Maintenance Procedure
Regularly
Remove the batteries fuse and check any damage on the blade.
Check and remove grass clippings and dirt from the mowing deck if necessary,
particularly when mowing wet and damp grass (refer to section 5.2)
Charge the Robomow batteries after every use.
150 – 200 Hours
Replace the blade; replace it more frequently if the edges dull in rough or sandy
conditions (see Figure 5.1).
Remember to restart the automatic blade replacement reminder whenever the
blade has been replaced (refer to section 2.2.6).

batteries fuse.
5.2 Cleaning
Robomow and Base Station
Use only a damp cloth and a dry brush to clean the outer surfaces.
A light detergent can be used in a water solution, and then soaking and
wringing dry the cloth for cleaning. Never use harsh or abrasive
cleaning solutions. Never spray with a garden hose or other type of
liquid spray hose.
Mowing Deck
The underside of the mowing deck needs to be inspected, and cleaned if necessary, between
operations. The Robomow is a dedicated mulching mower and may accumulate clippings under the
mowing deck, particularly when mowing wet and damp grass.
Most grass accumulation can be removed using a small wooden stick or similar object. Carefully
scrape the collected grass debris from under the mowing deck. If necessary, remove the blade to gain
better access to the mowing chamber in order to clean it. Do not place the mower upside down,
damage to the bumper can occur. Instead, lean it against another surface to gain access to the
mowing deck area.
NEVER
use a water hose or other type of liquid sprayer to clean the underside of the mower.
Component damage can occur. Use only a damp or wet cloth to wipe the surface clean after
scraping.
5.3 Battery
The batteries are maintenance-free, but have a limited life span of 1-3 years. Battery life depends on
the number of operations per week and the length of the season. The batteries should only be
replaced by a service dealer.
Important!
Do not place used batteries in your household trash. Batteries must be collected, recycled,
or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Return the old batteries to an approved sealed
lead (acid) battery recycler.
