storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 68.
Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Turn
the main switch to the OFF position.
For maximum battery life, in addition to be fully
charged before winter storage the battery should also
be fully loaded twice during winter storage. 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 with the main
switch set to ON and check that the control panel
cover is open. 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 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. When using Automower house
®
(504 82 14-01), then in the lowered position, the
charging station can ideally be left outdoors even
during the winter.
