SAFETY DEVICES
1. Obstacle detector
The bumper sensor is activated if the robot strikes a solid object greater than 10 cm (3.94 ") in height, which stops the movement in that direction and moves backwards to avoid the obstacle.
2. Inclinometer
If the robot works on a slope which is steeper than the maximum limit, or tips over, the robot will stop the cutting blade.
3. Emergency stop switch
Located on the upper part of the robot with the word "STOP" larger than the other commands on the keypad. Pressing this button
at any time during operation will immediately stop the movement of the lawn mower robot and the rotation of the blade will stop.
4. Over-current protection
Each motor (blade and wheels) is monitored continuously during operation for any situation that may cause them to overheat. If this occurs in the wheel motor, the robot will attempt to move in the opposite direction. If the over-current persists, the robot will stop and signal an error. If the cutting blade motor overheats, there are two intervention ranges. If the parameters fall within the rst range, the robot will perform the manoeuvres to unblock the cutting blade. If the over-current is below the protection range,
the robot will stop and signal a motor error.
5. No signal sensor
If there is no signal, the robot will automatically stop.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
EN
The appliance is a robot designed and built to automatically trim
grass in gardens and house lawns at any time of the day or night.
It is small, compact, silent and easy to transport.
Depending on the characteristics of the surface to be trimmed, the robot can be programmed to work on more than one area: a primary area and secondary areas (according to the specications of the various models).
During operation, the robot trims the area marked off by the
perimeter wire.
When the robot detects the perimeter wire or encounters an obstacle, it changes direction in a random manner and starts mowing again in a new direction. The robot does not cross the perimeter wire for a distance greater than half its length.
According to its operating principle random, the robot automatically trims the entire delimited area of the lawn (see gure).
The robot is able to recognise the presence of higher and/or thicker grass in an area of the garden and to automatically activate, if considered necessary, the spiral movement for a perfect nish. The spiral movement can also be activated by pressing “ENTER”
while the robot is mowing.
The lawn surface that the robot is able to trim depends on a series of factors, such as:
model of the robot and type of batteries installed;
•
characteristics of the area (irregular perimeters, uneven
•
surfaces, divided areas, etc.);
characteristics of the lawn (type and height of the grass,
•
moisture, etc.);
conditions of the blade (level of sharpness, without residuals
•
and deposits, etc.);

PACKING AND UNPACKING
The equipment is delivered suitably packaged. When unpacking, carefully remove and check the integrity of the parts.
Warning – Caution
Keep plastic wrapping and plastic containers away from infants and children: risk of suffocation!
Important
Keep the packaging materials for future use.
PLANNING OF SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The robot is not difcult to install, but requires some preliminary planning in order to nd the best area for installing the charging station, power supply unit and for laying out the perimeter wire.
The charging station must be positioned on the edge of the
•
lawn, preferably in the largest area from which other areas of the lawn are easily accessible. The area where the charging station is installed is hereinafter referred to as the “Primary Area.”
Warning – Caution
Position the power supply unit in an area that cannot be reached by children. For example, at a height above 160 cm (63 ").
EN
Warning – Caution
Make sure only authorised people have access to the power supply.
Warning – Caution
When connecting the electricity, it is necessary that a power outlet is positioned near the installation area. Make sure the connection to the mains power complies with the applicable laws. To operate in complete safety, make sure the electrical system, which is connected to the power supply unit, is equipped with a well­functioning earthing system. The supply circuit shall be protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
Important
It is advisable to install the unit in a cabinet for electric components (for outdoor or indoor use), equipped with a key lock, and well-ventilated to maintain a correct air circulation.
The robot must be able to easily nd the charging station at the end of the work cycle, which will also be the starting point for
•
a new work cycle and for reaching any other work areas, hereinafter referred to as “Secondary Areas.”.
Position the charging station according to these rules:
•
on level ground;
-
on compact and stable ground with good drainage;
-
preferably in the widest part of the lawn;
-
in case of sprinklers, make sure the water jets are not directed inside the charging station;
-
make sure the entrance of the charging station is positioned as shown in the gure, so that the robot can enter it by
-
following the perimeter wire in a clockwise direction; there must be a straight area of 200 cm (78,74 ") in front of the charging station;
-
any metal bars or rails separating the lawn near the station may interfere with the signal. Position the station on a different
-
side of the garden or at a safe distance from the metal barrier. For more information, please contact the Manufacturer’s Technical Service Centre or an authorised dealer.
The charging station must be well fastened to the ground. To prevent a small step from forming at the front of the charging
•
station, position a small piece of fake grass at its entrance to stop this from occurring. Alternatively, remove part of the grassy surface and install the charging station ush with the grass.

The charging station is connected to the power supply unit via a cord that must move away from the charging station on the
•
outside of the cutting area.
Position the power supply unit according to these rules:
•
in a well-ventilated area protected against atmospheric
-
agents and direct sunlight;
preferably inside your home, a garage or shed;
-
if positioned outdoors, the robot must not be exposed to
-
direct sunlight and water. Therefore, it must be protected inside a ventilated box. Do not position in direct contact with
the soil or humid environments;
position it on the outside of the lawn and not inside;
-
stretch out the excess cord going from the charging station
-
to the power supply unit. Do not shorten or lengthen the
cord.
The incoming section of the wire must be straight and aligned
•
perpendicularly to the charging station by at least 200 cm (78.74 in.) and the outgoing section must move away from the charging station; this allows the correct re-entry of the robot.
If the robot is installed near an area which has another robot (from the same or another manufacturer), then the transmitter and receiver of the robot must be modied during installation so that the frequencies of the two robots do not interfere with other. In this situation, contact the closest customer service centre.

charging station
Before installing the perimeter wire, it is necessary to check the entire surface of the lawn. Make any necessary adjustments to the grassy surface during the laying of the perimeter wire in order to allow the robot to function correctly.
1. Evaluate the best method for returning to the charging station according to the instructions described in the chapter “RE­ENTRY METHOD TO THE CHARGING STATION”.
2. Evaluate whether a special installation of the perimeter wire is necessary according to the instructions described in the chapter “SET-UP OF THE ROBOT’S QUICK RE-ENTRY TO THE CHARGING STATION”.
3. Preparation and dening of the work areas.
4. Installation of the perimeter wire.
5. Installation of the charging station and power supply unit. When
laying the perimeter wire, respect the installation direction (clockwise) and the rotation direction around the owerbeds (counter-clockwise), As shown in the gure.
RE-ENTRY METHOD TO THE CHARGING STATION
The robot can return to the charging station in two different ways based on what is set in the user menu under the eld “Settings – Re-entry to Base.” Use the “On the Wire” method only when there are numerous obstacles inside the garden and near the perimeter wire (within 2 meters). In all other cases it is better to use the “V-Meter” method for the quickest re-entry to the charging station.
EN
“Follow wire”. This method of re-entry to the charging station commands the robot to follow the perimeter wire, positioning its wheels on either side of the wire. If this method is activated, there is no need to prepare the “Recall on Wire” as described below.
“V-Meter”. By setting this method of re-entry to the charging station, the robot runs along the perimeter wire at an indicative distance ranging from a few centimetres to one meter (3.2 '), touching it every now and again in the curved sections until the signal emitted by the charging station has been recognised for guiding itself on the wire and entering correctly into the charging
station.
If narrow passages are present or the arrow for quick re-entry to the charging station, the wire must be positioned in a special way, called “Recall on the wire.” As soon as a “Recall” is recognised, the robot will follow the perimeter wire at low speed, and with more precision for around 10 meters (33 '). It will then return to the “V-Meter” re-entry mode if the quick re-entry or charging station was not encountered.
Follow these instructions to install the “Recall”:
the “Recall” is a piece of wire that extends for around 2 m (6.6 ') with a distance of 5 cm (1.96 ") between each wire;
•
the “Recall” must be positioned at a distance of 2 m. (6.6 ') in front of any narrow passages;
•
the “Recall” must be positioned in the section in front of the “Quick Re-entry”.
•
NB: If the robot does not nd the charging station within a certain amount of time, it will follow the perimeter wire in
“Follow wire” mode.

SETUP OF THE ROBOT’S QUICK RE-ENTRY TO THE CHARGING STATION
Quick re-entry requires a special installation of the perimeter wire that allows the robot to reduce the re-entry path to the charging station. This special installation of the perimeter wire should only be used for gardens where quick re-entry signicantly reduces
the path and where the perimeter length is greater than 200 meters.
To setup the quick re-entry, position the perimeter wire on the ground so that it forms a triangle with one side of 50 cm (19.7 ") and the other two sides of 40 cm (15.75 ") each, as shown in the gure.
As the robot heads back to the charging station with the two wheels on either side of the wire, it intercepts this triangle and stops moving. It then turns approximately 90° towards the inside of the garden and starts moving in the new direction until running into
the perimeter wire on the opposite side.
Arrange the wire for quick re-entry in a point where there is at least 200 cm (78.74 ") of straight wire in front of the station, and at least 150 cm (59.05 ") of straight wire behind it.
Do not set up the wire along the straight section immediately in front of the charging station or near any obstacles. Make sure there are no obstacles along the re-entry path that may obstruct the quick re-entry.
Do not set up the wire along excessive slope, so that the robot can recognizes easy it.The maximum slope depends on the lawn conditions. it should be remain under approximately 20%.
Important
An incorrect setup of the robot’s quick re-entry may prevent the robot from returning to the charging station quickly. When the robot travels along the perimeter to reach a secondary area, it may not detect the quick re-entry setup.
The illustration provides some useful tips on how to correctly setup the robot for a quick re-entry.

holes, stones or other obstacles. If necessary, prepare the lawn by lling in any holes and removing any obstacles. If some obstacles cannot be removed, it is necessary to properly mark these areas with the perimeter wire.
2. The robot can mow surfaces inside the working area with a maximum slope of 45% (45 cm per meter in length) on a regular dry lawn, with no risk of wheels slipping, based on the accessories installed. In the other cases it is necessary to respect the 35% of the slope.
The perimeter wire must be laid on the ground sloping no more
than 20% (20 cm per meter in length), being in mind that the robot requires greater grip during the return to the charging station. Therefore, it necessary to check carefully the lawn conditions and to respect the limits. If the perimeter wire is laid on the sloping more than 20%, the robot may depart from it, to move more easily, not being able to overcome narrow passages and to recognize the quick re-entry set up. The slope must not increase at least 35cm inside or outside
the perimeter wire.
If these instructions should not be complied with, while the robot is working on sloping areas and detects the wire, its wheels could slip and make it leave the working area.
EN
If there are any obstacles on slopes that are closed to the abovementioned limits, the ground must be uniformed for at least 35cm in the part uphill of the obstacle to reduce the slope.
Important
Areas with slopes greater than those allowed cannot be mowed with the robot. Therefore, position the perimeter wire in front of the slope so that it is excluded from the area to mow.

Marking the boundary of the work area
3. Check the entire lawn surface and assess whether it is
necessary to divide it into separate work areas as per the rules described here below. Before installing the perimeter wire, check the entire path to make this procedure easier. The illustration shows a lawn with the track for installation of the
perimeter wire.
During installation, identify any secondary areas and closed areas. A secondary area is part of a lawn connected to the primary lawn with a passage that is difcult to reach by the robot's normal movement. The area must be reachable without any rises or drops greater than those allowed. Whether a zone is to be dened a “secondary area” also depends on the size of the primary area. The larger the primary area, the harder it will be to reach narrow passages. More generally, a passage narrower than 200 cm (78.74 ") is considered a secondary area. The number of secondary areas managed depends on the characteristics of the model (See “Technical Specications”).
The minimum passage allowed is 70 cm (27.56 ") from each edge of the perimeter wire. The perimeter wire must be
positioned at a distance of (to be indicated below) from any objects outside the lawn; therefore, the necessary space for
passing must be 140 cm (55.12 ") if there is a wall or hedge on both sides.
If this passage is very long, the width should be more than
cm
(27.56 ") between perimeter wires.
70
During programming, it is necessary to congure the size of the areas and the quickest direction to reach them (clockwise or counter-clockwise), as well as the number of meters of wire needed to reach the secondary area.
If the aforesaid minimum requirements are not met i.e. an area separated by a rise or drop with characteristics that cannot be managed by the robot or a passage (corridor) narrower than 70 cm (27.56 ") from perimeter edge to perimeter edge, then this area of the lawn is considered a “Closed Area.” To mark a “Closed Area” lay the outgoing and incoming perimeter wire in the same track at a maximum distance of 1 cm (0.40 "). In this case, the robot is unable to reach the area autonomously, and must be managed as described in the chapter “Management of Closed Areas.” The management of “Closed Areas” reduces the square meters that can be managed autonomously by the
robot.

wire at a distance of 5 cm (1.96 ") from the edge of the pavement. The robot will come out slightly from the lawn and all the grass will be mowed. If the pavement is made of metal or if there is a metal manhole cover, shower plate or electrical wires, lay the perimeter wire at least 30 cm (11.81 ") from the metal object in order to prevent malfunction of the robot and disturbances on the perimeter wire.
Important
The illustration shows an example of the elements inside and on the perimeter of the work area and the distances to follow for the correct laying of the perimeter wire. Mark the boundary of elements in iron or other metals (drain covers, electric connections, etc.) to prevent any interferences to the signal of the perimeter wire.
EN
If an obstacle is present inside or outside the work area, such as a kerb or wall, lay the perimeter wire at least 35 cm (13.78") from the obstacle. Increase the distance between the perimeter wire and the obstacle; if you don’t want the robot to hit the obstacle, place the perimeter wire at least 40 cm (15.75") away from it. Any grass close to the edge and outside the dened work area can be cut with a grass trimmer or brushcutter.
If a ower bed, hedge, plant with protruding roots, small ditch of 2-3 cm or small kerb of 2-3 cm is present inside or outside the work area, lay the perimeter wire at least 30 cm (11.81 ") from the obstacle to prevent damage being done to the robot or the obstacle. Any grass present inside the work area can be cut and nished with a grass trimmer or brushcutter.

If there is a pool, pond, ravine, ditch, steps or public roads not protected by an easily crossable fence or wall inside or outside the work area, install the perimeter wire at least 90 cm (35.43 inches) from the edge. In order to install the perimeter wire as close as possible to the edge of the cutting area, we recommend installing a fence that is difcult to cross if adjacent to public areas, or a fence at least 15 cm high in other cases. This will allow laying the perimeter wire at the distances described in the previous
paragraphs.
Important
Carefully follow the distances and slopes specied in the booklet to guarantee excellent installation and
proper functioning of the robot. Increase the distance by at least 30 cm (11.81 ") in the presence of slopes or slippery ground.
Obstacles resistant to knocks, such as trees, bushes or poles without sharp edges present inside the work area do not need to be delimited. The robot hits the obstacle and changes direction. If you don’t want the robot to knock into the obstacles and for its safe and silent operation, all the xed obstacles need to be delimited. Slightly sloping obstacles such as ower pots, stones or trees with protruding roots must be delimited to protect the cutting blade and the obstacles themselves. To mark the boundary of the obstacle, start from the outside point of the perimeter nearest the object to delimit, arrange the perimeter wire so that it reaches the obstacle, goes around it and then travels back along the previous path, observing the regular distances described in the previous paragraphs. Overlap the outgoing wire and the incoming wire so that they pass under the same peg, this will allow the robot to go past the perimeter wire. For the robot to function correctly, the minimum overlapping length should not be greater than 70 cm (27.56 ") in order to allow
the robot to move regularly.

The perimeter wire can be buried or laid on the ground. If you have a wire layer machine, it is better to bury the wire for greater protection. Otherwise, install the wire on the ground with the pegs provided as described below.
Important
Start laying the perimeter wire from the area where the charging station is installed, leaving a couple of extra meters so that it can be cut down to size when
connecting to the power unit during the nal phase.
Ground wire
Cut the grass as low as possible with a grass trimmer or brushcutter along the entire path where the cable will be laid. This will make it easier to lay the cable in contact with the ground and reduce the risk of the robot damaging the insulation.
1. Position the wire in a clockwise direction along the entire path and secure it with the pegs supplied, making sure there is a maximum distance of around 100 cm (39.37 inches) between each peg. The wire must be in contact with the ground to prevent it from being damaged by the robot before the grass covers it.

Important
To get the best out of the robot, it is recommended to
-
program the robot to work every day.
If several working areas need to be set, it is recommended
-
to program at least two working schedules in order to increase the cutting frequency in the areas.
Three different working proles can be set for using at specic times. This is particularly useful when you want to use the garden at a different time than
usual.
The last prole set remains highlighted in a different colour and will be active during the automatic operation of the robot.
Press the

.
For each working schedule (T1,T2,T3,T4) set the start time, end time and the
mowing areas.
Times T1,T2,T3,and T4 must not overlap, the robot will delete
any conicting times.
“Edge cutting”. This function enables the robot to start working by cutting along the edge of the lawn. This function should be activated at least twice a week.
For example, if you set:
T1: 09:00 - 11:00, A1, A2, A3, A4 T2: 15:00 - 17:00, A1, A2
The robot operating between the hours 15:00-17:00 will perform the mowing cycle only in the A1 or A2 working area.
The robot can enter areas A3 and A4 when it has to reach a
working area, return to the charging station or work randomly.
The setting of the time is essential for the robot’s proper functioning. Many parameters inuence the setting of the working schedules, such as the number of areas, capacity of the batteries, complexity of the lawn, type of grass, etc. Generally, the working hours must be increased slightly when mowing gardens with more than one area, and gardens with lots of obstacles and complicated areas. Below is a table with the indicative times for conguring the robot on rst use.

OPERATING TIPS
EN
Below are some useful operating tips to follow when using the robot:
even after being suitably informed on the use of the robot, it is always a good idea to simulate some test manoeuvres on rst
-
use to identify the commands and main functions;
check and secure the fastening screws of the main components;
-
mow the lawn frequently to avoid excessive growth of the grass;
-
do not use the robot to mow grass which is 1 cm (0.40 ") higher than the cutting blade. In case of high grass, lift the cutting
-
blade and then lower it gradually on the following days;
if the lawn is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system, program the robot to return to the charging system at least one
-
hour before the sprinklers are turned on;
check the slope of the ground and make sure the maximum values allowed are not exceeded in order to prevent damage to
-
the robot and the sprinklers;
it is recommended to program the robot so that it does not work more than is necessary, also taking into consideration the
-
different growth rates of the grass in different seasons, so as not to subject it to unnecessary deterioration and reduction of
the battery life;
when using the robot, make sure the work area is clear of people (in particular, children, the elderly or disabled people) and
-
pets in order to prevent safety risks. To minimise the chance of injury, program the robot so that it operates at suitable times
of the day.
The manufacturer does not guarantee complete compatibility between the robotic mower and other types of wireless systems, such as remote controls, radio transmitters, acoustic aids, underground electric fences for animals or the like.
