How Landroid Works
Landroid is an autonomous machine that can operate on its own. It knows when to go to its charging base, can sense rain, can stop itself if it detects a problem, and knows how to navigate around obstacles. It will also automatically stop its blade disc from rotating if it is lifted off the ground to prevent accidents.

Charging
When Landroid needs to recharge, it will stop mowing and follow the boundary wire in an anti-clockwise direction back to its charging base. Once charging is complete, Landroid will automatically resume mowing or stay in the charging base according to its mowing schedule.

Border Management
Landroid is programmed to mow the grass along the perimeter of your lawn twice a week on Monday and Friday. If you want to change this pre-set schedule, you can modify it via your smartphone or by using the control panel in the Work time-Customize Work time menus. See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.

Rain Sensor
Landroid is equipped with a rain sensor that detects rain. When rain is detected, Landroid will stop mowing and return to its charging base.

Rain Delay Time
After rainfall, Landroid will restart when the grass is no longer wet. The default Rain Delay time is 180 minutes, but you can change this setting via the Landroid App.

Extreme Weather
In case of a lightning storm, protect Landroid by unplugging the charging base, disconnecting the boundary wire, and ensuring Landroid is not allowed to charge. In winter and very cold weather with snow, it is recommended to store your Landroid inside. Winter servicing options may be available in some countries. Contact your dealer or check online for more details.

No More Grass Clippings to Collect
Landroid’s daily mowing produces short clippings that don’t need to be raked. These clippings act as organic nutrients for your lawn and help prevent weed propagation.

Cut to Edge
The special offset blade of Landroid gets as close as possible to the border of your lawn, reducing or eliminating the need for additional trimming.

Cutting Height
Before starting Landroid for the first time, ensure that your grass is no longer than 10cm. If it is longer, use a regular mower to cut it before operating Landroid. If you want to significantly reduce the height of your grass, it is recommended to adjust the cutting height gradually in steps.

HOW LANDROID WORKS

In the following section, we would like to help you better understand how Landroid works.
Landroid is an autonomous machine, capable of operating on its own. It knows when it needs to go to its charging base, can sense when it is raining, can stop itself if it senses a problem and knows to stop, draw back, and turn around when it bumps into something blocking its path. To prevent an accident, Landroid will also automatically stop its blade disc from rotating if it is lifted off the ground.

Charges itself
When your Landroid needs to recharge, it will stop mowing and follow the boundary wire in an anti-clockwise direction back to its charging base. Once charging is complete, Landroid will automatically resume mowing or stay in the charging base according to its mowing schedule.

Border management
Landroid is programmed to mow the grass along the perimeter of your lawn twice a week on Monday and Friday. If you want to change this pre-set, you can modify it via your smartphone or by using the control panel in “Work time- Customize Work time” menus.See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.

Rain sensor
Landroid is 100% weather proof and happy to be outside. But mowing wet grass does not give you the best finish or result. Landroid is equipped with a rain sensor which detects rain and tells Landroid to stop mowing and go back to its charging base.

Rain delay time
After a rainfall, Landroid re-starts when the grass is no longer wet. The default Rain Delay time is 180 minutes. You can change the Rain Delay time setting via Landroid App

In more extreme weather
In case of a lightning storm, protect Landroid by unplugging the charging base, disconnecting the boundary wire, and making sure Landroid is not allowed to charge. In the Winter and especially in case of very cold weather and snow, we recommend you store your Landroid inside. In some countries we offer a Winter servicing of your Landroid so it’s ready for the Spring growing season. Contact your dealer or check online for more details.

No more grass clippings to collect
Landroid’s daily mowing produces very short clippings that don’t need to be raked. These clippings are a perfect organic nutrient for your lawn. Frequent mowing boosts the density of grass blades and effectively prevents the propagation of weeds.

Cut to edge
The special offset blade gets as close as possible to the border of your lawn, leaving you little or no trimming to do.

Cutting Height
Before starting your Landroid for the first time, make sure your grass is no longer than 10cm. If longer, use a regular mower to cut it before operating Landroid. If you want to drastically shorten the height of your grass, it is recommended that you do so progressively, by adjusting the cutting height in steps.

Security & PIN Protection
To prevent unauthorised people from being able to use it, Landroid is protected by a PIN code that you can easily set up.

Easy clean-up
Thanks to its IPX5 waterproof, Landroid gets rid of dirt, grass, and sorts of grim that it picks up on work. Make Landroid look and perform even better.

GroundTracer
With the new auto-lifting design, its blades can raise automatically, giving it more clearance. This helps Landroid avoid certain situations that would block other robotic mowers.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

INSTALLATION

Installing your Worx Landroid is easier if you carefully follow these instructions. In the end, it is a matter of installing the charging station and laying the boundary wire all around your lawn. In addition to this manual, you can use the Get Started guide that’s inside the box and watch the comprehensive video tutorials on our YouTube channel*.
This information is provided for your convenience but does not replace the instruction manual and the safety instructions that needs to be read and understood.

EVERY MINUTE SPENT IN PLANNING SAVES YOU 10 MINUTES IN EXECUTION
Installing Landroid is even easier if you have made a clear idea of what you need to do. Proper planning will also help you avoid mistakes or having to rework the installation once it’s done.

1. On the surface or buried?
   Landroid’s boundary wire is designed to stay on the surface of your lawn. Nearly invisible from the first day, it will be engulfed in the soil in a few weeks. If you will want to bury the wire, it is recommended to first peg it down and test the installation is succes- sful by running Landroid over the perimeter. This allows you to easily check everything and, if necessary, change the layout before burying the wire. Bury the wire no more than a few centimetres below ground level, so that the wire ensures good signal.

2. Plan for the charging station
   The charging station is where your Landroid goes to have its battery recharged. It’s also the parking lot where it rests in between one mowing session and the next.

Locate a proper position for it, bearing in mind:

• A. It needs to be powered, so it should be no more than 10m away from an AC mains outlet
• B. If possible, choose a shaded position as batteries and chargers don’t like over-heating
• C. The base needs to sit on flat land to ensure effective docking
• D. Avoid places close to irrigation sprinklers

You can place the charging station on your lawn or on a hard surface like a walkway, provided that the lawn and the hard surface are at the same height (no steps).
To enter the station, Landroid needs at least 80cm straight path in front. On the exit side, it needs at least 30cm straight path before a left tum (fiq. 1). If the turn is to the right, there is no need for a straight path (fiq. 2).

Charging station checklist:

• within reach of AC mains
• in shade
• straight path on entrance; straight path on exit if necessary
• flat land
• no irrigation sprinklers nearby

Placement of boundary wire on slopes
The upper boundary wire should NOT be placed on slopes steeper than 35% (20°)*. The lower boundary wire should NOT be placed on slopes steeper than 17% (109), and it should be placed at least 40cm away from any obstacle when positioned on a slope that is 17%.

Plan for the boundary wire
The wire has to be placed at a certain distance from the edge of the lawn. This distance changes depending on what’s on the other side of the edge. Different parts of your lawn may border different scenarios:

• A. If the edge of the lawn borders a step: keep the wire 26cm from the edge. (figure 1)
• B. If the edge of the lawn borders a path at the same height: keep the wire 10cm from the edge. (figure 2)
• C. If the edge of the lawn borders a pool: keep the wire at least 30cm from the edge. (figure 3)

If a side of your lawn borders a neighbor’s lawn with a robotic mower in use, lay your wire at least 1m apart from your neighbor’s wire to avoid possible interference.

PATROL YOUR LAWN

Landroid is designed to manage the most complex of lawns. Carry out a visual inspection of your lawn so you are prepared for a trouble-free installation of the boundary wire.

1. Identify forbidden areas
   You don’t want your robot mower to mow flowers, dive into a water feature, or shred tree roots that emerge from the ground. Locate these areas and surround them with boundary wire to prevent Landroid from accessing them.
   The boundary wire is a single loop connected on both ends to the charging station, so you will have to depart with the wire from the border, surround the area you want to protect, then take the wire back to the border as illustrated here in fig. 1.
   If areas to be surrounded are far away from the border of your lawn, or if you have several areas and tree roofs to protect, this traditional method is time consuming.
   A great alternative is to purchase Landroid’s Off-Limits option. With this, you simply surround forbidden areas with the Off-Limits digital fence, which does not need to be connected to the boundary loop (fig. 2). The Off-Limits digital fence is also great to protect seasonal equipment (e.g. a trampoline) or for protecting new changes to the layout of your lawn without having to rework the boundary wire.

2. Identify obstacles
   Landroid’s bump sensor can manage solid obstacles such as trees, fumiture and the like, which don’t need to be surrounded by wire. If your lawn has several obstacles and trees close to each other, we recommend you to purchase the Landroid ACS option, an intelligent ultrasonic auto-pilot that makes your Landroid steer around obstacles instead of bouncing into them.

NOW ROLL YOUR SLEEVES UP. WHEN IT’S DONE IT’S DONE!
Now that you have planned the installation in every detail, you are ready to take action. Before starting, you may want to use your old mower for the last time to clean up your lawn and make the installation easier.

1. Fix the charging station in the selected location

   • Insert charging pile into charging base. Then secure the charging station to the ground by means of the supplied screws, using the supplied hex key (fig. 1)
   • If you position the base on hard surface, fix it with plug and screw fixings (not supplied)

2. Connect one end of the boundary wire to the charging station

   • Strip the end of the wire with a pair of scissors (fig. 2)
   • Open the plastic door and insert the stripped end into the red left clamp (fig. 3)
   • Pass the wire through the guide of the base, as shown in fig. 3

3. Lay the boundary wire around your lawn

   • Use the supplied gauge to set the distance wire to edge
   • If there is a step at the edge of your lawn, keep the wire at 26cm from it (fig. 4)
   • If there is no step, keep the wire at 10cm from the edge (fig. 5)
   • Ensure the boundary Wire is perfectly straight in each corner, and the angle of boundary wire is greater than 90° (fig. 6)

4. Secure the wire to the ground using pegs

   • Place pegs at approximately 80cm to each other (fig. 7)
   • Make sure the wire is always in close touch with the ground (fig. 8)

5. Lay perimeter islands, if needed

   • Protect flower beds, ponds, tree roots and other areas by surrounding them with the boundary wire
   • Depart the edge at a right angle to reach the area to be protected
   • Surround the area with the wire, keeping 26cm distance, until you close the island
   • Always lay the wire clockwise. Failing to do so will make the mower drive into the island
   • Return to the edge of the lawn following the same path

6. Bertelsen method: how to make perfect 90° angles with corners facing the lawn
   If there are 90 degree corners that face the inside of your lawn, use the Bertensen ruler to help Landroid make perfect turns (and remove the risk that Landroid hits an obstacle on the border of the lawn whilst doing this maneuver).

7. Close the loop

   • Once you have completed laying the wire on the perimeter of your lawn, you will arrive back to the charging station.
   • Pass the wire through the guide in the base, up to the clamp (fig. 11)
   • Cut the exceeding wire and strip the end with a pair of scissors
   • Insert the stripped end into the black right clamp

8. Final steps
   There are only a few more steps to go:

   • Connect the charging station to the AC mains socket (fig. 12)
   • If everything is fine, the LED will light green
   • If there’s a trouble in the loop, such as broken wire or wire ends not properly clamped, the LED will tum red. Check that| everything is fine and see the FAQ session if the problem persists
   • Open the rear of Landroid and insert the PowerShare battery into the slot until it clicks (fig. 13)
   • Place Landroid on charge by making sure a deep contact is established with the base (fig. 14). The LED will blink green; once the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn solid green.
   • Let Landroid charge the battery for a while. Whilst it is charging you may want to take a well-deserved break: get familiar with the following instructions, and connect Landroid to your Wi-Fi network.

9. Joining up the boundary wire
   Landroid box includes two small, waterproof boundary wire connectors. They can be used for the following:

   • When your lawn has a very long perimeter and you need extra boundary wire to complete the installation. Please do not exceed 300m of boundary wire: this is the maximum length of the boundary wire perimeter
   • When the boundary wire is cut by accident and you need to fix it
   • When you decide to rework your garden in the future and need to modify the original boundary wire installation

The connectors are waterproof and provide optimal electric connection (Fig.15).

• Insert both ends of the wire into any two of the three holes of the connector; no need to strip the wires
• Insert the wires fully until both wire ends are visible on the other side of the connector
• Press the connector firmly by using a pair of pliers

Attention: it is not recommended to simply splice the boundary wire with insulating tape or use a screw terminal block for connection.
A broken circuit may occur after a period of time as soil moisture can oxidize the wire.
