GB GB
• In the event of leakage of electrolyte, ush with water/
neutralising agent, seek medical help if it comes into
contact with the eyes.
• Store the appliance with battery pack fully charged at
room temperature (around 20ºC).
• Every deep discharge cycle decreases the capacity
of battery pack. To prolong battery life, it is
recommended to charge the battery every 6 months
over extended periods of time without use.
Transport
The original packaging should be used when transporting
the Robotic Mower over long distances.
To safely move from or within the working areas:
• Press the STOP button to stop the mower.
• Move the main switch button to the OFF position if you
intended to carry the mower.
• Carry the Robotic Mower using the handle below at the
rear. Carry the mower with the blade disc away from the
body.
Robotic Mower basic operating principles
• The Robotic Mower chooses its working direction
randomly. It will mow your garden completely without
leaving behind any uncut part within the area restricted
by the chosen boundary.
• You dene the work area by installing the supplied
boundary wire. Once the Robotic Mower detects
the boundary wire, it will stop, move backwards and
continue mowing in a different direction. It is important to
ensure that the boundary is complete. Any objects you
wish to protect within the boundary, such as a garden
pond, trees, garden furniture or ower beds can also be
protected using the boundary wire. The boundary wire
must form one complete loop. If the Robotic Mower
encounters an obstacle, such as a person, tree, pet
or other general garden obstacles, it will stop, move
backwards and continue mowing in a different direction.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
22 23
GB GB
• If you need a narrow corridor to connect two patches of
lawn within the boundary, the corridor should be at least
2 metres wide and max. 8 m long.
Note: If the Robotic Mower loses ground contact when
hitting an obstacle, the blade disc will stop immediately
to avoid any potential damage.
Locating the docking station
• When the battery is running low, the Robotic Mower
will automatically return to the docking station. It will
approach the closest boundary wire and follow it
anticlockwise (without cutting) back to the docking
station. When fully charged, the Robotic Mower will
automatically resume the interrupted working cycle. The
launch direction from the docking station - clockwise - is
hard-wired into the design and is impossible to change.
Recognising the boundary wire
• Note that before stopping and changing the direction,
the Robotic Mower will overrun the boundary wire by 10
to 20 cm. Please keep this in mind when planning the
boundary wire installation.

Robotic Mower mowing limitations
• During rst use, the Robotic Mower is set to work 7 days
a week. You can adjust the daily working time to match
your garden.
• In case a neighbour is using the same Robotic Mower,
you will need to keep a distance of 0.5m between you
and your neighbour's boundary wires. Otherwise, the
two devices might interfere with each-other. Additionally,
ensure that your docking station is positioned at least
10m away from your neighbour's boundary wires. Finally,
ensure that the adjacent boundary wires are using
different signals. Please refer to section "Signal setting"
in order to select signal S1 or S2 for your installation.

Robotic Mower cutting information
• The Robotic Mower has a cutting height setting between
20 mm to 60 mm. If the grass height exceeds 60 mm,
cut it to 60 mm or below before using the Robotic
Mower. Otherwise the load on the unit will be too large
and the cutting efciency will suffer, we recommend
using an ordinary lawnmower or trimmer. Once the
installation is complete, adjust the cutting height to the
desired setting. Always start in a high cutting position
and work your way down to the cutting height you want.
Before adjusting the cutting height, always press the
STOP button (2) to interrupt the cutting. Then turn the
large dial to adjust the cutting height.
Note: Only adjust the cutting height while the Robotic
Mower is switched off.
• Do not use the Robotic Mower during lightning or
thunder storms. In case of damage to the electronic
circuitry, unplug the docking station and - if possible -
disconnect the boundary wire.
The Robotic Mower cutting efciency relies on sharp
blades, so please keep these in good condition.

Installation Guide
This chapter explains how to install the Robotic Mower. Please read this completely before
you start the installation.
Introduction
We recommend creating a draft of your lawn, including all obstacles and how these should
be protected. This makes it easier to nd a good position for the docking station and how to
correctly place the boundary wire around your garden perimeter protecting bushes, ower
beds etc. You will also need some tools, like a hammer and wire cutters, pliers or scissors.
Cutting limitations
The Robotic Mower is equipped with collision sensors. These will detect any rigid
and xed obstacles higher than 100 mm, such as walls, fences and garden furniture.
When triggered, the Robotic Mower will stop, reverse backwards and then continue
mowing in a different direction. Still, protecting the obstacles using the boundary wire is the
recommended long-term solution.
> 100 mm
Trees
The Robotic Mower treats trees as common obstacles, but if the roots of the tree are exposed
and lower than 100mm, this area should be excluded using boundary wire in order to protect
the tree root, cutting blades or rear wheels from damage.
Stones
We recommend clearing the lawn of small (less than 100 mm high) rocks and stones and
any stones with a round or sloped edge. The Robotic Mower might try and climb such
rocks instead of recognising them as a barrier.
A Robotic Mower getting stuck on such a stone requires user intervention to restart mowing.
Contact with stones can result in damage to the blades.
Slopes
The Robotic Mower can navigate slopes up to a maximum of 40% incline or decline.
Slope should not be steeper
than 40%.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
30 31
GB GB
The boundary wire should never run perpendicular to a gradient of more than 10°.
Likewise, please allow a corridor of at least 2m between a 10° or steeper slope and the boundary
wire. Otherwise, the faster downhill speed may cause the Robotic Mower to overshoot the
boundary wire, especially on wet and slippery ground.
> 40 cm
Paths, Driveways and Roads
If an elevated driveway crosses your lawn, it is advised to keep it outside of the boundary
wire.
Please allow a safety distance of 40 cm between driveway and boundary wire.

< 5 mm
2) Alternatively, keep the distance between the two parallel wires below 5 mm. Do not cross
the wires - see below. This way, the Robotic Mower will not recognise the wires and travel
across them unhindered. This option requires placing an obstacle on the boundary wire
around the owerbed. Place the obstacle, for example a large rock or pole, near position A
indicated on the below illustration. The obstacle must be surrounded by a at area of about
1 m x 1 m, without any slopes. This obstacle will allow the machine to exit the circle.
Flowerbeds
Use the boundary wire to exclude any owerbeds from the cutting area. There are two options
for the two lengths of boundary wire running between the owerbed and the
outer boundary:
1) Keep the distance between the parallel wires above 10 cm. This way, the Robotic Mower
will recognise the boundary wire as an ordinary obstacle. When cutting, it will "bounce" off
it as usual. When following the boundary wire back to the docking station, it will take the
detour around the ower bed.
> 10 cm
> 10 cm
Never cross the wires!
General Dos and Don’ts
Do not run the boundary wire directly above an ordinary power cable.
The power cable's electric eld may distort the boundary signal.
Never cross two boundary wires! This will distort the radio signal and cause erratic behavior
of the Robotic Mower.
Ponds and Pools
While the Robotic Mower is protected against rain and spray water, being submerged is likely
to cause severe damage to the electronic parts.
Therefore, it is imperative to exclude any pools from the cutting area. For added safety, we
recommend placing a fence around the pool.
Max length
of the
corridor is
8 m
Minimum width of
the corridor is 2 m
If you have created a boundary corridor inside your working area, the corridor should be at
least 2 m wide and a max length of 8 m.
If a corridor is too narrow or too long, the Robotic Mower might not be able to navigate it
from one end to the other.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

GB GB
Keep in mind that owers, bushes and surrounding shrubbery will change in size over a season.
Please allow sufcient space between boundary wire and other plants to avoid interference year-
around.
Marking out the Robotic Mower's working area
Now that you understand the basic principals of how the Robotic Mower works, the next
step is to mark out the working area with boundary wire by referring to your garden plan.
This is a very important part of the installation, so please take care.
Starting from the docking station, the boundary wire must be set in one continuous loop
without any breaks or crossings. Connecting the end to the docking stations second
connector will complete the circuit.
Where appropriate, use the included ruler to check the 40 cm required distance.
First, locate the best position for your docking station. Be aware that it needs a permanent
connection to the mains, so take into account the location of the nearest power outlet.
The included supply cord has a length of 9 m.
> 1 m
> 2 m
The docking station (5) must be placed on a at surface, at ground level.
To ensure the Robotic Mower can return to the docking station smoothly, leave 2m of straight
wire to the front of the docking station and 1m to the side facing the cutting area. Use a
shaded location for the docking station, as a lower temperature while charging is benecial to
the battery.
Important: Place the docking station on an even, at surface away from ponds, pools or
stairs.
We recommend suitable protection from the elements, for example a robot port or garage.
Pay attention to protect cable!
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
36 37
GB GB
Do not place the docking station too close to a slope, such as at the top of a hill or the
bottom of a furrow. Avoid left and right inclination in excess of 5 degrees.
If your lawn has a soft or uneven surface, we recommend fortifying the area around the
docking station with a grass protection mesh. Otherwise, the repeated stress of the rear
wheels can damage the turf.
Once the position of the docking station is conrmed and mains electrical connection is
laid out, do not connect to to the mains power, nish all boundary layout work before
connecting the docking station to the power supply.
The pegs should be knocked into lawn
with wire location to boundary outside
like shown.
Cutting area
40 cm
80 cm
Pegging out the boundary wire
We strongly recommend mowing the lawn to 60 mm or less before laying out the boundary
wire. Burying the boundary wire is entirely optional. Still, the closer to the ground you lay out
the boundary wire, the lower the chance of tripping over it or damaging it when mowing the
lawn.
In a very short time, the wire will be covered by grass. As the voltage is only 32 V, there
is no risk of electric shock.
Unpack the boundary wire (18) and locate the free end. Mark the desired path of the boundary
wire with the xing pegs (15).
Use the included ruler (16) to to ensure the required 40 cm distance between wire and
obstacles.
The recommended distance between two pegs is about 80 cm in straight lines, and less in
tight curves. Note that the pegs' hook and wire slit always faces the outside of the boundary.
When rst planting the pegs, do not drive them fully into the ground. Use a light hammer
to drive them in a little bit. Also locate the xing pegs and lay each one on the lawn at
approximately the correct distance from lawn edges (40cm) and obstacles.
There is a gauge supplied for this.
Once all pegs are in position, lay out the boundary wire. Start from the docking station. Run
the wire through the peg's hook and wire slit one-by-one. Do not tighten the boundary wire
too much to prevent wire damage. Carefully prevent any kinks, knots, etc.
When cutting the wire, we recommend leaving at least 1 m spare wire to allow for
adjustments.
Note: The pegs are not suitable for xing the boundary wire on hard surfaces, e.
g. when running the boundary wire across a driveway. Instead, use appropriate
screws and plugs. Be sure to use insulation washers to protect the wire
insulation.

After connecting the “F” and "B" connectors to the docking station, the docking station
can be xed down with the boundary pegs.
Before xing the docking station, please check again that the above mentioned conditions
are met:
- Even surface within range of power supply
- 2 m straight boundary in front,
- Inclination less than 5 %
- Surplus boundary wire tucked under the docking station for protection, outside the
boundary.
Once the docking station is xed, connect the charger extension cable (14) to charging base.
Now, connect the power supply to the mains outlet. After a brief self-test, one blue LED on the
docking station should light up. If all LEDs stay dark, double-check the mains outlet and the
power supply. If anything other than a single blue LED lights up, please refer to the chapter on
trouble-shooting.

Status indicator LEDs
Lift signal
A red LED above this symbol shows that the lift sensor has triggered.
Note: Vibrations or collisions can also trigger the lift sensor.
If this sensor is triggered for less than one second, the Robotic Mower will resume its work
schedule immediately.
If the lift sensor is triggered for more than 1 second but less than 8 seconds, the Robotic
Mower will stop operating for a short amount of time, then restart. If the Robotic Mower's lift
signal is triggered for more than 8 seconds, this will trigger the anti-theft system. The device
will lock itself and an alarm will sound.
Boundary wire signal
The boundary wire emits an electromagnetic signal. The Robotic Mower uses this
signal to determine if it is within the cutting area.
The red LED above this symbol ashes when the device does not receive the "within
boundary" signal. In this case, the Robotic Mower will stop mowing immediately.
Low battery symbol
This LED will turn on when the battery charge is low. In this case, the Robotic Mower
will immediately return to the docking station.
Charging
This LED will ash while the battery is charging. A continuous LED indicates a fully
charged battery.
While charging, the boundary signal receiver is powered off to save energy. This can cause
the "boundary wire signal" LED to turn on.
Working time setting
The above buttons let you choose the mower's daily working hours.
Please refer to the below table for the recommended working time per day, depending on the
working area.
The current working time is indicated by the illuminated button.
A ashing button means that the device has already worked the respective hours that
day.
Note: The average working time with a fully loaded battery is less than the minimal working
time setting of 4 h. When the Robotic Mower returns to the docking station, the clock does
not stop. The charging time counts as working time.
