Working with blunt blades gives a poorer mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more energy is needed resulting in the product not mowing such a large area.

WARNING: The product must be turned off before any maintenance is done. The product is disabled when the indicator lamp on the ON/OFF button is not lit.

WARNING: Wear protective gloves.

5.2 Clean the product

It is important to keep the product clean. A product with large amounts of grass stuck to it will not cope as well with slopes. It is recommended to clean using a brush.

GARDENA offers a special cleaning and maintenance kit as an accessory. Contact your GARDENA central service.

CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure washer to clean the product. Never use solvents for cleaning.

5.2.1 Chassis and blade disc

Inspect the blade disc and blades once a week.

1. Press the STOP button.

2. Press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to turn off the product.

3. Check that the indicator lamp on the ON/OFF button is not lit.

4. If the product is very dirty, clean it by using a dish brush or a garden hose. Do not use a high-pressure washer.

5. Lift the product onto its side.

6. Clean the blade disc and chassis using for example a dish brush. At the same time, check that the blade disc rotates freely in relation to the foot guard. Also, check that the blades are intact and can pivot freely.

5.2.2 Wheels

Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as well as the rear wheel bracket. Grass on the wheels can impact on how the product performs in slopes.

5.2.3 Cover

Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the cover. If the cover is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up liquid.

5.2.4 Charging station

Clean the charging station regularly from grass, leaves, twigs and other objects that may impede docking.

WARNING: Use the plug to disconnect the charging station before any maintenance, or cleaning of charging station or power supply.

5.3 Replace the blades

WARNING: Use blades and screws of

the right type. GARDENA can only guarantee safety when using original blades. Only replacing the blades and reusing the screw can result in a screw wearing during mowing. The blades can then be propelled from under the body and cause serious injury.

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety reasons. Even if the blades are intact, they should be replaced on a regular basis for the best mowing result and low energy usage. All 3 blades and screws must be replaced at the same time to obtain a balanced cutting system. Use GARDENA original blades embossed with the crowned H-mark logotype, refer to

6.6 Find breaks in the loop wire

Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost, also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage the wire. Breaks can also occur due to the wire being stretched excessively during installation.

Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can damage wire insulation. Damage to the insulation may not cause disruptions until several weeks or months later. To avoid this,

always select the maximum cutting height the first weeks after installation and then lower the height one step at a time every second week until the desired cutting height has been reached.

A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to disruptions several weeks after the splice was done. A faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the original coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a pair of pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the original coupler has been used. Please first check all known splices before further troubleshooting is done.

953 - 002 - 12.12.2018 Troubleshooting - 45

A wire break can be located by gradually halving the distance of the loop where the break may have occurred until there is only a very short section of the wire left.

The following method does not work if

ECO

mode

is activated. Make sure first that

ECO

mode

is turned off. Refer to

ECO mode on page

1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging station flashes blue, which indicates a break in the boundary loop. Refer to

Indicator lamp

in the charging station on page 43

2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the charging station are properly connected and not damaged. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging station is still flashing blue.

GUIDE

POWER

3. Switch the connections between the guide wire and the boundary wire in the charging station.

Start by switching connection L and GUIDE.

If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green light, then the break is somewhere on the boundary wire between L and the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black line in the illustration).

GUIDE

Guide

To rectify the fault you will need boundary wire, connector(s) and coupler(s):

a) If the suspected boundary wire is short then it is easiest to exchange all of the boundary wire between L and the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black line).

b) If the suspected boundary wire is long (thick black line) then do as follows: Put L and GUIDE back to their original positions. Then disconnect R. Connect a new loop wire to R. Connect the other end of this new loop wire at the middle of the suspected wire section.

- Troubleshooting

953 - 002 - 12.12.2018

If the indicator lamp now is green, then the break is somewhere in the wire between the disconnected end to the point where the new wire is connected (thick black line below). In that case, move the connection for the new wire closer to the disconnected end (roughly at the middle of the suspected wire section) and check again if the indicator lamp is green.

Continue until only a very short section of the wire remains which is the difference between a solid green light and a flashing blue light. Then follow instruction in step 5 below.

4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3 above: Put L and GUIDE back in their original positions. Then switch R and GUIDE. If indicator lamp now is lit with a solid green light then disconnect L and connect a new boundary wire to L. Connect the other end of this new wire at the middle of the suspected wire section. Follow the same approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.

5. When the break is found, the damaged section must be replaced with a new wire. Always use original couplers.
