Learn how to turn off your Navimow robotic lawn mower safely and efficiently. Our comprehensive guide provides step-by-step information and valuable tips on how to deactivate the device so that you always remain in control.
Turning off the Navimow robotic lawn mower
Many garden owners are familiar with the Navimow robotic lawn mower, an efficient helper for lawn care. However, there may be situations where you need to turn off the robotic lawn mower—whether for maintenance, to perform a manual intervention, or simply to stop mowing.
- Turning off the Navimow robotic lawn mower is important to prevent unexpected movements or accidents. If the device is not switched off properly, it could start moving unexpectedly, which could be dangerous for both people and animals in the garden.
- Regular maintenance requires the robotic lawn mower to be switched off. For example, before cleaning or replacing the blades, the robot must be completely deactivated to prevent injury from accidentally starting the blades.
- Another reason to turn off the Navimow is an impending change in weather. The robotic lawn mower should not be operated in heavy rain or thunderstorms, as moisture can damage the electronics and compromise safety.
- Sometimes users want to control the robotic lawn mower manually or move it to a specific location. In such cases, it is necessary to switch off the device so that it can be lifted and transported safely.
Instructions: How to turn off the Navimow robotic lawn mower
Before turning off the Navimow robotic lawn mower, make sure that the process is carried out correctly to avoid damage to the device.
- Disconnect the robotic lawn mower from the charging station. The Navimow cannot be switched off while it is in the charging station. To switch off the Navimow, first locate the main switch or control panel on the device. This is usually located in an easily accessible place on the top or side of the robotic lawn mower.
- Press the switch or hold down the OK button until the display goes blank or a beep sounds to confirm that the device has been turned off. This usually takes three to four seconds. It is important to perform this step carefully to ensure that all of the robot’s systems have been shut down.
- Notes: If the anti-theft function is activated, you must enter the PIN code before switching off. If child lock is activated (via the app), the physical start button may be disabled. In this case, the lock must be released in the app before you can switch off the robot.
- After the robot is turned off, we recommend storing it safely. If the robotic mower will not be used for an extended period of time, also consider removing the battery or placing the device in a dry place to protect it from the elements.
- If your Navimow has app control, you can also switch it off using the corresponding mobile application. Ensure that the connection is stable and follow the instructions in the app to safely deactivate the robot.
Care after switching off the Navimow robotic lawn mower
Regular care and maintenance of a robotic lawn mower are crucial for its longevity and efficiency. After switching off the Navimow, there are a few important steps you should take to keep the device in good condition.
- Thoroughly clean the underside of the robotic mower, especially the blades, to remove grass clippings and dirt. This will prevent corrosion and ensure that the cutting blades work effectively the next time they are used.
- Regularly check the wheels and sensors of the device for debris. Small stones or dirt can impair functionality and should be removed to ensure a smooth ride.
- Check the battery charge level if the robotic lawn mower is not used for a long period of time. Complete discharge can shorten the battery life, so it is advisable to recharge it occasionally.
- Make sure that the robot mower’s software is up to date. Manufacturers often offer updates that include new features or safety improvements. These should be installed regularly to optimize the performance of the device.
Troubleshooting when turning off the Navimow
Despite all precautions, the Navimow robotic lawn mower may not work as expected or you may encounter problems when turning it off. Below are some common problems and their solutions to help you quickly regain full control of your robotic lawn mower.
- If the robotic lawn mower does not respond, first check that the battery is charged. An empty battery may prevent the device from switching off or starting properly. Charge the battery fully and try again.
- Sometimes the main switch may be defective. In this case, the switch should be checked by a professional and replaced if necessary to restore the robotic lawn mower to full functionality.
- If the robotic lawn mower moves despite being deactivated, there may be a software error. Update the software via the manufacturer’s website or contact customer service for technical assistance.
- If problems persist, refer to the manufacturer’s user manual or contact technical support. These resources often provide detailed troubleshooting instructions and can help resolve the issue.
