As we wrap up our winter series, we've got one final tip to ensure your robotic mower is in top shape when spring arrives: Check and Clean Your Charging Plates.
Over time, your mower's charging plates can accumulate grime, dirt, or even attract pests. This buildup can interfere with the efficiency of the charging process, potentially leading to incomplete charges or even mower downtime.
To keep your mower running smoothly:
-
Inspect the Plates: Take a moment to check the condition of the charging plates. Look for any visible dirt, rust, or debris that may have accumulated.
-
Clean with Care: If you notice any buildup, gently clean the plates using a fine-grade emery cloth. This will remove any grime without damaging the surface, ensuring a solid connection for charging.
- Prevent Future Buildup: Regularly cleaning the plates will not only extend the life of your mower but also ensure it charges efficiently every time.
