1.1.2 Product description
Note: GARDENA regularly updates the appearance
and function of the products. Refer to
Support on page

.
The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product has a
battery power source and cuts the grass automatically. It
continuously alternates between mowing and charging.
The movement pattern is random, which means that the
lawn is mowed evenly and with less wear. The boundary
wire and the guide wire controls the movement of the
product within the work area. Sensors in the product
senses when it is approaching the boundary wire. The
front of the product always passes the boundary wire by
a specific distance before the product turns around.
When the product hits an obstacle or approaches the
boundary wire the product selects a new direction.
The operator selects the operation settings in the
GARDENA Bluetooth
®
App or with the keys on the
keypad. The app and the LED status indicator lamps
show the selected and possible operation settings, and
the operation mode of the product.
1.1.2.1 Mowing technique
The product is emission free, easy to use and saves
energy. The frequent cutting technique improves the
grass quality and decreases the use of fertilizers.
Collection of grass is not necessary.
1.1.2.2 Find the charging station
The product operates until the battery state of charge is
low. Then it follows the guide wire to the charging
station. The guide wire is laid from the charging station
towards, for instance, a remote part of the work area or
through a narrow passage. The guide wire is connected
with the boundary wire and makes it much easier and
faster for the product to find the charging station.
1.1.2.3 GARDENA Bluetooth
®
App
The product can be operated with the keypad on the
product and use the factory settings of the product.
To adjust the settings of the product the GARDENA
Bluetooth
®
App is used. The product can be controlled
remotely with Bluetooth
®
within short range.

3.2 Main components for installation
The installation involves the following components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary
wire.
• To send control signals along the guide wire
so that the product can follow the guide to
specific remote areas in the garden and can
find its way back to the charging station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V power outlet.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work area and
around objects and plants that the product must
not run into. The loop wire is used both as
boundary wire and guide wire.
3.3 General preparations
CAUTION: Holes with water in the lawn
can cause damage to the product.
Note: Read through the Installation chapter before
beginning the installation. How the installation is done
affects how the product performs. It is therefore
important to plan the installation carefully.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and include all
obstacles. This makes it easier to see the ideal
positions for the charging station, the boundary
wire and the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put the
charging station, the boundary wire and the guide
wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the guide wire
connects to the boundary wire. Refer to

the guide wire on page 18
.
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
• Cut the grass before you install the product. Make
sure that the grass is maximum 4 cm / 1.6 in.
Note: The first weeks after installation the perceived
sound level when cutting the grass may be higher than
expected. When the product has cut the grass for some
time, the perceived sound level is much lower.
3.4 Before the installation of the wires
You can select to attach the wires with stakes or bury
them. You can use the 2 procedures for the same work
area.
CAUTION: If you use a dethatcher in
the work area, bury the boundary wire and

protection from the sun and rain.
• Put the power supply in an area with good airflow.
• Use a residual-current device (RCD) with a tripping
current of maximum 30 mA when you connect the
power supply to the power outlet.
Low-voltage cables of different lengths are available as
accessories.
3.4.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION: There must be a barrier of
minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height between the
boundary wire and water bodies, slopes,
precipices or public roads. This will prevent
damage to the product.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends
when you install the boundary wire.
CAUTION: For careful operation
without noise, isolate all obstacles such as
trees, roots and stones.
The boundary wire should be put as a loop around the
work area. Sensors in the product senses when the
product approaches the boundary wire, and the product
selects another direction. All parts of the work area must
be maximum 15 m / 50 ft. from the boundary wire.
To make the connection easier between the guide wire
and the boundary wire, it is recommended to make an
eyelet where the guide wire will be connected. Make the
1585 - 004 - 03.03.2021

too steep must be isolated with the boundary wire. The
gradient (%) is calculated as height per m. Example: 10
cm / 100 cm = 10%.
10 cm/4"
100 cm/40"
10%
• For slopes steeper than 25% inside the work area,
isolate the slope with boundary wire.
• For slopes steeper than 10% along the outer edge
of the lawn, put the boundary wire 20 cm / 8 in. (A)
from the edge.
A
>10%
0-25%
• For slopes adjacent to a public road, put a barrier
of minimum 15 cm / 6 in. along the outer edge of
the slope. You can use a wall or a fence as a
barrier.
3.4.3.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on each
side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The
distance between the boundary wire on each side in the
passage must be a minimum of 60 cm / 24 in.
Note:
If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
The recommended minimum distance between the
guide wire and the boundary wire is 30 cm / 12 in. The
product always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen
facing the charging station. It is recommended to have
as much free area as possible to the left of the guide
wire (A).

5 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction - maintenance
WARNING: The product must be
switched off before any maintenance is
done. The product is disabled when the LED
status indicator is not lit.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.
For better operation and longer service life, make sure
to clean the product regularly and replace worn parts. All
maintenance and servicing must be done according to
GARDENA's instructions. Refer to
Warranty on page
44
.
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount
of wear during this period has been low, the inspection
interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The
lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for
instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 4 to 7 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
Replace the blades on
page 28
on how to replace the blades.
Note:
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more
energy is needed resulting in the product not mowing
such a large area.

6.6 Find breaks in the loop wire
Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of
unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when
gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost,
also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage
the wire. Breaks can also occur due to the wire being
stretched excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can
damage wire insulation. Damage to the insulation may
not cause disruptions until several weeks or months
later. To avoid this, always select the maximum cutting
height the first weeks after installation and then lower
the height one step at a time every second week until
the desired cutting height has been reached.
A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to
disruptions several weeks after the splice was done. A
faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the
coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a
pair of pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the
original coupler has been used. Please first check all
known splices before further troubleshooting is done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving the
distance of the loop where the break may have occurred
until there is only a very short section of the wire left.
The following method does not work if
ECO mode
is
activated. Make sure first that
ECO mode
is switched
off. Refer to
ECO mode on page 22
.
1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging
station flashes blue, which indicates a break in the
boundary loop. Refer to
Indicator lamp in the
charging station on page 36
.
2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the
charging station are properly connected and not
damaged. Check that the indicator lamp in the
charging station is still flashing blue.

POWER
3. Switch the connections between the guide wire
and the boundary wire in the charging station.
Start by switching connection L and GUIDE.
If the indicator lamp is flashing yellow, then the
break is somewhere on the boundary wire between
L and the point where the guide wire is connected
to the boundary wire (thick black line in the
illustration).
Guide
GUIDE
L
To rectify the fault you will need boundary wire,
connector(s) and coupler(s):
a) If the suspected boundary wire is short then the
easiest way is to exchange all of the boundary wire
between L and the point where the guide wire is
connected to the boundary wire (thick black line).
b) If the suspected boundary wire is long (thick
black line) then do as follows: Put L and GUIDE
back to their original positions. Then disconnect R.
Connect a new loop wire to R. Connect the other
end of this new loop wire at the middle of the
suspected wire section.
R
If the indicator lamp now is flashing yellow, then
the break is somewhere in the wire between the
disconnected end to the point where the new wire
is connected (thick black line below). In that case,
move the connection for the new wire closer to the
disconnected end (roughly at the middle of the
suspected wire section) and check again if the
indicator lamp is green.
1585 - 004 - 03.03.2021
Troubleshooting - 39
Continue until only a very short section of the wire
remains which is the difference between a solid
green light and a flashing blue light. Then follow
instruction in step 5 below.
4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3
above: Put L and GUIDE back in their original
positions. Then switch R and GUIDE. If indicator
lamp now is lit with a solid green light then
disconnect L and connect a new boundary wire to
L. Connect the other end of this new wire at the
middle of the suspected wire section. Follow the
same approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.
5. When the break is found, the damaged section
must be replaced with a new wire. Always use
original couplers.
