MAINTENANCE
8.1 Winter storage
The robotic lawnmower
The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully before
putting it away for the winter. See 8.4 Cleaning on page 72.
To guarantee battery functionality and service life, it is
very important to fully charge the robotic lawnmower
before storing it away for the winter. Place the robotic
lawnmower in the charging station with the hatch open
until the battery icon in the display shows that the battery
is fully charged. Then set the main switch to 0.
Check the condition of wear items such as blades and
bearings in the front wheels. Rectify if necessary to make
sure the robotic lawnmower is in good condition prior to
next season.
Store the robotic lawnmower in a dry, frost-free
environment. A wall bracket specially designed for
Automower® robotic lawnmowers and charging stations is
available. The wall bracket works great for winter storage.
Contact your dealer for more information.
The robotic lawnmower must be charged 1 to 3 times
during the winter to increase the battery’s service life,
depending on how long the winter season is. Place the
robotic lawnmower in the charging station (the charging
station can be indoors and disconnected from the
boundary loop) and set the main switch to 1. Make sure
the cover to the robotic lawnmower is open and let it
charge for an hour. Then remove the robotic lawnmower
from the charging station and turn the main switch to 0.
Do not charge at temperatures below 0°C.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The battery must be charged fully before
winter storage. If the battery is not fully
charged it can be damaged and in certain
cases be rendered useless.
The charging station
Store the charging station and transformer indoors.
The boundary loop and the guide wire can be left in the
ground. The ends of the wires should be protected from
damp by connecting them to an original coupler or putting
them in a container with grease for instance.
If it is not possible to store the charging station indoors,
the charging station must be connected to the mains, the
boundary wire and the guide wires the entire winter.
