4. USE
4.2 Using the timer
Use the timer function (see
6.3 Timer
on page 46.) to
avoid a downtrodden lawn. When setting the timer,
calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about the
listed amount of the number of square meters per
hour and day listed in table Work capacity.
Example
If the working area is 360 m
2
in size, R70Li must
operate for 8 hours a day. The times are
approximate and depend for instance on grass
quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
The factory setting for the timer is 07:00-23:00
(07:00-22:00 for the GARDENA
R38Li,R40Li,R45Li,R50Li) and it allows mowing
every day of the week. This setting is suitable for the
listed maximum working area.
If the size of the working area allows it, the quality of
the grass can be further improved if it is cut every
other day instead of a few hours every day. In
addition, the grass benefits from resting completely
during at least a three-day period once a month.
Standby
The robotic lawnmower has an inbuilt standby period
according to the Standby time table. The standby
period provides for instance a good opportunity to
water or play games on the lawn.
Example 1
The times used in this example are applicable to
GARDENA R40Li, but the principle is the same
for the other models.
Work period 1: 07:00 - 22:00
Work days: All days
The factory setting ensures that the robotic
lawnmower begins cutting the lawn at 07.00. The
mower is parked in the charging station from
20.00 and rests until it starts cutting again at
07.00.
If the timer setting is divided into two work
periods, the standby period can be divided into a
number of periods. The minimum standby period
time must however be a according to the
Standby time table.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use the timer to avoid mowing when there
are usually children, pets and anything else
that could be damaged by the rotating blades
on the lawn.
