8.1 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. Figure 8.2
WARNING! WARNING!
!
!
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 blades to gain better
access to the mowing chambers in order to clean them. Do not place the mower upside down, damage to
the Manual Controller can occur. Instead, lean the mower 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.
8.2 Blades
The cutting blades of the Robomow should be examined for damage between operations. Replace any
damaged blade found. Only use sharp blades. Replace blades at least once per season, more often if
they have been severely dulled. It is recommended to replace all three blades for best performance.
Machine sharpening is not recommended, as a good balance cannot be achieved after machine
sharpening. See Figure 9.1.
Robomow has an automatic reminder to replace the blades after every 200 hours of operation. 'Replace
blades – every 200 hours' message appears and pressing the GO button will clear the message and
enables the operation of Robomow.
