6.2.4 Work 

Time 

Allows the user the option of setting the operating time from the ‘

MAX’

 default setting to times ranging 

from 20 minutes up to 2 hours. Figure 6.4. This option is available for up to 4 different zones, Dock 
Zone, Zone B, C or D.  Having four different zones can allow you to set operating time for several 
different zones that are of varying sizes, not requiring the same operating time for mowing.   

 
  
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 

6.2.5 Wide 

Scan 

Wide scan provides the Robomow a secondary navigation technique, which can prove to be 
beneficial in some lawns.  Wide scan will increase the distance between subsequent legs of mowing 
after each movement off of the perimeter wire.  If it appears that the Robomow is simply driving along 
the same path back and forth, activate wide scan. 

 

6.2.6 Learn 

Edge 

This menu option is used in 

non-docking zone

 only. The default distance for edge mowing is 

approximately 1.5 to 2 rounds around the perimeter. This feature allows the user to learn a specific 
distance in each operating zone in order to cause the mower to cut the edge a specific distance, such 
as one full round. It will remain as a learned distance until the edge is re-learned or the factory default 
edge is selected. It should be done when the Manual Controller is in the holder and flush with the 
mower top.  ‘Learn Edge’ gives you the ability to have the Robomow learn the distance around the 
edge. Figure 6.5. 

 

• 

Position the Robomow to start edge mowing and place the Manual Controller in its holder 

• 

Follow the steps described in Figure 6.5 to begin the process 

• 

‘Learn Edge’

you want the edge learned
