Guide Line Map

As below is a general guideline map on how to install the mower including placement of the dock station and installation of the boundary wire.
At the corners, don’t lay the boundary wire at a sharp or right angle, make sure it has 35 cm space to the wall or other obstacles; an arc with a radius of at least 50 cm is preferable.

Placement of the dock station

1.  Places the dock station in a flattering position.
2.  Make sure the dock station entrance is pointing in a counter-clockwise direction.
3.  Make sure there is a minimum of 2 meters of straight wire in the front and 30cm straight wire in the back of the dock station.

CAUTION:
Don’t secure the dock station to the ground with ground screws before the boundary wire and adaptor cable connected with dock station.

Connection Of BoundaryWire And Dock Station

1. Follow up Fig.1 to Fig. 4 to connect the boundary

2. Connect the adapter power cord to a 100-240 V wall socket.

3. LED indicator status of charging staon:
   Solid red light: Power supply normal;
   blue light: Mower gets charging;
   Solid blue light: Loop signal normal or fully charged.

4. Secure the dock staon to the ground using the supplied ground screws by Allen wrench

Installation of Boundary Wire

1. Big trees, poles, flower beds and can be an obstacle for the mower and prevent you from burying the boundary wire.
2. If flowers should not be mowed, use the boundary wire to protect them.
3. A big tree with roots that can be an obstacle for the mower should be protected by burying the boundary wire.
4. Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the ground. If the boundary wire is loose or looped on the ground, the mower will cut the wire and the signal may be not strong enough for the mower to receive. The lawn mower can detect the signal from the boundary wire within a 20m radius.
5. Use a hammer to knock the pegs in the ground. Take care when hammering pegs and make sure the wire is flat on the lawn; the distance between pegs should be approximately 100cm. The distance between pegs should be 30- 50cm at corners.
6. Don’t let the boundary wire loop around itself.
7. If you intend to bury the boundary wire, make sure to place the boundary wire between 1 mm and 15 mm into the ground; the boundary wire should not be looped under the ground.

Quick start:

1. Place the mower in the area inside the boundary wire.
2. Press the STOP button to open the lid, hold the power button for three seconds to activate the LCD display, set the date and time, set the password, then it enters into the menu. Initial default password is ‘AAAA
3. Click the start button, press OK button and close the lid, the robot lawn mower will work automatically.

Mower Maintenance

1. Check and clean mower regularly once a week.
2. When you first start using the mower, the blade plate, protection plate and blades should be checked once a month.
3. It is important that the blade rotates easily. Additionally, if the blades is fixed, the blade plate must 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 results, which needs more power, therefore the mower can only cover a smaller area.
6.  Charge the battery fully at the end of the season before winter storage. If storage time is longer than one year, please recharge the mower again.

Cleaning

1. Never use a high-pressure washer or running water to clean mower.
2. It is important to keep the mower clean. Mowing with a large number of clippings and high slopes, mower needs more power to drive the blade plate.
3. We recommend using a brush to clean mower underneath, and, a damp sponge or cloth to clean the top body and outer case.

Change Cutting Blades

To replace the blades:

1. Power off the mower.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Turn mower upside down.
4. Rotate the skid plate so that its hole aligns with the blade screw.
5. Unscrew the blade. Use a flat head or head screwdriver
6. Pry the protection plate and blade plate a little apart and remove the blade and screw.
7. Tightly screw on new blade.
8. Change the blade to another side if current side is broken, worn, damaged or dulled.

Winter Storage

1. Mower must be carefully cleaned before winter storage. Charge the battery fully before winter storage
2. Store the mower in the station and place in dry area to protect from frost, preferably stored in the original packaging
3. Boundary wire can be left in the ground. As the charging station is removed, you should protect boundary wire end from moisture with electrical tape.

After Winter Storage

1. Check whether the mower, boundary wire, and charging electrode need to be cleaned before use. If the charging or contact strips appear to be rusty, clean them by using emery cloth. Check whether the mower’s time and date are correct.
2. Check whether the blades need to be changed.
3. Check whether the blades and blades plate turns easily. If not, please contact the service center for help.
