Maintenance and Repair
WARNING!
Cylinder mowers have a difficult time with tall weeds
such as dandelions which most times will cause the
weeds to bend and not cut – cut often to prevent this.
Cylinder mowers are relatively low maintenance. For
consistent cutting follow the below instructions:
- Always keep the cutting bar properly adjusted. Refer to the
instruction manual for further directions.
- Regularly clean and lubricate the cutting edges with light
spray oil.
- Keep area to be mowed free from debris to avoid damage of
the cutting blades.
- For best results, regularly apply lubricant to mower’s cutting
surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft and wheels.
- Turn the Cylinder blades until the front edge of the cutter bar
blade is polished.
Blade clearance adjustment
WARNING!
- Mower blade are sharp and can cut. Wear gloves
and use extra caution when servicing them.
Any wheel rotation can cause the blade reel to
rotate.
- Do not over-tighten adjustment screw as this could
damage cutter bar. Both screws must be tight
on final adjustment.
The blade reel is adjusted for proper clearance from
the cutting bar at the factory. However, after extended
periods of mowing or as part of annual maintenance, it is
recommended that the blade clearance be readjusted .
• If blade clearance is too wide, the cutting pattern will be
rough and uneven.
• If blade clearance is too narrow, the machine will be noisy
and difficult to push while operating.
To adjust blade clearance, proceed as follows:
i. Turn mower upside down.
ii. Insert a piece of paper(thickness around 0.12mm)
between cutter bar and reel blades, and slowly turn
wheel by hand.
iii. All blades should slice the paper evenly, along the entire
length of the cutter bar while the reel turns smoothly.
iv. If mower has an intermittent cut, adjustment should be
made to the appropriate side of blades to attain proper
cutting action. We’ve taking sharpening the cutting blade
out due to health and safety issues.
v. Tighten the screws on both side of the fixed blade,
ensure that the blade can cut the paper easily.
