4.2 Using the timer

 

The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the 
best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 

 

6.3 

Timer (1)

 

 to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the 

maximum life from your R40Li. When setting the 
timer, calculate that R40Li mows around 30 m

 

2

 

 per 

hour and day. For example; if the working area is 300 
m

 

2

 

, the mower must operate for 10 hours a day.

The factory setting for the timer is 07:00-22:00 and it 
can operate every day of the week. This setting is 
suitable for a working area of about 400 m

 

2

 

The R40Li has an inbuilt standby period of at least 11 
hours a day. The standby period provides for instance 
a good opportunity to water or play games on the 
lawn. 

If the timer setting is divided into two work hours, the 
standby period can be divided into a number of 
periods. The maximum operating time can however 
be a maximum of up to 13 hours. When in operation, 
the mower alternates between mowing and charging.

 

Example 1

 

Work hour 1: 07:00 - 22:00

Week days: All days

The factory setting ensures that the mower 
begins cutting the lawn at 07.00. The mower is 
parked in the charging station from 22.00 and 
rests until it starts cutting again at 07.00. 

 

Example 2

 

Work hour 1: 06:00 - 16:00

Work hour 2: 20:00 - 23:00

Week days: All days

The mower will operate between 06:00 and 
16:00. It will begin again at 20:00 but stop 
running at 22:00 to rest until it starts again at 
06:00. 

 

Example 3

 

Work hour 1: 20:00 - 06:00

Weekdays: Monday to Saturday

The mower will operate from Monday 00:01 to 
Saturday 23:59. As this work hour entails an 
operational period of 10 hours a day, there is no 
need to stop operations to obtain the correct 
standby period. 

The above times are approximate. The times depend 
for instance on grass quality, knife sharpness and 
battery age.

If the size of the working area allows it, 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.
