Docking Station
19.1 Robotic Mower
WARNING
After the mowing season is over, or any time the robotic
mower is not available for mowing operations, store the
iMow indoors in a dry, secure place that is inaccessible to
children and other unauthorized users, @ 5.4. Improper
storage can result in unauthorized use and damage to the
robotic mower, @ 5.4. Never place or store objects on the
robotic mower.
WARNING
If the robotic mower is damp or wet, dry it thoroughly before
storing to reduce the risk of short circuit and electric shock,
@ 5.4.
0478-131-3052-A
WARNING
High temperatures may cause the integrated battery to
generate heat, rupture, leak, ignite or explode, resulting in
severe or fatal personal injury or property damage, @ 5.5.
Store the robotic mower only within an ambient temperature
range of 32 °F to 122 °F (0 °C to 50 °C), @ 5.5. Never
store the robotic mower inside a vehicle in hot weather,
@ 5.5.
When storing the robotic mower for three months or longer
(e.g. winter break):
► Charge the battery fully, @ 12.4.
► Switch off automatic mowing, @ 14.3.
► Set the highest security level, @ 15.4.
► Activate the GPS protection feature, @ 15.4.
► Set "ECO" energy mode, @ 15.2.
► Activate the disabling device, @ 9.1.
► Clean the robotic mower, @ 20.
► Dock the robotic mower in the docking station.
► Store the robotic mower and docking station indoors in a
dry and secure location, out of the reach of children and
other unauthorized persons.
► At the end of the mowing season, protect the terminals
(connectors) removed from the docking station from
environmental damage by wrapping them with a generous
amount of insulating tape or storing them in a container
with grease so that they are protected from the elements.
NOTICE
Charging the battery fully before storage will help prevent
damage and prolong its useful life.
NOTICE
Avoid contacting the perimeter wire when de-thatching or
aerating the lawn. Also use caution when operating a line
trimmer near the perimeter wire. De-thatching, aerating and
trimming operations can result in a cut or damaged
perimeter wire. Refer to your sketch of the mowing area and
take special care to avoid the perimeter wire when
performing these operations.
