CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
Work that has not been described in these instructions must be carried out by a
servicing agency authorised by the manufacturer. Only use original parts.
Maintenance
Check and clean your Robomower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary. Preferably
use a dry brush, a damp cloth or a sharpened wooden piece.
Never use flushing water.
Following these maintenance instructions can extend your Robomower's service life.
Battery Life
The Robomower has a maintenance free Li-ion battery, with an estimated life of more than 2
years (depending on treatment and usage).
Winter Storage
During winter, keep your mower, charging station and power supply in a dry place.
We recommend a shed, garage or preferably store it indoors.
Prepare your device for winter storage as follows:
1. Fully recharge the battery.
2. Set the main power switch to "OFF".
3. Thoroughly clean your Robomower.
4. Unplug the power supply from the mains outlet.
5. Disconnect the power supply from the charging station.
6. Disconnect the boundary wire from the charging station. Lift up the charging station, and
clean it. The boundary wire can remain outside. However, it is imperative to protect the
wire against corrosion. We recommend a water-free grease or suitable sealing tape.
If available, repack the product in the original packaging.
Alternatively, our service centre offers a winter service for your device. This will include a
check-up of all parts and - if available - a software upgrade.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
Preparing for spring
After winter storage, please clean the charging contacts on both the Robomower and the
charging station.
Use a fine abrasion paper or a brass brush; this will help to achieve the best charging
efficiency and avoid any charging interference.
Cleaning and Maintenance
It’s important to keep your Robomower clean.
The mower will deal with slopes easier when the wheels are clean. Sharp cutting blades need
less power and create cleaner cuts.
Remember to turn off the main power switch (11) before any maintenance. Use protective
gloves when handling the blades! Never use a high pressure washer, garden hose or running
water when cleaning the device.
Cleaning the mower body
As your Robomower is battery powered you need take care when cleaning. Remove rough
dirt with a soft brush. Use a manual water spray with mild household detergent for intensive
cleaning. Wipe off any residue after cleaning with a moist rag.
