Winter Storage; Service - Husqvarna Automower solar hybrid Operator's Manual

8.2 Winter storage

®
Automower
Automower ® must be carefully cleaned before winter
storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 66.
Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Turn
the main switch to the OFF position.
It is also recommended to fully charge the battery at
some time during the winter to increase the battery
life. The charging station must then be connected to a
230 V wall socket via the low voltage cable and
transformer (with or without connecting the boundary
wire). Now place the mower in the charging station,
press down the STOP button, open the solar cell
panel and set the main switch in the ON position. The
charger should be charged for about 24 hours.
Remove the mower from the charging station and turn
OFF main switch.
Store the mower standing on all four wheels in an area
that is dry and free from frost, preferably in the original
packaging, or hung on the wall with the help of the
Automower wall bracket (504 82 13-01).
®
Charging station
If possible store the charging station, transformer and
low voltage cable indoors. The boundary wire can be
left in the ground. If the charging station is taken in you
should protect the ends of the boundary wire from
moisture by placing them, for example, in a tin with
grease. If indoor storage is not possible the boundary
wire should remain connected. The charging station
should remain connected to the mains supply.

8.3 Service

®
Leave your Automower
to winter storage. This is essential in order to keep the
mower in a good condition.
Service usually includes the following:
• Thorough cleaning of body, chassis, blade disc,
skid plate and all other moving parts.
• Testing of the mower's function and components.
• Checking of wear components such as mower
blades and bearings.
• Testing of the mower's battery capacity as well as
a recommendation of change if necessary.
• Relubrication of both chassis halves of the mower
in order to maintain moisture and wetness
resistance.
• If necessary the dealer can also load the
®
Automower with new software, possibly including
newly added features.
