Assembling the Lawn Mower
Checking the Cylinder Adjustment
Take the mower out of the box. The best way is to carefully cut the box from its front face and push the mower out.
Do not ever use the handle on the mowing cartridge for lifting the mower or its transport.
Regularly check adjustment of the cylinder against the bed-knife before each mowing. When adjusting, use the 8 mm
wrench. Mower with 45 cm (18in) cutting width has 2 adjusting screws on the cylinder and 55 cm (22in) cutting width
has 3 adjusting screws.
1. Straighten the handlebars
1. If the cylinder does not
provide smooth cut mowing,
tighten up the adjusting
screws 25 clockwise.
Proceed carefully by
tightening them by approx.
10°. If required, repeat the
procedure.
2. Close the petrol supply.
3. Tilt the machine onto
the handlebars for only
necessary time period. High
possibility of oil spillage!
4. Insert a piece of paper in
front of the bed-knife 26 and
carefully turn the cylinder
with your other hand.
5. If the paper has been cut by all
the blades in whole width, the
cylinder is adjusted. A light
touch of cylinder blades with
the bedknife is normal.
2. Secure with screws 3. Adjust position and angle of

An excessive pressure between the cylinder and the bed-
knife will result in an excessive wear of blades as well as
the driving belt. When properly adjusted, the cylinder
should turn smoothly.

into the yellow plug hole (front and rear holes are identical) 15 (A or B). The can contains 0.4 l of oil, pour its entire
contents into the engine. Check the level using a closure gauge.
2. Pour unleaded gasoline with octane rating 98 or higher and with low-ethanol blends of 5% into the fuel tank
3(B). The fuel tank has a capacity of 1.6 litres.
3. Open the fuel supply to the engine. Turn the lever 17 (C) downwards to the position „on“.
4. Start – turn the button 23 (D) on the engine to the “I” position. Turn the choke lever 19 (E) to the forward position
(see Fig. 3).
5. Turn the throttle lever 5to the “START” position (see Fig. 4) or in the middle position for cold start. Grasp the
starter cord 21 (F) and yank it to start the engine.
6. If the engine fails to start after three attempts, check adjustments according to the above points.
7. If the engine starts, turn the choke lever 19 (E) to the intermediate position. After approx. 30 seconds, turn the
choke lever 19 (E) towards you (see Fig. 3).
8. Stopping the engine – set the button 23 (D) to the “0” position. The engine shall stop running.
• The throttle lever 5controls the engine revolutions and primarily serves for speed control. Use it to control
the machine speed - both the drive speed and the mowing blades revolutions. Higher throttle setting = higher
number of engine revolutions = faster drive and higher number of cylinder revolutions. Lower throttle setting
= lower number of engine revolutions = slower drive and lower number of cylinder revolutions. Number of
cuts per meter and cut quality remain unchanged. However, it is not recommended to use the minimum engine
revolutions that could cause an excessive engine load, in particular during verticutating or scarifying.
• The left lever 8controls the sensitive clutch of the machine drive and secondarily serves for speed control, e.g.
during a change in travel direction. Push it to speed up the machine and vice versa. Slowly and softly push the left
lever of drive (the right lever for the left-hand control) to activate the clutch and put the machine in motion.
• The right lever (the left lever for the left-hand control) 9controls the clutch of the mowing blades.
• The safety lock 6of the cylinder prevents the mowing blades from being started unintentionally. When locked,
the right lever 9cannot be operated.
Mowing height can be adjusted with the control lever on the left side of the machine. To change the height adjustment,
proceed as follows:
1. The mowing height is locked with the screw 24 in the right-hand side plate; the screw moves along a groove. Before
changing the mowing height, slightly loosen the locking screw.
2. Loosen the quick-acting bolt 13 .
3. Adjust the mowing height by moving the lever 12 forwards to decrease and rearwards to increase the mowing
height.
4. After the required height has been achieved, retighten the quick-acting bolt as well as the locking screw. This shall
ensure the constant mowing height over the total machine width.
Next to the control lever for mowing height adjustment, there is an orientation scale with an indicator 14 . The scale
shows the mowing height in millimeters.
Use the throttle lever 5to decrease the engine revolutions to minimum (START position) and turn the button 23 (D)
on the engine to the “0” position.
The engine running-in process is completed after
8 hours of work. It is necessary to change the
engine oil. Follow the instructions on page 14.

A quality lawn depends on properly adjusted mowing blades. Adjust every time you notice the machine is not mowing
well. Perform a preventive check of adjustment before each mowing. (For better illustration, see the video manual at
www.swardman.com.)
Adjust as follows (shown in the paragraph - Checking the Cylinder Adjustment (page 10)):
1. Stop the machine engine
2. Disconnect the spark plug
3. Let the engine cool down
4. Put on protective gloves
5.
6. Close the fuel cock 17
7. Tilt the machine onto the handlebars
8. Take a strip of plain paper and the 8 mm wrench
9. Kneel down in front of the mower
10. Gripping the paper strip in one hand, simulate a blade of grass and bring it perpendicularly before the bed-knife
11. Turn the cylinder with your other hand so that the paper is cut - be very careful - the mowing blades can cause
painful injuries even at a low speed

point, the machine is adjusted correctly.
13. If the paper has not been cut or the cut has not been smooth, it is necessary to draw the bed-knife up towards
the cylinder.
14. To do so, use the wrench on the blade adjustment nut 25 and slightly turn the nut clockwise.
15. Repeat the check using another piece of paper. Repeat this process until the cylinder cuts perfectly over the total
width.
16. If the mowing system has been used for a prolonged period (depending on the mowing intensity and dimensions
no longer helps to achieve a smooth cut, the mowing blades must be sharpened. How to have the mowing blades
sharpened, visit the Swardman e-shop in the Service Section.
17. You can lubricate the cylinder blade with organic oil after each mowing to protect the blade against corrosion and
reduce any noise and friction at the same time.
