Frequently Asked Questions - Garden Hero Blumfeldt

How to install the boundary wire?

The wire must be laid in a closed loop around the mowing area, at least 30 cm from the edge. Avoid right angles and crossings. Fix it with pegs every 1 m (30-50 cm in curves). The first 2 meters in front of the charging station must be perfectly straight to facilitate the robot's return.

What cutting height is recommended for the first mow?

For the first mow of the season or on tall, thick grass, use the highest setting (5.5 cm). Gradually reduce the height to the desired value over several days or weeks to avoid overloading the robot.

How to program the mowing schedule?

From the main menu, press OK, then select 'Schedule'. Choose the day and set the start and end time using the arrow keys. Confirm with OK for each day. You can set different schedules for each day of the week.

What to do if the robot indicates 'Mower outside'?

This message appears if the robot is outside the delimited area. Place it manually inside the boundary wire and restart. Check that the wire is properly connected and that the signal is present (blue light constant on the station).

How to change the PIN code?

Go to Menu > Setting > Change PIN. First enter the old PIN code, then the new code twice. If the passwords do not match, an error message appears. The PIN code is required to start, after a STOP, or to modify settings.

How to maintain the blades?

Before any handling, turn off the power and wear protective gloves. Turn the robot over. Use a screwdriver to unscrew and replace the blades. The blades are reversible: use both sides by flipping them. Replace them when both sides are worn.

Can the mower be used in the rain?

Rain mode can be enabled or disabled in settings. If disabled, the robot continues mowing in the rain, but it is not recommended in heavy rain or thunderstorms. Wet grass reduces runtime and may prevent return to the charging station.

How to winterize the robotic mower?

Thoroughly clean the robot, charge the battery to 100%, then store it in a dry, frost-free place (ideally in the original packaging). The boundary wire can remain in place; protect its end with insulating tape. In spring, check the blades and date/time settings.

How to connect the robot to the smartphone app?

Download the Blumfeldt app from the App Store or Google Play. Make sure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network as the robot. Open the app, create an account or log in, then follow the pairing instructions. If the robot is not found, check that the Wi-Fi light is blinking and that the router is not in dual-band without a separate SSID.

What to do if the boundary wire is cut?

Locate the cut. Use a wire connector supplied: strip the wires, insert each end into the connector grooves, and press the metal tab with pliers. Check that the station light becomes solid blue. If the light remains red, there are other cuts.

Description

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.

APPLIANCE AND ACCESSORIES

1. Preparing the lawn for the robot mower

Obtuse angles Curves Don't cross wires No right angles No acute angles

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 up to 40 mm 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 1 m intervals, keeping the cable taut to avoid it being cut by the robot mower, more so at corners and over uneven terrain. The cable should be positioned a minimum of 30 cm from the edge of the garden, as the robot 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 robot mower can detect a signal from the wire from as much as 18 m 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.

2. 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 robot mower.

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

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 robot 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.

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.

Extra long grass

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

3. Installing the charging station

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

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

- The location of the charging station should be flat at 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 robot mower when returning to charge.

WARNING

Risk of tripping! Trailing wires are a trip hazard. Take care when choosing your location.

The boundary wire goes into the front (1) of the charging station and comes out at the back (2).

Push the boundary wire into the tube at the front (1) of the charging station.

It will emerge at the rear of the unit (2).

You will need to strip the plastic sheath from the end of the wire before connecting.

The charging stand has a hood at the back (shown in grey) that hinges forwards.
Twisting the exposed wires after exposing helps ensure a good connection.

Push the charging station hood forward to uncover the wiring terminals.

The sprung terminal will need lifting to expose the hole, ensure the wire is full inserted before releasing the red terminal clip.

When you have completed your boundary wire it must return to the charging station and be fed up through the unit and plugs in at the black terminal.

Feed the power lead up through the other side of the base station

Pay attention to the cable fittings as there is a keyway orientation detail to ensure correct connection.

Push the power cable into place.

Then screw on the outer ring to secure the cable in place and prevent water ingress.

Once the base station has been fully wired, it can be secured in place with the four screws provided. Use the Allen key provided to screw them in securely ensuring they are fully inserted and flush with the station base. Protruding screws can hinder the robot mower from locating correctly.

Push the cover back to its original position to cover the wires and connections from water ingress.

Making sure the power is switched off at the socket, screw the two charging rods into the holes just below the cover of the base station. (Note: This is where the LED status indicator is situated.)

4. Laying the boundary wire

Keep the wire straight for at least the first 2 m. This is to allow the robot mower to return to the charging stand with ease.

Place the pegs at intervals of about 1 m on straight and even ground, 30 cm to 50 cm on bends and corners. Uneven ground and obstacles will require more pegs.

The perimeter wire must be kept tight. If it is loose it may well end up being cut by the robot mower as it passes over it.

If the wire passes over a moderate dip in the lawn, more pegs will be required to keep the wire firmly pegged at ground level, or it risks being cut.

5. Installing the robot mower

Place the robot mower on the base station with the wheels on the grips and the two pins engaged into the front of the robot mower.

Press the STOP button.

This will flip open the control panel and LCD display cover.

Hold the power button (1) down for three seconds to activate the LCD display.

START-UP AND OPERATION

Cutting height adjustment

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

Set the cutting height

The first cut of the season or long thick wet grass will need the highest setting (5.5 cm).

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 robot mower on an elevated blade setting.

Note: During first few days of mowing the grass may look stripy or patchy where the robot 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

When you turn it on for the first time, the control panel will ask you to enter a PIN code. Please remember the PIN code you set. When you press the START button and close the flap, the robot mower begins a circuit and mows the lawn randomly.

The first mowing passes

The first few mowing passes will seem random and unfinished. This is normal. The more often the lawn is mowed, the more even it will become. By setting zones (see “Zone” section) and mowing in a spiral pattern at a location you select (see “Spiral mowing” section), this effect can be achieved more quickly.

New season mowing

Between mowing seasons when the robot 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.

REPAIR, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Risk of injury! Remove the safety key when the robot mower is not in use and before it is transported, cleaned or stored.

Repairing the boundary wire

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.

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.

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

WARNING

Risk of injury! Wear protective gloves when handling, cleaning or replacing the blade.

1. Switch the robot mower off.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Turn the robot 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.

EN

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.

Carry the robot mower by the handle between the two rear wheels with the blades pointing outwards.

Cleaning and maintenance

1. Check and clean the robot mower regularly once a week.
2. When you first start using the robot 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 robot 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 robot mower before use.

Winter storage

1. The robot mower must be carefully cleaned before winter storage. Charge the battery fully before storage.
2. Store the robot mower in the station and place in a dry area to protect from frost, preferably stored in the original packaging.
3. 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 robot 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 robot 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.

Wheel spinning faults where the robot 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 robot mower will attempt to be outside the perimeter. If the robot 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).
