4.4.2 Start with next timer
The robotic lawnmower stays in the charging station
until the next Timer setting permits operation. This
operation selection is suitable if one wishes to cancel an
ongoing mowing cycle and allow the robotic lawnmower
to stay in the charging station until the next day.
4.5 Stop
1. Press the STOP button.
The robotic lawnmower stops, the blade motor stops
and the hatch opens.
4.6 Switch off
1. Press the STOP button.
2. Set the main switch to position
0.
Always switch the robotic lawnmower off using the main
switch if it requires maintenance or if the robotic
lawnmower must be moved outside the working area.
4.7 Timer and Standby
Timer on page 22 ) to avoid
a downtrodden lawn.
4.7.1 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.

4.7.2 To set the timer
When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic
lawnmower mows about the amount of the number of
square meters per hour and day listed in table Work
capacity.

About 70
If the working area is for example 800 m

in size, the
robotic lawnmower must operate for:

The times are approximate and depend for instance on
grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
WARNING: 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.
The factory settings for the timer allow the robotic
lawnmower to operate around the clock 7 days a week.
However, the robotic lawnmower will not operate during
the built-in standby period.
4.7.3 Example 1
The times used in this example are applicable to
GARDENA R130Li, R130LiC, but the principle is the
same for the other models.
Timer setting, Period 1: 00:00 - 22:00.
Active period (A): 00:00 - 19:00.
The factory setting ensures that the robotic lawnmower
begins cutting the lawn at 00.00. However the mower is
parked in standby mode in the charging station from
19:00 and rests until it starts cutting again at 00:00.
If the timer setting is divided into 2 work periods, the
standby period can be divided into a number of periods.
The minimum standby period time must however be
according to the Standby time table.
