When is the best time to store your robot for winter?

Here are our tips to properly store your autonomous robot mower:

The machine's storage should be done after completing the last cut of the season and after having cleaned the robot properly.
This can vary from area to area, e.g. in southern Europe this can be done towards the end of October, whereas for northern European areas the last cut should be done towards the end of September/beginning of October; of course, it depends on the temperatures.


How to clean your robotic lawn mower

Before storing your robot mower for the winter, clean it well by following the steps below:

  • Keep the dashboard closed during the entire cleaning process;
  • Keep the robot in the working position (i.e. horizontal, wheels down) if you are using a direct water flow for cleaning. Always keep the dashboard cover closed.
  • If the robot is upside down during the cleaning process (e.g. if you are cleaning the blades), simply use a brush. No direct water flow is allowed when the robot is upside down. This position could allow dust, grass or water to penetrate into the more delicate mechanical parts of the robot mower;
  • Use a gentle brush to remove stubborn dirt;
  • Use a wet cloth to clean the STIGA robot mower.

How do you store your autonomous robot mower for winter?

During winter season, let your robot "rest", in order to be ready for the new mowing season.
The docking and the reference station can be left in the garden, even though we highly recommend to cover them and protect from rain, cold and snow.
It's easy, just use a nylon bag, or a simple water-resistant box.
As regards the robot mower, it is better to bring it inside and store it in its pack or box. Let it "rest" for the whole winter in a dry and warm place.
Before the final storage, don't forget to take some time to properly clean the robot.
