4. How the robotic mower works

4.1 Operating principle

The robotic mower (1) is designed for the automatic mowing of lawns. It mows the lawn in randomly selected paths.

In order for the robotic mower to detect the borders of the mowing area A, a perimeter wire (2) must be routed around that area. A signal generated by the docking station (3) flows through this perimeter wire.

Solid obstacles (4) in the mowing area are reliably detected by the robotic mower by means of an impact sensor. Areas (5) that

the robotic mower is not to enter and obstacles that need to be avoided must be separated from the mowing area using the perimeter wire.

When automatic mowing is switched on, the robotic mower independently leaves the docking station and mows the lawn during the active times set ( 10.7) . The robotic mower automatically travels to the docking station to recharge the battery. The number and duration of the mowing and charging

operations within the active times are adapted automatically. This guarantees that the required weekly mowing duration is always achieved.

When automatic mowing is switched off and for mowing operations independent of the active times, a mowing operation can be activated using the command "Start mowing" or "Start time-delayed mowing". ( 10.5)

The robotic mower can be operated reliably and without interference in close vicinity to other robotic mowers. The wire signal meets the EGMF (European Garden

Machinery Federation) standard with regard to electromagnetic emissions.

5. Safety devices

The machine is equipped with several safety devices for safe operation and for the prevention of improper use.

Risk of injury!

If a safety device is found to be defective, the machine must not be operated. Consult a specialist dealer; VIKING recommends VIKING specialist dealers.

5.1 STOP button

When the red STOP button on the top of the robotic mower is pressed, operation of the machine is stopped immediately. The mowing blade comes to a standstill within a few seconds and the message "STOP button pressed" appears in the display. The robotic mower cannot be operated and is safe while the message is active. ( 23.)

When automatic mowing is switched on, following

confirmation of the message with OK, the system enquires whether automatic operation is to be continued.

If the response is Yes, the robotic mower continues to mow the lawn in accordance with the mowing plan.

If the response is No, the robotic mower remains stationary in the mowing area and automatic mowing is switched off. ( 10.5)

Pressing and holding the STOP button also activates the disabling device. ( 5.2)

5.2 Disabling device

The robotic mower must be disabled prior to any maintenance or cleaning work, prior to transportation and prior to inspection.

The robotic mower cannot be operated when the disabling device is activated.

Activating the disabling device:

• Press and hold the STOP button

-in theCommands menu,

-in the Safety menu.

Activating the disabling device via the Commands menu:

• In the "Commands" menu, select the "Lock iMow" entry and confirm with the OK button. ( 10.5)

Activating the disabling device via the Safety menu:

• Open the "Safety" submenu in the "Settings" menu. (⇒ 10.16)
• Select the "Disab. device" entry and confirm with the OK button.

Deactivating the disabling device:

• When required, wake up the machine by pressing any button.

• Unlock the robotic mower using the illustrated button combination. For this purpose, press the OK button and the Back button in the sequence shown on the display.

5.3 Protective covers

The robotic mower is equipped with protective covers that prevent inadvertent contact with the mowing blade and the clippings.

These include, in particular, the hood.

5.4 Impact sensor

The robotic mower is equipped with a movable hood which serves as an impact sensor. During automatic operation, it immediately comes to a standstill if it contacts a solid obstacle which has a specific minimum height (8 cm) and is firmly attached to the ground. It then turns to face another direction and continues mowing. If the impact sensor is triggered too frequently, the mowing blade is also stopped.

Impacts against obstacles occur with a certain force. Sensitive obstacles, e.g. light objects such as small flower pots, can therefore be knocked over or damaged.

VIKING recommends removing obstacles or blocking them off by means of no-go areas. ( 11.8)

5.5 Lifting protection

If the robotic mower is lifted by the hood, mowing is stopped immediately. The mowing blade comes to a standstill within a few seconds.

5.6 Tilt sensor

If the permissible slope inclination is exceeded during operation, the robotic mower immediately changes its direction of travel. In the event of a rollover, the wheel drive and mowing motors are switched off.

5.7 Display illumination

The display illumination is activated during operation. Thanks to this illumination, the robotic mower is easily recognisable, even in darkness.

5.8 Anti-theft alarm

When the anti-theft alarm is activated, an alarm signal sounds when the robotic mower is lifted unless the PIN code is entered within one minute. ( 10.16)

The robotic mower can only be operated in conjunction with the docking station supplied. A further docking station must be linked with the robotic mower. ( 9.7)

VIKING recommends that the "Low", "Medium" or "High" safety levels be set. This ensures that unauthorised persons cannot operate the robotic mower using other docking stations and are unable to change settings or the programming.

6. For your safety

6.1 General

These safety regulations must be observed when working with the machine.

Read the entire instruction manual before using the machine for the first time. Keep the instruction manual in a safe

Danger of electric shock!

Do not connect a damaged cable to the mains and only touch a damaged cable once it has been disconnected from the mains.

The electric cable on the power supply unit must not be modified (e.g. shortened). The cable between the power supply unit and docking station must not be extended.

Danger of electric shock!

Damaged cables, connectors and plugs, or electric cables which do not conform with regulations may not be used.

Always ensure that the power cables used are adequately protected by a fuse.

Detach electric cables at the plug and socket and not by pulling on the electric cable.

Only connect the machine to a power supply that is protected by means of a residual current-operated protective device with a release current of a maximum of 30mA . Your electrician can provide further information.

If the power supply unit is connected to the mains supply outside a building, the socket must be approved for outdoor use. Your electrician can provide further information about country-specific legislation.

It must be noted that current fluctuations can damage the machine when it is connected to a power generator.

6.4 Battery

Only use original batteries.

The battery is intended exclusively for fixed installation in a VIKING robotic mower. There, it is optimally protected and is charged when the robotic mower is in the docking station. No other charger must be used. The use of an unsuitable charger can result in danger due to electric shock, overheating or escaping corrosive battery fluid.

Never open the battery.

Do not drop the battery.

Never use a defective or deformed battery.

Store the battery out of the reach of children.

Explosive hazard! Protect the battery against direct sunlight, heat and fire - never throw it into a fire.

6.5 Transporting the machine

Before transporting, and especially before lifting the robotic mower, activate the disabling device. ( 5.2)

Allow the machine to cool down before transporting.

Avoid contact with the mowing blade when lifting and carrying the machine. The robotic mower must only be lifted at both carrying handles. Never reach under the machine.

Take the weight of the machine into account and use suitable loading aids (lifters) if required.

Secure the machine and other machine parts being transported (e.g. docking station) on the load floor using fastening materials (straps, ropes, etc.) of an adequate size at the fastening points described in this instruction manual. ( 20)

When transporting the machine, always observe regional legislation, especially regarding load security and the transport of objects on load floors.

Do not leave the battery inside a vehicle and never expose it to direct sunlight.

Lithium-ion batteries must be treated with special care during transport. In particular, short-circuit protection must be ensured. Only transport the battery in the robotic mower.

6.6 Before initial operation

It must be ensured that all persons who use the machine are familiar with the instruction manual.

Carefully follow the instructions for installing the docking station ( 12.1) and perimeter wire ( 11.)

The perimeter wire and the power cable must be securely fastened to the ground so that they do not present a tripping

hazard. Avoid routing the perimeter wire and power cable over edges (e.g. edges of pathways or paving stones). When routing the perimeter wire and power cable on ground into which the supplied fixing pins cannot be driven (e.g. paving stones, pathways), a cable duct must be used.

Correct routing of the perimeter wire and power cable must be regularly checked.

To prevent the risk of stumbling, always drive in the fixing pins all the way.

Do not install the docking station in a place where it is difficult to see and could become a tripping hazard (e.g. around the corner of a house).

If possible, install the docking station out of the reach of pests such as ants or slugs - in particular avoid the area around anthills and composting units.

Areas in which the robotic mower cannot operate safely (e.g. due to danger of falling), must be blocked off through appropriate routing of the perimeter wire. VIKING recommends that the robotic mower is only operated on lawns and surfaced paths (e.g. paved drives).

The robotic mower does not detect any sudden drops such as edges, steps, swimming pools or ponds. If the perimeter wire is routed along potential sudden drops, a clearance of at least 1m must be maintained between the perimeter wire and the danger area for safety reasons.

Regularly inspect the area on which the machine is to be used and remove any sticks, stones, wires, bones and all other foreign objects that could be thrown up by the machine.

After installing the perimeter wire, particularly remove all tools from the

mowing area. Broken or damaged fixing pins must be removed from the lawn and disposed of.

Regularly check the area to be mown for uneven areas and level them out.

Never use the machine with damaged safety devices or with safety devices removed.

The switch and safety devices installed in the machine must not be removed or bypassed.

All worn or damaged parts must be replaced before use of the machine. Replace any illegible or damaged danger signs and warnings on the machine. Your VIKING specialist has a supply of replacement stickers and all the other spare parts.

Before initial operation, it must be checked

that the machine is in a safe operating condition. This means that the covers, guards and the flap must be in place and in good condition.
that the docking station is in a safe operating condition. Here, all covers must be properly installed and be in good condition.
- that the power supply unit has been connected to a properly installed socket.
that the insulation of the electric cable and the mains plug on the power supply unit is in good condition.
that the entire machine (housing, hood, flap, fastening elements, mowing blade, blade shaft etc.) is neither worn nor damaged.

that the mowing blade and the blade fastening are in a proper condition (secure seating, damage, wear). ( 15.3)
that all screws, nuts and other fastening elements are in place and are properly tightened. Tighten any loose screws and nuts prior to initial operation (observe tightening torques).

Perform all necessary work or consult a specialist dealer. VKING recommends VKING specialist dealers.

6.7 Programming

Observe local regulations regarding permitted operating times for gardening power tools with motors and programme the active times accordingly. ( 13.3)

In particular, programming must also be adapted so that no children, spectators or animals are in the area to be mown during operation.

The robotic mower must not operate at the same time as a sprinkler system. Adapt the programming accordingly.

Ensure that the correct date and the correct time are set on the robotic mower. Correct the settings if necessary. Incorrect values may cause the robotic mower to start up unintentionally.

6.8 During operation

Never allow children to approach or play with the robotic mower during operation.

Never allow the robotic mower to operate unattended if you know that animals or persons, particularly children, are in the vicinity.

Caution - risk of injury! Never put hands or feet on or underneath rotating parts. Never touch the rotating blade.

Before thunderstorms, or if there is a danger of lightning strikes, disconnect the power supply unit from the mains. The robotic mower must not be operated.

The robotic mower must never be tilted or lifted when a motor is running.

Never attempt to change settings on the machine when one of the motors is running.

MI 422: For safety reasons, the machine (MI 422) must not be used on slopes with an inclination of more than 19.3^ (35%) .

Risk of injury! A slope inclination of 19,3^ corresponds to a vertical height increase of cm at a 100 cm horizontal distance.

MI 422 P: For safety reasons, the machine (MI 422 P) must not be used on slopes with an inclination of more than 21.8^ (40%) . Risk of injury! A slope inclination of

21.8^ corresponds to a vertical height increase of 40~cm at a 100~cm horizontal distance.

Beware of the cutting tool running on for several seconds before coming to a standstill.

Press the STOP button ( 5.1) during running operation

before opening the flap.

Activate the disabling device ( 5.2)

before lifting or carrying the machine,
before transporting the machine,
before removing blockages,
before carrying out any work on the mowing blade,
- before checking or cleaning the machine,
- after hitting a foreign object or if the robotic mower begins to vibrate excessively. In these cases, check the machine, in particular the cutting unit (blade, blade shaft, blade fastening) for damage and carry out the necessary repairs before restarting and working with the machine.

Risk of injury!

Strong vibration is normally an indication of a fault.

In particular, the robotic mower must not be operated with a damaged or bent blade shaft or mowing blade.

If you do not have the appropriate expertise, have the necessary repairs carried out by a specialist dealer (VIKING recommends VKING specialist dealers).

Before leaving the machine unattended, the safety settings of the robotic mower must be adapted so that it cannot be operated by unauthorised persons. ( 10.16)

Do not lean forward and always ensure that you maintain your balance and a firm footing on inclines when operating the machine and its peripherals. Always walk, do not run.

6.9 Maintenance and repairs

Before starting cleaning, repair or maintenance operations, activate the disabling device and park the robotic mower on firm and level ground.

Disconnect the mains plug of the power supply unit before performing any work on the docking station and the perimeter wire.

Allow the robotic mower to cool down for approx. 5 minutes before performing any maintenance operations.

The power cable must only be repaired or replaced by authorised electricians.

Following any work on the machine, check and, if necessary, correct the programming of the robotic mower before putting it back into operation. In particular, the date and time must be set.

Cleaning:

The complete machine must be cleaned carefully at regular intervals. ( 15.2)

Never spray water (particularly high pressure cleaners) onto motor components, seals, electric components or bearing points. This may result in damage and expensive repairs.

Do not clean the machine under running water (e.g. using a garden hose).

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. These can damage plastics and metals, impairing the safe operation of your VKING machine.

Maintenance operations:

Only maintenance operations described in this instruction manual may be carried out. Have all other work performed by a specialist dealer.

If you do not have the necessary expertise or auxiliary equipment, please always contact a specialist dealer.

VIKING recommends that you have maintenance operations and repairs performed exclusively by a VKING specialist dealer.

VIKING specialist dealers regularly attend training courses and are provided with technical information.

Only use tools, accessories or attachments approved for this machine by VKING or technically identical parts.

Otherwise, there may be a risk of accidents resulting in personal injury or

damage to the machine. If you have any questions, please consult a specialist dealer.

The characteristics of original VKING tools, accessories and spare parts are optimally adapted to the machine and the user's requirements. Genuine VKING spare parts can be recognised by the VKING spare parts number, by the VKING lettering and, if present, by the VKING spare parts symbol. On smaller parts, only the symbol may be present.

Always keep warning and information stickers clean and readable. Damaged or missing stickers must be replaced by new, original plates from your VIKING specialist dealer. If a component is replaced with a new component, ensure that the new component is provided with the same stickers.

Only perform work on the cutting unit when wearing thick work gloves and exercising extreme care.

Ensure that all screws and nuts, especially all screws and fastening elements of the cutting unit, are securely tightened, so that the machine is in a safe operating condition.

Check the entire machine for wear or damage on a regular basis, particularly before extended periods when the machine is not in use (e.g. over winter). For safety reasons, worn or damaged parts must be replaced immediately to ensure that the machine is always in a safe operating condition.

Components or guards that are removed for maintenance operations must be properly reinstalled immediately.

6.10 Storage for prolonged periods without operation

Set the highest safety level before putting into storage. ( 10.16)

In addition, activate the disabling device.

Ensure that the machine is protected from unauthorised use (e.g. by children).

Store the machine in good operational condition.

Thoroughly clean the machine before storage (e.g. winter break).

Allow the machine to cool for approx. 5 minutes before storing it in an enclosed space.

The storage room must be dry, frost-free and lockable.

Never store the machine close to naked flames or powerful heat sources (e.g. oven).

During prolonged periods without operation (e.g. winter break), remove the docking station and store safely together with the robotic mower. ( 15.9)

6.11 Disposal

Waste products can be harmful to people, animals and the environment. They must consequently be disposed of properly.

Consult your recycling centre or your specialist dealer for information on the proper disposal of waste products. VIKING recommends VIKING specialist dealers.

Ensure that old machines are properly disposed of. Render the machine unusable prior to disposal. In particular, remove the power cable of the power

supply unit, as well as the battery of the robotic mower in order to prevent accidents.

Risk of injury due to the mowing blade!

Always store an old lawn mower in a safe place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the machine and particularly the mowing blade are kept out of the reach of children.

The battery must be disposed of separately from the machine. Ensure that batteries are disposed of safely and in an environmentally friendly manner.

9. Initial installation

9.1 Notes on initial installation

An installation assistant is available for installation of the robotic mower. This program guides you through the entire initial installation process:

• Setting the language, date and time
• Installing the docking station
• Routing the perimeter wire
• Connecting the perimeter wire
• Linking the robotic mower and docking station
• Checking installation
• Programming the robotic mower
• Completing initial installation

The installation assistant must be worked through in its entirety. Only then is the robotic mower ready for operation.

The installation assistant is re-activated following a reset (reset to factory defaults). ( 10.17)

Preparatory measures:

• Mow the lawn using a conventional lawn mower prior to initial installation (ideal grass height of 3 to 4 cm).
• In the case of a hard and dry surface, water the mowing area lightly in order to make it easier to drive in the fixing pins.

When navigating through the menus, follow the instructions in the section entitled "Operating instructions". ( 10.1)

You can select options, menu items and buttons using the control pad.

You can open submenus and confirm selections using the OK button.

Use the Back button to leave the active menu or jump one step back in the installation assistant.

If errors or faults occur during the initial installation, a corresponding message appears in the display. ( 23.)

9.2 Adjusting the cutting height

Lowest cutting height: Level 1 (20 mm)

Highest cutting height: Level 8 (60 mm)

-Openflap. ( 14.2)

Turn the rotary knob (1). The marking (2) indicates the set cutting height.

The rotary knob can be removed upwards from the adjustment element. This design serves a safety function (it ensures that the machine cannot be lifted and carried by the rotary knob) and to prevent the cutting height from being modified by unauthorised persons.

9.3 Setting the language, date and time

• Pressing any button on the display activates the machine and thus the installation assistant.

Select the required display language and confirm with the OK button.

Confirm your language selection with the OK button or select "Change" and repeat the language selection.

If necessary, enter the 9-digit serial number of the robotic mower. This number is printed on the identification plate (see Machine overview). ( 3.1)

Set the current date using the control pad and confirm with the OK button.

Set the current time using the control pad and confirm with the OK button.

9.4 Installing the docking station

Study the installation examples in this instruction manual. ( 26.)

A canopy top available as an accessory can be mounted on the docking station. This provides better protection for the robotic mower against the weather.

Install the docking station in a protected, shady location. Direct sunlight can lead to increased temperatures in the machine and longer battery charging times. The docking station should be easily visible in its chosen location to prevent the risk of tripping over it.

A mains connection is necessary for operation of the docking station. This must be close enough to the docking station that the respective power cables can be connected to both the docking station and the mains connection - do not change the power cable of the power supply unit.

There are two options for installing the docking station (internal and external). In the case of the internal docking station, the station is located within the mowing area. The docking station is not located directly in the mowing area with the external option.

Internal docking station:

The docking station (1) is located within the mowing area (A) (grey area).

There must be a free, level area (2) with a radius of at least 1m in front of the docking station (1). Remove any bumps or depressions.

External docking station

In the case of an external docking station (1) the docking station is located outside the mowing area (A).

In conjunction with an external docking station, a separately available accessory is required for offset drive home (AED 600). More information can be obtained from your VKING dealer.

Minimum clearance to the mowing area:
A = 0, 5 m
Maximum clearance to the mowing area:
B = 12 m

There must be a free, level area beyond the perimeter wire and to the side of the docking station (1). Remove any bumps or depressions.

Width of the free area: C = 0,34m

Fastening the docking station:

Fix the docking station (B) into position at the chosen location using four pegs (J).

The ground at the chosen location should be horizontal. The docking station must not be inclined by more than 2 cm rearwards or 8 cm forwards. Never bend the floor plate. Any unevenness must be removed under the floor plate so that it fully contacts the ground.

Pull the cover (1) apart slightly on the left and right as illustrated and remove upwards.

Connect the connector of the power supply unit (1) to plug connection (2) of the docking station circuit board.

If necessary, the connector can be removed (e.g. in order to route the power cable through a hole in a wall).
Make sure that the polarity is correct when attaching the connector to the power cable. ( 15.8)

Guide the power cable as illustrated through the strain relief (1), through the cable duct (2) and to the power supply unit.

Install the power supply unit outside the mowing area, protected from direct sunlight, humidity and moisture - fasten to a wall if necessary.

• Route all power cables outside the mowing area, in particular out of reach of the mowing blade, and fasten them to the ground or accommodate in a cable duct.

• Unreel power cables in the vicinity of the docking station in order to avoid interference with the wire signal.

Correct operation of the power supply unit is only ensured at an operating temperature between 0^ and 60^ .

Fit the cover (1) onto the docking station and allow it to engage - do not pinch any cables. Then connect the mains plug.

The red LED on the docking station flashes rapidly as long as no perimeter wire is connected. ( 12.1)

After completing this installation work, press the OK button on the display.

If an external docking station has been installed, VIKING recommends defining at least one starting point outside the corridor to the docking station after initial installation is complete. The starting frequency should be defined so that 0 of 10 mowing operations (0/10) are started at the docking station (starting point 0). ( 10.15)

Lift the robotic mower slightly by the carrying handle (1) to relieve the weight on the drive wheels. Push the machine, resting on its front wheels, into the docking station.

Then press the OK button on the display.

If the battery is discharged, a plug symbol appears instead of the battery symbol at the top right corner of the display after docking and the battery is charged while the perimeter wire is being routed. ( 14.7)

9.5 Routing the perimeter wire

Please read and observe the entire "Perimeter wire" section before performing wire routing. ( 11) In particular, plan the routing, observe the wire clearances and install no-go areas, reserve wire, linking sections, secondary areas and corridors during wire routing.

Fasten the perimeter wire (1) to the ground on the left A or right B as appropriate, next to the floor plate, directly next to a wire outlet, using a fixing pin (2).

Provide a free wire end (1) with a length of approx. 1 m.

Internal docking station:

Route the perimeter wire (2) in front of and behind the docking station (1) for 0.6m in a straight line and at right angles to the floor plate. Then follow the edge of the mowing area with the perimeter wire.

If the staggered drive home (corridor) is used, the perimeter wire must be routed at least 1.5m in front of and behind the docking station in a straight line and at right angles to the floor plate. ( 10.14)

External docking station:

Route the perimeter wire (2) in front of and behind the docking station (1) with a clearance (A) and at right angles to the floor plate. Then install a corridor. ( 11.10)

A freely exercisable minimum clearance (B) must be available for the robotic mower to the side of the ground plate.

A=0,5m

B=0.34m

Further information on installation of the external docking station is contained in the Installation examples section. ( 9.4)

Then follow the edge of the mowing area with the perimeter wire.

Wire routing around the mowing area:

Route the perimeter wire (1) around the mowing area and around any obstacles ( 11.8) and fasten it to the ground using fixing pins (2). Check the clearances using the iRuler. ( 11.5)

Avoid routing at acute angles (less than 90^ ). In acutely angled lawn corners, fasten the perimeter wire (1) to the ground with fixing pins (2) as illustrated.

When routing around high obstacles such as wall corners or high flowerbeds A, a greater wire clearance must be maintained at the corners to prevent the robotic mower from scraping against the obstacle. Route the perimeter wire (1) with the aid of the iRuler (2) as shown.

If necessary, extend the perimeter wire using the wire connectors supplied. ( 11.14)
In the case of several adjacent mowing areas, install secondary areas ( 11.9) or join the mowing areas with corridors. ( 11.10)

Drive in the last fixing pin (1) on the left or right next to the floor plate, directly next to the wire outlet. Cut off the perimeter wire (2). Provide free wire ends with a length of approx. 1m .

• Check the fastening of the perimeter wire to the ground. One fixing pin per meter is sufficient as a rough guide. The perimeter wire must always lie on the lawn. Drive the fixing pins fully into the ground.
  After completing this installation work, press the OK button on the display.

If the battery is not sufficiently charged to work through the remaining steps of the installation assistant, an appropriate message is displayed. In this case, leave the robotic mower in the docking station to continue charging the battery.

Jumping to the next step of the installation assistant with the OK button is only possible once the necessary battery voltage is available.

9.6 Connecting the perimeter wire

Place the robotic mower (1) within the mowing area, behind the docking station (2) as illustrated, then press the OK button.

Disconnect the power supply unit plug from the mains, then press the OK button.

Remove the cover as described in the "Installing the docking station" section. ( 9.4)

Then press the OK button on the display.

Insert the perimeter wire (1) into the cable guides in the floor plate and guide it through the socket (2).

Cut the ends of the perimeter wire (1) to a free length of approx. 10cm .

Precisely observe the free length and do not roll up protruding wire ends. Excessively long free ends can interfere with correct operation of the robotic mower.

Fasten the press fit connectors (G) onto the cable ends using suitable pliers - ensure correct engagement.

The press-fit connectors can only be fitted once on the perimeter wire. They must not be reused following removal. Additional pressfit connectors are available from a VKING specialist dealer. ( 16.)

Position the perimeter wire (1) within the two markings (2). Attach the connector (3) to both pins (4) as shown. Ensure correct connection of the left and right perimeter wire ends - do not interchange the wire ends. Close the cover of the cable duct (5).

After completing this installation work, press the OK button on the display.

Connect the power supply unit plug to the mains, then press the OK button. OK

When the perimeter wire is correctly installed and the docking station is connected to the mains power supply, the red LED (1) illuminates.

Observe the "Docking station" section, particularly if the LED does not illuminate as described. ( 12.)

Lift the robotic mower slightly by the carrying handle (1) to relieve the weight on the drive wheels. Push the machine, resting on its front wheels, into the docking station.

The LED on the docking station flashes slowly after docking. ( 12.1)

Then press the OK button on the display.

Fit the cover as described in the "Installing the docking station" section. ( 9.4)

Then press the OK button on the display.

9.7 Linking the robotic mower and docking station

The robotic mower can only be operated if it correctly receives the wire signal emitted by the docking station. ( 9.7)

Checking the wire signal may take several minutes. The red STOP button on top of the machine terminates the link, the previous installation assistant step is called up.

Normal reception

Wire signal OK:

The text "Wire signal OK" appears on the display. The robotic mower and the docking station are correctly linked.

Continue initial installation by pressing the OK button.

Interrupted reception

The robotic mower receives no wire signal:

The text "No wire signal" appears on the display.

The robotic mower receives a faulty wire signal:

The text "Check wire signal" appears on the display.

The robotic mower receives a reversed-polarity wire signal: The text "Connections swapped or iMow outside" appears on the display.

Possible cause:

• Temporary malfunction
• The robotic mower is not docked
• Perimeter wire has been connected incorrectly (reversed polarity).
• Docking station is switched off or not connected to mains supply.
  -Faulty plug connections
• A coiled power cable in the vicinity of the docking station
• Excessively long perimeter wire ends
• Perimeter wire break
• Extraneous signals such as a mobile phone or the signal from another docking station
  Live underground cables, reinforced concrete or disruptive metals in the ground under the docking station.
  Maximum length of the perimeter wire exceeded ( 11.1)

Remedy:

• Repeat linking without other corrective action
• Docking the robotic mower ( 14.6)
• Connect the perimeter wire ends correctly ( 9.6)
• Check the docking station mains connection, roll out the power cable in the vicinity of the docking station, do not set down coiled
• Check the perimeter wire plug connections, cut off excessively long perimeter wire ends ( 9.6)
• Check the LED indicator on the docking station ( 12.1)
• Repair the wire break
• Switch off mobile phones or nearby docking stations
• Change position of the docking station or remove interference sources under the docking station
• Use perimeter wire with larger cross section (special accessory)

Following the appropriate corrective action, repeat linkage by pressing the OK button.

If the measures described above do not result in a correct wire signal then contact a VKING specialist dealer.

9.8 Checking installation

Start the test run by pressing the OK button - this does not activate the mowing blade.

Close the flap of the robotic mower. ( 14.2) Only once the flap has been closed does the robotic mower start automatically and follow the edge along the perimeter wire.

As the robotic mower follows the edge, walk behind it and ensure:

that the robotic mower follows the edge of the mowing area as planned,
that the clearances to obstacles and the borders of the mowing area are correct,
that docking in and out takes place correctly.

The distance covered is shown on the display - this metric specification is required for setting starting points at the edge of the mowing area. ( 10.15)

• Read off the displayed value at the required location and write it down. Manually set starting points after initial installation.

The following of edges is automatically interrupted by obstacles, during operation on excessively steep slopes or by pressing the STOP button.

• If the test run has been interrupted automatically, correct the position of the perimeter wire and remove any obstacles.

• Check the position of the robotic mower before continuing edge following. The machine must either be located on the perimeter wire or within the mowing area with the front facing the perimeter wire.

Continuation following interruption:

After an interruption, continue edge following with OK.

It is recommended by VIKING not to interrupt the test run. Possible problems when following the edge of the mowing area or when docking may not be recognised.

The test run can be repeated following initial installation if necessary. ( 10.14)

Completion of the test run:

The next step of the installation assistant is called up when the robotic mower docks following a complete circuit.

9.9 Programming the robotic mower

Enter the size of the lawn and confirm with OK.

i Installed no-go areas and secondary areas must not be included when calculating the size of the mowing area.

In order to set the 5-stage sensor, press the control pad to the left or right. The current value is displayed in the "Settings" menu by means of a line diagram.

The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adapted to the local conditions and requirements. In particular, it is possible to adjust how long the robotic mower waits for the mowing area to dry following rain.

In the case of medium sensitivity, the robotic mower is ready for operation under normal ambient conditions.

Move the bar further to the left for mowing at a higher humidity. If the bar is moved all the way to the left, the robotic mower will mow even in wet external conditions and will not interrupt the mowing operation if rain drops land on the sensor.

Move the bar further to the right for mowing at a lower humidity. If the bar is moved all the way to the right, the robotic mower will only mow if the rain sensor is completely dry.

10.14 Installation

1. Corridor:

Switching offset drive home on and off. When the corridor is activated, the robotic mower travels back home to the docking station, offset at a distance, along the perimeter wire.

Corridor width: 30-70 cm

The distance to the perimeter wire within the corridor is selected randomly.

In conjunction with an external docking station, a separately available accessory is required for offset drive home (AED 600). More information can be obtained from your VKING dealer.

Offset drive home can only be activated when the perimeter wire has been routed with a clearance of at least 2m at the narrowest sections. No corridors may be installed within the mowing area.

2. New installation:

The installation assistant is started again, the existing mowing plan is deleted. ( 9.3)

3. Starting points:

The robotic mower either starts the mowing at the docking station (default setting) or at a starting point.

Starting points are to be defined

• if partial areas are to be travelled to in a targeted manner because they are insufficiently mowed,

• if areas can only be accessed via a corridor. At least one starting point must be defined in these partial areas.

• Setting starting points ( 10.15)

4. Edge testing:

Start the test run for checking correct wire routing.

The step "Check installation" of the installation assistant is called up. ( 9.8)

To check correct wire routing around no-go areas, position the robotic mower in the mowing area with the front facing the no-go area and start a test run.

5. Edge mowing:

Define the mowing frequency.

Never - default setting

Once - the edges are mown once per week.

Twice - the edges are mown twice per week.

6. Secondary areas:

Enable secondary areas.

Inactive - default setting

Active - setting if secondary areas are to be mowed. With the commands "Mowing start" and "Start time-delayed mowing", the mowing area (main area/secondary area) must be selected. ( 14.5)

10.15 Setting starting points

To set, either

• teach in starting points
  or
• select the required starting point and define it manually.

Teaching in starting points:

After pressing the OK button, the

robotic mower begins a new learning run along the perimeter wire. If it is not docked, it first travels to the docking station. All the existing starting points are deleted

If the starting points are taught in manually, the STOP button must not be pressed before opening the flap.

During travel, up to 4 starting points can be specified by opening the flap and pressing the OK button.

Interrupting the learning procedure:

Manually - by pressing the STOP button. Automatically - by obstacles at the edge of the mowing area.

If the learning run has been interrupted automatically, correct the position of the perimeter wire and remove any obstacles.
- Check the position of the robotic mower before continuing the learning run. The machine must either be located on the perimeter wire or within the mowing area with the front facing the perimeter wire.

Ending the learning procedure:

Manually - following an interruption.

Automatically - after docking.

After docking or after the interruption, the new starting points are saved by opening the flap and confirming with OK.

Starting frequency:

The starting frequency defines how often a mowing operation is to begin from a starting point. The default setting is 2 of 10 mowing operations (2/10) at each starting point.

• Change the starting frequency as required after learning.
  If the learning procedure has been aborted prematurely, send the robotic mower back the to docking station via a command. ( 10.5)

Setting starting point 1 to 4 manually:

Determine the distance of the starting points from the docking station and define the starting frequency.

The distance corresponds to that covered from the docking station to the starting point in metres, measured in a clockwise direction.

The starting frequency can be between 0 of 10 mowing operations (0/10) and 10 of 10 mowing operations (10/10).

The docking station is defined as starting point 0; mowing operations are

started from here as standard. The starting frequency corresponds to the calculated residual value of 10 of 10 operations.

Following initial operation, the robotic mower can only be operated in conjunction with the installed docking station.

Following a replacement of the docking station or of electronic components in the robotic mower or for operation of the robotic mower on an additional mowing area using a different docking station, the robotic mower and docking station must be linked.

• Install the docking station and connect the perimeter wire. ( 9.4) , ( 9.6)

Lift the robotic mower slightly by the carrying handle (1) to relieve the weight on the drive wheels. Push the machine, resting on its front wheels, into the docking station.

After pressing the OK button, enter the PIN code. The robotic mower will then search for the wire signal and save it automatically. This process takes several minutes. ( 9.7)

No PIN code is required in the safety level "None".

If the blade has been in use for more than 200 hours, the message "Replace mowing blade" appears. ( 15.4)

2. Find wire break:

If the red LED on the docking station flashes rapidly, there is a break in the perimeter wire. ( 12.1)

The assistant to find the break is activated with OK.

• Finding wire break (⇒ 15.7)

3. Reset settings:

The robotic mower is reset to the factory defaults with OK, the installation assistant is restarted. ( 9.3)

• Enter the PIN code after pressing the OK button.

11. Perimeter wire

Before routing the perimeter wire,

particularly prior to initial installation, read the entire section and plan the wire routing in detail.

Perform initial installation using the installation assistant. ( 9.)

Should you require support, your VKING specialist dealer will be pleased to assist you with preparation of the mowing area and installation of the perimeter wire.

Check the installation of the perimeter wire before it is finally secured in place. ( 9.)

Adjustments to the wire routing are generally necessary in the vicinity of corridors, confined areas or no-go areas.

Deviations can occur if

• the technical limits of the robotic mower are reached, for example with very long corridors or when routing the perimeter wire in the vicinity of metal objects or above metal under the lawn,

-if the mowing area is structurally altered for using the robotic mower.

No PIN code is required in the safety level "None".

The wire clearances specified in this Instruction Manual are adapted to routing of the perimeter wire on the lawn area.

The perimeter wire can also be buried up to a depth of 10cm (e.g. using a cable-laying machine).

Burial in the ground generally influences signal reception, particularly if flagstones or paving stones are laid over the perimeter wire. The robotic mower may travel along at a greater offset to the perimeter wire, requiring more space in corridors, confined areas and when travelling along edges. Adapt wire routing if necessary.

11.1 Planning routing of the perimeter wire

Study the installation examples at the end of this Instruction Manual. ( 26.)

Include no-go areas, corridors, secondary areas and reserve wire during routing of the perimeter wire, in order to prevent subsequent corrections.

• Determine the location of the docking station. ( 9.4)
• Either remove obstacles from the mowing area, or include no-go areas. ( 11.8)
  The perimeter wire must be routed in a continuous loop around the entire mowing area - maximum length: 500 m.

Corridors and secondary areas:

For automatic mowing, join all parts of the mowing area by means of corridors. ( 11.10)

If there is insufficient space to do so, secondary areas must be installed. ( 11.9)

• Observe the specified clearances ( 11.5) :

for obstacles that can be travelled on (e.g. paths) when routing the perimeter wire: 0 c m

for corridors: 22 cm

for high obstacles (e.g. walls, trees): 22 cm

minimum wire clearance in confined areas: 44 cm

or water features and potential sudden drops (edges, steps): 100 cm

• Corners:
  Avoid routing at acute angles (less than 90^ ).
• Reserve wire:

Reserve wire should be installed at several points to make it easier to subsequently change the routing of the perimeter wire. ( 11.13)

Coiled up residual pieces of perimeter wire can cause

malfunctions and must be removed.

Content of the sketch:

Contour of the mowing area including important obstacles, borders and any no-go areas which the robotic mower must not grow. ( 26.)
Position of the docking station ( 9.4)
- Position of perimeter wire

After a short while, the perimeter wire is overgrown and is no longer visible. Make a note of the routing of the wire around obstacles in particular. ( 9.5)

• Position of the wire connectors

After a short while, the wire connectors used are no longer visible. Their position should be noted in order to replace them as required. ( 11.14)

11.3 Routing the perimeter wire

Only use original fixing pins and original perimeter wire.

The routing direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise) is freely selectable according to requirements.

Never pull out fixing pins using the perimeter wire - always use a suitable tool (e.g universal pliers).

Make a sketch of the perimeter wire routing. ( 11.2)

Install the docking station. ( 9.4)
- Starting at the docking station ( 11.8) , route the perimeter wire around the mowing area and any obstacles, fastening it to the ground using fixing pins. Check the clearances using the iRuler. ( 11.5)

Follow the instructions in the "Initial installation" section. ( 9.5)

• Connect the perimeter wire. ( 11.4)

11.4 Connecting the perimeter wire

• Disconnect the mains plug and then remove the docking station cover.

• Insert the perimeter wire into the cable guides of the floor plate, guide it through the socket, attach the connector and connect to the docking station.

Follow the instructions in the "Initial installation" section. ( 9.)

• Install the docking station cover and then connect the mains plug.

• Check the wire signal. ( 9.7)
• Check docking. ( 9.7) If necessary, correct the position of the perimeter wire in the area of the docking station.

11.5 Wire clearances - use iRuler

The perimeter wire (1) can be routed without clearance along obstacles that can be travelled on such as patios and paths. The robotic mower then travels with one rear wheel outside the mowing area. Maximum height difference between lawn area and obstacle: 2 cm

11.2 Making a sketch of the mowing area

During installation of the robotic mower and the docking station, it is recommendable to make a sketch of the mowing area. A page has been provided at the start of this Instruction Manual for this purpose.

The sketch should be modified in the event of subsequent changes.

Take care not to damage the perimeter wire when tending to the lawn edge. If necessary, install the perimeter wire at a slight distance (2-3 cm) from the lawn edge.
The spacing of the iRuler is defined such that the robotic mower can travel along the edge with a track offset of 6 cm without interruption (without bumping against obstacles). Reduce the track offset if necessary (too much unmown grass on edge). ( 10.11)

Measuring wire clearances with the iRuler:

To ensure the correct clearance from the perimeter wire to the edge of the lawn and to obstacles, the iRuler should be used for measuring the distances.

A-22cm

High obstacle: Clearance between a high obstacle and the perimeter wire.

The robotic mower must run completely within the mowing area and must not touch the obstacle.

A-22cm

Corridors:
Wire clearance in corridors. ( 11.10) Corridors serve to connect several mowing areas or for bridging confined areas.
B-6cm Increased clearance for routing the perimeter wire around an external corner at a high obstacle.

A+C=24cm

Through the additional routed clearance B with the iRuler (1) the robotic mower travels along the perimeter wire (3) without bumping into the obstacle (2) around the corner.

Internal corner: Clearance for routing the perimeter wire in an internal corner at a high obstacle.

Through the greater clearance (24 cm) the robotic mower travels along the perimeter wire (2) without bumping into the obstacle (1) in the corner around a high obstacle.

No-go area: Clearance for routing the perimeter wire around a no-go area.

A+C=24cm

The robotic mower travels along the perimeter wire (1) around the obstacles (2) without bumping into it.

Measuring the height of obstacles:

The robotic mower can cross obstacles such as paths if the height of the stepped area is less than 2cm . The step in the iRuler corresponds precisely to this height.

Obstacle (1) is lower than 2cm : Route the perimeter wire (2) without clearance to the obstacle.

If the perimeter wire is routed without clearance to the obstacle (flagstones etc.) it must be ensured that the flagstones can be travelled on freely (without obstacle) with a 22 cm clearance.

Obstacle (1) is higher than 2cm Route perimeter wire (2) with clearance A (22~cm) to the obstacle.

If necessary, set the cutting height so that the mowing deck of the robotic mower does not hit the obstacles.

If the lowest cutting height is set, the robotic mower can consequently clear less than 2cm

11.6 Confined areas

If a confined area is installed in the mowing area then offset drive home (corridor) must be deactivated. ( 10.14)

The robotic mower travels automatically in all confined areas, provided the minimum wire clearance is maintained. Narrower areas of the mowing area must be blocked off through appropriate routing of the perimeter wire.

If two mowing areas are linked via a narrow passage that can be travelled on, a corridor can be installed. ( 11.10)

The minimum wire clearance is 44 cm, which corresponds to 2 iRuler lengths or the machine width.

This results in the following space requirements in confined areas:

• between high obstacles with a height exceeding 2 cm, such as walls, 88 cm,
• between obstacles that can be travelled on, with a height under 2cm such as paths 44 cm.

11.7 Installing linking sections

The robotic mower ignores the perimeter wire signal if the wires are routed parallel and close together. Linking sections must be installed

where secondary areas are to be installed. ( 11.9)
where no-go areas are necessary. ( 11.8)

VIKING recommends laying linking sections together with the relevant no-go areas or secondary areas during wire routing.

In the case of retrospective installation, the wire loop must be cut and linking sections must then be integrated using the wire connectors supplied. ( 11.14)

In linking sections, the perimeter wire (1) must be routed parallel, the wires must not cross and must be close to one another. Attach the linking section to the ground with a sufficient number of fixing pins (2).

11.8 No-go areas

No-go areas have to be installed
around obstacles that the robotic mower must not touch
around obstacles that are not sufficiently sturdy

around obstacles that are too low.

Minimum height: 8 cm

VIKING recommends

• blocking off obstacles by means of no-go areas or removing them,
• checking no-go areas after initial installation or after changes to the wire installation using the "Test edge" command. ( 10.14)

No-go areas must have a minimum diameter of 48~cm

The clearance between the edge

loop A must be greater than 44 cm.

In order for docking to take place smoothly, no no-go area must be installed within a radius of at least 2m around the docking station (1).

Route the perimeter wire (1) from the edge to the obstacle with the correct clearance (use iRuler) around the obstacle (2) and attach it to the ground with a sufficient number of fixing pins (3). Then route the perimeter wire back to the edge again.

The perimeter wire must be routed parallel and without crossover in the linking sections. ( 11.7)

11.9 Secondary areas

Secondary areas are parts of the mowing area that cannot be mown fully automatically by the robotic mower because access is not possible. In this manner, several separate mowing areas can be surrounded with a single perimeter wire. The robotic mower must be manually taken from one mowing area to another. The mowing operation can be initiated via the commands "Start mowing" ( 10.5) or "Start time-delayed mowing" ( 10.5) .

The docking station (1) is installed in the mowing area A, which is cut fully automatically in accordance with the mowing plan.

The secondary areas B and C are connected to the mowing area A via the linking sections (2). The perimeter wire must be routed in the same direction in all areas -do not cross perimeter wires in the linking areas.

Activate secondary areas in the "Settings-Installation" menu. (念) 10.14

11.10 Corridors

If several mowing areas have to be mown (e.g. mowing areas in front of and behind the house), these can be linked by installing a corridor. This allows all the mowing areas to be mown automatically.

In corridors, the lawn is only mown along the path of the perimeter wire. If necessary, activate automatic edge mowing or mow the corridor area manually on a regular basis. ( 10.14) ( 10.14)

The specified wire clearances are adapted to routing of the perimeter wire on the lawn area.

Requirements:

• Minimum width is 88 cm between solid obstacles in the corridor area and 22 cm between paths that can be travelled on.

In longer corridors, a slightly increased space requirement should be taken into account depending on the ground conditions. Longer corridors should always be installed as centrally as possible between obstacles.

• Offset drive home (corridor) is deactivated. ( 10.14)

• The corridor can be travelled on freely.

• At least 1 starting point must be defined in the area of the second mowing area. (⇒ 10.15)

The docking station (1) is installed in mowing area A. Mowing area B is linked to mowing area A by means of a corridor (2). The perimeter wire (3) can be continuously followed by the robotic mower. In order to mow mowing area B, starting points (4) must be defined. ( 10.15)

Individual mowing operations can then be started at the starting points, depending on the setting (starting frequency).

Installing the start and end of the corridor:

The perimeter wire (1) must be routed in a funnel shape as shown at the start and end of the corridor (clearances A and B).

This prevents the robotic mower from accidentally driving into the corridor during mowing.

A=22cm
B=6cm

Installing corridor:

Wire clearance in corridors: 22 cm

This results in the following space requirements:

• between high obstacles (over 2 cm in height - e.g. walls): 88 cm,
• between paths / obstacles that can be travelled on (lower than 2 cm in height - e.g. paths): 22 cm.

In corridors, the perimeter wire (1) must be routed parallel and attached to the ground with a sufficient number of fixing pins (2). At the start and end of the corridor, funnel-shaped entrance and exit areas must be installed.

11.11 Accurate mowing along edges

At a track offset of 6cm a strip with a width of up to 20~cm is left.
unnown along high obstacles. If
necessary, edging stones can be laid around high obstacles.

Minimum width of edging stones:

Route perimeter wire (1) at a clearance of 22cm to the obstacle. To ensure that the lawn edge is mown completely, the edging stones must have a width of at least 20cm (clearance B). If wider edging stones are laid, the lawn edge is cut even more precisely.

Route the perimeter wire with a greater clearance to the edging stones around exterior and interior corners. ( 9.1)

Use wider edging stones if necessary.

11.12 Sloping terrain in the mowing area

In order for the robotic mower to automatically mow a slope in the mowing area (incline up to 15^ ) trouble free, the perimeter wire must be installed in the slope with a minimum clearance to the edge of the incline.

Slopes with an incline of 5 - 15^

If there is a slope with an incline of 5 - 15^ in the mowing area, the perimeter wire can be routed below the top edge of the slope in the slope as illustrated. The minimum clearance (0,5m) from the top edge of the slope to the perimeter wire must be taken into account for trouble-free operation of the robotic mower.

Top edge of the slope with an incline > 15°:

If there is a slope with an incline >15^ of in the mowing area, it is recommended that the perimeter wire (1) can be routed in the flat area before the top edge of the slope. The top edge and area of the slope are not mown.

11.13 Installing reserve wire

Reserve wire installed at regular intervals makes it easier to make any necessary corrections such as subsequently changing the position of the docking station or the routing of the perimeter wire. In particular, reserve wire should be installed near difficult passages.

Route perimeter wire (1) as illustrated between 2 fixing pins spaced approx. 1m apart. Attach the reserve wire to the ground in the centre using a further fixing pin.

11.14 Using wire connectors

In order to extend the perimeter wire or to connect loose wire ends, only the gel-filled wire connectors supplied may be used. They prevent premature wear (e.g. corrosion of the wire ends) and ensure optimal connections.

Make a note of the positions of the wire connectors on the sketch of the mowing area. ( 11.2)

Insert loose, unstripped wire ends (1) to the stop in the wire connector (H). Press the wire connector together using suitable pliers - ensure correct engagement.

Attach the perimeter wire strain relief to the ground with two fixing pins as illustrated.

12. Docking station

12.1 LED on the docking station

A red LED (1) provides information on the status of the docking station and the wire signal.

Red LED illuminates continuously

Red LED flashes slowly

Red LED flashes rapidly

Red LED flashes at intervals

LED does not illuminate

Red LED illuminates continuously:

The docking station is switched on and the robotic mower is not docked.

Red LED flashes slowly:

The docking station is switched on, the robotic mower has docked successfully or is being charged.

Red LED flashes rapidly (approx. 2x per second):

The perimeter wire is not correctly connected to the docking station or the wire signal is no longer present owing to a defective perimeter wire (wire break).

Red LED flashes rapidly at intervals:

The LED flashes alternately 3 times at a 1-second interval, 3 times at a 2-second interval, 3 times at a 1-second interval, 5 second pause. After the pause, the signal is repeated.

This flashing sequence indicates a fault in the docking station. ( 24.)

Red LED does not illuminate:

The docking station is switched off, the wire signal is not being transmitted.

Switching on the docking station

• During automatic operation, the docking station is switched on and off automatically.
• Switching on manually: Open the flap of the docked robotic mower and press the OK or the Back button. The robotic mower and the docking station are switched on.

The docking station is switched on exclusively via the docked robotic mower.

In order to activate the docking station, first place the robotic mower in the docking station and switch it on by pressing the button.

13. Notes on mowing

13.1 General

The robotic mower is designed for the automatic mowing of lawns. The grass is kept short through continuous mowing. The result is a perfect, thick lawn.

Lawns that have not previously been mown using a conventional lawn mower will only be mown neatly following several mowing operations. Especially in the case of high grass, a good cutting pattern is only achieved after a few mowing operations.

In hot, dry conditions, the lawn should not be kept too short as it will otherwise be burnt by the sun and become unsightly.

The cutting pattern will be better with a sharp blade than with a blunt one; the blade should therefore be replaced regularly.

13.2 Mulching

The robotic mower is a mulching mower.

During mulching, the grass clippings are further shredded in the mowing deck housing after cutting. They then fall back into the turf, where they remain and decompose.

The finely shredded clippings return organic nutrients to the lawn, serving as a natural fertiliser. Fertiliser requirements are thereby reduced significantly.

13.3 Active times

During the active times, the robotic mower is allowed to leave the docking station and mow the lawn. During these times, mowing operations, charging operations and rest periods take place. The robotic mower automatically distributes the mowing and charging operations between the available time windows.

During installation, active times are automatically distributed over the entire week. Time reserves are taken into account - this ensures perfect lawn care, even if individual mowing operations cannot take place, (e.g. due to rain).

During the active times, third parties must keep out of the danger area. The active times should be adapted accordingly. Moreover, the applicable local regulations on the use of robotic mowers as well as the information in the "For your safety" section ( 6.) must be observed and the active times changed accordingly in the "Mowing plan" menu as required. ( 10.7) In particular, you should check the times of the day and night at which it is permissible to use the machine with the responsible authorities.

13.4 Mowing duration

The mowing duration specifies how many hours per week the lawn is to be mown. It can be extended or reduced. ( 10.8)

The mowing duration corresponds to the time during which the robotic mower mows the lawn. Times during which the battery is charged are not part of the mowing duration.

During initial installation, the robotic mower automatically calculates the mowing duration based on the specified size of the mowing area. This reference value is based on a normal lawn under dry conditions.

Mowing performance:

For 100m^2 the robotic mower needs on average:

MI 422:120 minutes

MI 422 P: 100 minutes

14. Operating the machine

14.1 Preparation

An installation assistant is available for initial installation. ( 9)

Install the docking station ( 9.4)
- Route the perimeter wire ( 9.5) and connect ( 9.6)
- Remove foreign bodies (e.g. toys, tools) from the mowing area.
- Charge the battery (⇒ 14.7)
- Set the time and date ( 10.11)
- Check the mowing plan and adapt if necessary – in particular it must be ensured that third parties keep away from the danger area during active times. (⇒ 10.6)

Mow very high grass until it is short using a conventional lawn mower prior to use of the robotic mower (e.g following a lengthy break).

14.2 Flap

The robotic mower is equipped with a flap which protects the display from the weather and from inadvertent operation. If the flap is opened during use of the robotic mower, operation is stopped and the mowing blade and robotic mower come to a standstill.

Opening the flap:

For safety reasons, the Stop button must be pressed before opening the flap during operation of the robotic mower.

Grasp the flap (1) at the lifting point (A) and release upwards by pulling lightly. Open the flap as far as the stop.

The opened flap can be removed upwards from the machine. This design is implemented for safety reasons: This ensures that the machine cannot be lifted and carried by the flap.

Closing the flap:

Carefully fold the flap downwards and allow to engage.

The robotic mower can only be operated when the flap is fully engaged.

14.3 Adapting the programming

The current programming can be seen in the Mowing plan. ( 10.6)

The mowing plan is calculated based on the size of the mowing area during installation or during the creation of a new mowing plan.

The active times and the mowing duration can be changed individually, the required mowing operations themselves are automatically distributed over the possible active times. If required, several mowing or charging operations can run during an active time. If required, the edge of the mowing area can be cut automatically at regular intervals. ( 10.14)

Up to three different active times per day are possible. ( 10.6)

If the robotic mower has to travel to specific areas of the mowing area, starting points must be defined. ( 10.15)

Under certain circumstances (e.g. warm weather or generous time window), not all the active times may be necessary for optimal lawn care.

Changing the active times: ( 10.7)

• Additional active times for further mowing operations.
• Adapting the time window in order, for example, to prevent mowing during the morning or night.
• Omitting individual active times because the mowing area is e.g. being used for a party.

Extending the mowing duration: ( 10.8)

• There are areas which are not mown sufficiently, e.g because the mowing area has lots of corners.
• Intensive grass growth during the growing period.
• Particularly dense lawn.

Reduction of the mowing duration: ( 10.8)

• Reduced grass growth due to heat, cold or dryness.

In the event of charging problems, a corresponding message appears in the display. ( 23)

The battery is only charged when the voltage falls below a certain value.

Charge state:

The momentary charge state can be seen in the status screen when the relevant display is selected. ( 10.13)

In all other menus, the battery symbol in the information area of the display serves to indicate the charge state. ( 10.3)

15. Maintenance

Risk of injury!

Carefully read the section "For your safety" ( 6.) , particularly the subsection "Maintenance and repairs" ( 6.9) ,and follow all safety instructions exactly before performing any maintenance or cleaning operations on the machine.

Activate the disabling device prior to any maintenance or cleaning work. ( 5.2)

Disconnect the mains plug before performing any maintenance operations on the docking station.

Always wear gloves when carrying out any maintenance work, particularly when working on the mowing blade.

15.1 Maintenance schedule

The maintenance intervals are based on the operating hours among other factors. The relevant "Mowing hours" counter can be called up in the "Information" menu. ( 10.9)

The specified maintenance intervals must be strictly observed.

Maintenance operations on days with active times:

• Visually inspect the general condition of the machine and the docking station.

• Check the display - check current time and the start of the next mowing operation.

• Check the mowing area and remove foreign bodies, etc. as required.
• Check that the battery is being charged.
  (⇒ 14.7)

Weekly maintenance operations:

Clean the machine. ( 15.2)
- Visually inspect the mowing blade, blade fastening and mowing deck for damage (notches, cracks, fractures, etc.) and wear. ( 15.3)

Every 200 hours:

• Replace the mowing blade. A corresponding reminder appears in the display. ( 15.4)

Annual maintenance operations:

• VKING recommends an annual inspection by a VKING specialist dealer during the winter months. Here, maintenance of the battery, electronics and software in particular is performed.

In order for your specialist dealer to perform all the maintenance operations correctly, set the safety level to "None" or give your specialist dealer the appropriate PIN code.

15.2 Cleaning the machine

Care of the machine will protect it against damage and extend its service life.

Cleaning and maintenance position:

Only perform cleaning work on the mowing blades when wearing thick work gloves and exercising extreme care.

Place the machine on a firm, level and flat surface for cleaning the top of the machine (hood, flap). To clean the underside of the machine (mowing blade, mowing deck) tilt the robotic mower onto its left or right side as illustrated and lean it against a wall.

• Clean off dirt with a brush or a cloth. In particular, also clean the mowing blade and the docking station.
• Detach accumulated clipping deposits in the housing and in the mowing deck beforehand using a stick.
  If necessary, use a special cleaner (e.g. STIHL special cleaner).

Regularly remove the carrier plate and remove grass residues. ( 15.6)

The carrier plate must be cleaned frequently in wet weather. Dirt deposits between the carrier plate and the mowing deck housing creates friction, leading to increased power consumption.

15.3 Checking the mowing blade wear limits

Risk of injury!

A worn mowing blade may break off and cause serious injuries. The instructions for blade maintenance must therefore always be observed. Mowing blades are subject to differing degrees of wear depending on the location and duration of use. If you use the machine on sandy ground or use it frequently under dry conditions, the mowing blade will be subjected to greater loads and will wear more quickly than normal.

The mowing blade must be replaced at least every 200 operating hours, resharpening must be carried out by a VKING specialist dealer. ( 15.5)

• Activate the disabling device. ( 5.2)
• Tilt the robotic mower onto its side and lean it securely against a stable wall. Carefully clean the mowing deck and mowing blade. (⇒ 15.2)

Check the blade width A and blade thickness B using a slide calliper.

If the blade width is less than 25mm or the blade thickness is less than 1,3 mm at any point, the mowing blade must be replaced.

15.4 Removing and installing the mowing blade

The mowing blade is designed for a service life of 200 hours. After this period, a corresponding message appears in the display.

Activate the disabling device ( 5.2) and wear gloves.

Tilt the robotic mower onto its side and lean it securely against a stable wall. Carefully clean the mowing deck and mowing blade. ( 15.2)

Removing the blade:

Push in both tabs (1) on the carrier plate with one hand and hold. Remove the fastening nut (2) with your other hand.

Remove the mowing blade together with the fastening nut.

Installing the mowing blade:

Risk of injury!

Check the blade for damage before installing. The blade must be replaced if notches or cracks are identified or if its width is less than 25mm or its thickness is less than 1,3mm at any point. ( 15.3)

The carrier plate and the fastening nut must also be replaced if damaged (e.g. broken, worn). The fastening nut in particular must engage cleanly in the carrier plate.

• Clean the blade, carrier plate and fastening nut prior to installation.

Fit the mowing blade (1) and fastening nut (2) on the carrier plate (3) as illustrated. Ensure correct position of the retainers (4) in the mowing blade.

Screw on the fastening nut (1) as far as possible. Several clicks are audible during tightening. Ensure secure seating of the mowing blade by shaking carefully.

Following installation of a new mowing blade, confirm the blade replacement in the "Service" menu. (10.17)

15.5 Sharpening the mowing blade

VIKING recommends replacing a blunt blade with a new one. Resharpening a blunt mowing blade should only be carried out by a VKING specialist dealer as he has the necessary expertise and special tools.

Correct operation of the machine can only be ensured with a very precisely balanced mowing blade.

An incorrectly sharpened blade (e.g. imbalance, incorrect sharpening angle) increases noise emissions and can result in damage to the machine.

15.6 Removing and installing carrier plate

The carrier plate can be removed in order to clean the mowing deck.

Activate the disabling device ( 5.2) and wear gloves.

• Tilt the robotic mower onto its side and lean it securely against a stable wall. Carefully clean the mowing deck and mowing blade. (⇒ 15.2)

Removing the carrier plate:

• Remove the mowing blade. ( 15.4)

Insert the puller (K) and turn anti-clockwise to the stop.

Support the machine with one hand. Remove the carrier plate (1) by pulling on the puller (2).

Installing the carrier plate:

Thoroughly clean the blade shaft (1) and the mounting on the carrier plate (2). Push the carrier plate as far as possible onto the blade shaft.

Install the mowing blade. ( 15.4)

15.7 Finding a wire break

In the event of a wire break, the red LED on the docking station flashes rapidly. ( 12.1) A corresponding message appears in the display of the robotic mower.

If a wire break cannot be found as described, contact your VKING specialist dealer.

Remove the docking station cover and disconnect the right perimeter wire end (1).

The following instructions describe how to search for a wire break in a clockwise direction, i.e. the perimeter wire is followed in a clockwise direction starting at the docking station. The search can also be performed in an anti-clockwise direction if necessary, however the left perimeter wire end must then be disconnected.

• Remove the robotic mower from the docking station.
  In the "Service" menu, select the "Find wire break" entry and confirm with OK. (10.17)

Starting at the docking station, follow the edge of the mowing area clockwise with the robotic mower. For this purpose, lift the machine slightly by the rear carrying handle (1) to relieve the weight on the drive wheels. Push the robotic mower, supported by its front wheels, and follow the perimeter wire (2). It must be ensured that the perimeter wire (2) runs under the wire sensors. The wire sensors are installed in a protected position on the left and right at the front of the robotic mower. During the wire break search, the signal strength is indicated in the display; the wire sensors are in the ideal position above the perimeter wire when this value is at its highest.

The Wire signal OK symbol appears in the display when the wire sensors are correctly receiving the wire signal.

In the area of the wire break, the signal strength drops and the Check wire signal symbol appears in the display.

• Bridge the break with the aid of a wire connector ( 11.14) . If necessary, reroute the perimeter wire in the area of the break.
  If the wire break has been correctly rectified, the red LED on the docking station illuminates after the perimeter wire is connected. ( 12.1)

15.8 Power supply unit plug

The power supply unit is equipped with a removable plug.

This plug can be removed if the power supply unit is installed inside a building and therefore the power cable must be routed through a hole in the wall.

Risk of injury!

Disconnect the mains plug and unplug the power supply unit from the docking station before performing any work on the power supply unit.

Read the instructions in the section "Warning - dangers caused by electrical current". (→ 6.3)

Install the blue cable (BL) and the brown cable (BR) in the plug as illustrated. Tighten screws (1).
