3. All the blades should slice the paper evenly along the
entire length of the cutting bar while the wheel is turned
smoothly. Repeat this testing on the other side of the
mower.
4. If the mower cuts the paper intermittently, use the hex key
wrench provided to tighten the adjustment bolt closest
to where the intermittent cut was observed. Tighten the
bolt on the appropriate end of the cutting bar by turning
it clockwise approximately 1/8th of a turn until the steel
blade contacts the cutting bar (Fig. 19).
5. If it becomes too dicult to move the wheel by hand while
adjusting the reel blades, back o the adjustment bolt
slightly by turning it counterclockwise. Test again with a
new piece of paper to verify proper cutting action.
6. Make the same adjustment at the other end of the cutting
bar.
mWARNING! Both adjustment bolts should have tension
on nal adjustment. Do not overtighten the adjustment bolts
as this could damage the blades.

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.
mWARNING! Do not place your hands inside or near the
cutting area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area,
remove them using a wood or plastic cleaning tool appropriate
for blade cleaning.
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 blades properly adjusted. Refer to
the instruction manual for further directions.
• Regularly clean and lubricate cutting edges with light spray
oil.
IMPORTANT! Reel mowers have diculty cutting tall weeds,
such as dandelions, and will often bend, rather than cut, such
weeds. Cut often to prevent this.
