normal work or by hitting obstructions. Check that
the cutting blade(s) is correctly set to the mower
body by measuring the distance between the blades
and the lawnmower skirt, vertically. This distance
should nominally be 3mm. Remove the battery and
carefully rotate the blade(s) by hand and check the
distance is nominally correct all around the mower
body. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows.
•
Remove the battery.
•
Rotate the blade(s) manually until it is accessi-
ble from the rear flap.
•
Using a crescent spanner on the end of the
blade, apply an upward or downward force to
correct the distance.
•
Re-check each blade and make marginal adjust-
ments as necessary.
•
Re-insert the battery.
Recommended check dimension 3mm inside mower body
NOTE: If it is impossible to obtain a good clean cut,
it may be necessary to take the mower to your local
LawnMaster Service Dealer to have a new set of
blade(s) fitted.
GRASS CATCHER
WARNING - Always shut off the motor and ensure it
has stopped before fitting and removing the grass
catcher or raising the rear flap.
Your rotary lawnmower can be operated with the
grass catcher fitted, or removed as a utility mower.
NOTE: If the lawnmower is used with the catcher
removed, the real flap must be fitted and located in
the down/closed position. To fit the grass catcher,
stop the motor and position ensuing the catcher
tongue is located over the rear axle. Slide the catcher
forward and upward; lower the flap so that the lugs
on the flap locate into the square holes on top of the
catcher. Your catcher is now attached.
To remove the grass catcher, stop the motor, hold the
catcher by its top handle and raise the rear flap. Lift
the grass catcher up and away from the lawnmower
and return the grass flap to its down/closed position.
Avoid leaving the catcher in direct sunlight when
not in use. The catcher will not deteriorate if stored
wet but prolonged exposure to sunlight ca cause
premature UV breakdown. Dust and clippings
will build up inside the catcher and on its venting
screen, particularly during wet weather mowing. The
debris will impede the function of the catcher so it
should be removed by hosing out with water when
necessary.
CLEANING THE MOWER BODY
WARNING - Do not use a water hose around the
motor.
There is a direct relationship between the
lawnmower's life and the care and attention given to
the lawnmower, both during and after operation.
After use it is important that the lawnmower is
thoroughly cleaned down and inspected so that it will
be in good working order the next time it is required.
Remove the battery and thoroughly clean the motor,
and underside of the chassis, wheels and grass
catcher. Do not use water to clean the underside
of the mower as this may damage the electrical
components of the battery mower.
CLEANING THE CATCHER
Simply hose out the catcher and screen after each
use to ensure maximum mower performance and
catcher fill.
EMPTYING THE GRASS CATCHER
•
Stop mower, allow blades to completely stop.
•
Lift the rear flap
•
Lift the grass catcher by its handle to remove
from mower.
•
Empty grass clippings.
•
Lift the rear flap and reinstall the grass catcher
as described earlier in this manual.
•
Do not bang the catcher on the ground when
emptying the catcher.
