8.2 Winter storage

Automower™

Automower must be carefully cleaned before winter storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 71.

Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Turn the main switch to the OFF position. Store the mower horizontally on all four wheels in an area that is dry and free from frost, 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 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 clean the mower thoroughly, test its function and components as well as replace wear parts if necessary. If new functions have been added during the year your dealer can also load Automower with new software.

8.4 After winter storage

Check whether Automower, contact strips and charging strips need to be cleaned before using. If the charging or contact strips appear to be burnt, clean them using fine grade emery cloth. Check that the mower’s time and date are correct.
