Maintenance

Check and clean the Auto Mower regularly and replace
worn parts if necessary to improved operating reliabil-
ity and to give a longer service life.
During the initial period of Auto Mower use the blade
disc, skid plate and blades should be checked once a
week. If the amount of wear during this period has
been low, the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The
skid plate should rotate easily in relation to the blade
disc. The edges of the blades should not be damaged.
The service life of the blades depends on:
• Operating time and size of the working area.
• Type of grass.
• Type of soil.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The service life can vary greatly, but is normally 2-4
weeks of operation over areas larger than 1000 m
longer in smaller areas.

Battery

The battery is maintenance free, but has a limited life
span of 1-3 years. The battery may only be replaced by
a dealer. Battery life is dependent on the length of the
season and how many hours per day the Auto Mower
is used. A long season or many hours of use per day,
means that the battery must be replaced more regu-
larly.

Winter Storage

Auto Mower:
Clean the Auto Mower carefully and set the main
switch in the "OFF" position. Store the mower indoors,
in the original packaging, standing on all four wheels.
Charging station:
If possible store the charging station, transformer and
low voltage cable indoors. Remember to protect the
ends of the boundary wire from moisture by placing
them, for example, in a tin with anhydrous grease.
If indoor storage is not possible the boundary wire
should remain connected. The charging station should
remain connected to the mains supply.
After winter storage:
Check whether the Auto Mower, contact strips or
charging strips need to be cleaned before using. If the
charging or contact stripes appear to be burnt, clean
them using fine grade emery cloth. Check that the
mower's time and date are correct.
