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
Store the charging station and transformer indoors.
The boundary wire and the guide wire can be left in
the ground. The ends of the wires should be
protected from damp by putting them in a container
with grease for instance.
If it is not possible to store the charging station
indoors, the charging station must be connected to
the mains, the boundary wire and the guide wire the
entire winter.

8.2 Service

Leave your robotic lawnmower with a dealer for
service prior to winter storage. This is essential in
order to keep the robotic lawnmower in good condition.
Service usually includes the following:
• Thorough cleaning of the body, the chassis, the
blade disc and all other moving parts.
• Testing of the mower's function and components.
• Checking and if required replacement of wear
items such as blades and bearings.
• Testing the mower's battery capacity as well as a
recommendation to replace battery if necessary.
• If necessary the dealer can also load the robotic
lawnmower with new software, including new
features where applicable.

8.3 After winter storage

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

8.4 Cleaning

It is important to keep the robotic lawnmower clean.
A mower with large amounts of grass stuck to it will not
cope as well with slopes. It is recommended to clean
using a brush.
