Frequently Asked Questions - MER1940 McGregor

How do I adjust the cutting height on the McGregor MER1940?
The cutting height is adjusted using a lever near the wheels. There are 5 positions ranging from 25 mm to 75 mm. Turn off the mower and wait for the blade to stop before adjusting.
What should I do if the mower does not start?
Check that the power cord is properly connected and the outlet is working. Ensure the safety switch is engaged. If it still doesn't start, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker. Never attempt to force the motor.
How often should I sharpen the blade?
Sharpen the blade at least once a year or after every 25 hours of use. A dull blade tears grass, leading to disease. Use a file or grinder and maintain the original angle. Replace if damaged.
Can I use an extension cord with this electric mower?
Yes, use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord rated for at least 13 amps. Keep the cord away from the cutting path and use the cord restraint hook to prevent disconnection.
How do I clean the grass bag?
Empty the bag after each use. Occasionally rinse with water and allow to dry completely before storing. Do not use harsh chemicals. Check for tears and replace if necessary.
What is the maximum slope I can mow safely?
The recommended maximum slope is 15 degrees (approximately 26% grade). Mow across slopes, never up and down. If the slope is steeper, consider using a trimmer or manual tools.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Replacement blades, grass bags, and other parts are available through the McGregor website or authorized dealers. Use the model number MER1940 to ensure compatibility.
How do I store the mower during winter?
Clean the mower thoroughly, remove the grass bag, and store in a dry place. If possible, drain the fuel if it were gas (electric models have no fuel) but for electric, simply unplug and coil the cord. Apply light oil to the blade to prevent rust.
Is the McGregor MER1940 suitable for small lawns?
Yes, with a 40 cm cutting width and 40 L bag, it is ideal for small to medium lawns up to 500 m². For larger lawns, consider a self-propelled or riding mower.
What safety precautions should I take while mowing?
Always wear sturdy shoes and long pants. Never mow in wet conditions. Keep children and pets away. Ensure the blade stops before reaching into the discharge chute. Disconnect power before cleaning or adjusting.

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with gears and housing (no text or symbols)

If the blade is blunt, it can be sharpened in a specialised workshop. If the blade is damaged or showing signs of imbalance, it must be replaced.

Carry out the following steps to change the blade:

  • Turn the mower over and rest it carefully on its side.
  • Use safety gloves and hold the blade firmly. Turn the blade bolt anticlockwise to remove the blade.
  • Install the new blade in the reverse order. Ensure that the blade is positioned correctly and the screw tightened firmly. The blade's wings should be angled upwards (towards the mower).
  • Tighten the fastening bolt. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.

McGregor MER1940 - Blade Maintenance - 2

IMPORTANT! Always wear safety gloves when engaging in any maintenance work.

Only replace the blade with a suitable (legally we cannot prevent use of spares from other companies) replacement blade as this will ensure top performance and safety under all conditions.

Recycling and Disposal

Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and packaging should be sorted, taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an environmentally safe way. Recycle rather than dispose of unwanted material in landfill whenever possible. The machine must be delivered in rigid packaging to avoid damage during transportation. The packaging and the machine itself are manufactured from recyclable materials and should be disposed of accordingly.

Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery terms in separate collection schemes, which cater for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your cooperation is vital to ensure the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.

McGregor MER1940 - Recycling and Disposal - 1

Recycle packaging where facilities exist.

This symbol is known as the Crossed out Wheelie Bin Symbol. When this symbol is marked on a product or battery, it means that it should not be disposed of with your general household waste. Some chemicals contained within electrical/electronic products or batteries can be harmful to health.

Guarantee

Dear Customer,

In the unlikely event that your device develops a fault, please contact our Customer service department on the telephone number shown below.

  1. These guarantee terms cover additional guarantee rights and do not affect your statutory warranty rights. Claims must be accompanied by Proof of Purchase. This must be in the form of a Sales receipt or Bank statement and must show that the product has been purchased within 2 years prior to the claim, from the retailer that it was originally sold to.
  2. Our guarantee covers problems caused by material or manufacturing defects, and will result in the repair of these defects or replacement of the device with a like for like or similar article.

Please note that our devices have not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Consequently, the guarantee is invalidated if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial applications or for other equivalent activities.

  1. The following are also excluded from our guarantee :

A. Faults due to accidents, customer misuse or unauthorized repairs
B. Failure due to lack of routine maintenance.
D. Accidental damage or wear to any cables, the drive belt or the blade.

C. Failure as a result of not using the equipment in accordance with the manual and safety instructions

  1. The guarantee is valid for a period of 2 years starting from the purchase date of the device.

Guarantee claims should be submitted before the end of the guarantee period within two weeks of the defect being noticed. No guarantee claims will be accepted after the end of the guarantee period. The original guarantee period remains applicable to the device even if repairs are carried out or parts are replaced. In such cases, the work performed or parts fitted will not result in an extension of the guarantee period, and no new guarantee will become active for the work performed or parts fitted. This also applies when an on-site Service is used.

  1. Please keep your sales receipt in a safe place.
