7.1 Cleaning
Clean the body and chassis on the Husqvarna
Automower™ regularly. The best way to clean the
body is with a damp sponge or cloth. The underside
of the body, wheels, skid plate and blade disc are
best cleaned with a brush (for example, a dish-brush).
A spray bottle with water and a small amount of
washing-up liquid can help to remove dried dirt and
grass. Dismantle the body to clean the body and
chassis more meticulously.
NOTE! Never use a high pressure washer or even
running water.
The main switch should be in the OFF position. Wear
gloves when cleaning the underside of the body.
It is important to clean off any grass and dirt between
the skid plate and the blade disc as well as between
the blade disc and the rubber bellows. Dismantle the
skid plate and blade disc to be able to clean more
meticulously. Run the blade motor using the test
function (shortcut 5-2-1). Listen for unusual noises
when the blade motor is running. Also test at different
cutting heights.
Check when cleaning the mowing system:
• That the bearings are okay. Replace the bearings
if necessary.
• That the bearing cage and hub are not worn.
Check for play on the skid plate. There should be
no play on the plate so that it touches the blades’
screw heads.
7.2 Winter storage
Before the Automower is put away for the winter the
following should be done:
• Clean the entire mower thoroughly.
• Dismantle the blade disc and clean all areas
around blades, bearings and bearing shell.
• Dismantle the drive wheel and remove grass and
other objects from the motor axles. Clean the
tread on the wheels. Fit the wheels again.
• Check that the rubber bellows on the mowing
system are not damaged.
• Set the main switch to the OFF position.
• Charge the mower fully, leave the mower in the
charging station for a week if possible. The mower
must not be left in the charging station during the
whole winter storage. For maximum battery life,
