Electrolux ELECTRIC WHEELED Rotary Lawnmower - Manual (Page 6)

Cutting Height (Without Levers)
If your lawnmower has wheel hubs as illustrated
in Fig P1, the height of cut is adjusted by
following steps P1-P3. 1. Remove the wheel by turning the wheel hub in
an anticlockwise direction (P1) and relocate in
new hole (P2) turning the wheel hub in a
clockwise direction to tighten (P3). Repeat for
other wheels adjusting to the same position.
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.
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 (R).
2. Remove the blade bolt, blade, and fan.
3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.
Fitting the Blade and Fan

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.
IMPORTANT - USE GLOVES

height of cut is altered by pulling the adjustment
lever away from the location slots and moving to
the selected position (Q1).

Starting and Stopping
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 (N).
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, will help reduce motor overload and
will help prevent damage to your lawnmower.
