1.1.2 Product description

Note: Flymo regularly updates the appearance and function of the products. Refer to Support on page 3.

The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product has a battery power source and cuts the grass automatically. It continuously alternates between mowing and charging. The movement pattern is random, which means that the lawn is mowed evenly and with less wear. The boundary wire and the guide wire controls the movement of the product within the work area. Sensors in the product senses when it is approaching the boundary wire. The front of the product always passes the boundary wire by a specific distance before the product turns around. When the product hits an obstacle or approaches the boundary wire the product selects a new direction.

The operator selects the operation settings with the keys on the keypad. The display shows the selected and possible operation settings, and the operation mode of the product.

1.1.2.1 Mowing technique

The product is emission free, easy to use and saves energy. The frequent cutting technique improves the grass quality and decreases the use of fertilizers. Collection of grass is not necessary.

1.1.2.2 Find the charging station

The product operates until the battery state of charge is low. Then it follows the guide wire to the charging station. The guide wire is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the work area or through a narrow passage. The guide wire is connected with the boundary wire and makes it much easier and faster for the product to find the charging station.

3.1 Introduction - Installation

WARNING: Read and understand the safety chapter before you install the product.

CAUTION: Use original spare parts and installation material.

Note: Refer to www.flymo.com/uk for more information about installation.

3.2 Main components for installation

The installation involves the following components:

• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn automatically.

• A charging station, which has 3 functions:

• To send control signals along the boundary wire.

• To send control signals along the guide wire so that the product can follow the guide to specific remote areas in the garden and can find its way back to the charging station.
  • To charge the product.

• A power supply, which is connected to the charging station and a 100-240V power outlet.

• Loop wire, which is laid around the work area and around objects and plants that the product must not run into. The loop wire is used both as boundary wire and guide wire.

3.3 General preparations

CAUTION: Holes with water in the lawn can cause damage to the product.

Note: Read through the Installation chapter before beginning the installation. How the installation is done affects how the product

performs. It is therefore important to plan the installation carefully.

• Make a blueprint of the work area and include all obstacles. This makes it easier to see the ideal positions for the charging station, the boundary wire and the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put the charging station, the boundary wire and the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the guide wire connects to the boundary wire. Refer to To install the guide wire on page 22.
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
• Cut the grass before you install the product. Make sure that the grass is maximum 4 cm / 1.6 in.

Note: The first weeks after installation the perceived sound level when cutting the grass may be higher than expected. When the product has cut the grass for some time, the perceived sound level is much lower.

3.4 Before the installation of the wires

You can select to attach the wires with stakes or bury them. You can use the 2 procedures for the same work area.

CAUTION: If you use a dethatcher in the work area, bury the boundary wire and the guide wire to prevent them from damage.

3.4.1 To examine where to put the charging station

• Keep a minimum 2 m / 6.6 ft. of free space in front of the charging station. Refer to To examine where to put the guide wire on page 19.
• Keep a minimum of 30 cm / 12 in. of free space to the right and left of the center of the charging station.

• Put the charging station near a power outlet.
• Put the charging station on a level surface.
• The baseplate of the charging station must not be bent.

• Put the charging station in the lower section of the work area.
• Put the charging station in an area with protection from the sun.
• If the charging station is installed on an island, make sure to connect the guide wire to the island. Refer to To make an island on page 18.

3.4.2 To examine where to put the power supply

WARNING: Do not cut or extend the low-voltage cable. There is a risk of electrical shock.

CAUTION: Make sure that the blades on the product do not cut the low-voltage cable.

CAUTION: Do not put the low-voltage cable in a coil or below the charging station plate. The coil causes interference with the signal from the charging station.

• Put the power supply in an area with a roof and protection from the sun and rain.
• Put the power supply in an area with good airflow.
• Use a residual-current device (RCD) when you connect the power supply to the power outlet.

Low-voltage cables of different lengths are available as accessories.

3.4.3 To examine where to put the boundary wire

CAUTION: There must be an obstacle of minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height between the boundary wire and water bodies, slopes, precipices or public roads. This will prevent damage to the product.

CAUTION: Do not let the product operate on gravel.

CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends when you install the boundary wire.

CAUTION: For careful operation without noise, isolate all obstacles such as trees, roots and stones.

The boundary wire should be put as a loop around the work area. Sensors in the product senses when the product approaches the boundary wire, and the product selects another direction. All parts of the work area must be maximum 15 m / 50 ft. from the boundary wire.

To make the connection easier between the guide wire and the boundary wire, it is recommended to make an eyelet where the guide wire will be connected. Make the eyelet with approximately 20 cm / 8 in. of the boundary wire.

    D --> E["Stage F"]
    E --> F["End"]

• Put the boundary wire around all of the work area (A). Adapt the distance between the boundary wire and obstacles.
• Put the boundary wire 35 ~cm / 14 in. (B) from an obstacle that is more than 5 ~cm / 2 in. high.

- Put the boundary wire 30 ~cm / 12 in. (C) from an obstacle that is 1 - 5 ~cm / 0.4 - 2 in. high.

- Put the boundary wire 10 ~cm / 4 in. (D) from an obstacle that is less than 1 ~cm / 0.4 in. high.

- If you have a paving stone path that is in level with the lawn, put the boundary wire below the paving stone.

Note: If the paving stone is minimum 30 cm / 12 in. wide, use the factory setting for the Drive Past Wire function to cut all the grass adjacent to the paving stone. Refer to To set the Drive Past Wire function on page 29.

- If you make an island, put the boundary wire that runs to and from the island near together (E). Put the wires in the same stake. Refer to To make an island on page 18.

- Make an eyelet (F) where the guide wire is to be connected to the boundary wire.

3.4.3.1 To put the boundary wire in a slope The product can operate in 35% slopes. Slopes that are too steep must be isolated with the boundary wire. The gradient (%) is calculated as height per m. Example: 10 cm / 100 cm = 10%.

- For slopes steeper than 35% inside the work area, isolate the slope with boundary wire.

- For slopes steeper than 10% along the outer edge of the lawn, put the boundary wire 20 cm / 8 in. (A) from the edge.

- For slopes adjacent to a public road, put an obstacle of minimum 15 cm / 6 in. along the

outer edge of the slope. You can use a wall or a fence as an obstacle.

3.4.3.2 Passages

A passage is a section that has boundary wire on each side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The distance between the boundary wire on each side in the passage must be a minimum of 60 cm / 24 in.

Note: If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide, install a guide wire through the passage.

The minimum distance between the guide wire and the boundary wire is 30 cm / 12 in. The product always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen facing the charging station. It is recommended to have as much free area as possible to the left of the guide wire (A).

3.4.3.3 To make an island

CAUTION: Do not put a section of boundary wire across the other. The sections of boundary wire must be parallel.

CAUTION: Do not put the guide wire across the boundary wire.

CAUTION: Isolate or remove obstacles that are less than 15 cm / 5.9 in. in height. Isolate or remove obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones, trees or roots. This will prevent damage to the blades of the product.

To make an island, isolate areas in the work area with the boundary wire. We recommend to isolate all stable objects in the work area.

Some obstacles are resistant to a collision, for example, trees or bushes that are more than 15 cm / 5.9 in. in height. The product will collide with the obstacle and then select a new direction.

• Put the boundary wire to and around the obstacle to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire to and from the island close together. This will make the product run across the wire.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the same stake.

3.4.3.4 To make a secondary area

Make a secondary area (B) if the work area has 2 areas that are not connected with a passage. The work area with the charging station is the main area (A).

Note: The product must be manually moved between the main area and the secondary area.

- Put the boundary wire around the secondary area (B) to make an island. Refer to To make an island on page 18.

Note: The boundary wire must be put as 1 loop around all of the work area (A + B).

Note: When the product cuts grass in the secondary area, the Secondary area mode must be selected. Refer to Operating modes on page 32.

3.4.4 To examine where to put the guide wire

Put the guide wire from the charging station through the work area and connect it to the boundary wire. The installation of the guide wire is important for a successful guide calibration,

refer to Guide calibration on page 24.

5 Maintenance

5.1 Introduction - maintenance

WARNING: The product must be switched off before any maintenance is done. The product is disabled when the LED status indicator is not lit.

WARNING: Wear protective gloves.

For better operation and longer service life, make sure to clean the product regularly and replace worn parts. All maintenance and servicing must be done according to Flymo's instructions. Refer to Warranty on page 56.

When the product is first used, the blade disc and blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount of wear during this period has been low, the inspection interval can be increased.

It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The edges of the blades should not be damaged. The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for instance on:

• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.

The normal life is 4 to 7 weeks when used under favorable conditions. Refer to To replace the blades on page 37 on how to replace the blades.

Note: Working with blunt blades gives a poorer mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more energy is needed resulting in the product not mowing such a large area.

5.2 Clean the product

CAUTION: Do not use a high-pressure washer to clean the product. Do not use solvents for cleaning.

The product does not operate satisfactorily in slopes if the wheels are blocked with grass. Use a soft brush to clean the product.

6.6 Find breaks in the loop wire

Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost, also sharp stones that move in

the ground can damage the wire. Breaks can also occur due to the wire being stretched excessively during installation.

Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can damage wire insulation. Damage

to the insulation may not cause disruptions until several weeks or months later. To avoid this, always select the maximum cutting height the first weeks after installation and then lower the height one step at a time every second week until the desired cutting height has been reached.

A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to disruptions several weeks after the splice was done. A faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a pair of pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the original coupler has been used. Please first check all known splices before further troubleshooting is done.

A wire break can be located by gradually halving the distance of the loop where the break may have occurred until there is only a very short section of the wire left.

The following method does not work if ECO mode is activated. Make sure first that ECO mode is switched off. Refer to ECO mode on page 30.

1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging station flashes blue, which indicates a break in the boundary loop. Refer to Indicator lamp in the charging station on page 47.

1. Check that the boundary wire connections to the charging station are properly connected and not damaged. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging station is still flashing blue.

1. Switch the connections between the guide wire and the boundary wire in the charging station.

Start by switching connection L and GUIDE.

If the indicator lamp is flashing yellow, then the break is somewhere on the boundary wire between L and the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black line in the illustration).

To rectify the fault you will need boundary wire, connector(s) and coupler(s):

a) If the suspected boundary wire is short then it is easiest to exchange all of the boundary wire between L and the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black line).

b) If the suspected boundary wire is long (thick black line) then do as follows: Put L and GUIDE back to their original positions. Then disconnect R. Connect a new loop wire to R. Connect the other end of this new loop wire at the middle of the suspected wire section.

If the indicator lamp now is flashing yellow, then the break is somewhere in the wire between the disconnected end to the point where the new wire is connected (thick black line below). In that case, move the connection for the new wire closer to the disconnected end (roughly at the middle of the suspected wire section) and check again if the indicator lamp is green.

Continue until only a very short section of the wire remains which is the difference between a solid green light and a flashing blue light. Then follow instruction in step 5 below.

1. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3 above: Put L and GUIDE back in their original positions. Then switch R and GUIDE. If indicator lamp now is lit with a solid green light then disconnect L and connect a new boundary wire to L. Connect the other end of this new wire at the middle of the suspected wire section. Follow the same approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.

2. When the break is found, the damaged section must be replaced with a new wire. Always use original couplers.
