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 60 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 59.
Charge the battery fully before winter storage. 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.
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.
