How to Properly Store Your Segway Navimow Robotic Mower for Winter
Preparing your Segway Navimow for winter protects its battery, electronics, and moving parts. Follow the steps below to keep your mower in optimal condition until the next mowing season.
Why Proper Winter Storage Matters
Cold temperatures, moisture, and long periods without use can cause corrosion, battery deterioration, and damage to sensitive electronics. Proper storage prevents these issues and ensures a smooth start in spring.
1. Fully Charge the Battery and Power Off the Machine
Charge the Battery
Charge the mower’s battery to 85–100% before storing it. This helps prevent deep discharge and supports long-term battery health.
Power the Mower Off Completely
Switch the mower fully off, not into standby mode. Standby slowly drains the battery over time.
Ideal Battery Storage Conditions
If your model has a removable battery, store it separately in a cool, dry, frost-free place.
Whether removed or left inside the mower, aim for a stable temperature of 5–15°C.
2. Clean the Machine Thoroughly and Remove the Blades
Cleaning Steps
- Remove grass, dirt, and debris from the wheels, chassis, and underside.
- Use a soft brush and a damp cloth.
- Avoid pressure washers to protect sensitive components from water damage.
Blade Care
- Carefully turn the mower over and wear protective gloves.
- Remove the blades and clean them thoroughly.
- Clean the blade plate as well.
- Winter is an ideal time to replace worn or damaged blades.
3. Store the Navimow in a Dry, Frost-Free Space
Storage Environment
- Store indoors in a dry, frost-free location.
- Keep the mower upright on its wheels on a stable surface.
- Avoid humid areas and places with fluctuating temperatures.
Protective Packaging
- Use the original plastic cover and box if available.
- Ensure all connectors, cables, and charging components are kept clean and dry during storage.
