8. MAINTENANCE
8.2 Winter storage
Automower™
Automower must be carefully cleaned before winter
storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 70.
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
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 ONand 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 the
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.
8.3 Service
Take your Automower to a dealer for a service before
winter storage.
During a service the dealer can perform careful
cleaning and at the same time test the mower’s
functions and components. If new functions have been
added during the year your dealer can also load
Automower with new software.
8.4 After winter storage
During a service the dealer can clean the mower
thoroughly, test its function and components as well as
replace wear parts if necessary. 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.
