How to avoid frequent breakdowns of your Gardena SILENO mowing system

The Gardena SILENO minimo robotic mower for areas up to 250 m² is known for its reliability and efficiency. However, like any device, it can encounter problems, especially with its cutting system. Here are some tips to prevent these breakdowns and ensure optimal longevity for your mower.

Understanding the cutting system of the Gardena SILENO

SensorCut technology

The Gardena SILENO is equipped with SensorCut technology, which ensures an even cut without leaving any traces on the lawn. This random cutting system is particularly suitable for gardens with obstacles.

Cutting width and adjustable height

With a cutting width of 16 cm and an adjustable height between 20 and 45 mm, the SILENO offers flexibility to adapt to different conditions of your lawn.

Regularly maintain the blades

Cleaning the blades

After each use, it is recommended to clean the blades to prevent the accumulation of grass residues. The SILENO minimo has been designed so that a simple spray with a garden hose thoroughly cleans the housing, blades, and wheels of dirt, dust, and grass debris.

Sharpening and replacing the blades

Well-sharpened blades ensure a clean cut and reduce the strain on the motor. It is advisable to regularly check their condition and replace them if necessary. Worn blades can lead to uneven cutting and put more stress on the cutting system.

Avoid obstacles and debris on the lawn

Preparing the ground

Before each mowing, ensure that the lawn is free of branches, stones, or other objects that could damage the blades. Although the SILENO is equipped with highly responsive collision sensors that ensure the mower operates safely, without accidents or damage to your garden, it is best to prevent any contact with hard objects.

Using the CorridorCut function

Thanks to the CorridorCut function, the SILENO can mow even in narrow passages starting from 60 cm. However, it is important to ensure that these areas are clear to avoid any blockage or damage to the cutting system.

Programming suitable mowing cycles

Mowing frequency

Regular mowing helps maintain a healthy lawn and reduces the load on the cutting system. The SILENO minimo can be controlled from your smartphone up to 10 m away via the GARDENA Bluetooth® app, making it easy to program mowing cycles.

Weather conditions

Although the SILENO is designed to operate in all weather conditions, including rain, it is recommended to avoid mowing when the grass is too wet, as this can lead to a buildup of debris under the deck and put extra strain on the cutting system.

Properly storing the mower

Protection against the elements

When the SILENO is not in use, it is advisable to store it in a dry place and protected from the elements. Although the mower is designed to work in the rain, proper storage extends its lifespan.

Seasonal maintenance

Before extended periods of inactivity, such as winter, carry out a complete maintenance of the mower, including cleaning the blades, checking the sensors, and fully charging the battery. This ensures optimal reactivation in the spring.

By following these tips, you will extend the lifespan of your Gardena SILENO cutting system and maintain a pristine lawn year-round.
