DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION
The Robolinho is a fully automatic, bat-
tery-operated lawnmower which moves freely
within a defined mowing area.
The mowing area is defined by a boundary
cable that is connected to the base station.
In order for its battery to be recharged, the
Robolinho moves along the boundary cable
into the base station.
Mowing programs are pre-installed for mo-
wing, and also include the lawn and edge mo-
wing function. These mowing programs can
be changed.
The special arrangement of blades means
that the mown grass is not gathered up but
remains on the lawn between the stalks of
grass. As a result, it has a mulching or fertili-
sing effect.
SENSORS
The Robolinho is equipped with various safety
sensors (9).
Lifting sensor
If the Robolinho is lifted up by its deck during
operation, a sensor stops the blade within 2
seconds and switches off the travel drive.
Bump sensors and obstacle detection
The Robolinho is equipped with sensors that
ensure it changes its direction of travel if it
encounters obstacles. When it encounters an
obstacle, the top part of the deck (9-1) is shif-
ted slightly. This causes a sensor to trigger a
change in the direction of travel.
Tilt sensor in direction of travel
The Robolinho is switched off by the tilt sen-
sor if it encounters an upward or downward
slope of more than 35%.
Tilt sensor on side
The Robolinho is switched off by the tilt sen-
sor if it encounters sideways slopes of more
than 35%.
ADVICE
The Robolinho does not restart automa-
tically after being switched off by a safety
sensor. To restart, it is necessary to ack-
nowledge the fault by pressing the multi-
function key and rectifying the fault.
TRANSFORMER
The transformer generates the electricity for the
base station.
WARNING!
Damage due to splash water!
Set up the transformer in a dry place
where it is protected against splash wa-
ter.
ASSEMBLY
ADVICE
It is essential to comply with the se-
quence described here
Base station
The base station is connected to the electri-
cal power supply (transformer) using the low-
voltage cable (6).
The base station generates a control signal
and sends this in the boundary cable.
There are two charging contacts on the base
station which contact the charging contacts
on the Robolinho as soon as it moves into the
base station.
Setting up the base station
1 Place the base station (4-2) in a shady lo-
cation in the garden on smooth level ground
where it will be protected against the rain (5).
Then use lawn pegs (4-1) to secure it in place.
Comply with the specified dimensions when
doing this (12-3).
Boundary cable
The boundary cable is secured with lawn pegs. If
the supplied boundary cable is not large enough
for your lawn, you can obtain an extension ca-
ble from your AL-KO dealer, technician or service
partner.
Remove the 10 mm of insulation from the
boundary cable (6-2) and connect it to one
side (6-1) of the base station. Then continue
to lay the cable as shown (12), complying with
the specified distances.
