SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY

Your Ozito Push Reel Mower comes partly assembled, only the handle

requires assembly.

To assemble the mower handles you will

require a flat-head screwdriver and a 10mm

spanner (of shifter). These tools are not

included with this product.

First select the lower handle and two

handle uprights. Fasten together using the

four screws and nuts as indicated.

Proceed to inserting the two handle

uprights into the upper handle.

ASSEMBLY (cont.)

Fasten handle uprights and upper handle

together using two screws and nuts

as shown.

Now the handle is fully assembled and

ready to be attached to the mower head.

To attach the handle to the mower head,

locate the two metal lugs found forward of

the cutting bar adjustment lock nuts. Insert

one of the large holes in the handle over

the lug, then repeat the same process on

the other side. It may be necessary to

squeeze the two lower handle arms

together to allow room for locating the

second arm over the remaining metal lug.

ADJUSTMENTS

Changing the Cutting Height

Changing the cutting height is quick, easy, and requires no tools. Simply loosen the

locking knobs on each side of the rear roller. This enables the roller assembly to slide

up or down to place the cutting bar at a different height level. Make sure the height is

the same on both sides. Re-tighten the locking knobs until the roller assembly is

secured in position.

Note: It is essential that the height is the same on both sides of the hand lawn mower.

Adjusting the Cutting Bar to the Blades

The cutting bar should be as close to the blades as possible, when the blades are

rotated manually they should make slight contact making a whispery sound (like

scissors opening and closing), ensure the bar does not stop the blades from rotating.

To raise or lower the bar loosen or tighten the

adjustment nuts (using a 10mm spanner, or

shifter) on the ends of the cutting bar (located

behind the reel blades, above the roller

as pictured).

Note: A small 1/16 of a turn is a

major adjustment.

To loosen the blades, or move them further

away from the cutting bar, loosen the cutting

bar adjustment nuts on each side equally by

turning them anti-clockwise.

To tighten the blades, or move them closer against the cutting bar, tighten both cutting

bar adjustment nuts equally turning them clockwise. If the mower is only cutting on

one side, the cutting bar may be out of alignment with the blade reel. Therefore,

tighten the side of the mower that is not cutting to bring it back into alignment.

If the mower is hard to push and the blades barely turn, the cutting bar may be over-

tightened against the blade reel.

If the blade reel spins freely and doesn't make contact against the cutting bar, or the

mower isn't cutting grass well, the cutting bar may be too loose against the blade reel.

GRASS CATCHER

It is possible to purchase a grass catcher for the Ozito Push Reel Mower. This

accessory can be purchased through your local Bunnings Warehouse. Accessory

model no. ACLMP-001.

1. While using the push reel mower always wear substantial footwear and

long trousers.

2. Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and debris; that could be

thrown by the blades.

3. Before using the mower and after any impact, check for signs of wear or

damage and repair as necessary.

4. Sharpen worn or damaged blades.

Walk at a Good, Steady Pace

With a push reel mower, the rotation of the wheels turn the blade reel. The mower

will tend to bind up and skid if it is moving at too slow a pace. The faster the

wheels are travelling, the faster the blade reel turns. Therefore, moving at a

comfortably quick walking pace will achieve the best results.

Overlapping Rows

When mowing a lawn, slightly overlap the row that has already been mowed. This

will make the force required to move the mower easier because less grass is being

mowed at one time. Overlapping rows will also ensure a neat cut by removing grass

that may have been missed on the previous row.

Don't let the Grass get too Tall

Push reel mowers are harder to push when the grass gets too tall, therefore it is

recommended to mow on a weekly basis.

Push Reel Mowers don't Mow Tall Weeds

The push reel mower will tend to roll over tall weeds without cutting them. This

includes tall weeds that are more than six inches, and things like dandelions and docs.

If the desired lawn to be mowed has a significant weed infestation, enquire at your

local Bunnings store how to rectify the problem, or as an alternative, rent a petrol

powered mower to gain control of the lawn. Push reel mowers are designed to cut

lawns in reasonable condition.

The Metal Guard protects your Garden

The metal guard does not only protect your hands and feet, but also the garden.

The push reel mower can be pushed right up to flowers and shrubs without

damaging them. This feature means the push reel mower can cut the edges of the

lawn where garden plants exist minimising any potential damage.

PREPARATION

HOW TO MOW

SHARPENING THE BLADE

Before taking the time and effort to sharpen the blades, make sure that it needs

sharpening. Most of all issues can be solved by ensuring the blades are properly

adjusted (ADJUSTMENTS section).

1. Prop up the push reel mower so that the blade reel can be rotated by turning

the wheels.

2. Check the blades for nicks and burrs. If any damage is found, it usually can be

removed by holding a file flat against the blade and pushing away from the edge.

3. Examine the cutting bar. It should just meet the blades along their entire

length. (To make sure the cutting bar is located correctly, grasp a wheel and

turn it forward; you should hear a whispery sound as the blades pass the

cutting bar).

4. If the bar is out of alignment, adjust using the adjustment nuts on the ends of

the bar (ADJUSTMENTS section).

5. Using your fingers or a soft paintbrush, cover the blades with a thin, even coat

of automotive valve-grinding compound (available at automotive stores).

6. Grasp a wheel and turn it slowly backward so the grinding compound is

squeezed between the blades and the cutting bar, thereby sharpening both

cutting edges as they pass each other. Be sure that each blade touches the

bar as the wheel is rotated.

7. Make about a dozen turns, applying more grinding compound when necessary.

8. Examine the blade edges. If they look sharp, wash off all the valve compound

with soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

9. Test for sharpness. Insert a sheet of newspaper between the blades and the

cutting bar, and rotate the reel forward. When the blades cut the paper as

easily and as cleanly as a sharp pair of scissors would, the task is complete.

Note: After each use, hose the mower clean and wipe it dry. Wipe all the metal

parts with a thin film of WD-40 or mineral oil.

Warning! Sharpen blades only by hand. The heat generated by a power

grinder or an electric drill with a grinding wheel attached can destroy the

temper of the metal. Wear thick leather gloves when handling the blade

reel and cutter bar and make slow, precise movements to avoid cutting

or jamming your fingers.
