8. MAINTENANCE
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.
8.5 Cleaning
It is important to keep Automower ® clean. A mower
with a large amount of clippings negotiates slopes
very poorly. It is recommended to clean using a brush
and a spray with water.
Underframe and blade disc
1. Set the main switch to the OFF position.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Lift Automower ® onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and underframe using,
e.g. a dish-brush.
At the same time, check that the blade disc
rotates freely in relation to the motor support,
directly above. Check also that the skid plate
rotates freely in relation to the blade disc.
If long blades of grass or other objects work their
way in this can brake the blade disc and/or skid
plate. Even a slight braking effect leads to a
higher consumption of energy and longer
mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the
mower from being able to mow a large lawn. If
more thorough cleaning is necessary the skid
plate, and possibly the blade disc, must be
dismantled. If necessary, contact your dealer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never use a high-pressure washer or even
running water to clean the Automower
® .
Solvent must never be used when cleaning.
