Cleaning - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 220 AC Operator's Manual

8.5 Cleaning

It is important to keep Automower clean. A mower with
a large amount of clippings negotiates slopes very
poorly.
Never use a high-pressure washer or even running
water to clean Automower.
We recommend a brush and spray with water.
Underframe and blade disc
1. Set the main switch to the OFF position.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Lift Automower onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and underframe using,
e.g. a dish-brush.
At the same time, check that the blade disc
rotates freely in relation to the motor support,
directly above. Check also that the skid plate
rotates freely in relation to the blade disc.
If long blades of grass or other objects work their
way in this can brake the blade disc and/or skid
plate. Even a slight braking effect leads to a
higher consumption of energy and longer
mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the
mower from being able to mow a large lawn. If
more thorough cleaning is necessary the skid
plate, and possibly the blade disc, must be
dismantled. If necessary, contact your dealer.
Chassis
Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with
a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use running water when cleaning.
