The STIHL 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; STIHL recommends STIHL
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 on the display.
The robotic mower cannot be operated
and is safe while the message is active.
(
24.)
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 mowing area in
accordance with the mowing plan.
106
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 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 More menu,
– in the Safety menu.
Activating the disabling device via the
More menu:
● In the "More" menu, select the "Lock
iMOW®" entry and confirm with the OK
button. (
11.8)
Activating the disabling device via the
Safety menu:
● In the "More" menu, open the "Settings"
and "Safety" submenus. (
● 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
15.4)
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
11.16)
small flower pots, can therefore be
knocked over or damaged.
STIHL recommends removing
obstacles or blocking them off by
means of no-go areas. (
