MAINTENANCE

8.1 Winter storage

The robotic lawnmower

The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully before putting it away for the winter. See 8.4 Cleaning on page 72.

To guarantee battery functionality and service life, it is very important to fully charge the robotic lawnmower before storing it away for the winter. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station with the hatch open until the battery icon in the display shows that the battery is fully charged. Then set the main switch to 0.

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

Store the robotic lawnmower in a dry, frost-free environment. A wall bracket specially designed for Automower® robotic lawnmowers and charging stations is available. The wall bracket works great for winter storage. Contact your dealer for more information.

The robotic lawnmower must be charged 1 to 3 times during the winter to increase the battery’s service life, depending on how long the winter season is. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station (the charging station can be indoors and disconnected from the boundary loop) and set the main switch to 1. Make sure the cover to the robotic lawnmower is open and let it charge for an hour. Then remove the robotic lawnmower from the charging station and turn the main switch to 0. Do not charge at temperatures below 0°C.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The battery must be charged fully before winter storage. If the battery is not fully charged it can be damaged and in certain cases be rendered useless.

The charging station

Store the charging station and transformer indoors. The boundary loop and the guide wire can be left in the ground. The ends of the wires should be protected from damp by connecting them to an original coupler or putting them in a container with grease for instance.

If it is not possible to store the charging station indoors, the charging station must be connected to the mains, the boundary wire and the guide wires the entire winter.
