8. MAINTENANCE

8.1 Winter storage

R40Li

The R40Li must be cleaned carefully before putting it away for the winter. See 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 53.

Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Then set the main switch to 0.

Check the condition of wear items such as knives and bearings in the rear wheels. Rectify if necessary to make sure the mower is in good condition prior to next season.

Store the mower upright in a dry area free from frost, preferably in the mower's original packaging.

Charging station

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

8.2 After winter storage

Check if cleaning is needed, particularly the charging strips on both the mower and the charging station, on the first time of use. If they appear to be burnt or coated, clean them using a fine grade emery cloth. Check that the mower’s time and date are correct.
