Momentum™ Technologies StaySharp™ Cutting System, Fiskars Exclusive What is it? Fiskars® exclusive StaySharp™ cutting system uses precisionground, hardened steel blades engineered to efficiently cut grass without actually touching, greatly reducing friction and blade wear. How is it different? Standard reel mowers rely on contact between the cutting reel and stationary blade for cutting. The steel-on-steel contact that is produced creates friction and causes blade wear.
Assembly F G 1. Check the front of the cutting reel for a clear thin plastic shipping shield that extends downward from the grass discharge chute. If the shield is present, remove and discard it prior to first use. Handle nuts (4) Handle bolts (4) Cut height adjustment knob (1) B Cut Height Adjustment Assembly A Attaching the Handle E C G 1.

Adjusting Your Mower Adjusting Your Mower Handle Height Adjustment HINT: Cut Height Adjustment Facing the front of the mower, place your right hand on the lifting handle (A) to support the mower during adjustment. Use your left hand to pull the cut height adjustment knob (B) away from the mower and move to your desired cut height. Then release the knob making sure the lever (C) snaps back into place.
Checking Cutting Performance Preparation Check #2: Do the Blades Cut Properly? 1. To check if the blades cut properly you will need to check the blades on both the left and right side of the mower. On the left side, feed a strip of paper up vertically from under the mower between a cutting reel blade (A) and the stationary blade (B). About half an inch of the strip should be visible above the stationary blade. 3. Slide the paper up a half an inch at a time to check the other blades. 5.
Using Your Mower Mowing Tips For a healthy lawn, cut off no more than 1/3 of the grass length. To maintain a healthy lawn and eliminate the mess created by very long grass clippings, cut off no more than one-third of the grass length at a time. If more than one-third of the length is removed, root growth will be impaired and the grass will be stressed making your lawn susceptible to weed invasion, disease, and poor appearance.
Troubleshooting Is your grass very long or are tall weeds present? If grass over 6" long or tall weeds are present, they may be knocked down by the mower’s front fork assembly. If this happens, either pull these long stragglers by hand or make a second mowing pass to try and cut them. To prevent this entirely, never let your grass grow longer than 6".
Care and Maintenance General Maintenance Lubricate moving parts at least once a season and prior to winter storage to maintain peak performance. Your Momentum™ mower will push easier and last longer if all moving parts are lubricated periodically. It is also recommended that lubrication be applied any time the mower gets wet. A Keep your mower dry to prevent rust. Your Momentum™ mower will perform better for longer if it is kept dry.
