Fig. 4: Screw push bar bottom section A (14), push bar bottom section B (15) and the two push bar extensions (13) together. Use six screws M6x30 (18) and hexagonal nuts M6 (20) for this purpose.

B. Snap the side fastening lugs on the grass box over the bar frame.
C. Snap the bottom fastening lug on the grass box over the bar frame.

6. Adjusting the cutting height (Fig. 8)

Four different cutting heights can be set between a range of 15 - 35mm . To do so, pull the spring-loaded bolts (A) on both sides of out and then engage them in the required holes.

7. Adjusting the counter blade (Fig. 9)

Note: The counter blade (B) is only be adjusted before using the machine for the first time or if the blades on the mower spindle are worn.

Undo the adjusting nuts (C) (10 mm) on both sides and adjust the counter blade to the required position. The counter blade (B) is correctly adjusted if a piece of paper placed between the blades on the mowing spindle and the counter blade is cut if you turn one of the wheels forwards by hand.

8. Attaching the grass box

Attach the assembled grass box to the roller. The grass box must also be secured to the push bar using the belt supplied (see Fig. 1).

9. Operation

The hand mower can cut grass up to approx. 10 cm in length. If you want your lawn to have a neat, trimmed look to it, however, you must consistently keep it cut down to a more manageable height. When starting the mowing session (and when mowing over freshly laid sod), it is advisable to set the cutting height relatively high, then gradually work your way down. For a well-groomed look, the cutting height should be set to approx. 2.5 cm. For optimum results, mow your lawn on a weekly basis. Grass blades grow thicker, faster, and are more resilient when their stems are consistently kept short (unless you live in very dry conditions and do not frequently water). Always mow the lawn when it is reasonable dry. In order to ensure that your lawn has a clean, even look to it when you're finished, mow in fairly straight paths at walking pace. The cutting swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid unsightly strips of grass.
