Safety
Mowing and charging
The mowing phases alternate constantly with the
charging phases. If the charge of the re-
chargeable battery drops to a specific value (dis-
play: 0 %) during mowing, the appliance returns
to the base station along the boundary cable.
Pre-set mowing programs are available for mow-
ing, and also include the lawn and edge mowing
function. These mowing programs can be
changed.
3 SAFETY
3.1
Designated use
This machine is solely intended for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well
as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are re-
garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss
of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will
thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.
The application limits of the appliance are:
■
Max. area: 1200 m
■
Max. upward/downward slope: 40 % (22°)
■
Max. lateral inclined angle: 40 % (22°)
■
Temperature:
■
Charging: 0 – 45 °C
■
Mowing: 0 – 55 °C
3.2
Possible misuse
This machine is not suitable for use in public gar-
dens, parks, sports stadiums, and in agriculture
and forestry.
3.3
Safety and protective devices
WARNING!
Risk of injury
Defective and disabled safety and pro-
tective devices can lead to serious injur-
ies.
■
Have any defective safety and pro-
tective devices repaired.
■
Never disable safety and protective
devices.
3.3.1
PIN and PUK input
The appliance can only be started by entering a
PIN (Personal Identification Number). This pre-
vents the appliance from being switched on by
unauthorised persons. The PIN can be changed.

If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the PUK
(Personal Unblocking Key) must be entered. If
this is also entered incorrectly, the user must wait
24 hours until entering it again.
The PIN and PUK input also serves as an anti-
theft device:
■
Keep the PIN and PUK so that they are inac-
cessible to unauthorised persons.
3.3.2
Sensors
The appliance is provided with several safety
sensors. It does not restart automatically after be-
ing switched off by a safety sensor. The error
message is shown on the display and must be
acknowledged. The reason for the triggering of
the sensor must be resolved.
Lifting sensor
If the appliance is raised by the housing during
operation, the travel drive switches off and the
cutting blades are stopped.
Bump sensors for obstacle detection
The appliance is equipped with sensors that en-
sure it changes its direction of travel if it encoun-
ters obstacles. When it encounters an obstacle,
the top part of the deck is shifted slightly and the
shock sensor triggered.
Tilt sensor in direction of travel/sideways
If an upward or downward slope or a laterally in-
clined angle of 22° (40 %) is reached in the direc-
tion of travel, the appliance is turned or the appli-
ance changes its direction of travel.
Rain sensor
The appliance is equipped with a rain sensor that
(when activated) interrupts the mowing procedure
in case of rain, and ensures that the appliance re-
turns to the base station.
NOTE
The appliance can be operated reliably in
the immediate vicinity of other automatic
lawn mowers.
The signal used in the boundary cable
corresponds to the standard defined by
the European Garden Machinery Industry
Federation (EGMF) with regard to elec-
tromagnetic emissions.
