Checking Cutting Performance
Preparation
1. You’ll need several 1" wide strips of standard printer paper (not
newspaper) about 8" long, a pair of work gloves and a wood block.
WARNING: The mower blades are sharp. Wear gloves when performing
this procedure, and keep fingers away from the interface between the reel
and stationary blade.
2. Ensure that the mower cannot roll forward by positioning it on a firm,
level surface with a block in front of the rear wheels. Then raise the mower
to the highest cut height position to improve access.
Check #1: Do the Blades Make Contact?
1. To check if the blades make contact, face the front of the mower and
slowly pull the cutting reel (A) downward, one blade at a time, through a full
rotation or two. If you hear scraping or feel resistance, skip the remainder of
this section and proceed to Adjusting the Blades on page 11.
ATTENTION: If the cutting reel and stationary blade make contact the
mower will be difficult to push and may dull the blade.
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.
IMPORTANT: The StaySharp
™
Cutting System is engineered
to cut grass without contact between the blades. This cutting system
was precision set during assembly. However, since slippage may possibly
occur during shipping, handling or use, it is very important to check the
cutting performance prior to rst use and periodically thereafter. Since
slippage can occur in two directions, two checks are required to evaluate
cutting performance — both checks need to be performed on both the
left and right sides of the mower. Checking the cutting performance,
and adjusting if needed, is the most important thing you can do to
ensure that your mower always performs optimally.

IMPORTANT:
Always place the
strip of paper straight
up and down, perpen-
dicular to the ground,
like a blade of grass.

Checking Cutting Performance
WARNING: Keep your fingers away from the cutting region; they should
be below the stationary blade.
2. Pull the cutting reel (A) downward, observing whether the paper is cut as the
first cutting reel blade passes.
3. Slide the paper up a half an inch at a time to check the other blades.
4. Move to the right side of the mower and check if the blades cut on that
side properly.
5. If most of the blades cut on both sides, the cutting system is set correctly.
If most of the blades do not cut, the cutting system needs to be adjusted.
Proceed to Adjusting the Blades below.
ATTENTION: Failure to correct an improperly set cutting system will result in
poor cutting performance and uncut blades of grass.
Adjusting the Blades
Adjust the blades as needed. If issues exist on both sides of the mower,
address them one side at a time.
1. The tools required are an 11 mm and 13 mm wrench.
2. Using the 13 mm wrench, loosen the two locking bolts (C) on the side you are
correcting approximately one full turn to allow for adjustment. These bolts are tight
from the assembly process to prevent any movement in shipping, and may require
some extra leverage. Use a deep-well socket or a regular socket with an
extension for best results.
3. Using the 11 mm wrench, adjust the blades using the adjustment dial (D) on
the appropriate side. Note: the nut below the dial will move during adjustment.
•
If the blades are making contact, turn the dial counter-clockwise while
rotating the cutting reel, stopping as soon as the blades lose contact.
•
If the blades didn’t cut paper, turn the dial clockwise while rotating
the cutting reel just until the blades make contact. Then turn the dial
counter-clockwise to back off slightly.

D
4. When properly adjusted, the cutting reel and stationary blade should be
just short of making contact. When the blades are properly adjusted,
firmly tighten the locking bolts on the side you adjusted. Confirm the
cutting performance has been corrected on this side by once again
performing the two checks. If issues exist on the other side of the mower,
repeat adjustment steps.

11 mm
Hint: If you have followed the directions for adjusting the blades and
are still not cutting paper on one or both of the sides of the mower,
tighten the locking bolts as directed in step four and take the mower
out for a test pass. If the mower cuts to your satisfaction and the
blades do not make contact, you have adjusted the mower correctly.
