frequency of replacing the blades. Each cutting blade will last up to
2 months when it is programmed to mow everyday. Always check to
see if the blades are chipped or damaged and replace them if they
are. When the cutting blades are dull and worn out, they should be
replaced with the spare blades provided with your Landxcape
TM
. Spare
blades are also available at your nearest Landxcape
TM
retailer.
A. Replace the Blades
After some time, usually every season, your Landxcape
TM
’s Blades
will need to be replaced. When replacing the blades, make sure to
replace ALL of them at the same time. You can replace them with one
of the spare blade kits and extra blade screws supplied with your
Landxcape
TM
.
Before attempting to replace your Landxcape
TM
’s blades, turn the
power off and put on protective gloves and follow these steps:
1. Gently flip Landxcape
TM
over.
2. Remove the battery cover and remove the battery.
3. Take the screws off the blades with a screwdriver. (See Fig. M)
4. Firmly screw on the new blades.
5. Refit the battery and the battery cover.
IMPORTANT: After screwing the blade to the blade disc, make
sure the blade is able to spin freely.
8.2 Keep it clean
WARNING: Before cleaning, turn your Landxcape
TM
OFF.
Put on protective gloves before cleaning the blade
turning disc and do not rinse or flush with water.
A. Cleaning the body
Your Landxcape
TM
will live a much happier and longer life if it is
cleaned regularly. Although, since your Landxcape
TM
is an electric
machine, you will need to take care when cleaning.
DO NOT use a
hose, high pressure washers and do not pour running water on
your Landxcape TM .
It is best to use a spray bottle filled with water.
When cleaning the machine body, use a soft brush or clean cloth and
avoid using solvents or polishes (See Fig. N). Lastly, remove all build up
of grass clippings and debris.
B. Cleaning the Underside
Again, it is important that you power Landxcape
TM
OFF and
wear
protective gloves before touching the blade turning disc
.
First, flip your Landxcape
TM
upside down to expose its underside. Here
you will see the blade disc, the chassis, and the front wheel and driving
wheels. Clean everything thoroughly with a soft brush or moist rag.
WARNING:
NEVER clean the underside of Landxcape
TM
with
running water. Component damage can occur. (See Fig. O1,
O2)
Rotate the blade disc to ensure it rotates freely. Check the blades spin
freely around the fixing screws. Remove any obstructions.
IMPORTANT: Remove any lodged debris so that it does not cause
a crack in the blade disc. Even the tiniest crack can decrease
your Landxcape TM 's mowing output.
C. Clean the contact pins and the charging strips
Clean the contact pins located on the charging base and the charging
strips located on Landxcape
TM
using a cloth. Remove any built up
grass clippings or debris around the contact pins and charge strips
periodically to ensure Landxcape
TM
successfully charges each time.
8.3 Battery life
The heart of Landxcape
TM
is its 20V Li-Ion battery. For proper storage of
the battery, make sure it is fully charged and kept in a cool dry place.
NOTE:
The recommended Landxcape
TM
operation temperature is
between 0-55
0
C.
The life-span of Landxcape
TM
’s battery depends on various factors, such
as:
•
The length of the mowing season in your region
• Amount of hours Landxcape
TM
mows per day
• Battery maintenance during storage
Landxcape TM can be charged manually without the boundary
wire.
1. Connect the charging base to a suitable power supply. The
green light on the charging base will turn on.
2. Manually dock Landxcape TM into the charging base while
Landxcape
TM
is powered off. (See Fig. P)
3. The green light on the charging base will be flashing.
Landxcape
TM
will begin to charge.
8.4 Winter hibernation
Your Landxcape
TM
will live longer and healthier if it is allowed to
hibernate. So even though it is troublesome, we recommend storing
your Landxcape
TM
in your shed or garage during the winter.
Before you prepare your Landxcape
TM
for winter hibernation, we
recommend you:
•
Thoroughly clean your Landxcape
TM
• Fully charge the battery and remove it from Landxcape
TM
• Turn power off
To maximize the battery life, fully charge the battery and remove it from
Landxcape
TM
before storage during winter.
WARNING: Protect the underside of Landxcape
TM
from
water. NEVER store Landxcape
TM
upside down outdoors.
The boundary wire can be left in the ground but its ends should be
protected, such as placed in a tin can with grease. If the charging base
is left outside for the winter, leave the boundary wire connected.
NOTE:
When bringing Landxcape
TM
back to work after winter
hibernation, make sure the charging strips and contact pins are clean.
We recommend using a fine grade emery cloth to clean the contacts.
8.5 Replacing the battery
WARNING: Power off before attempting any adjustment,
replacement or repair.
Before replacing the blades, turn your Landxcape TM OFF and put on
protective gloves.
If you need to replace the battery, follow these steps:
1. Gently turn your Landxcape
TM
upside down.
2. Remove the screws on the battery cover. Remove the battery cover.
