Switching Off; Adjusting The Cutting Height; Maintenance; Introduction - Maintenance - McCulloch ROB R600 Operator's Manual

Switching off

1. Press the STOP button.
2. Set the main switch in position
Always switch the robotic lawnmower off using the main
switch if it requires maintenance or if the robotic
lawnmower must be moved outside the working area.

Adjusting the cutting height

The cutting height can be varied from MIN (2 cm) to MAX
(5 cm).

Introduction - maintenance

Check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary to improve operating
reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For further
information on cleaning, see
When the robotic lawnmower is first used, the blade disc
and blades should be inspected once a week. If the
amount of wear during this period has been low, the
inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The edges
of the blades should not be damaged. The lifetime of the
blades varies immensely and depends for instance on:
• Operating time and size of the working area.
• Type of grass.
• Type of soil.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 2 to 4 months when used in areas more
2
than 300 m in size and longer for smaller areas. See
Replacing the blades on page 36 on how to replace the
blades.
Note: Working with dull blades gives a poorer mowing
result. The edges of the grass are not cut clean and more
energy is needed resulting in the robotic lawnmower not
mowing such a large area.

Maintenance

To adjust the cutting height:
1. Press the STOP button to stop the robotic lawnmower
and open the hatch.
2. Turn the height adjustment knob to the required
position. The selected position is indicated by the
orange column on the height adjustment indicator.
• Turn anti-clockwise to raise the cutting height.
• Turn clockwise to lower the cutting height.
Note: During the first week after a new installation, the
cutting height must be set to MAX to avoid damaging the
loop wire. After this, the cutting height can be lowered step
by step every second week until the desired cutting height
has been reached.

Cleaning

It is important to keep the robotic lawnmower clean. A
mower with large amounts of grass stuck to it will not cope
as well with slopes. It is recommended to clean using a
brush.
CAUTION! Never use a high-pressure washer or
even running water to clean the robotic
lawnmower. Never use solvents for cleaning.
Chassis and blade disc
CAUTION! Wear protective gloves.
1. Set the main switch to position
2. Lift the robotic lawnmower onto its side.
3. Clean the blade disc and chassis using for examle a
dish brush.At the same time, check that the blade disc
rotates freely in relation to the foot guard. Also, check
that the blades can pivot freely.If long grass or other
objects find their way in, these may impede the blade
disc. Even a slight braking effect leads to a higher
consumption of energy and longer mowing times, and
at worst will prevent the robotic lawnmower from being
able to mow a large lawn.
