8.1. Maintenance
GB
Maintenance includes all jobs
which keep your Accu Hand
Lawnmower in perfect working
order. By regularly checking
the unit (firm seating of screw
connections, cracks, damage)
and replacing defective or worn
parts you can prevent accidents
and failure.
Repairs may only be carried
out by Brill service centres or
dealers authorised by Brill.
Before cleaning and set-
A
ting the Hand Lawnmower,
switch off the motor and remove
the PowerAccu to prevent star-
ting the motor unintentionally.
8.2. The PowerAccu (fig. P)
Charging the PowerAccu
Note : Only charge the
A
PowerAccu with the
charger supplied ! Using other
charging units could lead to da-
mage and injury. Using
a charger other than the Brill
charger supplied releases Brill
from all liability and warranty
claims.
We recommend charging the
PowerAccu immediately after
using your mower using the
supplied charger (21).
Important ! Never charge
A
the Accu after having been
heated up by operation or sun.
Let cool down first.
Never expose the Accu to direct
sunlight while charging.
Never charge the Accu anywhere
near acids and easily inflamm-
able materials. Danger of fire!
Note : Do not wait until the
Accu is completely flat before
recharging.
Charge the PowerAccu in a
dry place as follows (fig. P) :
24
1. Open the cover of the har-
ness compartment (13).
2. Pull the PowerAccu (20) out
of the contact bar.
3. Plug the plug (22) of the
charger into the charging
socket (23).
4. Then plug the charger (21)
into the mains socket.
5. To resume mowing after
charging the PowerAccu,
proceed as described in
section 6.2.
Important :
Protect the charging socket
(23) against dirt and moisture.
If the PowerAccu capacity is
so low that the Hand Lawn-
mower switches off automa-
tically then the charging time
is 24 hours.
The Accu should be stored at a
dry, elevated, frost-free, locked
up place, where children have
no access. Avoid direct sunlight.
Always disconnect the Power-
Accu from tools before storing
to avoid improper use and
accidents.
Make sure the surface and the
contacts of the PowerAccu al-
ways are clean and dry before
connecting the charging unit.
When dirty clean them with a
soft, dry rag; never use running
water.
If you do not use the PowerAccu
for long periods of time, please
charge it again before using.
Since a gradual self-discharge
occurs, charge the Accu com-
pletely before initial use after
longer periods of storage.
8.3. The Accu Hand Lawnmower
Cleaning
To avoid injury to persons
A
and material damage :
Never clean your Accu Hand
Lawnmower with running water,
in particular with water under
high pressure.
After using the mower clean
with a moist cloth. Spray the
cutting cylinder and lower blade
with an oil of low viscosity
(e.g. spray oil).
Maintenance
The blades, which if cared for
properly must only be sharpened
after years, can only be sharp-
ened by Brill due to the special
sharpening technique.
The mower may only be repaired
and the cutting blades may only
be installed by approved special-
ist workshops.
Note : Ensure that all nuts, bolts
and screws are tight and that the
mower is in good working order.
For safety reasons, allow all
worn out and damaged parts
to be exchanged by Brill Service
or authorised specialist dealers.
To avoid injury and damage to
the mower we recommend you
have your mower checked in
autumn so that it is ready and
safe to use next season.
Storage
Store your Accu Hand Lawn-
mower in a dry, cool place
where it is protected from frost.
The mower should be stored
out of the reach of children.
8.4. Readjusting the cutting tool
(fig. V/W)
The cutting tool of your Accu
Hand Lawnmower was set at an
optimum setting before leaving
our factory. However, if the cut
is not clean after using your
mower for a longer period of
time, please correct the setting
of the lower blade as follows:
