Operating Instructions

Before Mowing

• Inspect the lawn for any obstacles.
• Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tight.
• Adjust the handle height for comfortable operation.

Adjusting Cutting Height

The mower offers 6 cutting height positions, ranging from 15 mm to 42 mm. Adjust the height according to your lawn type and desired finish.

Mowing Your Lawn

• Push the mower at a steady, comfortable pace. Overlapping each pass slightly will ensure an even cut.
• The helical blades provide a clean, scissor-like cut, promoting a healthier, denser lawn.
• The 40 cm cutting width allows for efficient mowing of small to medium-sized lawns.
• When the grass collector is full, empty it into a compost bin or suitable receptacle.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures your lawn mower remains in optimal condition.

Cleaning

• After each use, remove grass clippings from the blades, wheels, and grass collector.
• Use a stiff brush or cloth to clean the mower. Avoid using water jets directly on the blades or moving parts.
• Ensure the blades are free of sap and debris to maintain sharpness.

Blade Care

• The helical blades are factory-sharpened. If the cutting performance decreases, the blades may need sharpening. This should be done by a qualified service technician.
• Periodically check the blade alignment and adjust if necessary, following the instructions in a service manual or by a professional.

Storage

• Clean the mower thoroughly before storing.
• Apply a light coat of oil to the blades to prevent rust, especially during long periods of storage.
