8. MAINTENANCE
8. Maintenance
Check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary to improve operating
reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For further
information on cleaning, see 8.3 Cleaning.
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 2 to 4 months when used in areas
more than 300 m
2
in size and longer for smaller areas.
See 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 67 on how to
replace the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The edges of the grass are
not cut clean and more energy is needed
resulting in the robotic lawnmower not
mowing such a large area.
