8.2 Winter storage

Automower

must be carefully cleaned before winter

storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 69.

Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Turn

the main switch to the OFF position.

It is also recommended to fully charge the battery at

some time during the winter to increase the battery

life. The charging station must then be connected to a

230 V wall socket via the low voltage cable and

transformer (with or without connecting the boundary

wire). Now place the mower in the charging station

with the main switch set to ON and check that the

control panel cover is open. The charger should be

charged for about 24 hours. Remove the mower from

the charging station and turn OFF main switch.

Store the mower standing on all four wheels in an

area that is dry and free from frost, preferably in the

original packaging, or hung on the wall with the help

of Automower

wall bracket (504 82 13-01).

Charging station

If possible store the charging station, transformer and

low voltage cable indoors. The boundary wire can be

left in the ground. If the charging station is taken in

you should protect the ends of the boundary wire from

moisture by placing them, for example, in a tin with

grease. If indoor storage is not possible the boundary

wire should remain connected. The charging station

should remain connected to the mains supply. When

using Automower

house

(504 82 14-01), then in the lowered position, the

charging station can ideally be left outdoors even

during the winter.
