Manual and Automatic Operation
3.1
Activating The Perimeter Switch
The Robomow cannot operate unless the Perimeter Switch is turned on and the mower is on the
inside of the active perimeter. Locate or connect the Perimeter Switch to the zone, which you would
like to mow. Press the
‘
ON’
button to turn on the switch. You will hear one short beep when the
switch is first pressed, indicating it is on. To verify switch operation, there is a green LED located next
to the
‘
ON
’
button that will flash when operating properly. If an intermittent beeping is heard shortly
after turning the switch on, there is a problem with the batteries or the perimeter. Look to see which
red LED is flashing to determine which is the problem. You must correct the problem before the
Robomow will operate automatically. In a case where you have forgotten to turn on the Perimeter
Switch the LCD on the Manual Controller will display ‘No wire signal’ message (Figure 3.0), reminding
you to turn the switch on.
If a cut wire indicator is flashing be sure you connected the Perimeter Switch to the perimeter wire
using the small green connector. If the low battery light is flashing, insert fresh c-cell alkaline batteries.
If this does not correct the problem, refer to Chapter 6, Text Messages and Troubleshooting for further
help.
3.2
Positioning The Robomow On The Lawn
Remove the Manual Controller from its’ holder and drive the Robomow into the lawn area to be cut.
The manual driving speed of the Robomow has two speeds, slow and fast. You may select the
opposite speed by simply pressing the ‘Speed’ button once while in the process of driving the mower.
Position the Robomow at least 6-8 feet (1.8 – 2.4 m) from any straight length of perimeter wire, with
the front of the mower pointing to the perimeter wire. Figure 3.1.
