Changing Accu:

	1.	Unhook upright and clean cylinder mower.
	2.	Check cylinder O and lower blade P for notches and remove
		these with a grindstone if necessary.
O	3. Unscrew internal hexagon screws Q with an internal hexagon
		wrench (5 mm) anticlockwise until the cylinder O turns freely.
R	4. Push the feeler gauge supplied (thin strip of metal) R
		between one blade O on the cylinder and the lower blade P.
	5.	Tighten left internal hexagon screw Q with an internal
P		hexagon wrench (5 mm) until the feeler gauge R is held
		gently.

6.Continue turning the cylinder until the blade O, already adjusted on the left side, is exactly above the lower blade P on the right side.

7.Tighten the right internal hexagon screw Q with an internal hexagon wrench (5 mm) until the feeler gauge R is held gently.

8.Rotate cylinder O. If a banging noise is produced during this, open up the internal hexagon screw Q slightly on the side

affected. When the cylinder and the lower blade can hardly be O heard touching each other, the cutting mechanism has been

adjusted correctly.

9.Cutting test:

S	Place a strip of paper S in such a way on the lower blade P
	that it points towards the spindle of the cylinder O.
P	10. Turn cylinder O carefully. If the lower blade is set correctly P
	the paper will be cut off as if with scissors.

11. Repeat the cutting test on the other blades O.

If the Accu capacity is completely exhausted or if the Accu can C no longer be recharged it must be exchanged. New Accus are

available directly from GARDENA Service.

If you have any problem with your cylinder mower, please contact our Customer Service.
