Make sure that the cutting area is even and has no ditches, grooves and steep slopes above 20° that are clear obstruc- tions for the machine. Cut the main area of the lawn with a conventional mower to a max. height of 40 mm and the perimeter wire area to a max. height of 20 mm. Installation For a video guide on how to install the Indego please visit www.bosch-indego.com or use the following QR-Code. Select a position for the docking station, horizontally levelled and out of direct sunlight. Note: The docking station must be positioned on the wire at an outer edge of the cutting area. It cannot be positioned by the side of a shed or workshop that appears as an island with- in the cutting area. Make sure that the docking station is placed beside the cut- ting area with a straight 1.5 m track in front of the docking sta- tion and a straight 1 m track behind. Whilst stood in the grass area to be cut it is important that the docking station charging pins point to the left. (see figure 2) Note: If the docking station is positioned with the charging pins pointing either into the grass area or pointing to the right the Indego will not run correctly. Pull the wire end through the front hole of the base plate and straight through the wire duct and the rear hole. Fix the wire with a peg inline with the hole. Cut off insulation carefully and connect the wire to the right hand (red) terminal. (see figures 5–6) Fix the docking station with 4 supplied fixing pins to the ground. (see figure 7) Lay out the perimeter wire anti-clockwise and flush to the ground. Observe the minimum distances from lawn edges, steps, walls, ponds, etc. Use the spacing guide. (see figure 8) Note: The cable should be positioned so that the Indego will not be more than 16 m away at anytime. If the working area borders against a flat path or surface that is level with the lawn the Indego will be able to run over it. In such cases the perimeter wire should be positioned right up to the edge of the lawn. Note: Perimeter wire can be buried up to a maximum depth of 5 cm. It is recommended to mark out permanent objects within the garden. This will prevent the In- dego colliding with the object and reduce wear on the shell. Objects on the lawn below 6 cm height e.g. trees, ponds, flow- er beds etc. must be delimited in a clockwise direction.

Height of cut: The height of cut for the Indego can be adjusted between 20 mm and 60 mm (see figure 19). The height of cut dial offers 10 separate settings (approx. 20 mm, 24 mm, 29 mm, 33 mm, 38 mm, 42 mm, 47 mm, 51 mm, 56 mm and 60 mm). Note: The Indego’s cutting system is designed to cut small lengths of grass (3–5 mm) so that the clippings can mulch down and fertilise the lawn. Note: For the first 3 weeks of usage set the height of cut be- tween 5 and MAX to prevent the perimeter wire being cut. Af- ter 3 weeks the wire will be covered by the lawn. For best mowing results, set up a frequent mowing schedule for longer lasting battery and for preventing debris on the lawn. Once mowing has started: –in the “Manual” mode, the machine operates until the lawn area has been cut or until the manual stop button is pressed. It only pauses mowing for charging. – in the programmable “Custom” mode, the machine oper- ates continuously within a slot. It only pauses mowing for charging.

This learning occurs during the first two cutting cycles. Below is an explanation of how the Indego learns the lawn shape. How it works To mow efficiently the Indego maps the outline of the lawn ar- ea and the location of the objects within it (trees, flowerbeds, ponds, etc) that are marked out with perimeter wire during in- stallation. This allows the Indego to plan where it needs to cut the grass, where it has cut the grass and also its route to and from the docking station. This allows the Indego to complete the task of mowing more efficiently. Mapping the cutting area (see figure 20) After setup the Indego will first map out the shape of the gar- den. This is done by following the perimeter wire placed around the edge of the garden. Whilst following the perimeter wire the Indego is measuring the distances. The Indego then builds up a map of the garden that is saved into its memory. Note: The Indego does not follow the wire to the inner bound- aries. Learning the location of garden objects marked out with the perimeter wire (see figure 20) Once the Indego has the cutting area mapped it can start to cut the grass. After pressing “Mow Now” the Indego will leave the docking station and start to cut the grass in parallel lanes. For accuracy the parallel lanes are limited to approximately 10 m. It will continue cutting in these lanes until it completes a section of the cutting area or until it discovers an object that has been marked out using the perimeter wire. Once an object is discovered the Indego will follow the perim- eter wire around it to establish its shape. The Indego will then drive to the perimeter wire at the edge of the cutting area to confirm the location of the object within the garden map. The Indego will then continue mowing. This process will be repeat- ed if the Indego discovers additional objects whilst mowing. The Indego will complete the mowing then return to the dock- ing station. Note: This process will be continued the 2nd time the Indego cuts the grass. This is to make sure that all objects in the gar- den are discovered and their location on the garden map is accurately logged. If there are no more objects in the garden the Indego will con- tinue to cut the grass as normal. In case a new inner boundary (e. g. flower bed) should be marked up after the installation is complete, this can be done by adding extra cable with a wire connector. (see figure 10) Mowing mode (see figure 20) Once the Indego has learnt the location of all the objects in the garden it will mow the garden in an efficient parallel lane pat- tern. Dual Speed Cutting If the Indego encounters deep or thick grass whilst cutting it will automatically increase the RPM of the cutting system and slow the drive speed until it has cut the area of higher grass. Border Cutting Mode The Indego will cut around the perimeter wire. The frequency of the border cut can be selected. The default is set to every fourth cutting slot. Cutting Lane Proximity The Indego cuts the lawn using parallel lanes up to 10 m in length. The distance between the lanes is set to 20 cm but will be reduced automatically if the grass height increases. Once the grass is cut the Indego will return to the default distance between the lanes. This setting can be adjusted by the user in the Indego menu. Sensors The machine has following sensors: – lift sensor, will be activated if the machine is lifted and cause the machine and cutting blades to stop – roll over sensor, will detect when the machine is inverted and cause the machine and cutting blades to stop – obstruction sensor, tactile detection for obstacle any- where in the full width of the path of the machine and cause the machine to change its direction – tilt sensor, will be activated if the machine reaches an an- gle of 45° If one of the sensors is activated, such as lift sensor, the screen will show a message, e. g. “Machine has been lifted. Please enter PIN code to continue”. The display switches into sleep mode, if no input is made for 10 minutes. Press any but- ton to reactivate the screen. If the machine is in sleep mode, press any button to change to the PIN entry screen and enter the PIN code. Battery Charging The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al- lows charging only in the temperature range between 5 °C and 45 °C. The lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. To en- sure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the ma- chine in the docking station before first use. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re- ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery. When the battery is run down or discharged, the machine is shut off by means of a protective circuit: the blade no longer moves.
