NOTE: 

Lubricate the axle and pinion with a light film of wheel 

bearing grease.

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.

m

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 bar 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.
