Know your machine & read these instructions  
Cutting Units  
The Alroh mower cuts the grass with a clean scissor like action as  
the spinning cylinder/reel passes the bottom blade. Regular ad-  
justment is required to maintain a light brushing contact between  
the cylinder and the entire length of the bottom blade.  
Keep hands & feet clear of the blades & moving parts.  
Stop the engine before clearing obstructions or working on the  
mower.  
Check all nuts, bolts and screws often, always be sure the mower is  
in safe condition and use only genuine replacement parts.  
On all Alroh mowers, the cutting cylinder is firmly fixed in posi-  
tion and the bottom blade is pivoted upwards to maintain the fine  
cutting action.  
Learn how to stop the mower in event of an emergency  
Adjust the engine revs with the throttle to a comfortable speed for  
you.  
Adjusters are located left and right on the front edge of the de-  
flector plate. Loosen the front nuts by turning anti-clockwise  
about 1/8th of a turn and then tighten the rear nuts by turning in  
the same anti-clockwise direction. Continue evenly left and right  
until light contact has been restored.  
Do not operate in a confined space where exhaust fumes (carbon  
monoxide) can collect.  
Check your lawn is free of obstructions, stones, metal or other  
items likely to damage the blades.  
A piece of paper or a blade of grass can be used to test the cut.  
Regular fine blade adjustment will extend the time before the  
blades will need sharpening.  
People, pets & children should be kept clear when mowing  
Only allow people familiar with these instructions to mow  
Excessive pressure between the cutting blades will indicate that  
the mower needs sharpening so as to avoid slipping belts, stalling  
the engine and premature blade wear.  
For first timers, why not practice manoeuvring the mower without  
the cutting cylinder rotating. Gain confidence and remember you  
should be in control!  
Occasionally, accidental damage can be caused to the corners of  
the bottom blade when hard objects are hit. This can cause an  
alarming noise. By reclining the mower slightly and manually  
rotating the cutting cylinder it will be possible to determine which  
end is causing the problem and an adjustable spanner can be used  
to lightly bend that end of the bottom blade away from the cylin-  
der.  
When loading the mower onto a trailer or into a car boot, ask for  
assistance, avoid twisting and keep your back straight.  
Always refuel the mower outside or in a well ventilated area. Do  
not smoke  
Mow across slopes, never up and down. The split ratchet rear  
roller on the 54D models will freewheel down hill.  
If the lawn has become overgrown, it is recommended to cut only  
a third of the leaf height at one time and return soon after for a  
second lower cut until the required finish is achieved.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.  
Disengage the cutting cylinder when crossing gravel drives, walks  
or roads.

Maintenance  
Starting Procedure  
Lubrication:  
Alroh Residential mowers are all fitted with  
Prior to starting, check oil and fuel levels. We recommend  
sealed bearings to give a long maintenance free performance.  
plain unleaded petrol rather than Premium be used.  
Cleaning: Avoid using a hose or pressure washer to clean the  
mower as this may force water into the bearings and engine.  
Turn the fuel and engine switch to the on positions.  
Check that the two clutch levers are disengaged (as illustra-  
tion).  
Compressed air or a blower can be used to clean the mower and a  
quick wipe over with a lightly oiled rag will help preserve the  
mower finish.  
The choke may need to be engaged for the first start.  
Set the throttle lever to a medium speed (half way).  
Engine: Follow the engine manufacturer’s recommendations  
for regular maintenance.  
Pull the recoil starter in a smooth motion and avoid reaching  
the limit of the rope. Return the handle to the start position be-  
fore releasing it.  
Air Filter: Clean, dust free, air is essential for the long life of  
your engine. Dirty filters restrict air flow, causing the engine to  
burn excessive fuel and reduce performance.  
Once started, disengage the choke and adjust the engine revs to  
allow smooth operation of the clutch controls.  
Oil Check:When checking the oil level ensure the engine is  
standing level to obtain an accurate reading.  
Remember that the cutting cylinder and the rear roller drive  
clutches can be operated independently for easy control.  
Oil Change:  
We recommend an early oil change at the end  
of the first month to remove impurities from manufacture and that  
the engine oil should be replaced at least annually. These engines  
have no oil filter and rely on regular changes of oil to give long  
reliable service. Run the engine till warm, stop the engine, re-  
move the sump plug at the rear of the engine and catch the waste  
oil in a bowl such as an ice cream container. Refill to the required  
oil level using the manufacturer’s recommended oil.  
Use the height adjuster knob to obtain the best cutting level for  
your turf conditions.  
Stopping Procedure  
Disengage the two clutch levers.  
Turn the engine stop switch to the off position.  
Transit: Avoid tipping the mower backwards either in transit  
or for service as this may allow the engine oil to pass into the cyl-  
inder head, carburettor and exhaust. The mower handle should  
not be lower than 45cm off the ground but can be rested on a  
chair to adjust the blades.  
If this fails to stop the engine, engaging the choke will nor-  
mally stop the engine or by removing the spark plug lead.  
Always stop the engine before working on the mower.
