8. MAINTENANCE

8.4 Cleaning

It is important to keep Automower® clean. A mower with large amounts of grass stuck to it will not cope as well with slopes. It is recommended to clean using a brush and a spray with water

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean Automower®. Solvent must never be used when cleaning.

Underframe and blade disc

1.Set the main switch to the 0 position.

2. Wear protective gloves.

3. Lift Automower® onto its side.

4.Clean the blade disc and underframe using,

e.g. a dish-brush.

At the same time, check that the blade disc rotates freely in relation to the foot protection cover.

If long blades of grass or other objects find their way in, these may impede the blade disc. Even a slight braking effect leads to a higher consumption of energy and longer mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the mower from being able to mow a large lawn. The blade disk must be removed to carry out a more thorough cleaning. If necessary, contact your dealer.

Chassis

Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with a damp cloth.

Wheels

Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as well as the rear wheel support unit.
