Chapter 6 - Maintenance
Check and clean the
Robotic Mower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary. Use a dry brush or a damp
cloth, but never use a pressure washer or running water to clean the mower. Follow these maintenance instructions
to maximize the lifetime of the mower. Take your robotic mower to an authorized dealer for a comprehensive
winter service incorporating cleaning, testing and adjustment of all functions, replacement of worn parts and
software upgrades.
6.1 Battery life
The Robotic Mower has a maintenance-free lithium-ion battery. This battery is easy to take out of the Robotic
Mower
(
we recommend you to take it out fully charged), and should be kept in a dry place (indoor during winter).
It is recommended to charge the battery every three months to keep it in the best condition.
Long periods of non-usage as well as extreme temperatures (direct sunlight on the mower or cold winter conditions)
will significantly limit the battery lifetime. Therefore, please protect your Robotic Mower from extreme temperatures,
take it in for the winter and give it a full charge.
6.2 Winter storage
During the winter we recommend that you keep your Robotic Mower and charging station in a shed or
ga
rage to
avoid the frost. The following preparation should be carried out before winter storage:
1. Clean your Robotic Mower
thor
oughly.
2. Charge the battery completely
3. Ensure the main power switch is OFF
4. Disconnect the charger power supply from the power socket.
5. Disconnect the charger / power supply from the charging station.
6. Disconnect the boundary wire connections from the charging station. The boundary wire can be left outside
overwinter, but ensure the connections are protected by water-free grease or tape to prevent
corr
osion.
It is advisable to repack the product in the original carton after cleaning and charging, with all 4 wheels flat in
the box and storing in a dry, frost free environment.
6.3 Cleaning and maintenance
It’s important to keep the Robotic Mower clean.
The Robotic Mower will deal with slopes better if the wheels are clean, cutting blades will also
cut
more efficiently
if clean and sharp - but note: When cleaning the blades, please switch off the main power
switch and use
protective gloves. Never use a high-pressure cleaner or running water for cleaning.
6.3.1 Cleaning the Robotic Mower body
Take care when cleaning not to damage the mower. Use a soft brush and / or a damp cloth with household
detergents. Wipe off any residues after cleaning.
6.3.2 Cleaning the underside
Ensure the main power switch is in the OFF position and wear protective gloves. Turn the Robotic Mower
onto its side to expose its underside, clean the blade
d
is
c
and frame, using a soft brush or damp cloth. Rotate
the blade disc to make sure that
it
moves freely and check that the blades can turn easily on their bearings.
6.3.3 Clean the contact pins and the charging strips
Use a metal cleaner or very fine-grade emery paper to clean the contact pins and the charging strips on your
Robotic Mower / charging station. Remove any debris, leaves or grass clippings around the contact pins and
charging strips to ensure efficient charging.
6.4.3 Cutter blade sharpening
WARNING!
Ensure the Robotic Mower is completely shut off and wear protective gloves before cleaning, adjusting or
replacing the blades.
WARNING!
To ensure maximum cutting efficiency and safety, always use Mowbot replacement blades and blade
mounting parts when replacing.
