Basic operational principles for the robot lawn mower: The robot lawn mower chooses its driving pattern randomly. This means that it does not follow any specific pattern but moves around the garden randomly. This implies that over a week of mowing, it will cover the entire lawn area within the boundary wire.
Driving to Charging Station
When the battery is depleted, the robot lawn mower will automatically find the boundary wire and drive counter-clockwise back to the charging station. It will charge and then continue its mowing cycle.
Detection of Boundary Wire
As the robot lawn mower approaches the boundary wire, the sensors installed at the front of the cover will detect it. However, to ensure an optimal mowing result, the robot will drive beyond the boundary wire by approximately 10-12 cm (where it does not mow).
It is important to take this into consideration when the user lays out the boundary wire in the garden.
Stop the Robot
The robot lawn mower is stopped by pressing the red STOP button, regardless of whether it is mowing or on its way back to the charging station.
Setting the Mowing Height
The robot lawn mower can be set to a mowing height between 20-60 mm. If the grass is higher than 60 mm when the robot is installed, it is necessary to first mow the grass with a conventional lawn mower to avoid overloading the robot’s blades and to achieve a satisfactory mowing result, as well as to prevent the machine from getting stuck. It is recommended to start by setting the mowing height to the maximum (60 mm) and gradually lowering the mowing height over a few days until the desired grass height is achieved.
The mowing height is adjusted by pressing the STOP button (if the robot is running). When the robot is stationary, the mowing height can be adjusted by turning the height adjustment knob on top of the robot (see the image). The robot lawn mower can mow grass even when it is wet, but this will lead to greater accumulation of grass under the robot, increased friction on the blades, higher noise levels, and an increased risk of the machine getting stuck. Remove the grass with a soft brush (always completely turn off the robot before working near the blades).
Mowing Limitations for Robot Lawn Mower
If you and your neighbour both have a robot lawn mower, there should be at least 1 metre between the boundary wires to avoid signal interference.
Set up the charging station at least 10 metres away from the neighbour's boundary wire.
If the neighbour's robot lawn mower is from a different manufacturer, maintain a distance of 2 metres to avoid interference.
