The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. When the robotic lawnmower is allowed
to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened.
Besides, the robotic lawnmower is subjected to
unnecessary wear. If the working area is less than the
robotic lawnmower's area capacity, the quality of the
grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day
instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass
benefits from resting completely during at least a three-
day period once a month.
The timer function is also an ideal way to control which
work hours the robotic lawnmower should not mow, for
example, when the children are playing in the garden.
The factory setting of the
Timer is 07:00-22:00, (R70Li/
R80Li: 07:00-23:00) Mon - Sun. This is normally a
suitable setting for a working area corresponding to the
maximum capacity. If the working area is less than
maximum capacity then the timer should be used to
minimize wear on grass and lawnmower. When setting
the timer manually, calculate that the robotic lawnmower
mows about the listed amount of the number of square
meters per hour and day listed in table Work capacity.
See
To set the timer on page 24.
The table below provides suggestions for different timer
settings depending on garden size. The times should be
seen as indicative. They may need to be adjusted to suit
the garden and for example grass quality and growth
during the season. Use the table as follows:
•
Find a work area that closest matches the size of the
lawn.
•
Select an appropriate amount of work days per week
(for some work areas 7 days may be needed).
•
Work hours per day shows how many hours a day
the robotic lawnmower will be allowed to work for the
selected amount of work days.
•
Suggested time interval shows a time interval that
corresponds to the required work hours per day.
