ASSEMBLY  
ASSEMBLE THE HANDLE SECTIONS (FIG. A)  
Fit the lower section of the handle so that the holes are over the handle posts on the mower. Then  
rock the handle to align the locking tabs and allow the handle section to fit into place.  
Continue assembly of the middle and top sections of the handle using the handle bolts and wing  
nuts.  
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (FIG. B, C)  
The cutting height of the LMM may be adjusted from approximately 10 mm (.4 inches) up to  
approximately 55 mm (2.1 inches). Actual height may vary according to the height of the turf.  
Adjust the mower to the desired height as follows:  
Position the lawn mower on solid, level ground. Stand behind the lawn mower so that you can  
put a foot on the roller (1) (Fig. B). Loosen both sets of screws (2). Now you can adjust the  
desired cutting height with both hands using the adjusting handle (3) (Fig. C).  
Make sure the cutting height markers (4) indicate the same cutting height on the scales on both  
sides. Now the two set-screws (2) should be tightened again.  
OPERATION

NORMAL MOWING  
To obtain a clean cut, push the mower in straight lines (passes) at a deliberate walking pace.  
Overlap the passes to even the cut and to avoid any uncut strips. Mower works best in dry grass.  
Wet grass causes an uneven cut.  
MOWING USING THE GRASS CATCHER (Optional Accessory) See illustrations at  
beginning of manual: steps 1-8.  
The grass catcher collects the clippings as it mows.  
ƒ
The grass catcher attaches at the grass catcher hooks located on either side of the roller  
bar. The strap hooks onto the catcher and hooks onto the lower rung of the handle.  
Mow using the same procedure as for normal mowing  
MOWING: GENERAL INFORMATION  
THE 1/3 RULE  
This is the key to enjoyable mowing and a healthy lawn.  
1. The lawn should be mowed regularly, at least once a week during the growing season.  
2. Be guided by observing the lawn and taking care not to remove more than 1/3 of the total  
height of the turf at any mowing.  
3. Following this rule will stimulate the turf’s root growth, maintain its health, and encourage its  
natural ability to crowd out unwanted weeds.  
If the lawn has become too high (over 9 cm or 3.5 inches in height) then it is best to set the mower  
to the highest setting to mow. After mowing, reset down to the normal level and mow again within  
a day or two.  
Removing too much of the turf’s height, especially in the heat of summer, can cause root shock and  
weaken the lawn; bringing down the height by successive mowings over two or more days can  
avoid this damage and maintain the health of the turf.  
If the lawn is overgrown (to higher than 10 cm – 4 inches) it may be advisable to use a brush  
cutter to remove the excess turf mass before resuming mowing at normal heights.  
MAINTENANCE  
CLEANING  
After using the mower, clean with a moist cloth. Spray the cylinder and cutting bar with silicon  
spray lube.  
GENERAL MAINTENANCE  
Regularly check to insure that all bolts, nuts, and screws are tight and that the mower is in good  
working order. Worn out and damaged parts should be replaced.  
The blades, if properly cared for, will mow for years before requiring sharpening. Sharpening can  
only be done by a professional using a cylinder grinder and proper techniques.  
SEASONAL MAINTENANCE  
Readjusting the blade clearance (Fig. D, E)  
The blades are optimally adjusted from the factory. However, annually, or after using the mower  
for a long period and the cut is not clean, the blades need readjusting. The procedure is as follows:  
1. Turn the mower over to expose the cutting bar on the bottom of the mower.  
2. Using a 10mm open end wrench, tighten the hex bolt approximately 1/4 turn at one end of the  
cutting bar until the cutting bar and cylinder come into contact. Spin the blade cylinder by hand  
and back off the bolt approximately 1/8 turn or until the cutting bar and cylinder are no longer  
in contact.  
3. Make the same adjustment at the other end of the cutting bar.

4. Now check the adjustment using the small 0.05mm/0.002 inch gauge (silver strip) supplied  
with the LMM (or any 0.05mm/0.002 inch feeler gauge). If the gauge is held by the cylinder  
blades but the cylinder and cutting bar are not touching then the adjustment is correct.  
STORAGE  
1. Store the LMM in a cool, dry place.  
2. The mower should be stored out of the reach of children.  
!
WARNING  
Blades are sharp! Be careful of injury — handle the blades  
carefully to avoid cutting yourself. Wear appropriate gloves  
or hand protection.
