. Insert a piece of paper(thickness around 0.12mm)
between cutter bar and reel blades, and slowly turn wheel by hand.
iii. All blades should slice the paper evenly, along the entire
length of the cutter bar while the reel turns smoothly.
iv. If mower has an intermittent cut, adjustment should be
made to the appropriate side of blades to attain proper cutting action. We’ve taking sharpening the cutting blade out due to health and safety issues.
v. Tighten the screws on both side of the fixed blade,
ensure that the blade can cut the paper easily.

Storage and transportation
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.
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.
3. Store the mower in a dry place. Do not place other objects on top of the mower during storage.
Recycling and disposal
1. Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and packaging should be sorted, taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an environmentally safe way.
2. Recycle rather than dispose of unwanted material in landfill whenever possible. The machine must be delivered in rigid packaging to avoid damage during transportation. The packaging and the machine itself are manufactured from recyclable materials and should be disposed of accordingly.
3. Do not throw your clippings into a rubbish bin where it will be disposed of in landfill .You can dispose of clippings on your compost heap, alternating then with other garden material. The more thoroughly you chop the clippings beforehand, the more rapidly they will degrade. Alternatively, many communities provide a public collection point where you
can dispose of your garden waste in an environmentally friendly manner.
4. Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery iterms in separate collection schemes, which cater for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your cooperation is vital to ensure the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.
5. Recycle packaging where facilities exist.
