z 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.
z 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 blade to
gain better access to the mowing chamber in order to clean it. Do
not place the mower upside down, damage to the bumper can oc-
cur. Instead, lean it against another surface to gain access to the
mowing deck area.

sticks and twigs and any other debris that may tend to collect in
these areas. Do not spray a water hose directly onto or into the
Base Station. Use a damp rag and brush to clean the outer sur-
