8. SERVICE
To optimise the lifespan of your robot, we advise two service operations per year: a minor
maintenance check-up halfway through the year and a major check-up in winter.
A. BATTERIES
Belrobotics robot lawnmowers are equipped with the latest generation Li-Ion batteries. Their
capacities differ depending on the model of robot.
The battery lifespan is optimised when the robot is allowed to function automatically. Users
must therefore leave the robot to manage its own work cycles independently as often as
possible.
If the work cycles are unusually short, contact your supplier to check the condition of the
batteries.
B. CLEANING
A clean and well-maintained machine will always last longer. You are advised to clean your
robot weekly. Simply brush the underside of the robot and remove any grass blockages from
around the front and back wheels and the cutting heads as necessary.
Do not use a hosepipe or high pressure cleaning device.
C. CHARGING PORTS
The charging ports, both on the robot and on the station, are important parts as they ensure
that the batteries can be charged.
It is therefore highly advisable to clean the charging ports on the robot and the station with
sandpaper with a grit size of at least P180:
- during the mid-year check-up
- during the maintenance check-up at the start of the year
- if any problems with charging are observed.
Users are not at risk when carrying out this maintenance work as the robot and station
operate on Safety Extra Low Voltage level.
D. WINTER STORAGE
At the end of the mowing season, recharge your robot before storing it in a dry, sheltered
place away from freezing temperatures.
The main switch MUST remain in the OFF position throughout the winter storage period,
in order to protect the batteries from potential damage.
You are advised to switch off the outdoor electricity supply to the charging station (mains
plug, switchboard etc.) throughout the winter storage period.
