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
lawnmower should be charged for about one hour.
Remove the mower from the charging station and turn
OFF main switch. NOTE! Do not charge the battery at
temperatures below 0˚C.
To maintain GPS anti-theft protection during the
winter, it is necessary to move the charging station
indoors, leaving the lawnmower in the charging station
the entire winter, and with the main switch in the ON
position and the control panel cover open.
Store the mower upright on all four wheels in a dry and
frost-free area, preferably in its original packaging, or
hang it on a wall using the Automower
that can be purchased as an accessory.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The battery must be charged fully before
winter storage. If the battery is not fully
charged it can be damaged and in certain
cases be rendered useless.
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.
