Start-up / Installation
Getting Started
Recharge the Robot
First, recharge the Robot. It will come in handy at the end of installation for
checking the correct functioning of the lawn mower.
Fix the garden
Before starting the Robot, the customer must be instructed on how to fix up
the lawn.
The most common problems are small holes, small toys, and rocks, basically
all objects which cannot be detected as an obstacle and which pass under the
body of the robot and may be picked up by the cutting blade.
Sprinkler system
Watch out for the sprinkler system; make sure the sprinkler heads do not
protrude from the grassy surface. This may damage the cutting blade.
Marking boundaries
The garden must be checked and adjusted so that the robot has enough
space for recognising when there is no grass. Carefully follow the above
points for the correct and safe use of the robot.
The robot moves in both directions and changes its forward direction only if
the following events are verified
-
No grass.
-
Gradual slope exceeding 27-30°.
-
Rapid slope exceeding 15-20°.
-
Knocks to the body detected by the current of the wheel motors.
-
Too much adsorption of the wheel motor.
The figures to the left show how to mark the boundaries of the lawn so that
the robot does not go outside the area to mow.
If there are areas which are dangerous for the robot (e.g. a pool, pond, abyss,
stairs going down, a sudden and steep descent) adjustments must be made to
prevent the robot from being damaged. The first figure shows an incorrect
situation.
