8. Maintenance

Check and clean the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower
regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to
improved operating reliability and to ensure a longer
service life. For more information on cleaning, see
8.4 Cleaning on page 61.
When the robotic lawnmower is first used, the blade
disc and blades should be inspected 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
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The
lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends
for instance 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 normal life is 1 to 3 months when used in areas
more than 300 m in size and longer for smaller areas.

See 8.7 Blades on page 64 on how to replace the
blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and
more energy is needed resulting in the robotic
lawnmower not mowing such a large area.

8.1 Winter storage

Robotic lawnmower
The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully
before putting it away for the winter. See
8.4 Cleaning on page 61.
To guarantee battery functionality and service life, it
is very important to fully charge the robotic
lawnmower before storing it away for the winter.
Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station
with the hatch open until the battery icon in the
display shows that the battery is fully charged. Then
set the main switch to 0.
Check the condition of wear items such as blades
and bearings in the rear wheel. Rectify if necessary to
make sure the mower is in good condition prior to next
season.
Store the mower upright in a dry area free from frost,
preferably in the mower's original packaging.
