5.9.4 Deleting the values
If the last time you mowed was ages ago, e.g. at
the end of the previous season, the boundary
quality values might have changed in the me-
antime. This could lead to mistakes when the
new season gets underway. It is recommended
therefore to delete the boundary quality value
every year at the beginning of the season and to
determine a new reference value. This can help to
guarantee that the robot lawn mower works safely
and reliably.
The robot lawn mower must be in locked mode.
The lock LED (51) will then fl ash red permanently.
To lock the robot lawn mower you must press the
lock button (62). Proceed as follows to delete the
values saved for the corresponding areas:
1. Reference value of the main area (A): Press
the "OK" button (63) and the "10H" button
(60) simultaneously and hold for 3 seconds.
An acoustic signal will sound. Place the robot
lawn mower in the charging station (19) and
restart it in order to carry out a new initializati-
on run.
2. Reference value of the secondary area (B):
Press the "OK" button (63) and the "8H" button
(60) simultaneously and hold for 3 seconds.
An acoustic signal will sound.
5.10 Switching on and checking the installa-
tion
5.10.1 Checking the installation of the guide
cable and the charging station (Fig. 6a)
As soon as the LED display (19a) on the charging
station (19) lights up green, the mowing area is
ready for the robot lawn mower. First check that
all the fastening pegs (23) for the guide cable (24)
have been fully tapped in.
Place the robot lawn mower in the search loop a
short distance behind the charging station (19).
To check as far as possible the complete distance
of the guide cable (24): The robot lawn mower
should not yet be on the guide cable (24) but
should be facing the guide cable (24). Switch on
the main switch (7) (ON) (Fig. 8).
Press the "„STOP"" button (3) and open the con-
trol panel cover (13). Press the lock button (62),
unlock the robot lawn mower using the PIN, and
confi rm your entry with the "OK" button (63) (see
the section "Lock mechanism / PIN").
Press the "HOME" button (61). Then close the
control panel cover (13). Now the robot lawn
mower will search for the guide cable (24) in
order to fi nd the charging station (19). First it will
travel forwards until it arrives at the guide cable
(24). Depending on the situation the robot lawn
GB
mower might stop briefl y beforehand in order to
re-orientate. Then the robot lawn mower will follow
the guide cable (24) counterclockwise. Make sure
there are no objects lying on the guide cable (24).
The battery of the robot lawn mower will now be
fully charged. If any problems occur with docking,
you might need to adjust the orientation of the
charging station (19) until docking works without
any problems.
To stop the robot lawn mower at any time, press
the red „STOP" button (3). When you press the
„STOP" button (3), the robot lawn mower will
come to a stop and wait for further instructions.
Check in addition those places which lie far away
from the search loop and those areas which are
connected by bottlenecks. Repeat the process as
described above and use the "HOME" button (61)
to send the robot lawn mower back to the char-
ging station (19).
5.10.2 Checking the mowing area (Fig. 6b)
To check the boundaries of the mowing area, walk
along the lawn boundary and check if the mowing
area is completely surrounded by boundaries or
obstacles. Repeat this with all areas which are
to be excluded, e.g. fl ower beds, pools or ponds,
and check whether these areas are clearly se-
parated from the mowing area at all points. It is
recommended to examine critical points which
you doubt that the robot lawn mower will recogni-
ze. For this purpose place the robot lawn mower
a distance of 1 m away from the point you want to
check. The robot lawn mower needs to be facing
the point you want checked. Areas protected by a
magnetic tape (27) must also be checked. Then
start the unlocked robot lawn mower with the help
of the "START A/B" button (64). First the robot
lawn mower will travel forwards and should then
recognize the lawn boundary or the obstacle. You
can interrupt the process at any time with the help
of the „STOP" button (3). Repeat this process at
all points where you feel unsure.
5.10.3 Checking the position of the charging
station (Fig. 6c)
Check the position of the charging station (19) by
positioning the robot lawn mower at various points
of of the lawn after calibration is completed and
have the mower search for the charging station
(19). First unlock the robot lawn mower, then
press the "HOME" button (61) and close the con-
trol panel cover (13). You can interrupt the process
at any time with the help of the „STOP" button
(3). If necessary adapt the area, the laying of the
guide cable (24) and the position of the charging
station (19).
