8. MAINTENANCE

Body

Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body. If the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up liquid.

Take special care to keep the two ultrasonic sensors clean from dust and dirt at all times. When the sensors are covered in dirt (i.e. the sensors are not functioning), the mower will run at a much lower speed than normal in order to avoid hard collisions. The low speed could mean that the mower does not have time to finish mowing the designated area.

8.6 Replacing the blades

WARNING

Always use originalblades and screws when replacing.

Only replacing the blades and reusing the screw can result in the screw wearing during mowing and shearing off. The blades can then be thrown out and cause serious injury.

On Automower® five blades are screwed onto the blade disc. All five blades and screws must be replaced at the same time to ensure the cutting system is balanced.

There are several different types of mower blades to choose from as accessories, with different features. Use Husqvarna AB approved blades only. Please contact your dealer for more information.

To replace the blades:

1.Set the main switch to the OFF position.

2.Wear protective gloves.

3.Turn Automower® upside down.

4.Rotate the skid plate so that its hole aligns with the screw for the blade.

5.Unscrew the blade. Use a straight slot or cross-tip screwdriver.

6.Pry apart the skid plate and blade disc a little and remove the blade and screw.

7.Screw tight the new blade.

8.7 Transport and moving

Secure the machine during transport. It is important that the Automower® does not move around while being transported e.g. between different grass areas. There is an Automower® bag (522 91 66-01) designed especially to facilitate transport. Please contact your dealer for more information.
