8. MAINTENANCE
8. Maintenance
Check and clean the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improved operating reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For more information on cleaning, see
8.4Cleaning on page 57.
When the robotic lawnmower 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 lifetime 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 0.075 acre (300 m2) in size and longer for smaller areas. See 8.7 Blades on page 59 on how to replace the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more energy is needed resulting in the robotic lawnmower not mowing such a large area.
8.1 Winter storage
Robotic lawnmower
The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully before putting it away for the winter. See
8.4 Cleaning on page 57.
Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Then set the main switch to 0.
Check the condition of wear items such as blades and bearings in the rear wheel. Rectify if necessary to make sure the mower is in good condition prior to next season.
Store the mower upright in a dry area free from frost, preferably in the mower's original packaging.
