Changing seasons also alter the lawing schedule, and performance of the robotic lawn mower. Many owners often ask themselves; how should they store their robotic mowers in winters, and how to bring it out of its hibernation mode during summers. Mowing at the right time of the day while the temperature is just right, is consequential for your lawn, and the robotic mower. Mowing the lawn during the day would cause your grass to get burnt.

Spring and Summer Care Tips

Before you mow the lawn after a long winter, during spring you must take time out and check the robot. Here are a few things you should check for in the robotic lawn mower:

1. Sharpness of the knives.
2. The signal between the charging station and the device.
3. Time and data.
4. Battery charge, and percentage.
5. Software updates of the lawn robot mower.
6. Updates on the app.
7. Grass clippings buildup.

Also, if there are any new obstacles in your garden, such as a new fountain, or flower pots, you need to reset the boundary wall to adapt to the new conditions.

During summers, one thing to consider for mowing is the temperature. Mowing at the right time is important for the overall health of the lawn, and the longevity of the lawn robotic mower. The best time to mow during scorching summers is early evening, or before noon. This would help the robot avoid the sun and heat that comes with it.

Autumn and Winter Care Tips

Grass grows quite slowly during autumn and winter seasons. So, there is really no point in mowing during colder seasons. This is the time for your robotic lawn mower to get its well-deserved break and go on hibernation mode. Low temperatures, rain and snow can damage the mower’s components; therefore, you should store it indoors. Don’t forget to protect the charging station, while the mower is on its well-deserved break. The best time to store the mower should be before the temperatures go down to 10 degrees Celsius, which is usually in the late October or sometimes early November.

Before you store away your robotic lawn mower, take the following steps:

1. Charge the battery. Fully charging the battery would prevent the robotic lawn mower from a deep discharge, thereby increasing its battery life.
2. Switch off automatic mowing, and make sure the option for highest security level has been selected.
3. Perform a thorough checkup of the robotic lawn mower and make sure it is in perfect working condition, such as the sharpness of the blades.
4. Lastly, clean the robotic lawn mower before storing it for the winters.

Conclusion

Caring for the robotic lawn mower during different seasons would help improve its performance, making sure that you get the maximum out of the robotic lawn mower. The simple care tips I wrote above are essential to making sure your lawn keeps its appearance, without compromising on the functioning of the robotic lawn mower.
