8.2 Winter storage

Automower™
Automower must be carefully cleaned before winter
storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 70.
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
120 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

Take your Automower to a dealer for a service before
winter storage.
During a service the dealer can clean the mower
thoroughly, test its function and components as well as
replace wear parts if necessary. If new functions have
been added during the year your dealer can also load
Automower with new software.

8.4 After winter storage

Check whether Automower, contact strips and
charging strips need to be cleaned before using. If the
charging or contact strips appear to be burnt, clean
them using fine grade emery cloth. Check that the
mower's time and date are correct.
