5.1 General Test
The
General Test is a basic test that should be performed whenever a technician initiates a
service repair on a Robomow. The test is designed so that most common problems found in
normal operation will be readily apparent. The General Test should be performed regardless
of whether any work was actually performed out on a unit. This ensures a “Duty of Care” to
the customer, and will also serve to insure that all safety systems are working properly prior to
a customer using the unit.
The
General Test should also be performed after any service routine was performed. This
will insure that the maintenance was performed correctly and that no additional problems
were introduced to the unit during the service routine.
The
General Test and certain of the other diagnostics tests need to be performed in a
simulated lawn with the layout as shown below:
