9. The mowing system used by Automower is based on an effective and energy efficient principle Unlike normal lawn mowers Automower cuts the grass instead of striking it off We recommend you allow Automower to mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result Automower can even mow in the rain however wet grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of slipping on steep slopes is greater If there is a risk of thunder the 230 V plug should be removed 12 English 2 PRESENTATION The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best mowing result In order to keep the blades sharp for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn free from branches small stones and other objects 3012 422 English 13 2 PRESENTATION Working method Automower automatically mows the lawn Automower automatically mows the lawn When the battery is discharged the mower stops on the lawn and you need to carry it to the loop generator charger for charging When Automower body hits an obstacle the mower reverses and selects a new direction Two sensors at the front and back on Automower sense when the mower approaches the boundary wire Automower overruns the wire by up to 27 centimetres before it turns 3012 772 The STOP button on the top of Automower is mainly used to stop the mower when it s running When the STOP button is pressed a cover opens behind which there is a control panel The STO

11. Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision for example flower beds and fountains Run the cable out to the area route it around the area to be demarcated and then back along the same route If staples are used the wire should be laid under the same staple on the return route When the boundary wire to and from the island are close together the mower can drive over the wire 3012 764 Obstacles that can withstand a collision for example trees or bushes higher than 15 cm do not need to be demarcated by the boundary wire Automower will turn when it collides with this type of obstacle However for the most gentle and silent operation it is preferable to demarcate all fixed objects in and around the working area Obstacles that slope slightly for example stones or large trees with raised roots should be demarcated or removed Automower can otherwise slide up onto this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged If the mowing result in the garden is uneven due to the shape of the garden for example because of a long passage you have the option of dividing up your garden into zones This is done with the help of the boundary wire see the figure on the right When the mower is placed in zone 1 it will not mow in zone 2 and vice versa Move the mower between the zones to maintain an even mowing result
12. the inspection interval can be increased It is important that the blade disc rotates easily In addition the skid plate should rotate easily in relation to the blade disc The edges of the blades should not be damaged The service life of the blades depends on e Operating time and size of the working area e Type of grass e Type of soil e presence of objects such as cones windfalls toys tools stones roots and the like The life span can vary greatly but is normally 150 200 hours of operation To replace the blades see 7 5 Replacing the blades on page 41 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Working with dull blades gives a poorer mowing result The edges of the grass are not cut clean and more energy is needed resulting in Automower not mowing such a large area 7 1 Battery The battery is maintenance free but has a limited life span of 1 4 years Battery life is dependent on the length of the season and how many hours per week Automower is used A long season or many hours of use per week means that the battery must be replaced more regularly IMPORTANT INFORMATION Charge the battery fully at the end of the season before winter storage 36 English 7 MAINTENANCE 7 2 Winter storage Automower Automower must be carefully cleaned before winter storage see 7 4 Cleaning on page 39 Charge the battery fully before winter storage Turn the main switch to the OFF position Store the mower horiz
