ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER TERMS & CONDITIONS

Maintenance

​

Robot lawn mowers are mechanically much simpler than conventional lawn mowers. Conventional lawn mowers which use internal combustion engines and heavy-duty cutting mechanisms have far more moving parts that are at risk of breakdown or failure. These need regular maintenance to ensure that they remain in working order. Robot lawn mowers use electric motors, lithium-ion batteries, and very simple cutting mechanisms.

For this reason, the maintenance requirements of a robot lawn mower are considerably less than a conventional lawnmower. Typically, you will have to clean the underside of your robot lawnmower every few weeks to ensure there is no excessive build-up of grass clippings. You will have to change the blades of your robot lawnmower according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The battery may need to be replaced every 3-5 years depending on usage and your individual battery. You can usually tell when your battery needs replaced as the cutting time will decrease significantly. This is the time to go ahead and order a replacement battery, rather than waiting for the battery to fail completely.  The robot should not be left outside in freezing conditions as this will also decrease the robot batteries life.
