8. Maintenance
Check and clean GARDENA R40Li regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary to improve operating
reliability and to ensure a longer service life. See 8.5
Cleaning for more details on cleaning.
When R40Li is first used, the blade disc and blades
should be inspected once a week. If the amount of
wear during this period has been low, the inspection
interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The
product life of the blades varies immensely and
depends for instance on:
• Operating time and size of the working area.
• Type of grass.
• Type of soil.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 2 to 4 months when used in areas
more than 300 m
2
in size and longer for smaller areas.
See 8.6 Replacing the blades for how on page 53 to
replace the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The edges of the grass are
not cut clean and more energy is needed
resulting in R40Li not mowing such a large
area.
