Battery Care
- Charge to 85% or higher:Fully charge the mower’s battery before storing it for the winter to prevent self-discharge and maintain its health.
- Power it off:Disconnect the mower from the charging station and power it off before storage.
- Store indoors:A key recommendation is to bring the mower and its battery indoors, in a temperature-controlled environment, to protect them from freezing temperatures.
- Periodic checks:Even when stored indoors, check the battery charge every few months (around 120 days) and recharge if it drops below 20%.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Clean thoroughly: Remove all grass clippings, dirt, and other debris from the mower to prevent clogs and prolong its life.
- Inspect blades: Check the mower’s blades for any signs of wear and tear.
- Update software: The winter is an ideal time to ensure the mower’s software is up-to-date, which can improve its performance for the next season.
Station and Cables
- Protect the charging station:If you can’t bring the station indoors, shield it with a cover to protect it from snow and frost.
- Store indoors:It is best to bring the charging station indoors to a cool, dry environment for the winter.
General Tips
- Don’t mow in frost:Reduce or pause mowing entirely during frosty conditions as grass grows slowly and can be damaged.
- Consult the manual:Refer to the official Navimow manual for specific instructions tailored to your model.
