8. Maintenance
Check and clean your YARD FORCE Robot Mower regularly and replace worn parts if nec-
essary, preferably use a dry brush, a damp cloth or a sharpened wooden piece. Never use
flushing water.
If this maintenance instruction is followed the mower life would be long.
8.1. Battery Life
The YARD FORCE Robot Mower has a maintenance free Lithium battery, with an estimated
life of more than 2 years (depending on treatment and usage). This battery is easy to take
out of the robot (we recommend you to take it out fully charged), and keep in a dry place
if possible indoors during winter storage and it is recommended to make a supplementary
charge every 3rd month to keep the battery in best condition for long life and ready for the
Spring season.
8.2. Winter Storage
During winter we recommend to keep your mower and charging station in a shed or ga-
rage, and if possible the charging station, transformer and battery indoors.
The following preparation should be carried out before winter storage:
1. Clean your Mower thoroughly
2. Charge the battery completely
3. Ensure the Mower isolated switch is OFF
4. Disconnect the Charger / power supply from Mains.
5. Disconnect the Charger/ Power supply from the charging station
6. Disconnect the boundary wire connections from the Charging station then lift and
clean, the boundary wire can be left outside overwinter but ensure the connections
are protected by water-free grease, tape or the like to prevent corrosion.
It is advisable to repack the product in the supplied carton after cleaning and charging,
with all 4 wheels flat in the box, or by storing on a clean shelf or garage.
Before winter storage if possible the Product can be taken to a recommended dealer for a
more complete cleaning, where all functions will be tested and adjusted, worn parts will be
replaced and software will be upgraded if necessary.
