hazard. Avoid routing the perimeter wire
and power cable over edges (e.g. edges of
pathways or paving stones). When routing
the perimeter wire and power cable on
ground into which the supplied fixing pins
cannot be driven (e.g. paving stones,
pathways), a cable duct must be used.
Correct routing of the perimeter wire and
power cable must be regularly checked.
To prevent the risk of stumbling, always
drive in the fixing pins all the way.
Do not install the docking station in a place
where it is difficult to see and could
become a tripping hazard (e.g. around the
corner of a house).
If possible, install the docking station out of
the reach of pests such as ants or slugs –
in particular avoid the area around anthills
and composting units.
Areas in which the robotic mower cannot
operate safely (e.g. due to danger of
falling), must be blocked off through
appropriate routing of the perimeter wire.
VIKING recommends that the robotic
mower is only operated on lawns and
surfaced paths (e.g. paved drives).
The robotic mower does not detect any
sudden drops such as edges, steps,
swimming pools or ponds. If the perimeter
wire is routed along potential sudden
drops, a clearance of at least 1 m must be
maintained between the perimeter wire
and the danger area for safety reasons.
Regularly inspect the area on which the
machine is to be used and remove any
sticks, stones, wires, bones and all other
foreign objects that could be thrown up by
the machine.
After installing the perimeter wire,
particularly remove all tools from the
90
mowing area. Broken or damaged fixing
pins must be removed from the lawn and
disposed of.
Regularly check the area to be mown for
uneven areas and level them out.
Never use the machine with damaged
safety devices or with safety devices
removed.
The switch and safety devices installed in
the machine must not be removed or
bypassed.
All worn or damaged parts must be
replaced before use of the machine.
Replace any illegible or damaged danger
signs and warnings on the machine. Your
VIKING specialist has a supply of
replacement stickers and all the other
spare parts.
Before initial operation, it must be checked
– that the machine is in a safe operating
condition. This means that the covers,
guards and the flap must be in place
and in good condition.
– that the docking station is in a safe
operating condition. Here, all covers
must be properly installed and be in
good condition.
– that the power supply unit has been
connected to a properly installed
socket.
– that the insulation of the electric cable
and the mains plug on the power supply
unit is in good condition.
– that the entire machine (housing, hood,
flap, fastening elements, mowing blade,
blade shaft etc.) is neither worn nor
damaged.
– that the mowing blade and the blade
fastening are in a proper condition
(secure seating, damage, wear).
(
15.3)
– that all screws, nuts and other fastening
elements are in place and are properly
tightened. Tighten any loose screws
and nuts prior to initial operation
(observe tightening torques).
Perform all necessary work or consult a
specialist dealer. VIKING recommends
VIKING specialist dealers.
6.7 Programming
Observe local regulations regarding
permitted operating times for gardening
power tools with motors and programme
the active times accordingly. (
In particular, programming must also be
adapted so that no children, spectators or
animals are in the area to be mown during
operation.
The robotic mower must not operate at the
same time as a sprinkler system. Adapt
the programming accordingly.
Ensure that the correct date and the
correct time are set on the robotic mower.
Correct the settings if necessary. Incorrect
values may cause the robotic mower to
start up unintentionally.
6.8 During operation
Keep other persons, especially
children
and animals, out of the
danger area.
Never allow children to approach or play
with the robotic mower during operation.
