When to sharpen?
Your reel mower is designed to give many years of
service with a minimal amount of maintenance.
Sharp blades are essential to efficient mower opera-
tion and to optimal lawn health. There are many
factors that determine how often you need to
sharpen your reel mower, including the size and
condition of the lawn, proper storage and use of the
mower, especially taking care to avoid mowing over
sticks, stones or other lawn debris. When your
mower is sharp it will be easy to push and will leave
a clean cut straight across the blades of grass. When
it starts to become dull, you may notice that it is
becoming more difficult to push and the ends of the
grass blades will start to be a little ragged. For best
results, sharpen the blades before they become ex-
tremely dull..
1. Choose a stable work surface of a comfortable
height, that is well-lighted and free of debris.
2. Wear heavy leather gloves and keep fingers
away from blades at all times.
3. Keep children out of work area and away from
mower.
4. Wear protective eye gear when using power
tools.
5. Secure mower to work surface when using
power tools.
6. Be sure that blades have stopped moving before
removing power tool adapter, applying compound or
touching blades.
7. Mascot, Inc. is not responsible for any injuries

Hand Crank Instructions
1. Place the mower on a work table, the ground or
other solid surface.
2. If sharpening a push mower, start with the
mower in a normal mowing position, then push the
handle down so that the mower is resting on the
upper handle and the roller. If sharpening a gang
reel mower, remove the mower head from the gang
frame.
3. Remove the hub caps, using a screw driver for
plastic hub caps, or an Allen wrench for Agri-Fab
gang reel metal hub caps.
4. Remove wheel by removing e-clip and pulling
off wheel.
5. Using snap ring pliers included in kit, remove
snap ring from pinion gear, then remove the pinion
gear. As you remove the pinion gear, be careful not
to lose the ratchet pawl, the small flat metal piece
that is in the shaft where the pinion gear was.
6. Place crank handle over end of reel shaft and
ratchet pawl.
7. Adjust the cutter bar so that the cutter bar blade
has light but firm contact with the reel blades across
the full width of the bar.
8. Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on
reel blades using the brush provided with your kit.
9. Crank the reel blades backwards until the
blades rotate relatively freely. Check the reel blades
for smooth, even complete grind. Reel blades will
be evenly polished when lapping is completed.
10. Replace pinion gear, retaining ring, wheel, e-
clip and hub cap.
11. Using an absorbent cloth and a solution of wa-
ter and household cleaner, thoroughly clean lapping
compound residue from the blades.
12. Spray the blades with WD-40.
13. Adjust the cutter bar until it passes the paper
test described in your mower owner’s manual.

even complete grind. Reel blades will be evenly polished
when lapping is completed.
