E. Assembling the Mantis Reel Mower
1. Checking all parts are included
The Mantis Reel Mower box contains the following parts:
•Mantis Reel Mower
•1 battery
•1 upper section of the guide handle
•1 middle section of the guide handle
•1 lower section of the guide handle
•Assembly parts for the guide handle in a plastic bag
•1 Charger LG 24 (24 Volt)
•1 thickness gauge
•Operating instructions
2. Assembling the guide handle (Fig. A – M)
1.Tilt your Hand Lawnmower so that the black rollers face upwards (Fig. B/C). Fit the lower section of the guide handle (5) so that the drilled holes (10) are over handle bolts (11) (Fig. B). Note: Make sure that the groove in the drilled hole (10) and the locking tab of the handle bolt (11) meet (Fig. D). WARNING! Do not use excessive force. First ensure that the recess in the handle and the lug of the bolt are in alignment and then fix together.
2.Continue assembling the guide handle as follows using the black central connecting section: Disassemble the central connecting section (27) (referred to as the "node" from now on). The front and rear sides of the node are fastened together by a clip lock to prevent them from springing open. The clip lock can be found in the recess on the back of the node. For easier disassembly, release the clip lock by pushing it outwards. Press the four nuts into the recesses in the rear section of the node (the side
without the Mantis logo). Gently press in the four nuts so that they are inserted properly and do not fall out of the recesses when the node is turned over (Fig. E). Turn the mower so that the rollers rest on the ground. Prepare the top and middle sections of the guide handle so that the sections of the handle overlap as shown in the assembly diagram (Fig. F). Hold the rear section of the node so that the grass catcher holder (28) faces upwards and guide the cable through the cable duct on the left side of the node (Fig. G) (viewed from below. Pay attention to the length of the cable!). Now insert both sections of the handle according to the recesses (Fig. H). Attach the front section of the node to the rear section of the node. Make sure that you hear the clip lock snap into place and screw together both parts of the node using the bolts provided (Fig. I/K).
3.Now attach the middle and top sections of the guide handle using the bolts and wing nuts provided (Fig. L/M). WARNING! The cable must not hang down near the cutting cylinder.
3. Setting the cutting height (Fig. N/O)
WARNING! TO PREVENT INJURY, 
NEVER SET THE CUTTING HEIGHT WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING.
Set the cutting height on the Mantis Reel Mower as follows:
1.Stand the Hand Lawnmower on a flat, solid surface.
2.Position yourself in front of the cutting height scale of the Mantis Reel Mower (Fig. N).
