VI. Mower Blade Calibration Adjustments
The blades on the push mower are all calibrated prior to leaving the factory and generally do
not require adjustment .However adjustments may be required only if you notice a rough,
uneven cut; the mower is difficult to push, or the mower simply does not cut the grass. Please
note before proceeding, adjusting the blades is a very sensitive procedure. A turn(adjustment)
of 1/16 is considered a major adjustment! Carefully follow the procedures below.
Proper calibration is achieved when the cutting blades are adjusted so that the rotating cutting
reel ever so slightly comes in even contact along the entire length of the cutting bar
,creating a shearing or scissor-like effect.
WARNING The cutting bar and the rotating reel blades can be damaged if they are
adjusted too close to each other.
1. Loosening the blades
The cutting bar must be moved away from the rotating cutting reel by turning the spring loaded
screws equally counter clockwise. Be sure to loosen both spring loaded screws on both sides of the
mower the same amount of turns (see Figure 2). Use very fine adjustments!
2.Tightening the blades
The cutter bar must be moved closer the cutting reel by turning the spring loaded screws equally
clockwise. Be sure to tighten the spring loaded screws on both sides of the mower the same
amount same of turns(see Figure 2). Use very fine adjustments!
3.Checking the adjustments
a).Turn the mower upside down.
