Safety Devices; Stop Button; Disabling Device; Protective Covers - Viking MI 422 Manuel D'utilisation

The robotic mower can be
operated reliably and
without interference in
close vicinity to other
robotic mowers. The wire
signal meets the EGMF
(European Garden
Machinery Federation) standard with
regard to electromagnetic emissions.

5. Safety devices

The machine is equipped with several
safety devices for safe operation and for
the prevention of improper use.
Risk of injury!
If a safety device is found to be
defective, the machine must not be
operated. Consult a specialist
dealer; VIKING recommends
VIKING specialist dealers.

5.1 STOP button

When the red STOP button on the top of
the robotic mower is pressed, operation of
the machine is stopped immediately. The
mowing blade comes to a standstill within
a few seconds and the message "STOP
button pressed" appears in the display.
The robotic mower cannot be operated
and is safe while the message is active.
( 23.)
When automatic mowing is
switched on, following
confirmation of the message with
OK, the system enquires
whether automatic operation is to be
continued.
If the response is Yes, the robotic mower
continues to mow the lawn in accordance
with the mowing plan.
86
If the response is No, the robotic mower
remains stationary in the mowing area and
automatic mowing is switched off. (
Pressing and holding the STOP
button also activates the disabling
device. ( 5.2)

5.2 Disabling device

The robotic mower must be
disabled prior to any
maintenance or cleaning work,
prior to transportation and prior
to inspection.
The robotic mower cannot be operated
when the disabling device is activated.
Activating the disabling device:
– Press and hold the STOP button
– in the Commands menu,
– in the Safety menu.
Activating the disabling device via the
Commands menu:
● In the "Commands" menu, select the
"Lock iMow" entry and confirm with the
OK button. ( 10.5)
Activating the disabling device via the
Safety menu:
● Open the "Safety" submenu in the
"Settings" menu. ( 10.16)
● Select the "Disab. device" entry and
confirm with the OK button.
Deactivating the disabling device:
● When required, wake up the machine
by pressing any button.
● Unlock the robotic mower using
the illustrated button
10.5) combination. For this purpose,
press the OK button and the
Back button in the sequence
shown on the display.

5.3 Protective covers

The robotic mower is equipped with
protective covers that prevent inadvertent
contact with the mowing blade and the
clippings.
These include, in particular, the hood.

5.4 Impact sensor

The robotic mower is equipped with a
movable hood which serves as an impact
sensor. During automatic operation, it
immediately comes to a standstill if it
contacts a solid obstacle which has a
specific minimum height (8 cm) and is
firmly attached to the ground. It then turns
to face another direction and continues
mowing. If the impact sensor is triggered
too frequently, the mowing blade is also
stopped.
Impacts against obstacles occur
with a certain force. Sensitive
obstacles, e.g. light objects such as
small flower pots, can therefore be
knocked over or damaged.
VIKING recommends removing
obstacles or blocking them off by
means of no-go areas. ( 11.8)
