1. FOR YOUR PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE SAFETY

The Belrobotics

robot lawnmower is designed with user safety in mind. For example, the
cutting heads are covered by a special patent. If the lawnmower comes into contact with an
object, the heads retract automatically. This is one of the major advantages of the mower.

In addition, the mower can detect people or objects in the vicinity through its sonar system,
causing it to slow down instantly. If it comes into contact with an obstacle, it stops and
automatically changes direction.

Lifting sensors immediately stop the rotation of the cutting heads if the robot is raised while
in use.

Unlike traditional garden maintenance robots, the Belrobotics robot is a quiet and safe way
of maintaining your lawn. Nonetheless, you are advised to take certain precautions when
using the robot.

A. SAFETY OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE PEOPLE

- This appliance is not designed for use by children, people with physical, sensory or

mental disabilities, or anyone with a lack of experience and understanding of the
appliance, as their use of the appliance may put them at risk if left unsupervised or
without the guidance of a responsible adult who can instruct them and ensure that
the appliance is being used safely.

- Do not let children play with the robot or charging station.

- Keep children and animals at a safe distance from the robot when in use.

- Do not let children clean or perform maintenance works on the robot or charging

station unsupervised.

B. BEFORE USING YOUR ROBOT

- Read through this instruction manual carefully from start to finish.

- Make sure that physical barriers are in place where needed (access to a road,

swimming pool, pond etc.).

- Make sure that there are no objects lying on the lawn (toys, branches etc.).

- If you have automatic sprinklers on your lawn, programme your robot to return to the

charging station at least one hour before the sprinkler system is activated.

- Several people will be needed to transport/handle the robot.

C. USING YOUR ROBOT

- Even when you have read and fully understand the instructions for using the robot, you

are nonetheless advised to carry out some trial manoeuvres the first time you switch
on the robot to make sure you know exactly where the controls and main options are
located.

- Warning: never put your hands or feet underneath the robot when it is switched on,

especially in the area in front of the wheels.

- Switch the robot off safely and wait until the movement of the cutting heads has come

to a complete halt before lifting, moving or otherwise handling the robot.

- Never leave the robot on a slope.

4

BBEELLRROOBBOOTTIICCSS

These measures are crucial to ensuring your safety. However, the aforementioned
recommendations are not exhaustive: use your robot with care at all times.

- Never connect external electrical parts to the battery cable.

- Never remove the batteries from the robot to charge them: always use the charging

station.

- Never use other methods to charge the batteries (e.g. car battery chargers etc.).

These measures are vital to ensure the batteries function correctly and to keep your
warranty.

D. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

- Carry out maintenance on your robot as per the instructions: regular maintenance will

keep your robot in top condition, optimise its performance and extend its life.

- Disconnect the electricity supply before carrying out any maintenance work on the

charging station.

- Always make sure the robot’s main switch is in the OFF position before carrying out any

maintenance work on the robot.

- Check the tightness of the screws joining the main parts together on a regular basis.

- Your robot is an electrical appliance: never clean it with water.

- Wear protective gloves when carrying out maintenance work on the cutting heads.

- Always replace old parts with spare parts supplied by Belrobotics in order to maintain

the same level of effectiveness and safety.

Failure to adhere to these recommendations may result in damage to your robot or even
place you at risk of serious injury.

E. LIABILITY

- Belrobotics refuses all liability in cases where the robot is used in a way which is not

in accordance with the instructions provided.

- Do not modify your robot without prior agreement from Belrobotics. Any

unauthorised modification could render your robot dangerous and could lead to
serious injury when used.

- In addition to the risk to the user, the use of “generic” spare parts renders the

warranty null and void in the case of any damages which may occur as a result.

Belrobotics refuses all liability in case of accidents caused by the use of a “generic” spare
part.

3. DESCRIPTION

A. OVERVIEW

The Belrobotics robot is a fully automatic lawnmower. It can be used to maintain up to 2
hectares of lawn, providing the owner with a consistent and independent method of
maintaining their lawn.

The robot works independently in its mowing area, which is marked out by a boundary wire
buried underground. It moves in a random manner, adapting to its surroundings using its
sonar system and various other sensors to avoid obstacles. When the batteries need
recharging, the robot automatically returns to the charging station.

The robot has several sensors which optimise safety in case of user error.

It is also equipped with advanced technology. The electronic and computer systems process
the data recorded by the numerous sensors in real time, allowing the robot to run at
optimum level in all situations.

5. GUIDE TO USE

A. MOWING MODE

The Belrobotics robot uses a “random” mowing method. The random mode means that it
chooses its route in an unsystematic manner. When it comes across an obstacle or the
boundary wire, the onboard computer selects a new direction. Thus, the route and the
directions the robot takes will be different every time. By the end of the process, every
square metre of the lawn will have been mown. In areas where the lawn is denser, the robot
will automatically adapt its mowing mode by slowing down or mowing one square at a time.

When the batteries need to be recharged, the robot follows the boundary wire to its
charging station. After the batteries have been fully recharged, it automatically continues
the process.

If the lawn does not need to be mown, the robot detects this and waits at its charging
station for an extended period. It then starts mowing again at a later date. It only mows
when necessary.

B. MOWING HEIGHT

I. How to set the mowing height

The mowing height can be set between ‘x’ mm and ‘y’ mm (see table on page 11) by setting
intermediary fixed values.

C. SAFETY SENSORS

The robot is equipped with a sonar system and several collision sensors, meaning that it can
slow down and change direction when it comes across an obstacle at least 50cm high and
10cm wide.

It is also equipped with a system which instantly stops the rotation of the cutting heads if it
detects it is being lifted.

a. Raise the hood

b. Lift the adjustment
valve

c. Slide along the
adjustment rod to the
desired height.

13

BBEELLRROOBBOOTTIICCSS

I. How often to adjust mowing height

When using the robot for the first time or after being switched off for several days, the grass
may be too dense or too high. At this point you are advised to increase the mowing height
for a few days before gradually reducing it again (one notch every 2 days).

If the grass height is irregular, the Belrobotics robot will mow the higher patches of grass
more slowly (leading to a better result). If the cutting resistance is too high, the robot will
mow one square at a time.

6. INITIAL SETUP

A. BATTERIES

The batteries of the Belrobotics robot should be sufficiently charged to allow your
authorised Belrobotics dealer to carry out the initial setup tests.
Once these tests have been completed, it is recommended that you send your robot back to
the station to fully charge before it starts to maintain your land.

B. SETTINGS & OPTIONS

When the robot leaves the factory it is set to default settings and options. Some of the
settings and options must be adjusted before you switch on your robot for the first time,
such as user language, the number of metres of boundary wire, the direction of return to the
station, rest ranges etc. By adjusting these options and settings correctly, your robot will be
able to provide optimum performance in accordance with the characteristics of the area you
wish to maintain.

Please ask your authorised Belrobotics dealer to help you configure your robot. You can also
consult the “Instructions for use” chapter.

8. SERVICE

To optimise the lifespan of your robot, we advise two service operations per year: a minor
maintenance check-up halfway through the year and a major check-up in winter.

A. BATTERIES

Belrobotics robot lawnmowers are equipped with the latest generation Li-Ion batteries. Their
capacities differ depending on the model of robot.

The battery lifespan is optimised when the robot is allowed to function automatically. Users
must therefore leave the robot to manage its own work cycles independently as often as
possible.

If the work cycles are unusually short, contact your supplier to check the condition of the
batteries.

B. CLEANING

A clean and well-maintained machine will always last longer. You are advised to clean your
robot weekly. Simply brush the underside of the robot and remove any grass blockages from
around the front and back wheels and the cutting heads as necessary.

Do not use a hosepipe or high pressure cleaning device.

C. CHARGING PORTS

The charging ports, both on the robot and on the station, are important parts as they ensure
that the batteries can be charged.

It is therefore highly advisable to clean the charging ports on the robot and the station with
sandpaper with a grit size of at least P180:

- during the mid-year check-up

- during the maintenance check-up at the start of the year

- if any problems with charging are observed.

Users are not at risk when carrying out this maintenance work as the robot and station
operate on Safety Extra Low Voltage level.

D. WINTER STORAGE

At the end of the mowing season, recharge your robot before storing it in a dry, sheltered
place away from freezing temperatures.

The main switch MUST remain in the OFF position throughout the winter storage period,
in order to protect the batteries from potential damage.

You are advised to switch off the outdoor electricity supply to the charging station (mains
plug, switchboard etc.) throughout the winter storage period.

E. CUTTING HEADS

The cutting heads are the main determiners of the mowing result. You are advised to check
them at least once a month and replace them when they are worn out. It is advisable to
change them at the beginning of the season and during the month of June.

Use the following procedure for changing the cutting heads:

1. Make sure the machine is switched OFF and wear protective gloves.

2. Lift the robot.

3. Place the disk opening opposite the top of the screw attaching the cutting head.

4. Unscrew the cutting head.

5. Remove the new part from its packaging.

6. Insert the new cutting head and screw it in.

If you have any doubts about this process or attaching one of your cutting heads, please
contact your supplier.

9. INSTALLATION

The installation of the boundary wire and the charging station are essential to ensuring your
robot can work effectively.

Furthermore, the electrical installation (connecting the charging station to the electricity
supply) must be carried out by a professional.

It is therefore highly recommended that an authorised professional carry out the
installation process from start to finish.
