&
CAUTION: Mower blades are sharp. Keep
hands and feet clear. Be sure blades are
stopped before approaching near blades.
ADJUSTING THE ROLLER
• To adjust the roller, tilt the mower forward and loosen
both the knobs on the roller at least two full turns.
Move the rollerto the desired position. Both roller
knobs must be in the same relative position and
tightened untilfirmly seated in the notches, See
figures 5 and 6.
HOW TO USE YOUR REEL MOWER
Both the wheels and the roller are adjustable. By using
combinations of the different wheel and roller settings,
seven different cutting heights are available. The settings
are listed in figure 6.
ADJUSTING THE WHEELS
• Each wheel has a height adjustment lever with five
positions. To move the lever, tilt the mower back on
the roller. Press the levers (one at a time) outward
from the mower and move the lever to the desired
position. Both levers must be in the same relative
position.See figures 5 and 6.

USING YOUR REEL MOWER
• Make sure grass is dry before starting to mow.
• Wear substantial footwear which will provide good
traction.
• Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones and other
foreign objects from the area to be mowed. These
objects can either jam the blades or be thrown by the
mower.
• Adjust the wheels and the rollerto the desired height.
• Do not attempt to make too deep a cut in tall grass.
Reel mowers work best at a light to moderate depth
of cut.
• Mow the lawn more frequently, taking a lighter cut to
reduce pushing effort.
• Keep blades adjusted and sharpened to improve
smoothness of cut and to reduce pushing effort.
• Mow across the face of slopes instead of up and
down slopes for safer footing. Avoid mowing on
excessively steep slopes.
