Winter Storage

Winter Storage

To ensure your robot is in optimal condition for the next mowing season, store the robot, charging station,
and RTK reference station properly. If the ambient temperature drops below -20°C (-4°F) during winter,
keep the robot, RTK reference station, and charging station indoors.
Store Robot
  • Control the robot off the charging station, ensuring the robot has been fully charged.
  • Power off the robot.
  • Clean the robot (the housing, wheels, chassis, vision module, etc.) with a damp cloth or soft brush. You can wash the robot if necessary. DO NOT turn the robot upside down to clean its chassis with water.
  • Leave the robot to get dry. DO NOT turn it upside down during this process.
  • Apply anti-corrosion lubricant to the charging pads. DO NOT apply the chemicals to any other parts tof the robot, especially metal contact areas, except for the connectors.
  • Store the robot indoors.
Store Charging Station
  • Disconnect the power supply.
  • Remove the stakes.
  • Use a brush and cloth to clean the charging station thoroughly.
  • Remove the charging station and the power supply.
  • Store the charging station and the power supply indoors.
  In the next mowing season, reinstall the charging station, then relocate it (See Relocate the Charging Station for more information) and remap a channel between the charging station and the task area using the Mammotion app

Store RTK Reference Station
  If the ambient temperature is above -20°C (-4°F) in winter:
  • Unplug the RTK reference station.
  • Twine the RTK reference station cable around the station and tighten the protective cap.
  • Cover the RTK reference station with a plastic bag or cover.
  If you follow these steps and do not move the RTK reference station, you will not need to delete the map and remap for the next mowing season.
  If the ambient temperature is below -20°C (-4°F) in winter:
  • If the RTK reference station is installed on the ground, follow the steps below:
  • Delete the map in the Mammotion app.
  • Unplug the RTK reference station.
  • Remove the RTK reference station from the mounting pole.
  • Remove the antenna.
  • Use a cloth to clean the RTK reference station.
  • Remove the mounting pole.
  In the next season, reinstall the RTK reference station and remap in the Mammotion app.
  • If the RTK reference station is installed on the wall/roof, follow the steps below:
  • Unplug the RTK reference station.
  • Remove the RTK reference station from the wall mounting pole.
  • Remove the antenna.
  • Use a cloth to clean the RTK reference station.
  In the next mowing season, reinstall the RTK reference station in its original position. There is no need to delete the map and remap as the location of the RTK reference station remains unchanged
