8. MAINTENANCE

8.2 Winter storage

Automower®

Automower® must be carefully cleaned before winter storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 63.

Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Turn the main switch to the OFF position.

It is also recommended to fully charge the battery at some time during the winter to increase the battery life. The charging station must then be connected to a 230 V wall socket via the low voltage cable and transformer (with or without connecting the boundary wire). Now place the mower in the charging station with the main switch set to ON and check that the control panel cover is open. The charger should be charged for about 24 hours. Remove the mower from the charging station and turn OFF main switch.

Store the mower standing on all four wheels in a dry and frost-free environment, 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

Leave your Automower® to a dealer for service prior to winter storage. This is essential in order to keep the mower in a good condition.

Service usually includes the following:

•Thorough cleaning of body, chassis, blade disc, skid plate and all other moving parts.

•Testing of the mower’s function and components.

•Checking of wear components such as mower blades and bearings.

•Testing of the mower’s battery capacity as well as a recommendation of change if necessary.

•Relubrication of both chassis halves of the mower in order to maintain moisture and wetness resistance.

•If necessary the dealer can also load Automower® with new software, possibly including newly added features.
