NOTICE: Be sure to observe the following items to prevent the
mower blades from falling off.
• Use the screws supplied with the mower blades. (Do not
reuse the removed screws)
• Firmly tighten the screws so that they are not loose.
Periodic inspections
Periodically check the following points.
Inspection

Robotic Mower Is there any abnormality with the mower blades? If mowing cannot be performed well, turn off the power switch, check the mower
Is the Robotic Mower traveling stable?
Is abnormal sound produced?
Can docking be performed correctly?

Is the charging station properly fixed?
Has foreign matter adhered to the terminals?
Is the guide wire protruding from the station
base?

and cabtire inserted firmly all the way?
cable
Are the cables damaged?
Work location Are any foreign objects present?
Is there any change in the work environment?
Is there any abnormality with the boundary wire
and guide wire installation?
Handling after the season ends
After mowing season ends, remove the following parts from where
they are installed and store them indoors.
• Robotic Mower
• Charging station
• AC adapter
• Cabtire cable
NOTICE: Charge the Robotic Mower before storage.
NOTE: The boundary wire and guide wire(s) can be left installed.
Clean the Robotic Mower and charging station before storing them. In
addition, follow the procedures below to remove each part.
Removing the AC adapter
1. Unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet.
2.
Remove the cabtire cable.
3. If the AC adapter is fixed to a wall, remove it from the wall.
► Fig.75
NOTE: Remove the AC adapter in the order of the numbers shown
in the illustration.
Check item
blades for wear, cracks, or chips, and replace the mower blades if necessary.
If the Robotic Mower travels unstable, turn off the power switch and check if there
is any damage to the wheels and axles or if any foreign objects are caught or
rubbish and dirt has accumulated on the wheels and axles. If the problem is not
resolved, contact our sales office.
If abnormal sound is produced, turn off the power switch and check if there are any
foreign objects caught in the rotating parts of the wheels and the mower blades. If
the problem is not resolved, contact our sales office.
If docking cannot be performed, turn off the power switch, move the Robotic
Mower by hand, and check whether proper docking with the charging station is
possible. If proper docking is not possible, check the following points.
- Remove any obstacles from near the wheels.
- Attach the top cover correctly. (The top cover should be fixed in three places)
- If the ground under the station base is uneven, smooth it.
If it is lighted or blinking red or off, the Robotic Mower will be unable to execute
mowing. Check the following points and take the appropriate countermeasures.
- Is the AC adapter connected properly to a power outlet?
- Is the cabtire cable connected properly to the AC adapter and the charging
station?
- Are the boundary wire connectors connected properly to the charging station?
- Are couplers attached on the boundary wire connected properly?
- Is the boundary wire broken partway?
If the charging station moves, retighten the screw pegs with the hex wrench 6.
Some adhered matter may hinder proper communication and charging. Clean
away any dirt on the charging terminal and other terminals.
If the guide wire protrudes from the groove of the station base, insert it again.
If a power outlet or connection terminal insertion is loose, insert it again.
If a cable sheath is peeled or severely damaged, contact our sales office.
Clear away any objects that may damage the mower blades or get caught in the
rotating parts of the Robotic Mower. (Small stones, sticks, rubbish, string-like
objects, etc.)
Take the following countermeasures.
- If the grass height exceeds 65 mm, cut it down to that height or less.
- Clear away any weeds that are higher than the lawn.
- Fill in any holes or depressions and smooth out local unevenness.
- Refrain from use if there are deep puddles or snow accumulation.
If the wires float from the ground, fix them again with the pegs.
5. Remove the metal rod fixing the blade base, and return the
upside-down Robotic Mower to its original condition.

NOTE: After replacing the mower blades, remember to turn on the
power switch of the Robotic Mower when restarting.
Countermeasures
Removing the charging station
CAUTION: Wear gloves when performing the work.
1. Open the covers of the charging station and remove the cabtire cable.
► Fig.76
2. Pull off the boundary wire and guide wire terminals, and remove
each wire from the charging station.
3.
Remove the screw pegs from the station base using the hex
wrench 6.
► Fig.77
Storage
NOTICE: Store the Robotic Mower in the condition with the
power switch turned off.
NOTICE: Wipe clean the terminal parts of the charging station,
wires, and cables with a dry cloth, etc. before storing them.
Storage with dirt adhered may result in rust or corrosion.
NOTICE: Place the screws used to fix the charging station and
the AC adapter in a bag or other container and store them care-
fully so as not to lose them.
Store in a location that satisfies the following conditions.
• A flat and stable location
• A location out of direct sunlight and not exposed to rain or snow,
etc.
