8. Maintenance
8.4 After winter storage
Check whether the Automower, contact strips or
charging strips need to be cleaned before using. If the
charging or contact strips appear to be burnt, clean
them using fine grade emery cloth. Check that the
mower’s time and date are correct.
8.5 Cleaning
It is important to keep Automower clean. A very dirty
mower tackles slopes poorly.
Never use a high-pressure washer or even running
water to clean the Automower.
We recommended a spray bottle with water.
Underframe and blade disc
1. Set the main switch to the OFF position.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Lift the Automower onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and underframe using,
e.g. a dish-brush.
At the same time, check that the blade disc
rotates freely in relation to the motor support,
directly above. Check also that the skid plate
rotates freely in relation to the blade disc.
If long blades of grass or other objects work their
way in this can brake the blade disc and/or skid
plate. Even a slight braking effect leads to a
higher consumption of energy and longer
mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the
mower from being able to mow a large lawn. If
more thorough cleaning is necessary the skid
plate, and possibly the blade disc, must be
dismantled. If necessary, contact your dealer.
