MAINTENANCE
Replacing the blades
The cutting disc is bolted to the cutting motor axle and holds
three blades thrown out by centrifugal force. The blades are
each held in the blade disc by their own special screw.
To replace a blade:
1.
Rotate the protective plate so that its holes are lined up with
the screws.
2.
Insert a standard or cross-head screwdriver through the
hole and undo the screw.
3.
Remove the blade.
The design of the blade holders ensures that the blades are
well secured if a collision with small objects, e.g. twigs on the
lawn, should occur.
Check that the blades are not damaged as this can cause
vibrations that can damage the Solar Mower. If necessary,
replace all three blades at the same time so that the cutting disc
maintains its balance.
Cleaning
Solar panels
Clean the solar panels on the mower and generator regularly.
Even a light coating of dirt can reduce the performance of the
solar panels considerably. Use a soft sponge or a piece of cloth
and plain water. A soapy solution or washing up liquid may be
used if the solar panels are heavily soiled. During the pollen
season the solar panels should be cleaned daily.
NOTE!
Never use solvents such as, acetone, petrol or the like
to clean the solar panels. These can damage the solar
panels and thereby reduce the solar cells’ effect.

Cutting disc
Inspect the cutting disc and blades once a week. Inspect the
cutting disc and blades once a week. Check that the cutting disc
can rotate freely and easily. Also check that the protective plate
can rotate freely and easily relative to the cutting disc.
Remove any clumps of grass or foreign objects using a small
brush and clean the blades if necessary.
NOTE!
Never use a high pressure washer, not even running
water, when cleaning the cutting disc as water can enter
the electronics and destroy the sensitive components.

Replacing the batteries
The Solar Mower’s battery
The service life of the battery is normally between one and two
years depending on how it is used. If the Solar Mower requires
long charging times during sunny days and despite this has a
short operating time the battery should be replaced. Contact
your dealer to replace the Solar Mower’s battery.
The generator’s battery
The battery in the generator has the task of ensuring the
boundary wire generates an electromagnetic field, even when
the sun is not shining. It is important that the generator is
positioned in a sunny spot, so place it as far out in the open as
possible. Avoid placing it next to walls, bushes, trees, etc.
If the Solar Mower has difficulty in sensing the boundary wire
despite its length not exceeding 500 m it may be necessary to
replace the battery in the generator.
Used batteries should be returned to your dealer or taken to a
recycling station.
Winter storage
• During the winter the Solar Mower should be stored in a dry
place, preferably in the original packaging or parked on all
four wheels with the power switch off.
• The generator should also be kept indoors during the winter.
• The battery does not require any maintenance over winter.
