Thank you for choosing

"Welcome to the family. We started to create sensible, easy to use products that do a great job, and hope you get many years of trouble-free performance from your new product."

Robot mowers work by making regular small cuts of the grass to maintain a set height. To do this they must be able to mow the grass multiple times per day every day. This will keep the grass level constantly in check. As it is cutting small amounts regularly the clipping will fall to the ground and are not collected.

Over time these small clippings will compost and add nitrogen to the lawn. Eventually this will leave the lawn looking more green and lush and enhance the general health of the lawn.

GARDEN (60m) 35cm GARDEN

There is a handy ruler you can press out of the carton that will help you measure 35cm all around your garden.

There may be parts of your garden which will be challenging or even impossible for your Robot Mower. Your Robot Mower will not stray beyond the boundary wire you must lay around your garden.

It will change direction on making contact with things like:

• Posts and poles (e.g. washing lines)
• Fences and walls around trees

But it will need to be kept away from:

• Dug borders
• Trees with exposed roots
• Flower beds
• Ponds and water features
  • Excessively uneven terrain.

The wire must be kept taut and never be allowed to loop or cross over itself. Ideally if ground is particularly uneven the wire can be buried upon deep and pegged down to secure. This can be achieved easily with a manual edging tool. If this is not desired or possible then the wire should be firmly pegged around the garden with pegs at a minimum of 1m intervals, keeping the cable taut to avoid it being cut by the mower, more so at corners and over uneven terrain. The cable should be positioned a minimum of 35cm from the edge of the garden, as the mower will overlap the wire, although it will not stray past it.

On corners the wire should not be laid at a sharp angle or right angle, but curved or a series of obtuse angles. The mower can detect a signal from the wire from as much as 18m away. It should be noted that due to this set up some areas of the lawn will not get mowed such as outside the perimeter edges. These can be maintained using a suitable grass trimmer. If the ground where the wires are to be laid is particularly dry and the soil hard from lack of rain, it will help to thoroughly water the garden before attempting to lay your perimeter wire.

Rectifying or avoiding problem areas Obstacles such as tree roots on lawn

If a tree root is protruding into the perimeter of your cutting area it would present a problem for the mower.

Simple line drawing of a sun with rays and a checkmark, above a curved line (no text or symbols)

One solution is to take the perimeter around the tree root, leaving this area unmowed.

Simple line drawing of a flower with a checkmark and horizontal line, no text or symbols present

Alternatively, cut the tree root back with a saw and fill any resulting uneven surface, then set the perimeter over it.

Excessively uneven areas of lawn

A deep enough dip in the surface of your lawn will also present problems, possibly causing the mower's wheels to lose their grip and skid.

If you don't want to avoid mowing this area, it's best to fill it with soil, compact it down and re-seed it with grass.

Diagram showing a spring-loaded structure with a checkmark above it, no text or symbols present

If the area is on the perimeter line this can be pegged out as normal. If it is within the mowing area it should no longer be a problem.

If your mower encounters particularly long grass it may treat it as an obstacle as it could bump the mower's obstacle sensor. The grass needs to be at a reasonable level before the Robot Mower can function correctly.

Installing the charging station

Min 2m Min 30cm Ensure a minimum of 2m straight perimeter from the front of the charging station, and 30cm straight from the rear.

Find a location with access to power, ensuring the mower can leave the charging station in an anti-clockwise direction. Don't peg the plate down yet.

Safe power source The location must be within 5m of a safe power source – either a w weatherproof outdoor electrical socket power point in a garage, for example. or an indoor.

The location of the charging station should be flat and secure, without risk of movement, if placed next to a border edge that is unstable it can slump and cause the station to be uneven, this will cause problems for the mower when returning to charge.

WARNING: Trailing wires are a trip hazard. Take care when choosing your location.

Cutting height adjustment

STOP

1. Open the knob lid.
2. Cutting height can be adjusted from 2.5cm to
   5.5cm by rotating the adjustment knob.

Getting started:

Set the cutting height

The first cut of the season or long thick wet grass will need the highest setting (5.5cm). Gradually reduce to desired height once all ground has been covered. This may take a few days or a few weeks. If the perimeter wire is pegged to the surface of the garden rather than buried, it is a good idea to let the wire "bed in" to the surface of the lawn, during which time it is advisable to keep the mower on an elevated blade setting. NOTE during first few days of mowing the grass may look stripy or patchy where the mower has covered /not covered. This is normal and will become even after several days once the full lawn area has been mowed.

First use

The control panel will ask for a pass code. The default PIN is: AAAA

Pressing the start button and closing the flap will cause the mower to start a perimeter circuit after which it will begin randomly mowing the lawn.

First use

The first few mows will appear random and unfinished, this is normal. With the multiple passes the mower makes over time, this will even out, and by using zoning and spiral spot mowing a desirable effect can be achieved in less time. These methods are explained on page 19.

New season mowing

Between mowing seasons when the mower is not operating (during winter months) the grass can become unkempt and thickets emerge. On new season setup review mowing pass and address any problem areas.

Repairing the boundary wire

Diagram showing two parallel pipes with directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols)

If the boundary wire gets cut or breaks for any reason (indicated by solid red light on charging station), you need to locate and repair it. You will need to use one of the splicing clips provided. First take up the slack in the wire so there is some overlap.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a component with arrows indicating motion direction (no text or symbols)

The clip has two channels in it. Push one end into one channel and the other end into the other. The wire needs to go right in, and can even protrude from the other end.

Illustration of a hand holding a cable with arrows indicating cable movement (no text or symbols)

Taking a pair of pliers, crimp the metal tab onto the inserted wires. This will form a connection between the wires.

Close the cover of the clip until it clicks securely in place. You will then need to ensure the clip does not protrude on your lawn and risk being cut by the mower, by embedding it in the soil.

When the boundary wire is repaired the charging station will display a solid blue light. If the light is still red there are more breaks in the loop, which will need locating and repairing.

Replacing the blades

1. Switch the mower off
2. Wear protective gloves
3. Turn the mower upside-down
4. Place blade over raised screw-hole.

1. Use a second screwdriver to anchor the blade plate while you attach the blade.
2. Using a cross head screwdriver, secure the blade on the blade plate. The blade should be able to rotate freely once fitted.
3. Repeat for other blades

Sharp edge Sharp edge

Re-orientate the blade (turn it around or turn it upside down) as each corner wears out until all four quarters of the blade have been used. If all four quarters have been used, then replace blade.

Wheel spinning faults where the mower will stop in a single spot and wheel(s) spin is a combination of uneven and/or wet ground. The solution is to add soil to level the ground. Ensure good drainage of the lawn before mowing, and not to mow during heavy rain and water logging.

If the boundary wires are in the wrong connectors (so the signal is clockwise not counter-clockwise) then the mower will attempt to be outside the perimeter. If the mower leaves the area constantly then change the wires around at the charging station (moving the wire in red connector to black and vice versa).

Maintenance

1. Check and clean mower regularly once a week.
2. When you first start using the mower, the blade plate, protections plate and blades should be checked once a month.
3. It is important that the blades and blade plate rotate easily.
4. Blade edges should not be damaged. Blade life depends on the type of grass, soil, lawn etc.
5. Working with dull blades gives a poor mowing result, which needs more power to mow, meaning the mower covers a smaller area at a time.
6. Charge the battery fully at the end of the season before winter storage. If storage time is longer than one year you will need to recharge the mower before use.

Winter storage

1. Mower must be carefully cleaned before winter storage. Charge the battery fully before storage
   .2. Store the mower in the station and place in a dry area to protect from frost, preferably stored in the original packaging.
2. Boundary wire can be left in your lawn. As the charging station is removed you should protect boundary wire end from moisture with electrical tape.

After winter storage

1. Check whether the mower, boundary wire and charging rods need to be cleaned before use. If the charging strips appear to be rusty, clean them by using an emery cloth or suitable abrasive cloth. Check whether the mower time and date are setting correctly.
2. Check whether the blades need to be changed.
3. Check whether the blades and blade plate turn easily.

Product Care

Wear protective gloves when handling, cleaning or replacing the blade.

To reduce the risk of injury ensure that safety key is removed when the mower is not in use, being transported, handled or stored.
