E. Assembling the Mantis Reel Mower
1. Checking all parts are included
The Mantis Reel Mower box contains the following parts:
• Mantis Reel Mower
• 1 battery
• 1 upper section of the guide handle
• 1 middle section of the guide handle
• 1 lower section of the guide handle
• Assembly parts for the guide handle in a plastic bag
• 1 Charger LG 24 (24 Volt)
• 1 thickness gauge
• Operating instructions
2. Assembling the guide handle (Fig. A – M)
1. Tilt your Hand Lawnmower so that the black rollers face
upwards (Fig. B/C). Fit the lower section of the guide
handle (5) so that the drilled holes (10) are over handle
bolts (11) (Fig. B). Note: Make sure that the groove in the
drilled hole (10) and the locking tab of the handle bolt
(11) meet (Fig. D). WARNING! Do not use excessive
force. First ensure that the recess in the handle and the lug
of the bolt are in alignment and then fix together.
2. Continue assembling the guide handle as follows using
the black central connecting section: Disassemble the
central connecting section (27) (referred to as the "node"
from now on). The front and rear sides of the node are
fastened together by a clip lock to prevent them from
springing open. The clip lock can be found in the recess
on the back of the node. For easier disassembly, release
the clip lock by pushing it outwards. Press the four nuts
into the recesses in the rear section of the node (the side
without the Mantis logo). Gently press in the four nuts so
that they are inserted properly and do not fall out of the
recesses when the node is turned over (Fig. E). Turn the
mower so that the rollers rest on the ground. Prepare the
top and middle sections of the guide handle so that the
sections of the handle overlap as shown in the assembly
diagram (Fig. F). Hold the rear section of the node so that
the grass catcher holder (28) faces upwards and guide the
cable through the cable duct on the left side of the node
(Fig. G) (viewed from below. Pay attention to the length
of the cable!). Now insert both sections of the handle
according to the recesses (Fig. H). Attach the front section
of the node to the rear section of the node. Make sure that
you hear the clip lock snap into place and screw together
both parts of the node using the bolts provided (Fig. I/K).
3. Now attach the middle and top sections of the guide
handle using the bolts and wing nuts provided (Fig. L/M).
WARNING! The cable must not hang down near the
cutting cylinder.
3. Setting the cutting height (Fig. N/O)
Set the cutting height on the Mantis Reel Mower
as follows:
1. Stand the Hand Lawnmower on a flat, solid surface.
2. Position yourself in front of the cutting height scale of
the Mantis Reel Mower (Fig. N).
WARNING! TO PREVENT INJURY,
NEVER SET THE CUTTING HEIGHT WHEN
THE MOTOR IS RUNNING.
