9.3.The Cordless Reel Mower Cleaning
To avoid injury to persons Aand material damage: Never clean your Cordless Reel Mower with running water, in particular with water under high pressure.
After using the mower clean with a moist cloth. Spray the cutting cylinder and lower blade with an oil of low viscosity (e. g. spray oil).
Maintenance
The blades, which if cared for properly must only be sharpened after years, can only be sharpened by Mantis due to the special sharpening technique.
The mower may only be repaired and the cutting blades may only be installed by approved specialist workshops.
Note: Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and that the mower is in good working order. For safety reasons, allow all worn out and damaged parts to be exchanged by Mantis Service or authorized specialist dealers.
To avoid injury and damage to the mower we recommend you have your mower checked in autumn so that it is ready and safe to use next season.
Storage
Store your Cordless Reel Mower in a dry, cool place where it is protected from frost. The mower should be stored out of the reach of children.
9.4. Readjusting the cutting tool
The cutting tool of your Cordless Reel Mower was set at an optimum setting before leaving our factory. However, if the cut is not clean after using your mower for a longer period of time, please correct the setting of the lower blade as follows:
1.Switch off the Cordless Reel Mower and pull the battery out of the contact bar to prevent starting the Cordless Reel Mower unintentionally.
2.Push the supplied thickness gauge (fig. L pos.21) on the left hand side between one blade of the cutting cylinder and the lower blade (fig. L).
3.Turn the hexagon thread bolt (fig. L pos. 20) with a 10 mm fork wrench to the left or to the right until the thickness gauge closes slightly. Repeat this on the right hand side of the mower.
4.Turn the cutting cylinder to test the setting. None of the 5 blades of the cylinder must touch the lower blade.
Warning! Handle the Acutting tool carefully to avoid cutting yourself. Wear appropriate gloves to protect your hands.
5.When you have adjusted the cutting tool test it using a piece of newspaper (fig. M).
