7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Maintenance and storage

_ Clean the machine with a brush or rag after each use.

_ Store the machine in a location that is dry and not accessible by children.

_ Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the machine can be safely operated at all times.

_ Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.

_ In order to ensure that you enjoy your scarifier for many years to come, all screwed parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and lubricated.

_ Keeping your hand mower in good condition not only ensures a long lifespan and high performance, but also enables the machine to thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.

_ The blade on the mower spindle is subject to more wear and tear than any other component of the unit. Check the condition of the blade on the mowing spindle at regular
