Installation

CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

Connect the power supply in a cool, dry environment; out of direct sunlight.

If the power supply is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, it must be approved for outdoor use.

The low voltage cable can cross the operating area if it is stapled down or buried.

CAUTION: Do not cut, splice, or alter the low voltage cable. Altering product gurantee.

INSTALLING THE BOUNDARY WIRE

Lay down the loop wire reel at the charging station.

Go back around the boundary of the operating area and secure the boundary wire either using pegs or buried in the ground. Pegs are recommended since this allows for adjustment during the first few weeks of operation.

When securing the boundary wire with pegs:

Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid.
Lay the boundary wire on the ground and secure with pegs close together.
Push or hammer the pegs into the ground.

Do not push the pegs so far into the ground so that they strain the boundary wire.

When burying the boundary wire:

Bury the boundary wire 1—20 cm into the ground.

LED

| STATUS| MEANING|

ACTION

---|---|---|---
1. Operating (Green)| Flashing| Recovery mode| Place the robot in charging station with a mobile with the Greenworks tools App close to the mower for software update of mower. This can take up to 1 hour until the green LED to stop flashing. If LED doesn’t stop flash then restart the robot outside the CS and try again.
On| Mower in operation mode (charging, parked in Charging station, paused, mowing or searching)|
Off| Mower stopped with Stop button on mower, safety key in Disabled position, mower in error state or mower waiting for PIN code.|
2. Connectivity (Blue)| Flashing| Mower not ready for Bluetooth connection| If mower stopped with error the mower need to be restarted with the Start button to allow Bluetooth connection again
On| Mower ready for Bluetooth connection with Mobile App|
Off| Mower not in ”Power on mode”|
3. Security (Yellow)| Flashing| PIN code authorization required| … via Mobile App.
Off| No pin required| No action required
4. Error (Red)| Flashing| Mower stopped with error| Check the reason for the error and then restart by pressing the Start button on the mower.

BREAKS IN BOUNDARY WIRE AND GUIDE WIRE
