8. MAINTENANCE

8.4 After winter storage

During a service the dealer can clean the mower thoroughly, test its function and components as well as replace wear parts if necessary. If the charging or contact strips appear to be burnt, clean them using fine grade emery cloth. Check that the mower’s time and date are correct.

8.5 Cleaning

It is important to keep Automower® clean. A mower with a large amount of clippings negotiates slopes very poorly.

Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean Automower®.

We recommend a brush and spray with water.

Underframe and blade disc

1. Set the main switch to the OFF position.

2. Wear protective gloves.

3.Lift Automower® onto its side.

4.Clean the blade disc and underframe using, e.g. a dish-brush.

At the same time, check that the blade disc rotates freely in relation to the motor support, directly above. Check also that the skid plate rotates freely in relation to the blade disc.

If long blades of grass or other objects work their way in this can brake the blade disc and/or skid plate. Even a slight braking effect leads to a higher consumption of energy and longer mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the mower from being able to mow a large lawn. If more thorough cleaning is necessary the skid plate, and possibly the blade disc, must be dismantled. If necessary, contact your dealer.
