Chapter 6
Text Messages and Troubleshooting
6.1 Messaging
The RoboMower is equipped with a sophisticated monitoring system that will notify you in the form of a
text message in the LCD panel when common operational faults occur. In addition, it will also
communicate in text form several messages that are meant as a prompt to the user to perform a
certain function or action. If the LCD screen is blank, pressing the ‘GO’ button one time will wake the
mower up and the last fault or message displayed prior to stopping will now be displayed. . If a specific
problem re-occurs, it is recommended to identify the fault code prior to calling for service. The code
will be displayed in the ‘last stop cause’ under the ‘information’ menu.
While it is impossible to list every circumstance that will result in a message display, the most common
reasons for a particular message are provided in the following chart. Following this chart, in Section
6.2, you will also find additional operational and fault issues that may not display a particular text
message in the LCD panel. For issues that cannot be resolved through the use of these charts please
contact your service provider.
