A clean robot mower isn’t just about looks—it’s essential for performance, longevity, and safety. Whether you’re using the advanced Navimow H Series, the obstacle-savvy i Series, or the powerful X3 Series, regular maintenance is key to keeping your Segway robotic lawn mower in top condition.
This guide walks you through the right way to clean and care for your Segway Navimow, while also helping you understand why it matters.
Your robotic mower spends hours navigating your garden—cutting grass, dealing with slopes, and braving the British weather. Over time, grass clippings, mud, and debris can build up on critical components, affecting how your mower performs.
Proper cleaning and blade maintenance will:
Keep your mower cutting efficiently
Help avoid unexpected errors or shutdowns
Extend the overall service life of your investment
Ensure it docks and charges properly
Before diving into cleaning:
Turn off the mower completely
Never clean the mower while it’s charging or active
Power it off fully if you plan to flip it over for cleaning
Wear appropriate safety gear – long trousers and closed-toe work shoes are a must
Avoid bare feet or sandals
Wear heavy-duty gloves if you’re handling the blades
A bit of caution goes a long way toward keeping you safe while caring for your mower.
Use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe down the outside of your mower. This keeps it looking fresh and helps prevent dirt from making its way inside the housing.
Avoid:
Alcohol
Petrol or gasoline
Acetone
Any other harsh or corrosive solvents
These substances may damage the finish or compromise the internal seals and electronics.
Just like the mower itself, your charging station needs regular attention:
Remove grass clippings, mud or debris that may have accumulated
Check all connecting parts – especially where the extension cable and power supply plug in
Keep the docking area clear and level for a smooth return and recharge
A dirty charging dock can interrupt your mowing schedule, cause docking errors, or slow down charging.
The blade disc and underside chassis can quickly accumulate grime, especially during damp weather or after mowing tall grass.
Here’s how to clean them properly:
Use a brush or garden hose to gently wash away dirt
Never use a pressure washer – high-pressure jets can force water into the mower’s sealed areas, damaging electronics and mechanical parts
Ensure the blade disc rotates freely and that all blades pivot without resistance
This step ensures a consistent cut and helps prevent wear on internal components.
Your Navimow’s wheels do more than just move it around – they help it climb inclines and stay stable.
Check for mud, grass, and debris between the wheels
Clear away anything lodged in the treads
Ensure good grip for steeper terrain or slippery grass
This is especially important for models like the H Series, which handle slopes up to 45%.
The built-in rain sensor helps your mower avoid mowing in wet conditions – which can damage your lawn and the mower itself.
Inspect the sensor weekly
Wipe away mud, grass, or leaves that may be covering it
Use a soft cloth or brush or gently rinse it clean with water
A dirty sensor can cause the mower to operate when it shouldn’t, so keeping it clean ensures your lawn is treated with care.
Regular blade replacement is essential to ensure your mower delivers a clean, even cut every time. Over time, blades can dull, bend, or become unsafe.
Every 1–2 months if the mower is used regularly
Immediately if any blades are damaged, chipped, or bent
Replace all three blades and screws at the same time for safety and balance
Always wear heavy-duty gloves
Only use original Segway-approved blades (Model: HA002E)
Never reuse screws – they are designed for one-time use only
1. Turn off the mower completely
2. Place it upside down on a soft surface (like a towel or foam mat) to avoid scratching
3. Use a cross-tip screwdriver to loosen the screws
4. Remove and safely discard the old blades and screws
5. Install the new blades and screws, tightening securely
Blade changes take just a few minutes but dramatically impact mowing performance and safety.
Schedule a weekly maintenance check – a few minutes a week can prevent larger issues
After heavy rain or mowing wet grass, give the mower a quick wipe-down and wheel check
Keep the mower stored out of direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods
If you’re wintering your mower, deep clean it before storage, charge the battery to around 50%, and store it somewhere dry and frost-free
