7. MAINTENANCE
7.2 Winter storage
Automower™
Automower must be carefully cleaned before winter storage, see 7.4 Cleaning on page 39.
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.
Loop generator/charger
If possible store the loop generator/charger indoors. The boundary wire can be left in the ground. If the loop generator/charger 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 and the loop generator/charger should remain connected to the mains supply.
