1.7 Mowing technique
The Automower mowing system is based on an
efficient and energy saving principle. Unlike many
traditional lawn mowers, Automower cuts the grass
instead of striking it off.
Mowing in different weather
We recommend you allow the Automower to mainly
mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result.
Automower can even mow in the rain, however, wet
grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of
slipping on steep slopes is greater.
When there is a risk of a thunder storm, the 230 V
(120V) plug should be removed from the mains socket
and the boundary wire disconnected from the charging
station.
Blades
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the
best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp
for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn
free from branches, small stones and other objects.
Poor or dull blades can result in the grass bending
instead of being mown, the tops become frayed and
Automower may find it difficult to mow a large
working area. Besides, the lawn can become
extremely rumpled and uneven.
It is more important to have well-kept and sharp
blades on an Automower, than on a conventional
lawn mower. It is the principle of the Automower
cutting the grass instead of knocking it off that makes
this difference.
The double ground blades and a mower program that
rotates the blade disc in both directions increase the
life of the blades.
There are two blade variants with different
characteristics to choose from as accessories. The
optional blade (535 13 87-02 (9 pcs), 535 13 88-02
(30 pcs)) can have a slightly longer service life than the
original blade in some installations
. The optional blade
can also be ground.
NOTE! Worn blades of the type 535 13 87-01 and 535
13 88-01 should not be ground or sharpened and then
reused. This is to prevent the mowing system from
becoming imbalanced. Do not reuse old screws either.
When the blades are worn, all three blades and the
screws must be replaced with new ones.
