Avoiding Common Issues When Using a Robot Mower

Robot mowers are a high-tech way to keep your lawn looking healthy, vibrant and well-maintained. However, there are certain issues to be aware of that can cause the robot mower to malfunction. We’ll cover the 5 most common issues to avoid when using a robot mower.

First, ensure the robot mower is able to charge correctly. This is important; without the correct charge, the robot mower won’t be able to mow your lawn adequately. A good battery should last for about 40 minutes. If the battery drops below this level, the robot mower may cease to function.

Second, it’s necessary to check the cutting system regularly. The blades should be sharp and not have any debris that could impede the performance. Small rocks or stones can cause the blades to break and the motor could potentially burn out.

Third, beware of unexpected obstacles. If the robot mower does not detect obstacles, it will try to move through them. This can cause the robot mower to malfunction or break. Putting up signs to clearly indicate obstacles, or putting a wire fence around certain areas, can help the robot mower avoid these issues.

Fourth, clean the robot mower so it can work effectively. Regularly clean and wipe the robot mower to ensure that there are no dirt, dust, or other debris that will impede the robot mower’s performance.

Finally, ensure that the robot mower has a proper GPS connection. GPS connection is necessary for the robot mower to function accurately. If the GPS connection is not properly configured, it could lead to the robot mower becoming stuck.

Robot mowers can be a great asset when it comes to lawn maintenance, but it’s important to be mindful of potential problems that can arise. Avoiding these five common issues can help you get the most out of your robot mower.

    It is recommended to mow and fertilize your lawn prior to setting up a robot mower. Ensure that your lawn is trimmed neat, there are no bumps and the uncut grass is no higher than 3-4 cm. Before mowing, remove any leaves, stones, branches and other materials from the lawn surface that could cause an obstruction.

  2. Can robot mowers work on steep slopes?

  5. Can a robot mower be used in rainy weather?
