TROUBLE SHOOTING
The panel can still work despite one of the segments being damaged, but then gives a lower capacity. This can mean that the machine frequently stands still and charges, even on very sunny days. Or the lawn mower can stand still and beep once every 10 seconds, which is the night mode signal, despite it being the middle of the day.
No objects should be placed on top the panels for these to give maximum electrical energy. Panels should be cleaned using a damp sponge and a soap solution/hand washing up detergent when surfaces are dusty or dirty and during the pollen season or with similar daily soiling.
Great care should be exercised when handling the panels due to their low weight and fragility. This is especially important when the lawn mower is turned upside down, e.g. when the cutting height needs to be adjusted (see the diagram below).
!WARNING!
The blades are extremely sharp. Always wear protective gloves when working with the blades or cutting disc.
Motor and cutting disc
A 12V AC motor with controlled speed (max 2500 r/min) is used as the cutting motor. The cables from the motor are connected to connector X1 on the terminals
The speed measurement is made to “measure“ the length of the grass (mowing resistance).
If the mowing resistance momentary exceeds the mean value for the last few minutes the lawn mower can move in a spiral pattern, to mow areas that have longer grass than average.
When the lower mower senses a drastic reduction in the mowing resistance, or if an obstacle comes in its way, it returns to its normal movement pattern.
The cutting height can be adjusted variably between
The cutting disc is bolted to the cutting motor’s shaft and holds 3 blades thrown out by centrifugal force.
These blades are mounted in blade holders (coloured red) to allow them to be easily attached to or dismantled from the cutting disc. The design of the blade holders ensures that the blades are well secured if a collision with small objects, e.g. twigs on the lawn, should occur.
