Insect-damaged charging station for robotic lawnmower
Introduction
Insects can cause problems in the robotic lawnmower's charging station by building nests or leaving debris. Follow these steps to inspect, clean, and prevent insect-related issues.
Step 1: Safety first
- Turn off the robotic lawnmower and unplug it from the charging station so that there is no power connected.
Step 2: Inspect the charging station
- Carefully open the charging station (To open the charging tower, simply remove the round nuts, and you will find two clips, one on each side. Press them and then lift the cover up) and check for:
- Signs of insects, such as nests or dead insects.
-
- Debris blocking connections or ventilation.
- Visible damage to electrical components.
Step 3: Clean the charging station
- Clean the charging station to remove debris and insects.
- Clean the charging contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using water or liquid cleaners.
Step 4: Assess damage
- Check if any electrical contacts are corroded, damaged, or burnt.
- If there is visible damage to electrical components or burnt plugs, they should be replaced.
