13. Notes on mowing

13.1 General
The robotic mower is designed for the
automatic mowing of lawns. The grass is
kept short through continuous mowing.
The result is a perfect, thick lawn.
Lawns that have not previously been
mown using a conventional lawn mower
will only be mown neatly following several
mowing operations. Especially in the case
of high grass, a good cutting pattern is only
achieved after a few mowing operations.
In hot, dry conditions, the lawn should not
be kept too short as it will otherwise be
burnt by the sun and become unsightly.
The cutting pattern will be better with a
sharp blade than with a blunt one; the
blade should therefore be replaced
regularly.

13.2 Mulching

The robotic mower is a mulching mower.
During mulching, the grass clippings are
further shredded in the mowing deck
housing after cutting. They then fall back
into the turf, where they remain and
decompose.
The finely shredded clippings return
organic nutrients to the lawn, serving as a
natural fertiliser. Fertiliser requirements
are thereby reduced significantly.

13.3 Active times

During the active times, the robotic mower
is allowed to leave the docking station and
mow the lawn. During these times,
mowing operations, charging
operations and rest periods take place.
The robotic mower automatically
distributes the mowing and charging
operations between the available time
windows.
During installation, active times are
automatically distributed over the entire
week. Time reserves are taken into
account – this ensures perfect lawn care,
even if individual mowing operations
cannot take place, (e.g. due to rain).
During the active times, third
parties must keep out of the danger
area. The active times should be
adapted accordingly.
Moreover, the applicable local
regulations on the use of robotic
mowers as well as the information
in the "For your safety"
section ( 6.) must be observed
and the active times changed
accordingly in the "Mowing plan"
menu as required. (
In particular, you should check the
times of the day and night at which
it is permissible to use the machine
with the responsible authorities.

13.4 Mowing duration

The mowing duration specifies how many
hours per week the lawn is to be mown. It
can be extended or reduced. (
The mowing duration corresponds to the
time during which the robotic mower mows
the lawn. Times during which the battery is
charged are not part of the mowing
duration.
During initial installation, the robotic
mower automatically calculates the
mowing duration based on the specified
size of the mowing area. This reference
value is based on a normal lawn under dry
conditions.

14.1 Preparation

An installation assistant is available
for initial installation. (
● Install the docking station (
10.7)
● Route the perimeter wire (
connect (
● Remove foreign bodies (e.g. toys,
tools) from the mowing area.
● Charge the battery (
● Set the time and date (
● Check the mowing plan and adapt if
necessary – in particular it must be
ensured that third parties keep away
