Maintenance and Repair
IMPORTANT!
- 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:
Clean
- 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

- 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
