Operating Instructions

For best results and a healthy lawn, operate your push reel mower regularly.

1. Adjusting Cutting Height

The LawnMaster LMRM1801 offers 9 cutting positions, allowing you to effortlessly change the height of your cut between 3/4-inches and 2-inches. Adjust the cutting height to suit your lawn type and desired grass length. Taller grass may require a higher setting for the initial pass.

2. Mowing Technique

Push the mower forward at a steady, comfortable pace. The 18-inch deck and 10-inch front wheels provide maximum maneuverability, making it easy to navigate around your lawn. Overlap each pass slightly to ensure an even cut. For very tall or dense grass, it may be beneficial to make two passes, raising the cutting height for the first pass and then lowering it for the second.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your LawnMaster LMRM1801.

1. Blade Care

The mower features durable steel blades built to last. Regularly inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Sharp blades ensure a clean cut and reduce strain on the mower and yourself. If blades become dull, they may require sharpening by a professional or using a reel mower sharpening kit.

2. Cleaning

After each use, clean grass clippings and debris from the cutting deck and blades. Use a stiff brush or cloth. Avoid using water directly on the blades or moving parts to prevent rust. Ensure the mower is dry before storing.

3. Storage

Store the mower in a dry, protected area. Its motorless design and compact size make storage convenient.

Troubleshooting

• Mower is difficult to push:
  • Check if the grass is too long. Raise the cutting height for the first pass.
  • Inspect blades for debris or dullness. Clean or sharpen as needed.
  • Ensure wheels are free of obstructions.
• Uneven cut:
  • Verify that the cutting height is set evenly on both sides.
  • Check for dull or damaged blades.
• Grass not collecting in bag:
  • Ensure the collection bag is properly attached and not full.
  • Check for blockages in the grass chute.
