when the blades (17) are rotated manually, they should make slight contact with
the lower cutting blade.
If the contact between the blades (17) and lower cutting blade (18) is too loose,
the cutting is rough and uneven.
If the contact between the blades (17) and lower cutting blade (18) is too tight, the
mower will be difficult to push and noisy.
The lower cutting blade (18) is pre-set at the factory. However, it may need to be
adjusted after using for a period of time.
Turn the adjustment nuts (16) on both sides clockwise to move the lower cutting
blade (18) towards the blades (17).
Turn the adjustment nuts (16) on both sides anti-clockwise to move the lower
cutting blade (18) away from the blades (17).
