blade while it is still rotating. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury.
Mowing Tips
WARNING!
Inspect the area prior to mowing and remove all the stones, sticks, wires and
other foreign objects that could be picked up and thrown by the rotating blade. Failure to
comply not only will damage the mower blade, but can also lead to serious personal injury.
• Be sure to check the blades periodically for signs of wear and replace them at least once
per year, as described in the maintenance section.
NOTE:
Sharp blades will greatly enhance the performance of the reel mower, especially
when cutting tall grass.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce your walking speed in order to allow for a more
effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn, always cut
off one-third or less from the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be
approximately 3.8 cm to 5 cm in long during cool months, and more than 5 cm long
during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
• The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same height and in alternate directions.
• When crossing any gravelled surfaces, release the On/ Off switch lever to turn off the
mower. The stones can be picked up and thrown by the rotating blade.
• Set the mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall
weeds.
WARNING!
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the battery. Thoroughly
inspect the mower and repair any damage before resuming work.
• Switch off the motor before emptying the grass collection bag. Always ensure that a safe
distance (provided by the length of the long handles) is maintained between the user
and the mower housing. Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on
slopes and inclines.
OPERATION
26
OPERATION
• Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always
mow across an incline (not up and down).
• Use special caution when backing up and pulling the reel mower towards you as such
maneuvering of the machine poses a tripping hazard.
• For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass; it tends to stick to the underside of the
deck, preventing the proper mulching of grass clippings. The best time to mow grass is
in the late afternoon, when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to
direct sunlight.
• For the best mulching performance, set the cutting height to remove approximately
one third of the grass length, ideally no more than 4 cm in. at one time. If the grass is
overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut height to make it easier to mow and
to prevent overloading the motor. Slow your cutting pace in tall or thick grass conditions.
For mulching extremely thick or tall grass, it is advisable to first cut at a high cut-height
setting, and then re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow
slowly. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS SHARP.
27
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
WARNING!
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the reel mower, stop the machine,
disconnect the safety key and the battery. Verify that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
General
• Always keep the reel mower clean and free of grass, dirt, or other debris.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• After each cutting session, remove accumulated grass clippings and debris using either
a dry cloth or hand brush. You may also clean the equipment with a damp cloth. Do
not use cleaning agents or harsh solvents as they may damage the equipment's plastic
components. Make sure that no water penetrates the equipment's interior as intake of
water can destroy the switch mechanism and the electric motor.
• Do not clean the reel mower with running water, particularly with high-pressure water.
• Check all nuts, bolts, and screws for proper tightness before each use.
• Frequently inspect the grass collection bag for signs of wear and replace immediately
with a genuine Yard force part if damage is found.
• Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
Lubrication
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade
lubricants for the life of the unit under normal operation conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication of the bearings is needed.
Ensuring a clean cut
WARNING!
The steel blades are extremely sharp.
To avoid injury, do not touch the blades while making adjustments. Misalignment of the
blades can occur, which often results from blades that are either too loose or too tight. This
can cause an uneven cut or difficulty pushing the mower.
1. Place the mower on a flat surface. Remove the handles and the grass collection bag.
Turn the mower upside down to expose the blades and the cutting bar.
2. Insert a piece of paper between the steel blades and the cutting bar, then slowly turn the
wheel by hand
.
(Fig. Q)
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. R)
5. If it becomes too difficult to move the wheel by hand while adjusting the reel blades,
back off 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.
WARNING!
Both adjustment bolts should have tension on final adjustment. Do not
overtighten the adjustment bolts as this could damage the blades.
28
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
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 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 difficulty cutting tall weeds, such as dandelions, and will
often bend, rather than cut, such weeds. Cut often to prevent this.
