8. Maintenance
Check and clean Husqvarna Automower® regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improve operating reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For further information on cleaning, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 67.
During the initial period Automower® is used the blade disc, skid plate and blades should be checked once a week. If the amount of wear during this period has been low, the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. In addition the skid plate should rotate easily in relation to the blade disc. The edges of the blades should not be damaged. The service life of the blades depends on:
•Operating time and size of the working area.
•Type of grass.
•Type of soil.
•The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The service life can vary greatly, but is normally
1,000 m2 and longer in smaller areas. To replace the blades, see 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 68.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer mowing result. The edges of the grass are not cut clean and more energy is needed resulting in Automower® not mowing such a large area.

Battery life is dependent on the length of the season and how many hours per day Automower® is used. A long season or many hours of use per day, means that the battery must be replaced more regularly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Charge the battery fully at the end of the season before winter storage.
