8. MAINTENANCE

8. Maintenance

Check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improve operating reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For further information on cleaning, see 8.3 Cleaning.

When the robotic lawnmower is first used, the blade disc and blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount of wear during this period has been low, the inspection interval can be increased.

It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The edges of the blades should not be damaged. The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for instance on:

•Operating time and size of the working area.

•Type of grass.

•Type of soil.

•The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.

The normal life is 2 to 4 months when used in areas more than 300 m2 in size and longer for smaller areas. See 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 60 on how to replace the blades.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Working with dull blades gives a poorer mowing result. The edges of the grass are not cut clean and more energy is needed resulting in the robotic lawnmower not mowing such a large area.

8.1 Winter storage

Robotic lawnmower

The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully before putting it away for the winter. See

8.3Cleaning on page 59.

Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Then set the main switch to 0.

Check the condition of wear items such as blades and bearings in the rear wheel. Rectify if necessary to make sure the robotic lawnmower is in good condition prior to next season.

Store the robotic lawnmower upright in a dry area free from frost, preferably in the mower's original packaging.
