Adjusting the blade (See Fig. O & R) The blades are correctly adjusted when the cutting cylinder (reel) lightly brushes the bottom blade (bed knife) across the full width as the cylinder is turned. The blades act like a pair of scissors. As a test, correctly adjusted blades will cut a piece of good quality writing paper (80g/m ) across the width of the blade.
Page 19
The cylinder (reel) and bottom blade (bed knife) can be re-sharpened. This is recommended every 2-3 years or as required. Blunt or dull blades will adversely affect cutting performance and battery life. Please contact your local dealer for information. You can search for your nearest registered dealer on-line at www.allett.co.uk/allett-dealer- locator Cleaning and Storage Clean the mower, battery and charger with a soft dry brush or cloth.
