6.2.5 Mowing Motors
Mowing motors is the process of testing the mowing motor system of the mower. It has one basic
level of testing. Under the basic testing it is a 'pass-fail' test with a fault code listed for the failure
message.
6.2.6 Thermistors
Is used for testing the two Thermistors of the mower, one is located on the right Drive Motor and
the other on the right Mowing Motor. When this test is selected, an automatic testing process will
take place resulting in a 'Pass/Fail' message.
6.2.7 Docking
Dock Detection
Is used for testing the entry process of the mower to the Docking Station. After this test is
selected, place the Manual Controller in its place and choose the 'Go to dock' option. An
automatic testing process will take place resulting in number, which indicates the result of the test.
6.2.8 Edge
Edge Termination
Is used for testing the edge mode in case, which the mower does not complete the edge all around
the perimeter or when the mower does not drive back to the Docking Station at the end of the
operation. After this test is selected, operate the mower in Edge mode. At the end of the edge, the
mower will display a 'Test result: X', which is the reason for Edge termination in this performed
test.
6.2.9 Battery Maintenance
Battery maintenance is a multiple menu selection. It can provide valuable information of the
customers' maintenance habits regarding the mower as well as help in identifying a faulty power
pack.
Last Battery Voltage –the last measured voltage of the power pack will be displayed. This
number is updated frequently when in charging mode and in automatic operation mode. If the
mower was in deep sleep mode, the last recorded voltage prior to deep sleep will be recorded.
This can be useful in determining charger operation by viewing the voltage over
time. Additionally, it can be used to view voltage over time while in operation to understand a
discharge rate to determine power pack condition.
Warning Ignored – the energy management system of the mower will alert both audibly and by
displaying a text message prompting the user to connect the mower to the charger when not in
use (if the customer has failed to do so). The warnings vary in frequency of time and loudness,
depending on the time disconnected from the charger. This warning system will function for
approximately 48 hours before shutting down and entering a deep sleep mode for energy
conservation. This selection indicates how many times the customer has ignored the alert system
and allowed the mower to enter the deep sleep mode. This can indicate poor maintenance by the
customer and could cause diminished power pack performance and service life. While any
number here is a cause for concern and illustrates the need to educate the user how to properly
mainten the mower, a count of 2 or more is serious and can damage the power pack.
