MAINTENANCE

To replace the blades

■  Press the STOP button and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
■  Lift the battery compartment cover. Remove the isolator key and the battery.
■  Slowly turn the mower over. Place it on a soft and clean surface.
■  Use a suitable tool (e.g., a screwdriver) to insert into one of three holes in the blade disc to fix it 

in place. This ensures the blade disc is not turning when replacing the blades to avoid personal 
injury.

■  Wear protective gloves and remove all three screws and blades with a screwdriver (Fig. 19).
■  Secure the new blades with new screws.
■  Make sure all blades can spin freely.

Cleaning the Underside

It is recommended to check and clean the underside of the robotic mower regularly.

■  Press the STOP button and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
■  Lift the battery compartment cover. Remove the isolator key and the battery.
■  Slowly turn the mower over. Place it on a soft and clean surface.
■  Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. from the underside of the 

mower.

IMPORTANT:

 Do not wash the mower with running water.

■  Wear safety gloves to clean the blade disc, the chassis, and the front and rear wheels 

thoroughly with a soft brush or damp cloth. Remove any lodged debris around them.

■  Make sure the blade disc can rotate freely and all blades can spin freely.

Storing the Mower 

(See Fig. 20)

It is recommended to store the mower indoors between uses.

■  Before storing your mower, remove the isolator key and the battery pack.
■  Clean the mower thoroughly.
■  Use the carry handle to carry the mower. Carry the mower with the blade disc away from the 

body (Fig. 20).

■  Store the mower indoors in a clean, dry place out of the reach of children.

IMPORTANT:

 Protect the underside of mower from standing water. NEVER store the mower 

upside down outdoors.

Battery and Charger Maintenance

■  Keep the battery and charger clean and clear of debris. Do not allow foreign material into the 

recessed cavity or on the contacts. Wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents, water, or place in 
wet conditions.

■  Always unplug the charger when there is no battery pack in it.
■  Check that the charger and battery contacts have not been shorted by debris or foreign material. 

Always store away from metal objects which could create a connection with the terminals.
