8. Maintenance

8.4 After winter storage

Check whether the Automower, contact strips or charging strips need to be cleaned before using. 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 very dirty mower tackles slopes poorly.

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

We recommended a spray bottle with water.

3.Lift the 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.
