Thank you for choosing the LawnMaster
®
VBRM16 robotic lawnmower. This mower will
independently mow the lawn in a random pattern without the use of a boundary wire and charging
station and will operate during daylight hours only. The mower detects grass in order to know
where to mow, and is also equipped with ultrasonic sensors which detect higher obstacles such
as shrubs and fences. For successful operation, the lawn must be defined with flat borders such
as paving, or raised edges. When the mower does not detect grass or encounters an obstacle, it
changes route in a random manner and starts mowing again in a new direction. The mower can be
moved around to different lawn areas provided that they are defined as described in this instruction
manual.
The mower uses a detachable MX 24V battery which is compatible with all products in the
LawnMaster
®
24V range. It is designed to be used once or twice a week for several hours, and
then stored away in a garage or shed until it is needed again. It will mow approximately 100m²
on a single charge depending on lawn conditions. Excessively long or wet grass may impact
performance, it is therefore important to maintain a regular mowing schedule to keep on top of
growth and develop a neat lawn finish.
First Operation
The VBRM16 is designed to detect grass and move into areas it identifies as grass. If it cannot see
a clear boundary it will continue to move into areas off the lawn and into plants that it may identify
as grass. Trimming the lawn edge with a grass trimmer before use will help define a better lawn
edge. During first operation on a new lawn it is important to monitor the robot as it detects edges to
see where the boundary definition needs to be improved. Please do read the instructions fully, our
instructions have been written to help you to get the best results and also provides useful ideas for
temporary boundaries as well as examples of how to define a better lawn edge in all seasons.
FOR YOUR SAFETY: CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
