The cutting gear of your cylinder mower was optimally adjusted
before leaving our company. If, after longer use,
a clean cut of the grass is no longer possible or the blade roller
contacts the lower blade, then the lower blade should be
adjusted as follows:
1. Clean the cylinder mower.
2. Lay the mower onto the ground, so that it cannot fall over
when adjusting the cutting mechanism.
3. Check cylinder
these with a grindstone if necessary.
4. Unscrew the left and right hexagon screws
e
wrench (10 mm) anticlockwise until the blade cylinder
only just turn freely.
5. Carefully tighten the left hexagon screw
wrench (10 mm) whilst the blade cylinder
lightly contacts the lower blade
6. Then unscrew the left hexagon screw again until the blade
cylinder just stops contacting the lower blade (rotates sound-
lessly).
7. Repeat the process on the right-hand side.
8. Cutting test:
Place a strip of paper
that it points towards the spindle of the cylinder
9. Turn cylinder
If the lower blade is set correctly
if with scissors.
10. Repeat the cutting test at different positions and on all blades
on the blade cylinder
On safety grounds, only original GARDENA spares
may be used.
Please contact GARDENA Service if it is necessary to replace
the cutting tool, which will only become blunt after several years
use if well-maintained. Repairs to the cylinder mower and the
installation of the blades can be undertaken by suitable specialist
workshops.
Have the cylinder mower checked over in the autumn if possible
so that it is ready for use immediately when the next lawn-mowing
season starts.
For any other malfunctions please contact the GARDENA service
department.
