F. Remote Operation

1. Refer to the separate operator’s manual provided with the downloadable app.

Follow all warnings and instructions provided.

2. Always operate the mower according to the app instructions while standing

away from the mower.

3. Keep a safe distance between you and the mower when it is in operation.

Always stop the mower operation before approaching it for any reason.

4. Use extreme caution when operating the mower towards you.
5. Operate the mower by remotely only in daylight or in good artificial light, and

avoid operating on wet grass.

6. Never operate the mower remotely in bare feet, sandals, slippery or

lightweight (e.g. canvas) shoes. Always wear substantial footwear and long

pants; always make sure of your footing on slopes.

G. Batteries

1. Use only genuine batteries provided by the manufacturer. Batteries part

numbers are specified in the ‘Additional Information’ booklet.

2. Do not open, drop, or damage the sealed Battery Pack. Do not use the battery

with visible defects or deformations, when it is broken or cracked

3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR MODIFY BATTERIES! Repair attempts may

result in severe personal injury, due to explosion or electrical shock. If a leak

develops, released electrolytes are corrosive and toxic

4. Do not attempt to remove or destroy any of the battery components.
5. The Battery Pack contains electrolytes. In the case of electrolyte leakage

from the Battery Pack, the following action should be taken:
• Skin contact: Wash the contact areas off immediately with water and

soap.

• Eye contact: Flush the eyes with plenty of clean water for at least 15

minutes. Do not rub.

• Get medical assistance.

6. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode.
7. The battery is intended to be charged when it is inside the mower and

properly connected to the mower. Always use the power supply provided with

the mower. Incorrect usage may result in electric shock, overheating or fire.

8. Do not use the battery for any purpose other than powering the dedicated

Robotic Lawnmower. Altering the battery to make it powering another product

is extremely unsafe.

9. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for batteries to protect the

environment. Refer to the “Rechargeable Battery Disposal” section of this

User Guide for additional information.

10. When replacing the battery, be sure to insert the battery plug correctly.

Reversing the battery polarity may cause damage to the battery and mower.
