More homeowners are getting robotic lawn mowers because they help you keep your grass clean without any work. Once you set them up, they cut your grass while you relax or do other things. They save time and energy, but you still need to use them responsibly. Whether you’ve had yours for a while or you just bought one, this article will share some tips to keep your lawn neat and your home safe.
Every robotic automatic lawn mower has its own setup and procedures, so review the instruction manual from beginning to end. The instructions tell you how to set up the mower, what safety features it has, and whether it needs a boundary wire or has sensors built in to keep it from running into things. Also, it tells you how often to clean or take care of the mower so that it works effectively.
There are different kinds of robotic lawn mowers, but a lot of them use wires to stay on the lawn. If the cables aren’t put in the right spot, the mower could end up in garden beds or in tiny ponds. Always keep the wire away from any edges, and use the clips or stakes that come with it to hold it in place. If your mower has GPS, make sure to map out the area so it stays on the right course and doesn’t drift off.
Robotic lawn mowers may look simple, but the blades that revolve underneath are sharp and rapid, so safety is very important. Kids and dogs should never be around this equipment while it is running. Take note that some robotic lawn mowers can sense movement and halt, but you shouldn’t trust that alone. To avoid any risk, it’s ideal to plan mowing when pets are inside and kids aren’t in the yard.
Most robotic lawn mowers can handle changes in the weather, but strong rain or storms could break equipment inside or make the mower slip on wet grass. Wet grass adheres to the blades, which makes the cutting quality worse. If it’s raining or the ground is too soft, it’s best to wait until everything dries before mowing. If a storm comes while the mower is still outside, get it inside promptly to keep it safe.
Grass, dirt, and leaves can build up around the blades or wheels, which can make the mower run slower. Every few times you use it, switch off the power and carefully flip the mower over to look for buildup. Make sure nothing is stuck by using a cloth or brush to clean around the wheels and blade region. To maintain your mower cutting smoothly, replace the blades with the right ones if they look worn out.
Some robotic lawn mowers may still respond to movement or settings while in sleep mode. Turning it off completely keeps the blades from moving and starting up on their own. Unplugging the mower or taking out the battery before cleaning or fixing it is a good idea if your manual says to. While it may seem like a tiny extra step, it only takes a few seconds and can help keep you from getting hurt or cut.
Robotic lawn mowers make yard labor easier, but you still have to be careful so you don’t hurt yourself. Read the instructions and keep kids or pets away while it works. Don’t use the mower while it’s wet, turn it off before you touch it, and clean it to keep the mower functioning properly. Using the mower correctly and storing it safely will make it function better and keep your yard safe at the same time.
