Watch this video for support with changing the blade on the LawnMaster Hover Mower.

The cutting height can be adjusted by adding or removing spacers.

The hover mower comes with one spacer pre-fitted and can be set to 4 cutting heights between 12mm and 33mm.

Choose the appropriate cutting height according to the condition of your grass.

Watch the video below to see how to change the cutting height of your LawnMaster Hover Mower.

Using the Mulch Mode

Switching your mower to mulch mode stops the mower from collecting the cut grass and instead deposits the clippings onto the lawn surface. The clippings drop to the soil level and degrade, returning nutrients back to the lawn and the grass roots. Keeping your lawn healthy.

Mulch mode is especially good at tackling long grass.

When tackling longer grass, cut the grass once in mulch mode then cut the lawn again in collect mode. This is easier and faster than trying to cut and collect very long grass in one go.

Mulching works best when grass is cut frequently because this will produce smaller grass clippings that more easily drop to the soil level and degrade returning nutrients back to the lawn and the grass roots.

In dense grass growth, mow the grass using half the available width of your lawn mower, this will reduce load on the lawn mower.

An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when the mower is running. Left unresolved, this vibration could eventually damage the mower's motor.

To check the blade balance:

1. Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vice. If you don't have a vice, use a straight nail instead.

2. Place the centre hole of blade over the screwdriver (or nail).

3. If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops downward, sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced. Or replace the blade.

4. Always check that the blade bolt is tight and re-tighten if it is loose.

The MEH1836-01 hover mower has a 10 meter power cable.

The motor protector has been activated.

Allow the motor to cool and increase the height of cut.

This can be caused by a build up of grass clipping on the underside of the hover mover deck, causing it to clog.

Check underneath the mower and scrape off the dried mulch with the plastic scraper supplied with the mower.

The grass box is translucent to display the grass level, so you know when to empty your hover mower.

This can be due the grass being too long for the hover mower. Cut long grass down in stages by gradually lowering the height of cut.
This could also be due to the grass being too wet. Wait for wet grass to dry before trying to cut the lawn.

The MEH1836-01 hover mower has a belt drive system which links the blade to the motor.

This belt is designed to be sacrificial and may slip or break if the motor is put under heavy load (e.g. cutting very long grass on a low height of cut).

To avoid belt slippage and breakage, always cut long grass down in stages starting with a higher height of cut.

Grass over 10cm high should first be cut shorter with a grass trimmer.
