Flymo RE420c Lawn Mower User Manual


 
How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the
power point so that the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut (T).
2. Mow twice a week in the growing season, your lawn
will suffer if more that one third of its length is cut at
one time and this may also result in poor collection.
Please Note
Do not overload your Lawnmower
When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the
cutting height adjusted to its highest setting, (see
Cutting Height Adjustment), will help reduce motor
overload and will help prevent damage to your lawn-
mower.

Removing the Blade and Fan
1. To remove the blade bolt, hold the fan firmly and
with the spanner provided loosen the blade bolt by
turning it anti-clockwise (U).
2. Remove the blade bolt, blade, and fan.
3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.
Fitting the Blade and Fan
1. Ensure the fan is located correctly (V).
2. Fit the blade to the fan with the sharp edges pointing
away from the fan.
3. Re-assemble blade bolt through blade and fan.
4. Hold the fan firmly and tighten blade bolt firmly with
a spanner. Do not over tighten.
Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges
could cause injury. USE GLOVES. Renew your
metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years
whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. If
the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a
new one. Never use a blade bolt if the insulated
head is damaged cracked or missing.
