Poor connections
-
Check and repair all loose/poor or corroded
connections
-
Weak batteries
-
Install fresh alkaline C-cell batteries
-
Poor wire splicing (confirm that
when the Perimeter Switch is turned
on, first the ‘Cut wire’ indicator is
flashing once).
-
Twisted cables, or a screw terminal,
insulated with insulation tape is not
a satisfactory splice. Soil moisture
causes the conductors to oxidize
and after a while result in broken
circuit.
-
Use the connectors supplied in the box. It is
waterproof and gives a reliable electrical
connection.

-
Perimeter wire too long for one
zone
-
A maximum perimeter wire length of 1000 feet
(300 m) is recommended. Areas requiring
longer lengths should be broken into separate
zones. If the ‘Cut Wire’ indicator flashes once
when the Perimeter Switch is activated, this
confirms a length too long for a single
perimeter zone.
-
Batteries are completely
discharged.
-
Install fresh alkaline C-cell batteries
-
Batteries installed with wrong
polarity position.
-
Verify correct placement of batteries.

-
Mower is in deep sleep.
-
If not connected to the charger at all times
when not in use, the Robomow will conserve

nothing will display on the
LCD screen.
-
Power Pack has been discharged
from lack of charge maintenance.
-
It is required for the charger to remain
connected to the Robomow when not in use.
Failure to do so can cause permanent Power
Pack damage. Contact your service provider.
