MAINTENANCE
8 Maintenance
For better operating reliability and longer service life: check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary. See 8.4 Cleaning on page 72 for more details on 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 6 weeks when used in areas more than 1,000 m2 in size and longer for smaller areas. See 8.7 Blades on page 74 on how to replace the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer mowing result. The grass is not cut clean- ly and more energy is needed resulting in the robotic lawnmower not mowing such a large area.
