Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT: To ensure long-lasting performance, protect
your mower from impact during use and storage, keep it clean
and dry and practice regular maintenance as follows.
Lubricate moving parts at least once a season and prior to winter
storage to maintain peak performance. Your 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.
General Maintenance
Keep your mower dry to prevent rust. Your mower will perform
better for longer if it is kept dry. The precision-ground blade edges of the
cutting reel and stationary blade and the bearings that carry the cutting
reel and the rear axle are most vulnerable to rust. If your mower does get
wet, dry it off with a towel and then spray it with a rust preventative as
soon as possible.
ATTENTION: Do not use solvents such as mineral spirits or kerosene to
clean your reel mower. They will damage the plastic
Keep your mower clean to eliminate potential jams and moisture that
could cause rust. Your mower will last longer and look better if it is kept
clean. After mowing, use a broom or long-bristled brush to clean any grass
clippings or other loose debris from the mower — especially around the
cutting reel and the bottom of the drive system cover. Removing grass
clippings prevents cutting and drive system jams and eliminates trapped
moisture that could cause rust.
ATTENTION: Do not use a garden hose to wash your mower. Storing the
mower wet will allow rust to form.

Care and Maintenance
Inspect your blades at least once a season and anytime your mower
strikes a hard object. While your mower features the Fiskars
®
exclusive
StaySharp
™
Cutting System with hardened steel blades, blade damage
may still occur if rocks, concrete edges or other hard debris are struck.
Before checking for blade damage, ensure that the mower cannot roll
forward by positioning it on a firm, level surface with blocked rear wheels.
Examine the entire length of the ground edges on all five cutting reel
blades and the stationary blade. If a dent or ding is found, determine if
the ding causes the cutting reel and stationary blade to touch. To do this,
slowly pull the cutting reel downward while listening for scraping and
feeling for resistance in the area of the ding. If there is no contact, there is
no need to repair the ding. Simply treat it with rust preventative and
re-inspect periodically in case raised edges appear with continued use.
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.
To avoid further damage, repair any ding that causes the cutting reel
and stationary blade to touch as quickly as possible. With care, any
ding found can be repaired with little or no impact on your mower’s cutting
performance. Before beginning, get a narrow fine file (like the one found in
the Fiskars’
Tool Care Kit, Model 7862) and position the mower on a firm,
level surface with blocked rear wheels to ensure that it cannot roll forward.
To remove the ding, file away only enough of the raised material to allow
the cutting reel to spin without making contact with the stationary blade.
File with long, straight strokes perpendicular
to the cutting edge of the blade, trying to
avoid removing material from the cutting
edge itself. When the raised edges are filed
down, check the cutting gap as described in
Checking Cutting Performance on page 10.
WARNING: The mower blades are sharp. Wear gloves when
performing this procedure, and keep fingers away from the interface
between reel and stationary blade.
ATTENTION: Do not use a power tool to repair blades. Too much steel
will be removed, resulting in severe blade damage and greatly reduced
cutting performance.
To Maintain Peak Cutting Performance. Your mower features a non-
contact StaySharp
™
Cutting System that cuts grass without the reel and
bedknife blades actually touching. Under normal usage conditions,
StaySharp
™
blades should stay sharp for the life of the mower. In the
unlikely event that the blades on a heavily used mower begin to show
signs of wear, Fiskars recommends backlapping to restore the blade
edges. Instructions and supplies are available in Fiskars’ StaySharp
™
Blade Restoration Kit, Model 362150-1001.
ATTENTION: Fiskars does not recommend sharpening the StaySharp
™
Max mower. The equipment and processes used in home sharpening
kits, and even by many professional sharpeners, will likely not be able to
achieve the strict tolerances required to maintain the non-contact nature of
the StaySharp
™
cutting system.
Drive Chain (A): Spray lubricant through the drive system lubrication hole
while slowly rolling the mower forward to move the chain.
Rear Wheel Bearings (B): Spray lubricant between each wheel and
side plate.
Cutting Reel Bearings (C): Spray lubricant on both ends of the cutting reel
shaft, which is located under the grass discharge chute (D).
Front Fork Assembly (E): Spray lubricant on both ends.
Cut Height Adjustment Lever (F): Spray lubricant on the cut height
adjustment lever through the slot in the cover (G).

Hint: It is recommended that a silicone-based lubricant be used.
A lubricant that leaves a dry film instead of an oily or tacky surface
is recommended in order to keep dirt, dust and grass clippings
from sticking to the reel blades.
