We recommend installing a roof for
the charging station (17) to protect it from weather damage.

Laying the boundary wire
Lay the boundary wire (11) around the lawn area to be worked by the lawn mower. You can do this as follows:
– Stake out the lawn area. Fasten the boundary wire (11) with the hooks (13) (above ground).
– Stake out the hooks at a maximum distance of 1 m. Use additional hooks if the ground is uneven.
– Bury the boundary wire (11) in the ground (max. 5 cm deep).
The lawn mower crosses over the boundary wire by about 20 30 cm before it turns around and searches for a new path. Install the boundary wire accordingly to prevent damage.
For the initial installation, we recommend marking out the boundary wire (11) with the hooks (13) in case corrections need to be made at a later date.

1. Choose a level position for the charging station (17) near a power outlet with at least 2 m distance from the boundary wire to the front and 1 m to the rear. Do not fix the charging station until you have laid and connected the boundary wire. Please refer to “Fixing the charging station” for this.
· The charging station may be inclined max. 8 cm to the rear and max. 2 cm to the front.
· Remove any unevenness under the charging station. The charging station must never sag.
· Make sure there is sufficient distance to ponds, pools and steps.

The mower works perfectly with a boundary wire length of up to 200 m. Do not use a longer boundary wire.
· The lawn area must be bordered as a single enclosed area. Course for laying line of boundary wire
· Any parallel boundary wires (11) installed at a distance of at least 10 cm are identified as an obstacle by the lawn mower and are evaded. equal to or greater than 10 cm (3.94 inches)
· Any parallel boundary wires (11) at a distance of 5 mm or less are not detected by the lawn mower and are passed over.

49

GB MT

· Avoid creating corners with a 90° angle. Instead, divide them into two 45° angles (side a 20 cm).
· The lawn mower is able to detect and avoid stationary and fixed obstacles higher than 10 cm after contact (e.g. walls, garden furniture, etc.). Protect sensitive obstacles (e.g. flowerbeds) on the lawn area with the boundary wire (11). at least 30 cm (11.8 inches)
· Keep a distance of at least 1 m between bordered obstacles. Border obstacles that do not meet this minimum distance as a single obstacle. Course for laying line of boundary wire at least 1 m (39.37 inches)
· Never cross over the boundary wire. This can lead to faults and failures in the lawn mower’s operation.
Trees The lawn mower detects trees as a normal obstacle. However, protruding roots may damage the underside/blades (20). We recommend using the boundary wire (11) to also border trees.
at least 30 cm (11.8 inches), larger to measure
Rocks · Remove small rocks (lower than
100 mm) from the lawn area. These may damage the device and the blades (20). · The lawn mower detects rocks (taller than 100 mm) as normal obstacles. We recommend using the boundary wire (11) to also border rocks.

Slopes/gradients The lawn mower is able to traverse uphill slopes/gradients up to max. 25° (47%). At a distance of 1 m from the boundary wire, the slope/gradient should not exceed 5.7° (10 %).

Make sure that a distance of at least 30 cm is maintained between
the boundary wire (11) and an obstacle on an uphill gradient and at least 40 cm on a downhill gradient.

Open water areas Open water areas should be bordered by
the boundary wire (11) where possible or designed so that the lawn mower cannot enter the water. This may seriously damage the device’s electronics.

Working instructions
Regular mowing stimulates the grass to an increased leaf formation, while at the same time killing weeds. As a result, the lawn becomes denser after each mowing and an evenly resilient lawn is created. The first cut takes place roughly in April when the grass is about 7 – 8 cm high. During the main growing season, the lawn is mowed at least once a week.

3. Unlock the display (10) with the 4-digit PIN.
4. Press the start button (3). 5. Close the cover (1) again.
The lawn mower starts the set operating cycle or resumes its previous activity without interruption.

Switching off the lawn mower
1. Press and hold the START button (3) for about 3 seconds.
The lawn mower stops if: – the STOP button (9) is pressed – the cover (1) is raised – it loses the boundary wire signal and
does not find it again within 5 minutes – it crosses the boundary wire when
mowing. – it gets stuck between obstacles and
needs more than 10 seconds to find a way out. – it is raised
Mowing
There are two different modes: manual mowing and scheduled mowing.
In both modes, the mower automatically runs the boundary wire once after every seventh activated day and mows this area.
Depending on the nature of the grass (height, thickness), the robotic lawn mower adjusts its mowing speed to ensure a good result.

Manual mowing
Prerequisites for starting “manual mowing” mode: – The mower must be in standby mode
to start manual mowing (see section “Switching on and off”, section “Switching on the mower”). – Starting from the charging station requires a battery capacity of more than 70%. Otherwise, the mower automatically switches to charge mode until the capacity is more than 90%, then it automatically leaves the charging station. – Starting outside the charging station and inside the boundary wire requires a battery capacity of more than 30%. If the battery capacity is less than or equal to 30%, the mower automatically returns to the charging station.
1. Open the cover (1). 2. Unlock the display (10) with the 4-digit
PIN. 3. Press the OK button (7). 4. Press the START button (3) for 1 second
to start manual mowing.
In this mode, the device works as long as you have set the operating time (see section “Setting the operating times”) or until max. 24 hrs. At 24 hrs, the device automatically returns to the charging station and starts the following day according to schedule if a start time has been programmed. Otherwise, the device remains in the charging station.
If the STOP button (9) is pressed in this mode, the message “Emergency stop” appears in the display followed by the message “Continue work?”. Confirm with the OK button (7) to start manual mowing again or end manual mowing by pressing the Back button (5).

Scheduled mowing
Prerequisites for starting “Scheduled mowing” mode: – The mower must be in standby mode
to start automatic mowing (see section “Switching on and off”, section “Switching on the mower”). – Starting from the charging station requires a battery capacity of 100%. Otherwise, the mower automatically switches to charge mode until the capacity is 100%, then it automatically leaves the charging station. – Starting outside the charging station and inside the boundary wire requires a battery capacity of more than 30%. If the battery capacity is less than or equal to 30%, the mower automatically returns to the charging station.
1. Close the cover (1).
The mower starts automatically from standby at the scheduled time programmed in the schedule (see section “Setting the operating times”) when the start requirements are met. Do not press the START button in addition, otherwise the mower will operate in manual mode and not on schedule.

If the STOP button (9) is pressed in this mode, the message “Emergency stop” appears in the display followed by the message “Continue work?”. Confirm with the OK button (7) to start mowing again or end mowing by pressing the Back button (5). Mowing will not resume until the next programmed start time is reached and the start conditions are met, or when you start manual mowing.
If a fault is displayed in the mode, you can rectify and acknowledge it. The mower starts automatically within 30 seconds after closing the cover (1).
