7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
Do not clean the robot lawn mower with run-
ning water, particularly with high-pressure
water.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may be ag-
gressive to the plastic parts in the equipment.
Ensure that no water can get into the interior
of the equipment.
•
For best results, clean the robot lawn mower
with a brush or rag.
•
Check the freedom of movement of the bla-
des (10) and the blade plate (11)
•
Use cleaning product for metal or very fine
abrasive paper to clean the charging contacts
on the robot lawn mower (1) and the charging
station (19). Clean them in order ensure effici-
ent charging.
7.2 Maintenance
•
Worn or damaged blades (10) and their fas-
tening screws must always be replaced as a
set.
•
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
immediately.
•
In order to ensure that you enjoy the equip-
ment for many years to come, all screwed
parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should
be cleaned and lubricated.
•
Keeping your robot lawn mower in good
condition not only ensures a long lifespan
and high performance, but also enables the
equipment to thoroughly cut your grass with
minimal effort.
•
The blades (10) are subject to more wear and
tear than any other component. Therefore,
routinely check the condition of the blades
(10) and make sure that they are tightly fas-
tened. An excessively vibrating robot lawn
mower can indicate that the blades (10) are
damaged or have become deformed from
striking an object. If the blades (10) are worn
or damaged, they must be replaced immedia-
tely.
•
Check the appearance of the cut lawn at re-
gular intervals. The grass will not be cleanly
cut if the blades are not sharp. This can result
in the surface of the lawn drying out easily
and turning brown. It is important therefore to

change the blades regularly in order to obtain
a clean and straight cut.
•
Check the bottom of the robot lawn mower
for dirt at regular intervals. Clean your robot
lawn mower regularly. Remove heavy soiling
immediately.
•
Heavy soiling of the robot lawn mower is
possible in the first weeks of using it for the
first time after a conventional law mower had
previously been used. In these first few weeks
you should check the bottom of your robot
lawn mower more often.
•
Shorten the lawn only in small steps in order
to prevent heavy soiling.
•
There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.
7.2.1 Replacing the blades
Only replace the blades with genuine blades, as
this will ensure top performance and safety.
The robot lawn mower is equipped with three bla-
des (10) fi tted to a blade plate (11). These blades
(10) have a service life of up to 3 months (if they
do not strike any obstacles). Please replace all
three blades (10) at the same time to ensure that
there is no possibility of any impairment to the
effi ciency and balance of your equipment.
To change the blades (10), proceed as follows
(Fig. 12) - Caution! - Wear work gloves:
1. Use a screwdriver to block the rotation of
the blade plate (11). Do this by inserting the
screwdriver through the holes in the blade
plate (11) and the protective ridge.
2. Undo the fastening screws
3. Remove the blades (10) and replace them
with new ones. Always replace all three bla-
des (10) as a set.
4. Then retighten the fastening screw. Check
that the new blades (10) are able to rotate
freely.
Perform a general inspection of the robot lawn
mower at regular intervals and remove any depo-
sits which may have accumulated. At the start of
each season, ensure that you check the condition
of the blades (10). If repairs are necessary, please
contact our customer service center. Use only
genuine spare parts.
7.2.2 Software update
If you want to update the software, copy the new
software to an empty USB stick (format the USB
stick fi rst if necessary). Make sure that the rechar-
geable battery is fully charged before you carry
