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. See 8.4 Cleaning on page 55.
When Automower® is first used, the blade disc and blades should be inspected 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. The edges of the blades should not be damaged. The product life of the blades varies immensely and depends for instance 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 normal life is 1 to 3 months when used in areas more than 300 m2 in size and longer for smaller areas. See 8.7 Blades on page 56 on how to replace the blades.
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.
