Maintenance and Storage
9.3 Disposing the Old Battery Pack
IMPORTANT
Do not place used batteries in your household trash.
The battery must be collected, recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally
sound manner. Return the old power pack to an approved battery recycler.
9.4 Splicing the Perimeter Wire
If the Perimeter Wire needs to be spliced: Use the connectors supplied in
Robomow’s box. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection.
IMPORTANT
Before slicing the Perimeter Wire
disconnect
Power Box
from plug socket.
P
Strip 1 cm (0.5 inch) of each wire end together
P
Twist the stripped ends together using pliers.
P
Insert the twisted wires into the splicing connector.
P
Screw the wire connector on the twisted wires; make sure it is tight.
IMPORTANT
Neither
Twisted cables,
nor
a screw terminal insulated
with insulation tape are a satisfactory splice.
Soil moisture will cause such conductors to oxidize and which later leads to a
broken circuit.
9.5 Maintenance of the Base Station Area
P
Keep the Base Station entrance and area clean of leaves, sticks, twigs or
any other debris that usually accumulate in such areas.
P
NEVER
spray a water hose directly on the Base Station.
P
Be careful when trimming around the Base Station with a powered weed
trimmer as damage to the Extension Cable may occur.
P
In the event of damage to any part of the Extension Cable, stop use of the
Mower and Base Station, disconnect Extension Cable and replace it.
9.6 Storing the Mower during Winter
P
Follow the instructions in Section 6.2 (Charging Out of Season).
9.7 Winter Service
P
To allow better maintenance and to keep Robomow in a good condition,
it is recommended to bring your Robomow to a certified Robomow dealer
for a service prior to winter storage.
P
Winter Service includes operations like cleaning mower’s parts and
mowing deck, checking for worn parts (such as blades, drive wheels
and other moving parts) and replacing them if required, testing mower’s
functions and safety components, checking the battery, and uploading a
latest software version, possibly including newly added features.
