Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT: To ensure long-lasting performance, protect

your mower from impact during use and storage, keep it clean

and dry and practice regular maintenance as follows.

Lubricate moving parts at least once a season and prior to winter

storage to maintain peak performance. Your mower will push easier

and last longer if all moving parts are lubricated periodically. It is also

recommended that lubrication be applied any time the mower gets wet.

General Maintenance

Keep your mower dry to prevent rust. Your reel mower will perform

better for longer if it is kept dry. The precision-ground blade edges of the

cutting reel, stationary blade, the bearings that carry the cutting reel, and

the rear axle are most vulnerable to rust. If your mower does get wet, dry it

off with a towel and spray it with a rust preventative as soon as possible.

ATTENTION: Do not use solvents such as mineral spirits or kerosene to

clean your reel mower. They will damage the plastic.

Keep your mower clean to eliminate potential jams and moisture that

could cause rust. Your reel mower will last longer and look better if it is

kept clean. After mowing, use a broom or long-bristled brush to clean any

grass clippings or other loose debris from the mower — especially around

the cutting reel and the bottom of the drive system cover. Removing grass

clippings prevents cutting and drive system jams and eliminates trapped

moisture that could cause rust.

ATTENTION: Do not use a garden hose to wash your mower. Storing the

mower wet will cause rust to form.

Care and Maintenance

Inspect your blades at least once a season and anytime your mower

strikes a hard object. While your reel mower features Fiskars’ exclusive

StaySharp

™

Cutting System with hardened steel blades, blade damage

may still occur if rocks, concrete edges or other hard debris are struck.

Before checking for blade damage, ensure that the mower cannot roll

forward by positioning it on a ﬁrm, level surface with blocked rear wheels.

Examine the entire length of the ground edges on all ﬁve cutting reel

blades and the stationary blade. If a dent or ding is found, determine if the

ding causes the cutting reel blade and stationary blade to touch. To do

this, slowly pull the cutting reel downward while listening for scraping and

feeling for resistance in the area of the ding. If there is no contact, there is

no need to repair the ding. Simply treat it with rust preventative and

re-inspect periodically in case raised edges appear with continued use.

WARNING: The mower blades are sharp. Wear gloves when

performing this procedure, and keep ﬁngers away from the interface

between the cutting reel blades and stationary blade.

To avoid further damage, repair any ding that causes the cutting reel

and stationary blade to touch as quickly as possible. With care, any

ding found can be repaired with little or no impact on your mower’s cutting

performance. Before beginning, get a narrow, ﬁne ﬁle (like the one found

in the Fiskars Tool Care Kit, Model 7862) and position the mower on a ﬁrm,

level surface with blocked rear wheels to ensure that it cannot roll forward.

To remove the ding, ﬁle away only enough of the raised material to allow

the cutting reel to spin without making contact with the stationary blade.

File with long, straight strokes perpendicular

to the cutting edge of the blade, trying to

avoid removing material from the cutting

edge itself. When the raised edges are ﬁled

down, check the cutting gap as described in

Checking Cutting Performance on page 10.

WARNING: The mower blades are sharp. Wear gloves when

performing this procedure, and keep ﬁngers away from the interface

between the cutting reel blades and stationary blade.

ATTENTION: Do not use a power tool to repair blades. Too much steel

will be removed, resulting in severe blade damage and greatly reduced

cutting performance.

To Maintain Peak Cutting Performance. Your reel mower features a

non-contact StaySharp

™

Cutting System that cuts grass without the reel

and stationary blades actually touching. Under normal usage conditions,

StaySharp

™

blades should stay sharp for the life of the mower. In the

unlikely event that the blades on a heavily used reel mower begin to

show signs of wear, Fiskars recommends backlapping to restore the

blade edges (backlapping compound available in Fiskars’ Blade

Maintenance Kit, Model 6215).

ATTENTION: Fiskars does not recommend sharpening your reel mower.

The equipment and processes used in home sharpening kits, and even by

many professional sharpeners, will likely not be able to achieve the strict

tolerances required to maintain the non-contact nature of the StaySharp

™

Cutting System.

Cutting Reel Bearings (A): Spray lubricant on both ends of the cutting reel

shaft where the grey cutting reel meets the black side plate.

Cut-height Adjustment: Spray lubricant in each of the adjustment holes (B) as

well as on the pin (C) that will be visible when the knob is pulled out.

Rear Wheel Axle Bolts (D): Spray lubricant on the rear wheel axle bolts on the

inside between the swing arm cover (E).

Front Wheel Axle Bolts: Use a ﬂathead screwdriver to carefully pry off the

orange hubcap (F). Apply lubricant around the axle bolt.

Hint: It is recommended that a silicone-based lubricant be used.

A lubricant that leaves a dry ﬁlm instead of an oily or tacky surface

is recommended in order to keep dirt, dust and grass clippings

from sticking to the reel blades.
