7 Transportation, storage and disposal
7.1 Transportation
The contained lithium-ion-batteries are subject to the
Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. For
commercial transports e.g. by third parties or forwarding
agents, special requirement on packaging and labeling
must be observed. Consult an expert for hazardous
material for preparation of the item being shipped.
Please also observe possibly more detailed national
regulations.
Tape off open contacts and pack up the battery in such
a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging.
Always secure the product when transporting it.
7.2 Winter storage
7.2.1 The robotic lawnmower
The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully before
putting it away for the winter. See
Clean the robotic
lawnmower on page 36
.
To guarantee battery functionality and service life, it is
important to charge the robotic lawnmower before
storing it away for the winter. Place the robotic
lawnmower in the charging station with the hatch open
until the battery icon in the display shows that the
battery is fully charged. Then set the main switch to
0
.
Check the condition of wear items such as blades and
bearings in the rear wheel. Rectify if necessary to make
sure the robotic lawnmower is in good condition prior to
next season.
Store the robotic lawnmower standing on all wheels and
place it in a dry, frost-free environment, preferably in the
mower’s original packaging. You can also hang the
robotic lawnmower on a McCULLOCH original wall
hanger. Contact your local McCULLOCH representative
for more information about available wall hangers.
CAUTION: The battery must be charged fully
before winter storage. If the battery is not fully
charged it can be damaged and in certain cases
be rendered useless.
7.2.2 The charging station
Store the charging station and power supply indoors.
The boundary wire and the guide wire can be left in the
ground.
1. Disconnect the charging station power supply.
2. Release the connector lock and pull the connector
out.
3. Disconnect the boundary and guide wire contacts
from the charging station.
The ends of the wires should be protected from damp by
putting them in a container with grease for instance.
CAUTION: If it is not possible to store the
charging station indoors, the charging station
must be connected to the mains, the boundary
wire and the guide wires the entire winter.
7.3 After winter storage
Check if cleaning is needed, particularly the charging
strips on both the robotic lawnmower and the charging
station. If the charging strips appear to be burnt or
coated, clean them using a fine grade emery cloth.
Check also that the robotic lawnmower's time and date
are correct.
7.4 Environmental information
The symbol on the McCULLOCH robotic
lawnmower indicates that this product
cannot be treated as domestic waste. It
should instead be left at a suitable
recycling centre to recycle its electronic
components and batteries. The battery
must be removed from the product before
it is scrapped.
By ensuring that this product is taken care of correctly,
you can help to counteract the potential negative impact
on the environment and people that can otherwise result
through incorrect waste management of this product.
For more detailed information about recycling this
product, contact your municipality, your domestic waste
service or the shop from where you purchased the
product.
