• 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 reel revolutions. Lower throttle setting
= lower number of engine revolutions = slower drive and lower number of reel 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 to activate the clutch and put the machine in motion.
• The right lever controls the clutch of the mowing blades.
• The safety lock 6of the reel 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-release 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 inches.
Use the throttle lever 5 19
on the engine to the “0” position.
The engine running-in process is completed after
5 hours of work. It is necessary to change the
engine oil. Follow the instructions on page 15.
For the detailed engine maintenance description,
see the Briggs&Stratton engine manual, which is
part of the package.

Regenerative cartridges - product description and use
Verticutter cartridge
steel rotating blades. The denser a lawn is, the more it needs verticutting.
We recommend to verticut the lawn 3 - 5x per year during the grass season,
ensure absorption into the soil and to the roots of the lawn. At the same time
the grass sods are being broken, increased water absorption and supports the growth of grass sprouts and growth of
the new plants. By breaking the surface of the soil, the circulation of the air in the soil will be restored. The surface
will also have better access to sunlight. All of these positive procedures result in thicker and healthier lawn.
Verticutting must be performed at high speed in order for the blades to cut correctly. When using Edwin, you can
increase the power using the throttle lever on the handlebar. When using the Electra, use the regeneration mode.
See the mower‘s user’s manual for more information.
If the lawn is very thick and full of thatch, we recommend double verticutting in two direction crossways.
Never carry out the verticutting if the lawn is soaked or too dry. The lawn does not need to be verticut all over its area.
The steel blades of the verticutter are subject to normal wear and can be replaced with new ones when worn and not
functioning. Spare parts are available in the e-shop at www.swardman.com

Rotary brush
The rotary brush is used for the application of sand and material, which usually
follows the aeration. The sand can also be incorporated into a lawn that has
aerated lawn.
sand does not form accumulated hills. An uneven terrain can be levelled by
repeating the sand application.
For best results, we recommend using dry and loose sand. Wet sand is not
suitable for rotary brush application.
Note: The working depth of the verticutting cartridge mentioned above is indicative. The actual working depth
decreases with increasing the soil hardness and in case of solid particles such as stones which can also damage the
verticutter blades.
