7 Maintenance and
service
7�1 Cleaning
Clean the body, display cover and chassis on
the Automower® 305 regularly. The best way to
clean the body is with a damp sponge or cloth.
The underside of the body, wheels and blade disc
are best cleaned with a brush (for example, a
dish-brush). A spray bottle with water and a small
amount of washing-up liquid can help to remove
dried dirt and grass. Dismantle the body to clean the
body, display cover and chassis more meticulously.
NOTE!
Never use a high pressure washer or even
running water.
The main switch should be in the O position. Wear
gloves when cleaning the underside of the body.
3012-272
It is important to clean off any grass and dirt
between the chassis and the blade disc as well as
between the blade disc and the blades. Dismantle
the blade disc to enable more thorough cleaning.
Run the blade motor using the test function Motors
(5-3-1). Listen for abnormal sounds when the blade
motor is running. Also test with various cutting
height settings.

7�2 Winter storage
Before the Automower® 305 is put away for the
winter the following should be done:
• Clean the entire mower thoroughly.
• Remove the blade disc and clean around
the blades so that they can be freely rotated
and also around the motor shaft.
• Dismantle the drive wheels and remove
grass and other objects from the motor
shafts. Clean the wheels' drive tread.
Replace the wheels again.
• Put the main switch in position 0.
• Fully charge the mower. However, the
mower must not be left in the charging
station during the entire winter storage
period.
The Automower® 305 should be stored, preferably
in the original packaging, in a dry area, standing on
all wheels.
The mower and the transformer should be stored
inside during the winter. If the transformer is put in a
mains socket indoors and connected to the charging
station, the charging station can be left outdoors.
Otherwise, the charging station must be stored
indoors.
If the charging station is stored indoors it is
important to remember to protect the ends of the
boundary wire from moisture by placing them, for
example, in a tin with anhydrous grease.
