8. Maintenance

8.1 Battery

The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited life span of 1 - 3 years.

Battery life is dependent on the length of the season and how many hours per day the Automower is used. A long season or many hours of use per day, means that the battery must be replaced more regularly.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Charge the battery fully at the end of the season before winter storage.

8.2 Winter storage

Automower

Automower must be carefully cleaned before winter storage. This is best left to your dealer.

Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Turn the main switch to the OFF position. Store the mower indoors, horizontally on all four wheels and preferably in the original packaging.

Charging station

If possible store the charging station, transformer and low voltage cable indoors. The boundary wire can be left in the ground. If the charging station is taken in you should protect the ends of the boundary wire from moisture by placing them, for example, in a tin with anhydrous grease. If indoor storage is not possible the boundary wire should remain connected. The charging station should remain connected to the mains supply.

8.3 Service

Take your Automower to a dealer for a service before winter storage.

During a service the dealer can perform careful cleaning and at the same time test the mower’s functions and components. If new functions have been added during the year your dealer can also load Automower with new software.
