During normal operation, the blade reel will turn anytime the 

mower’s front wheels are turning. To safely move the mower 

from one location to another without the blade reel turning, 

simply pivot the handle over the reel and push the mower 

from the opposite side.  See Fig. 4-1. Pushing the mower in this 

manner (transport mode) prohibits the blade reel from turning.

Please observe the following when operating your reel mower.

Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects 

• 

which could damage lawn mower or engine.

The operation of any lawn mower can 

result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, 

which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear 

safety glasses while operating the mower, or while 

performing any adjustments or repairs on it.

Mow the lawn when the grass is relatively dry. Attempting 

• 

to mow wet grass can result in an uneven cut.
Maintain a consistent walking pace while pushing the 

• 

mower in straight passes.
Slightly overlap each pass to even the cut and avoid leaving 

• 

uncut strips.
Mow the lawn regularly, at 

• 

least once a week during the 

growing season. Mow more frequently than you would 

with a conventional rotary lawn mower.
Always mow with the blade height adjusted to cut no more 

• 

than 1/3 the total height of grass.
If the height of your lawn’s grass exceeds four inches, 

• 

adjust the blade height to its highest position before 

mowing. After mowing, readjust the blade to your 

preferred cutting height and mow the lawn a second time 

within the next one or two days.

You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are 

operating the mower.

Attach grass catcher following instructions in the Assembly 

1. 

& Set-Up section. Grass clippings will automatically collect 

in catcher as you operate the mower. The faster you push 

the mower, the more effectively it will collect clippings. 

Operate the mower till grass catcher is full.
Remove the grass catcher’s strap from the lower handle’s 

2. 

crossbar and lift the grass catcher up and away from the 

mower to remove the bag. Dispose of the grass clippings 

and reinstall the bag when complete.

If you strike a foreign object, 

thoroughly inspect mower for any damage. Repair 

any damage before operating.
