Introduction
Insects can cause problems in the robotic lawn mower's charging station by building nests or leaving debris. Follow these steps to inspect, clean, and prevent insect-related issues.
Step 1: Safety First
- Turn off the robotic lawn mower and unplug it from the charging station, so there is no power connected.
Step 2: Inspect the Charging Station
- Carefully open the charging station (To open the charging tower, you will find two clips, one on each side. Press them and then lift the lid up) and check for:
- Signs of insects, such as nests or dead insects.
- Debris blocking connections or ventilation.
- Visible damage to electrical components.
Step 3: Clean the Station
- Clean the charging station to remove debris and insects.
- Wipe the charging contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using water or liquid cleaners.
Step 4: Assess Damage
- Check if any electrical contacts are corroded, damaged, or burnt.
- If there is visible damage to electrical components or burnt plugs, they should be replaced.
- Contact customer service for assistance.
