8. MAINTENANCE
8. Maintenance
Check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improve
operating reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For further information on cleaning, see
8.3 Cleaning.
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 2 to 4 months when used in areas more than 300 m
2
in size and longer for smaller areas.
See 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 56 on how to replace the blades.
8.1 Winter storage
Robotic lawnmower
The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully
before putting it away for the winter. See
8.3 Cleaning on page 54.
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 rear wheel. Rectify if necessary to
make sure the robotic lawnmower is in good condition prior to next season.
Store the robotic lawnmower upright in a dry area free from frost, preferably in the mower's original
packaging.
Charging station
Store the charging station and transformer indoors. The boundary wire and the guide wire can be left in
the ground. The ends of the wires should be protected from damp by 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 wire the entire winter.
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 the robotic lawnmower not mowing such a large area.
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.
