4. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION
The evoCUT 4.0 is a fully automatic, battery-
operated lawnmower which moves freely within a
defined mowing area.
The mowing area is defined by a boundary cable
that is connected to the base station.
In order for its battery to be recharged, the
evoCUT 4.0 moves along the boundary cable into
the base station.
Mowing programs are pre-installed for mowing,
and also include the lawn and edge mowing
function. These mowing programs can be
changed.
The special arrangement of blades means that the
mown grass is not gathered up but remains on the
lawn between the stalks of grass. As a result, it
has a mulching or fertilising effect.
4.1 Sensors
The evoCUT 4.0 is equipped with various safety
sensors.
Lifting sensor
If the evoCUT 4.0 is lifted up by its deck during
operation, a sensor stops the blade within 2
seconds and switches off the travel drive.
Bump sensors and obstacle detection
The evoCUT 4.0 is equipped with sensors that
ensure it changes its direction of travel if it
encounters obstacles. When it encounters an
obstacle, the top part of the deck is shifted slightly.
This causes a sensor to trigger a change in the
direction of travel.
Tilt sensor in direction of travel
The evoCUT 4.0 is switched off by the tilt sensor if
it encounters an upward or downward slope of
more than 35%.
Tilt sensor on side
The evoCUT 4.0 is switched off by the tilt sensor if
it encounters sideways slopes of more than 35%.
Rain sensor
The evoCUT 4.0 is equipped with a rain sensor
that interrupts the mowing procedure in case of
rain, and ensures that the evoCUT 4.0 returns to
its base station.
The evoCUT 4.0 does not restart
automatically after being switched off by a
safety sensor. To restart, it is necessary to
acknowledge the fault by pressing the
multifunction key and rectifying the fault.
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION, ASSEMBLY
4.2 Transformer
The transformer generates the electricity for the
base station.
WARNING!
Damage due to splash water!
Set up the transformer in a dry place where
it is protected against splash water.
4.3 Basisstation
The base station is connected to the electrical
power supply (transformer) using the lowvoltage
cable (Fig. 4 - 3).
The base station generates a control signal and
sends this in the boundary cable.
There are two charging contacts on the base
station which contact the charging contacts
(Fig. 7 - 1) on the evoCUT 4.0 (Fig. 7 - 2) as
soon as it moves into the base station.
The [HOME key] is located on the base station.
Pressing this key causes the evoCUT 4.0 to
terminate its current activity for the day, and it
returns automatically to the base station.
5. ASSEMBLY
I
t is essential to comply with the sequence
escribed here.
5.1 Setting up the base station
Place the base station in a shady location in the
garden on smooth level ground where it will be
protected against the rain. Then use lawn pegs to
secure it in place. Comply with the specified
dimensions when doing this (Fig. 8).
Thus the evoCUT 4.0 can safely enter and exit at
the base station, the base station must be placed
on a flat area without inclination. The boundary
cable must be connected to the base station just
precisely at a right angle both at the entrance side
and the exit side, respectively to approximately a
meter in length.
