READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDE CAREFULLY

BEFORE USE. RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

This product is an autonomous robotic mower, powered by a rechargeable

lithium-ion battery and includes a base station.

The mower will independently depart from the base station, mow the

lawn and return to the base station for charging.

A pre-installed perimeter wire connected to the base station sets the

boundaries (a “virtual wall”) for the mower. It will be laid around the

edges of the lawn and around objects that the mower should avoid.

The mower moves randomly within its working area, as defined by the

perimeter wire.

The mower includes Bluetooth and GSM radio modules (on selected

models).

app. Children aged 14 and over should read and understand the instructions for safe operating

practices in this manual and on the mower and should be trained and supervised by an adult.

6. Never allow children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or people

who are unfamiliar with these instructions to operate the mower.

7. If situations occur which are not covered by this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact

your customer service representative for assistance.

8. This mower is a precision piece of power equipment, not a toy. Exercise extreme caution at all

times. This mower has been designed to perform one job: to mow grass. Do not use it for any

other purpose.

B. Preparations Before Operating

PRIOR TO FIRST USE, ENSURE THAT PRODUCT HAS BEEN

CHARGED CONTINUOUSLY FOR 24 HOURS.

1. Ensure the correct installation of the perimeter wire, as instructed in the Getting Started Guide.

2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wires,

toys and other foreign objects which could damage the blade or be picked up and thrown by the

blade. Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury.

3. Keep bystanders, children and pets inside while the mower is in operation. Stop the mower if

anyone enters the mowing area.

4. If there is a risk of lightning, keep the mower in a protected area and disconnect it from the

power supply.

C. Operation

Do not allow the mower to operate unattended if you

know that there are, or may be, pets, children or people in

the vicinity.

WARNING

1. Your robotic mower is a dangerous power tool. Exercise care when operating it and follow all

safety instructions and warnings.

2. In the event of an accident or malfunction during operation, press the red STOP control immediately.

3. Do not operate the mower if any safety feature or any part is damaged, worn or inoperable.

4. Always turn the mower off by removing the disabling device before lifting the mower or clearing

blockage of the blade(s) and/or drive wheels or making any adjustments. Activating the disabling

device cuts power to the drive wheel and blade.

5. Never pick up or carry the mower while the wheels are turning or blade is moving. Do not touch

the blade before it has stopped rotating completely.

6. Do not use the mower for any purpose other than cutting grass.

7. Never attempt to bypass a safety device or to remove a guard or cover. Doing so may result in

personal injury through contact with the rotating blade. The sensors are safety devices.

8. The blade continues to rotate for up to two (2) seconds once a safety sensor has been triggered

or the red STOP control has been pressed. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until

you are certain that the blade has stopped rotating.

9. Should the mower start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check for the cause immediately.

Vibration is generally a warning of a problem. Pull out the disabling device to prevent any operation

of the mower.

10. Always wear safety goggles during remote control operation and while performing an adjustment

or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.

11. Never operate the mower with a damaged safety device, guard or cover. Failure to follow this

warning may result in personal injury.

12. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s)

can cause amputation of the hands and feet.

13. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain or hidden objects

could cause an accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

14. Your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more than 6” (15 cm). Do

not attempt to mow through unusually tall grass (e.g. pasture).

15. Do not operate the mower without the cover door closed.

16. Set the weekly programme so that the mower is in operation when no one is likely to be on the

grass. To schedule suitable operating hours, follow the one-time setup procedure on the mower’s

screen or via the mobile application.

17. Do not connect a damaged power supply cord to the power supply or touch a damaged power

supply cord before it is disconnected from the power supply, as doing so can lead to electric shock.

18. Keep all power supply cords away from underneath the mower to prevent damage. A damaged

power supply cord can lead to electric shock. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket if the

cord is damaged or entangled.

DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY.

If the power supply is installed outdoors, do not operate or disconnect it when the temperature

falls below 0° C or rises above 40° C to avoid the risk of fire.

19. Steer the mower manually only when it is within your range of vision. Stay within 6 metres of

the mower when you are operating it manually.

20. Do not overreach, keep balance at all times and always be sure of footing on slopes; always

walk, never run while operating the machine.

D. Children

1. To avoid tragic accidents, you should always ensure that there are no children on the lawn.

Children are often attracted to the mower and mowing activity. They do not understand the

dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Never assume that

children will stay away from the mower while it is operating.

2. Keep bystanders, children and pets inside while the mower is in operation and under the

watchful supervision of a responsible adult. Stop the mower if anyone enters the area.

3. Be alert and turn the mower off if a child or bystander enters the area.

4. Do not allow children to ride on the mower. It is not a toy.

5. Never allow children to play on the lawn while the mower is in operation. Teach your children

that the mower is dangerous and that they must stay away from it.

6. Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate the mower using the remote control

app. Children aged 14 and over should read and understand the instructions for safe operating

practices in this manual and on the mower and should be trained and supervised by an adult.

E. Transport

Before moving or transporting your mower, follow the steps below:

1. Press or pull the red STOP control to stop the mower.

operation before approaching it for any reason.

4. Exercise extreme caution when the mower is moving towards you.

5. Operate the mower remotely only in daylight or in good artificial light, and avoid operating on

wet grass.

6. Never operate the mower remotely in bare feet, sandals, slippery or lightweight (e.g. canvas)

shoes. Always wear substantial footwear and long trousers; always make sure of your footing

on slopes.

G. Batteries

1. Use only genuine batteries provided by the manufacturer. Battery part numbers are specified in

the “Additional Information” booklet.

2. Do not open, drop or damage the sealed battery pack. Do not use the battery if it exhibits visible

defects or deformations, if it is broken or cracked.

3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR MODIFY BATTERIES! Repair attempts may result in severe

personal injury due to explosion or electric shock. If a leak develops, released electrolytes are

corrosive and toxic.

4. Do not attempt to remove or destroy any of the battery components.

5. The battery pack contains electrolytes. In the case of electrolyte leakage from the battery pack,

take the following action:

• Skin contact: Wash the contact areas off immediately with water and soap.

• Eye contact: Flush the eyes with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Do not rub.

• Seek medical assistance.

6. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode.

7. The battery is intended to be charged when it is inside the mower and properly connected to

the mower. Always use the power supply provided with the mower. Improper use may result in

electric shock, overheating or fire.

8. Do not use the battery for any purpose other than powering the dedicated robotic lawnmower. Use

of the battery to power any other product is extremely dangerous.

9. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for batteries to protect the environment. Refer to the

“Rechargeable Battery Disposal” section of this user guide for additional information.

10. When replacing the battery, be sure to insert the battery connector correctly. Reversing the battery

polarity may cause damage to the battery and mower.

H. Slope Operation

1. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel that the mower cannot maintain traction on a slope, the

slope is too steep to mow. Wet grass will decrease traction and may cause the mower to slip and

slide on the slope. Serious injury or property damage could result.

2. For your safety, measure any slope before using the mower on the sloped area. Use a slope

measuring device before setting up the mowing zones or operating this mower on a sloped or hilly

area. Smart phone applications can also be used to measure slopes. The mower may slide out of

the mowing area if the slope at the edge of the lawn is greater than 11° (20%).

3. Do not mow on slopes greater than the following:

• Inside the lawn - 24° (45%)

• Edge of the lawn - 11° (20%)

4. Do not operate the mower under any conditions where traction or stability are in question.

Always be sure of the mowing surface. A tip or overturn could cause serious personal injury or

property damage.

5. Stay at least 4’ (1.2 metres) from drop-offs, ditches, slopes or the edge of water to help ensure

that the mower does not slide out of the mowing zone. You could damage the mower or cause

serious injury.

I. Maintenance and Special

Instructions

1. Keep the mower in good working order. Replace worn, damaged or broken parts. Manufacturer

part numbers of the batteries, blades and power supplies are specified in the “Additional

Information” booklet.

2. To avoid serious injury, do not modify the mower in any way.

3. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves and exercise extra caution when changing

the blade.

4. Always switch off the mower and remove the disabling device before servicing or clearing

blockage of the mowing blade(s) and/or drive wheels or inspecting the mower. Never attempt to

service or adjust the mower while it is in operation. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make

certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped.

5. The blade should come to a complete stop within two (2) seconds of pressing the red STOP

control. If you do not hear the blade stop within two (2) seconds, your mower must be serviced

professionally by an authorised service dealer before being used again.

6. Never use a high-pressure power washer or hose to clean the mower. Water can damage

components and the programmable controller. Use a damp cloth to wipe the display clean.

7. Visually inspect blade for damage (e.g. excessive wear, bent, cracked). Replace the blade with the

original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) blade only. Non-O.E.M. blades will not fit properly and

could potentially be unsafe.

8. Use of spare parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper

performance and compromise safety. It will also void your warranty.

9. After striking a foreign object, or getting stuck, stop the mower and pull out the disabling device.

Thoroughly inspect the mower for damage. Repair the damage before replacing the disabling

device, starting and operating.

10. For areas close to a children’s play area, bodies of water, drop-offs or public roads, supplement

the perimeter wire with a rigid (wood/stone) boundary edge at least 6” (15 cm) high, which will

help to prevent the mower from exiting the mowing zone.

11. If your mower is installed and operated in an open garden or a public location, you must place

warning signs around those mowing areas, showing the following: “Automatic Lawnmower! Keep

away from the machine! Supervise children!”

12. Clean or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

Let’s get

started.

Can’t wait

to mow your

lawn.

Welcome to a friendly

home

Congratulations on your purchase! You are just a few steps away from

meeting your best team player. Very soon you will come to count on your

new friend to do a perfect job.

It will automatically depart from its Base Station on predetermined days

and times, mow your lawn and return to its Base Station for charging.

A pre-installed perimeter wire sets the boundaries (a “virtual wall”) for

your mower. It will be laid around the edges of your lawn and objects that

you want to protect.

The mower moves randomly within its working area, as dened by the

perimeter wire. This kind of random movement provides the perfect cut

and ensures complete coverage of your lawn.

In addition, it follows the perimeter wire when it mows the edges of your

lawn to give it a perfect nish.

Good-looking healthy lawns are achieved by consistent mowing, which is

exactly what your Robomow provides.

After following the installation instructions, you will be ready to enjoy your

free time, while your new friend looks after your lawn.

It is highly recommended to read the complete installation guide prior to

installation.

For easier installation

It is recommended to mow the lawn with a traditional mower one last time

and water the edges of the lawn 24 hours before installing the wire.

distance of the ruler

DISTANCE FROM EDGE

PEG BASE

After choosing the proper location, secure the Base Station to the

ground using the provided stakes.

Be careful not to damage irrigation pipes when hammering

down the stakes.

Hard Obstacles

Hard obstacles are vertical, rigid and

higher than 15 cm (6 in), such as trees

or large hard elements that the mower

can gently bump into without causing

damage. There is no need to protect

these obstacles with the perimeter wire.

Ponds

Ponds and other bodies of water

need to be protected by creating

Perimeter Islands.

Soft Obstacles

Soft obstacles are ower beds,

ponds or small trees. They need

to be protected by creating

Perimeter Islands.

OBSTACLES

Obstacles and Slopes

Before you put a single peg into the ground, take note of any obstacles or

slopes.

Lay the Wire

• Have your mower’s package nearby.

• Be sure to cut your grass with your old mower one last time

before you start wiring. In addition, the ground should be

moist. This will make inserting pegs easier and help ensure

that the mower doesn’t cut the wire.

WHAT

YOU’LL

NEED

• Hammer

• Combination pliers

Lay the perimeter wire (“virtual boundary”), which denes

the working area for the mower.

TIPS

Now you’re ready to install the Perimeter Wire. Let’s take it step by

step.

... A sunny day and a sunny mood :)

50 cm

Lay it loosely along the perimeter as you walk along the lawn edge.

If you get to any area/object that needs special care, make sure you

carefully lay the Perimeter Wire as described in the following sections.

Start unwinding the wire counter-clockwise around the lawn,

starting at the Base Station’s location.

Pull out approx. 50 cm (1.6 ft) of wire and peg the beginning of the

wire to the ground where you intend to install your Base Station.

Let’s make a good start

• Insert pegs every 2-3 m/7-10 ft and at corners. At this early

stage, set a minimal number of pegs. You will insert all necessary

pegs later.

• Pull the wire tight while hammering the pegs to their nal depth in

the ground.

• Take care not to damage irrigation pipes.

TIPS

Maintain Proper Distance

The Perimeter Wire is secured to the ground

by the pegs supplied with the product. Use the

RoboRuler to determine the distances you should

leave between the Perimeter Wire and the lawn’s

edge and obstacles.

~ 2 m

When the edge is a drop, use distance 2

of the ruler.

When the edge is a wall (more than 2

cm/ 1” above the ground level), use the

3rd distance of the RoboRuler.

When the edge is at, use the short

distance of the RoboRuler.

• It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire.

• Burying the wire along exposed areas, such as pavements, is

usually recommended.

• If additional Perimeter Wire is required in order to complete the

setup, you can extend it using the waterproof Wire Connectors

provided (see page 43 “Splicing the Perimeter Wire”).

TIPS

Leave a minimum of 1.2 m (4 ft) if the

edge of the lawn borders water.

Alternatively, place a physical barrier

close to the water.

Min 1.2 m (4 ft)

15 cm (0.5 ft)

• Wires leading to and from an island should be fastened with the

same peg

Set the Perimeter Wire

clockwise around the

obstacle, otherwise

the mower will drive

into the Perimeter

Island or won’t be

able to mow the

area around

it properly.

TIP

Protect Soft Obstacles

Objects such as ower beds, ponds, or small trees must be

protected by setting Perimeter Islands.

Soft Obstacles

Keep min. 1.2 m (4 ft) between

islands; if obstacles are closer

together, use one island.

If the distance between an island and the

perimeter wire is lower than 1.2 m (4 ft), make

the obstacle part of lawn’s edge.

about 50 cm beyond the

Base Station and cut it.

TIP

Complete the

installation

30cm

50 cm (20”)

Open the back door of the Base Station.

Slide or install the wire through the designated tunnel and pass it through

the opening under the charging connectors until it goes out to the back of

the Base Station.

Peg the wire to the ground. Twist and wrap the wires so they could t

nicely in Base Station compartment. Connect the wire end marked with ‘A’

to the connector marked with A on the back of the Base Station. Connect

the other end to the other connector. Tuck the wire in and close the door.

Connect the power cable to the socket

Place mower in the Base

Station, make sure the

mower is contacting the

charge arms

Now you should see the LED indication on the Base Station blinking green

(if the mower is outside the Base Station), or steady green (if the mower is

inside the base). More detailed information on the LED indicators is located

on page 63.

you to select “Separated Zone” from

the mower’s home screen to initiate

mowing after manually placing the

mower in your separated zone.

Remember to bring your mower back

to the Base Station at the end of an

operation in a separated zone so that

it can charge and be ready to continue

the automatic plan without missing

an operation.

2. To test any adjustments you make to the wire, simply press the stop

control, and carry the mower to a location on the wire approx. 3

m before the area that was adjusted. Send it Home again. Repeat

this process as many times, per location and on as many locations

as necessary, until you are happy with how it navigates the entire

perimeter.

3. Once the mower has made it all the way around the perimeter it will

dock inside the base station.

Learn how to congure automatic operation and manually

bypass/override it when needed

• The Zone Size setting is used by the mower to automatically determine

the required mowing time for your lawn, and to recommend a weekly

schedule for best results.

• This schedule includes the available working days, as well as the

recommended working window available for each day.

• You can modify the working days and the working window according to

your needs.

Automatic

operation

• You can split the daily working window into two separate windows if

you’d like the mower to stay o the lawn for a time in between.

• It’s important to not overly limit your mower’s working time. Keeping

the schedule open will allow your mower to better adapt to changing

conditions and reach the needed working hours for the week.

• The mower will alert you ( i) if the number of working days and/or size

of the working window is not enough to accommodate the needed weekly

mowing hours. For more information, tap the ‘i’ icon.

Your mower will stop mowing once it has reached the required

hours for the week based on lawn size, so don’t think of this

schedule as necessary for preventing the mower from working

too much.

TIP

• Though your Robomow determines a smart schedule based on the

size you set for your lawn, you may nd the need to adjust from this at

times.

• The mowing time required to maintain your lawn can vary on factors

such as: grass type, weather / time of year, sunlight exposure, soil

drainage, fertilizing, etc... Because of this, it is recommended that you

monitor the quality of your lawn and make adjustments as needed.

• Your mower allows you to adjust the automatic schedule up or down,

either for all your lawn together, or dierently for each sub-zone.

• Too much mowing can damage your lawn and shorten the

longevity of your mower

• Too little mowing can result in an uneven look or the inability of

the mower to keep up with grass growth

TIPS

Mowing Hours

• For best results - It is recommended to not set more than 2 days in a

row without mowing.

• After the necessary mowing is completed for a given day, the mower

will stay in its Base Station until the next working day.

• By default the mower will be set with intensive mode switched ‘On’. In

this mode the mower will temporarily (for 7 days) work in the maximum

capacity mowing mode. This is done to bring your lawn quickly to an

even height before the mower switches into its automatic maintenance

schedule.

• If at any time during the season, the mower has gotten far behind on

coverage (possibly due to being switched o for an extended time, or

because of a burst of very fast grass growth, etc...) you can re-enable

Intensive Mowing to allow for the mower to catch back up. This will

operate the mower at max. capacity for 7 days after which time it will

change back to your previous schedule settings.

Note:

• The automatic operation comes disabled by default.

• During the one-time setup, the mower will guide you to set your lawn

size. When done you will be able to review the oered automatic plan,

change it and enable it.

• If needed, you can switch o automatic departure completely by

toggling the schedule on / o in the main screen.

• If you want, you can also stop automatic operation on a specic zone in

the lawn settings section.

Features -

how to

Near wire follow

Use this feature to reduce wheel tracks along the perimeter when the

mower travels back home to the Base Station. It works by allowing the

mower to travel at various distances from the wire on each trip instead of

always being centered directly over the wire.

Each lawn is dierent, so will require some experimentation to nd the

optimum min. and max. values.

Separated Zone

If you have a separated zone in your lawn, you need to set the separated

zone switch to ‘ON’. This will allow you to select “separated zone” from the

mower’s home screen to initiate mowing after manually placing the mower

in your separated zone. Remember to bring your mower back to the Base

Station at the end of an operation in a separated zone so that it can charge

and be ready to continue the automatic plan without missing an operation.

Intensive mode

If at any time during the season, the mower has gotten far behind on

coverage (possibly due to being switched o for an extended time, or

because of a burst of very fast grass growth, etc...) you can re-enable

Intensive Mowing to allow for the mower to catch back up. This will operate

the mower at max. capacity for 7 days after which time it will change back

to your previous schedule settings (automatic operation needs to be turned

on for intensive mode to be activated).

Signal type

The mower supports 3 signal types that you can choose from in the case

that you are experiencing interference from other robot mowers in adjacent

lawns. To change the signal type, place the mower in the Base Station and

select a dierent signal from the one you are currently using. Allow approx.

5 sec. for the mower to sync. with the Base Station on the new signal.
