ADJ U ST T HE MOWE R TO S UIT YOU R G ARD E N
See chapters 6.4 and 6.5 in the Operator’s Manual.
Here you will nd a few tips about important settings for your Automower®. All settings for Automower® are made using the menu functions.
ADJUST THE MOWER TO SUIT THE SIZE OF YOUR LAWN
The mowing results depend on mowing time. Adjust the mowing time to suit your garden using the Timer function.
If the mower works too often: The lawn will appear trampled down. If the mower works too seldom: The lawn will not be properly cut.
ADJUST THE MOWER FOR NARROW PASSAGES
Narrow passages in the garden make it difcult for the mower to nd the charging station. Test to see if the mower nds its way home using the Test IN function.
1. Look for the narrowest passage in the garden (between the boundary loops).
2. Place the mower beyond the passage, with its front facing the boundary loop.
3. Activate the Test IN function (Garden - Follow loop - Test IN) and start the mower.
4. Ensure that the mower follows the boundary loop through the passage.
a. If the mower travels through: The test is complete. a. If the mower does not travel through: Lower the value
of the Corridor width, boundary by 1 unit. Restart the test from point 2.
TIMER
You decide what times of the day and days of the week the mower is to work. Automower If your garden consists of 3,000 m² / 0.75 acre of grass, the mower should work, on average, 12 hours per day.
SMS
For increased control of Automower® there is an SMS function that enables the mower to communicate with its user (See chapter 6.6 in the Operator’s Manual).

CORRIDOR WIDTH , BOUN DARY
Settings Corridor width, boundary (Garden- Follow loop - Corridor width - Corridor width, bound.) denes the distance bet ween the mower’s path to the boundary
wire or the guide wire when following these to/from the charging station. The wider the stated Corridor width, the further from the loop the mower can travel. This produces less wheel tracks than if the mower were to travel close to the loop.
GUI DE WIRE
See chapter 3.8 Installation of the guide wire in the Operator’s Manual.
If you have a complicated garden or it has narrow passages (less than 2 m / 7 ft), we recommend installing a guide wire.

The guide wire is an extra wire that is run from the charging station, out towards a remote part of the work area or through a narrow passage. The mower can follow the guide wire to and from the charging station.
