• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. In case of complaints, provide for fresh air and consult a physician. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system. 7 OPERATION

7.1 Lawn preparation

Before operating the robotic lawnmower, ensure that the mowing area is free of pets, kids or objects. Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, wire, cables from the lawn. Make sure that the lawn height is 50 mm or less. If the height is more than that, cut the lawn to a height of 50 using a standard lawnmower. Cut the area where you intend to lay the perimeter wire to the lowest setting you have with your conventional mower.

7.2 Charging station placement and connection

Find the best place for your charging station (if possible out of the sun), where your robotic lawnmower will return to get charged.

1. Take the robotic lawnmower from the charging station and place the charging station on

level ground. Make sure

• the arrow marked with ‘IN’ on charging station needs to point towards the mowing area,

• the perimeter wire is placed in a 1.5 m straight track in front of the charging station. (Behind this 1.5 m, you may still need a 35 cm margin between the perimeter wire and the edge of the lawn.),

• the perimeter wire is placed at least in a 1 m straight track perpendicular to the rear the charging station. (Behind this 1 m, a space of 35 cm may still be needed between the perimeter wire and the edge of the lawn.),

• that the base stand is firmly on the ground and does not bend,

• not to put the charging station in confined spaces,

• that you have 1.0 m of free space perpendicular to the rear the charging station,

• that the next power socket is within 6 meters, measured from backside of charging station (power cord is 6 m),

• that the charging station is not placed in direct sunlight, if possible. It is recommended to place the charging as close to the power supply as possible.POWXG6305 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 8 www.varo.com Note: Your robotic lawnmower can only automatically return to the charging station counter-clockwise. Note: When your robotic lawnmower receives direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time the battery can get too hot and will not function correctly.

2. Fix the charging station with the four supplied pegs.

3. Connect the charging socket to the charging adaptor.

4. Connect the charging adaptor to the power supply (Fig. 1).

Make sure that the power supply is

• close to the charging station,

• protected from rain, e.g. under a roof,

• protected from direct sunlight, if possible. ➔ Once connected you should now see a red light (power) on the charging station. ➔ The green light (work) on the charging station indicates wiring conditions of the charging station. When the green light flashes, the wire is not set correctly and the mower cannot work. Note: When the robotic lawnmower is in the charging station, the robotic lawnmower's status light and the green light on the charging station flash. When the robotic lawnmower is not in its charging station and the green light of the charging station flashes, this indicates a wire fault and the robotic lawnmower will not work.

7.3 Charging the lawnmower

Your robotic lawnmower´s battery may be charged to a certain degree on delivery, but it´s recommended to fully charge the battery of the lawnmower before use. To charge your robotic lawnmower follow these steps:

1. Switch the robotic lawnmower on. The On/Off switch (6) is located at the bottom side of

the robotic lawnmower (Fig. A and Fig. 2). Note: The on/off switch is also a removable safety key. To remove the key, turn it fully clockwise as far as it will go, pull the knob down and turn it again to the left until the arrow mark (Fig. 2) to remove the key. Switching on the red button will also program the start time of the mower. How to change the start time is described in 7.5.4. Note: Your robotic lawnmower will not charge when it is not turned on.

2. Slide the robotic lawnmower into the charging station to charge.

3. Check the indicator on the charging station. The red power light turns up and the robotic

lawnmower charges (green light flashes). If the power light does not light up, you should check the mains plug of the power supply is plugged in properly and that the mower is in the station correctly.

4. When mower is charging the status light on the robot mower control panel will flash

quickly (4 times a second), when mower is fully charged the status light will flash slowly (every 2 seconds).

5. It takes about 90 minutes to get the battery fully loaded.POWXG6305 EN

The wire defines the borders of the mowing area. Everything in the inner area belongs to the mowing area, everything in the outer area doesn´t belong to the mowing area. The wire also serves to mark obstacles and exclude them from the mowing area.

1. Feed the end of the perimeter wire through the groove on the front at the bottom side of

the charging station, until it appears on the rear side (Fig. 3).

2. Carefully strip off 10-15 mm of the insulation of the wire.

Note: You should keep a length of 15-20 cm at start and the end of the wire for operating and handling the wire.

3. Connect the wire to the right hand (black) B terminal of the charging station (Fig. 4).

4. Start installing the perimeter wire from the charging station in a clockwise direction (Fig.

5). Pull the wire from the coil, tauten and fix it with one peg. Use a mallet to insert them in the lawn. Ensure the wire is straight and in line with the charging station groove for

5. Recommended distance between pegs is 50 to 75 cm (max).

6. Continue to set the wire around the perimeter of the mowing area. For a more accurate

perimeter, we advise that you leave less than 75 cm between pegs when wiring objects (like flower beds, bushes, trees and other items). Loose wire can be cut during mowing. Make sure the wire is flat to the ground. Use additional pegs where the wire is slack. The wire is taut before placing the next peg (if you can place a couple of fingers under the wire this is not taut enough). Increase the number of pegs at a corner. Note: If the mowing area borders against a flat path or a surface that is level with the lawn, your robotic lawnmower will be able to run over it. In such cases the perimeter wire should be positioned right up to the edge of the lawn (approx. 10 cm). This is not applicable for gravel, as your robotic lawnmower could hit a stone or get stuck in the gravel (here you need to keep 35cm distance). Note: When installing the wire around the perimeter of pond of water, the distance between the wire and the edge of the pond must be more than 75 cm, because of safety reasons. In case there is a power cut your robotic lawnmower will stop after not noticing the wire for 50 cm. Note: When marking objects remember there must be at least 60 cm distance between two perimeter wires. Leaving less distance than this will cause some interference. Note: Do not install the wire on the slope (max 17° or 30%), or your mower could be slip out the boundary easily. Note: The robotic lawnmower cannot go through distance less than 60cm.POWXG6305 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 10 www.varo.com

7. Encircling obstacles (Fig. 5). Mark out permanent objects you do not want the mower to

run over, e.g. roots, ponds, flower beds or rocks. This will prevent your robotic lawnmower colliding with objects or going straight into them. To mark a obstacle: a. Run the wire from the lawn perimeter to the object. b. Continue round the objects in a clockwise direction. When going around the object use more pegs. c. Return the wire back to the perimeter. Ensure the distance from the wire around the object and lawn perimeter wire is at least 60 cm. Please ensure that the two parallel wires leading to and from the marked object are as close as possible by placing the wire under the same side of the peg. This will make the wire undetectable to your robotic lawnmower. Please ensure that the wires do not cross over each other at any point.. Note: Remember to leave 30 cm around the object to the wire! If objects are less than 75 cm from the lawn edge, surround the object when installing the wire, leaving the object outside of the lawn cutting area.

8. When the perimeter wire has been laid around the entire cutting area, cut the wire and

strip 10-15 mm of insulation off.

9. Connect the wire to the left hand (red) terminal (Fig. 4).

Note: Observe the distances in Fig. 6 if a second mower is used next or on the property.

7.5 Setting up the robotic lawnmower

When your robotic lawnmower´s battery is fully loaded, you can start setting up the lawnmower. When the mower is fully charged, the mower status light will flash slowly (every 2 seconds). Note: Wait at least 10 sec after entering a command / setting. Give the mower time to process the command. Note: When pressing any key, a beep should sound to confirm the entry, if not, the entry has failed. Note: When setting up the robotic lawnmower, if you notice that lights 2D + 2H + 4H + 6H are flashing, the robotic lawnmower is in security mode and the PIN code must be entered.

7.5.1 Blade height adjusting knob (2)

First you have to set up the cutting height. Turn the knob to adjust the blades to a appropriate cutting height. They can be adjusted between 25 mm-50 mm manually.

The robotic lawnmower is PIN code protected. To start the lawnmower for the first time, you have to enter the PIN code (the 2D, 2H, 4H and 6H light flashes). This needs to be done when the mower is OUTSIDE the charging station, when the mower is at the charging station you cannot enter the PIN code for the first time. Factory default PIN code is 1111. You can enter the PIN code by the panel on the top side of the mower.POWXG6305 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 11 www.varo.com See Fig. 7, panel on the top side, status light marked with a rectangle.
