To calculate your slope gradient. Stick bamboo canes into the ground at the top most part of the
slope, and the bottom most part of the slope. Add canes at regular intervals (they must not be
spaced at a distance larger than their height) in a straight line between. Run a length of garden
twine from the bottom of the upper most cane to the next cane down the slope. Repeat until all
canes have level string between them as shown in the diagram.
To calculate the gradient:
Measure the length of each string between each cane. Add them together. This is the run of the
slope.
Measure the vertical distance from the bottom of each cane to where the string meets. Add
them together. This is the rise.
The formula for calculating the gradient is (Rise/Run) *100
I have multiple lawns; do I need two mowers?
If you have two lawns which are connected by a corridor or path which wider than 1m and all on
the same level, the L10 can navigate this as part of normal operation. We would not recommend
that you attempt to allow the L10 to navigate a corridor of gravel, as this may damage the
cutting mechanism.
If you have multiple lawns separated on different levels or separated by obstacles which would
prevent the L10 from gaining access (such as a fence), the L10 will need to be moved manually to
the secondary lawn. In order to do this, the boundary wire is set up as normal around the main
lawn, and the secondary lawn is wired up as an island.
