1. Regular cleaning of the mowing system, cameras, and sensors
The mowing system should be cleaned weekly. Grass clippings around the blades can affect your device's performance, so it's best to remove these clippings once a week. Turn off the motor for this, which can usually be done via the app on most devices. Use a wooden spatula or brush to wipe the blades clean. Avoid using a pressure washer.
Also, the proper functioning of the cameras and sensors is essential for a good result. A wireless robotic mower uses these technologies for accurate navigation. Therefore, it's important to wipe these regularly. Again, it's better to use a dry microfiber cloth instead of water.
2. Regularly check the status of your blades and replace if necessary
While cleaning, also check if the blades of your robotic mower are still sharp enough. Intensive use can cause wear and tear.
Sharp blades are important for the optimal functioning of your device, but also for the quality of your lawn. Dull blades can cause grass blades to tear, damaging your lawn. Additionally, your robotic mower has to work harder with dull blades to achieve the same result, which in turn requires more energy from the motor.
3. Ensure regular software updates
Software updates are regularly offered for your mowing robot. These updates ensure that your device remains up-to-date and performs well regarding AI applications, navigation, or mowing accuracy.
A golden tip: think of your battery when performing these updates: only start the software update when the robotic mower is in the charging station.
With these three tips, your robotic mower is ready for a summer of intensive mowing. The Navimow robotic mowers are truly your right hand when it comes to garden maintenance. For example, consider the X3 series from Navimow: the devices in this range can cover an area of over 5000 m2 in less than 24 hours. Additionally, these mowing robots are equipped with a state-of-the-art system to 'see' and 'feel' how the mowing robot moves. This system provides unparalleled stability and precision.
