5.1 How does my MissionTM know what to mow?
Congratulations on your new purchase of MissionTM and welcome to the care-free life of automatic mowing. In the following, we would like to help you better understand how your MissionTM thinks.
5. Understanding Your Mission
TM
A
Page 11
11
EN
Your Mission
TM
is capable of doing things on its own. MissionTM knows when it needs to go to its charging base to charge, can sense when it is raining, can stop itself if it senses a problem, and knows to stop, draw back, and turn around when it bumps into something blocking its path. MissionTM will also automatically stop its blade turning disc from rotating if it is lifted off the ground to prevent an accident.
A. Finding the charging base
When your MissionTM needs to recharge, it will stop mowing and follow the boundary wire in an anti-clockwise direction back to its Charging Base. MissionTM is pre-programmed to mow the grass near the boundary wire once a week. By default, Mission
TM
will mow near the boundary wire every Monday of its system time. If you don’t want to enable boundary cut, deactivate it via your smartphone or by the control panel in “Work Time - Customize work time - Monday”.
B. Rain sensors
MissionTM is equipped with a rain sensor which detects rain and tells Mission
TM
to stop mowing and follow the
boundary wire back to its charging base (See Fig. B).
MissionTM will resume mowing after passing the Delay Time. the default Delay time is 180mins. Delay time setting can be changed via MissionTM APP or by the control panel in “General settings - Rain start delay”. When the rain sensors are wet, MissionTM returns to its charging base. When the rain sensors dry, MissionTM will begin the delay time countdown or return to mowing (depending on the saved settings). If you want to exit from the rain delay, dry the sensor area, and perform a power cycle by operating the ON/OFF key. After the power cycle has been performed you can operate again.
NOTE: If the delay time is set to 0, MissionTM will continue mowing.
C. Sensing the boundary wire
Mission
TM
always obeys the border set by the boundary wire and uses sensors at its front to detect it. (See Fig.
C)
D. Starting and stopping while mowing (See Fig. D, E1, E2)
If you would like MissionTM to stop mowing, simply press the STOP button on top of the mower. To start mowing, press the ON/OFF key and input the PIN code. Press , then press . If Mission
TM
senses something is wrong, it will display a fault message on the display. For information on these messages, refer to the Error Messages. MissionTM will turn off if it does not receive any input from the user within 20 min.
To resume:
• Press the ON/OFF Key to OFF
• Correct the problem (refer to Error Messages)
• Press the ON/OFF Key to ON
• Press , then press
• Now the MissionTM will begin to mow!
5.2 How does my MissionTM know where to go?
Page 12

5.3 Cut to edge
Off-centered blade turning disc design provides a clean cut with narrowest distance to the boundary or wall. It helps minimize the amount and frequency of manual trimming along the boundary. Additionally, MissionTM is designed with a protective cover underneath that prevents objects from touching the turning blades and/or injury. (See Fig. F)
5.4 How efficiently will my MissionTM mow the grass?
Mowing times are different for every lawn depending on the factors mentioned below. Gradually adjust the time you allow MissionTM to mow each day until you find the most suitable setting.
Your MissionTM is capable of mowing areas of different sizes, although this depends on various factors, such as:
• Species of grass in your lawn and its growth rate
• Sharpness of the cutting blades
• Humidity
• Surrounding temperature
• Amount of obstacles in your Lawn Unlike most other mowers, MissionTM uses a side charging system, which is able to cut the much surrounding grass as possible. The holes on the bottom of the charging base allow the grass to grow through the base to help disguise it and create an elegant appearance.
MissionTM’s cutting height can be adjusted between 3cm-6cm. Before starting your Mission
TM
for the first time,
you should cut the grass to the height no more than 9 cm. Then, set the cutting height to its maximum setting,
Page 13
13
EN
6cm. (See Fig. G)
Your MissionTM will cut its best in dry weather. Wet grass can build up on the blade turning disc and within the motor, and can also cause loose traction and slippage while working.
Your MissionTM is afraid of lightening storms. In case of a lightning storm, protect MissionTM by unplugging the charging base, disconnecting the boundary wire, and making sure MissionTM is not allowed to charge.
Your MissionTM loves mowing grass and requires the cutting blades to be kept in good condition to cut at its best. MissionTM can do most things by itself, but will sometimes need your help to prevent damage to itself.
• Never let MissionTM travel over gravel.
• Remove or prevent access to obstacles that Mission
TM
could accidentally climb on and damage its blade
turning disc.
• Remove all debris and foreign objects from your lawn.
6. App
Your MissionTM is able to connect with smartphone. Using MissionTM App for your smartphone, you can change your MissionTM's general settings, and view the machine's status and error messages. To connect smartphone to your MissionTM: Step 1: To download the MissionTM App, use your smartphone to scan the QR code below or download it from Playstore (Google-Android), AppleStore (Apple-iOS) or our website www.kress-robotik.com. Step 2: Enter the MissionTM APP, and then follow the instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi. *The Serial No. can be found at the rear of MissionTM as shown in Fig. H.
Only suitable for
iOS 11.0 or higher
NOTE:
1. If your Wi-Fi information changes, MissionTM needs to be re-set according to Step 1 to 2.
2. When MissionTM is located in an area with low or no Wi-Fi signal, instructions sent from the mobile App may not be executed immediately. MissionTM will receive instructions when it returns to an area with good Wi-Fi signal.
3. For strong Wi-Fi signal to ensure stable connection, it is recommended to install Wi-Fi extenders to cover areas with weak or no Wi-Fi signal.

7. Boundary wire basics
7.1 Pegging the boundary wire
Use the boundary wire distance gauge to set the correct distance between the wire and the border of your lawn (more than 26cm*). * This is the recommended distance. The provided distance gauge ensures proper installation. If your neighbor also uses a MissionTM, keep a spacing of at least 1 metre between your boundary wire and your neighbor’s.
The boundary wire must outline the intended mowing area exactly. Your MissionTM will become
confused by extra bends or coils of boundary wire that are not part of its mowing area (See Fig. I). If there is excess boundary wire after the mowing area has been outlined, cut it off and store this additional wire in a separate location. It is important to leave the necessary length where it connects to the charging base so it can be connected and still remain buried.
7.2 Burying the boundary wire
If you are planning to bury the boundary wire, it is recommended to first peg it down. This allows you to easily change the layout if necessary before burying the wire. When the boundary wire installation is complete, have MissionTM follow and check the path by pressing and . This will allow MissionTM to adjust to its new environment. While observing MissionTM you can easily make alterations to the boundary wire to ensure MissionTM's trouble-free tracking when locating the charging station. Confirm that MissionTM docks in the charging station successfully, and bury the wire if desired.
7.3 Joining the boundary wire
If you want to extend and splice the boundary wire, use a connector. The connector is waterproof and provides optimal connection. Insert both wire ends in any two of the three holes of the connector. Insert the wires fully until both wire ends are visible on the other side of the connector. (See Fig. J1) Press the connector together by using a pair of pliers. (See Fig. J2, J3)
WARNING: It is not recommended to simply splice the boundary wire with insulating tape or use a screw terminal block for connection. A broken circuit may occur after a period of time as soil moisture can
oxidize the wire.

9. Maintenance
Your Mission™ works hard and needs to be cleaned and checked from time to time. Some parts will require replacement as they become worn. Never use your Mission™ with defective on/off switch. Switch off the machine before carrying out any service or maintenance. Here's how to take care of your Mission™.
9.1 Keep it Sharp
WARNING: Before cleaning, adjusting, or replacing the blades, turn your Mission™ OFF
and put on protective gloves.
WARNING: When fitting new blades, make sure
you replace ALL the blades. Always use new screws when fitting blades. This is important to ensure blade retention and balance the blade turning disc. Failure to use new screws could cause serious injury.
The Mission™ does not cut grass like other mowers. Its cutting blades are razor sharp on 2 edges and rotate in both directions for maximum cutting capacity (See Fig. L). Each blade of your Mission™ has 2 cutting edges. The blade turning disc will make forward and reverse rotation at random to use both cutting edges and minimize the frequency of replacing the blades. Each cutting blade will last up to 2 months when it is programmed to mow every day. Always check to see if the blades
1
2
Page 16
16
EN
are chipped or damaged and replace them if they are. When the cutting blades are dull and worn out, they should be replaced with the spare blades provided with your Mission™. Spare blades are also available at your nearest Kress retailer.
A. Replace the Blades
After some time, usually every season, your Mission™’s blades will need to be replaced. When replacing the blades, make sure to replace all of them at the same time. You can replace them with one of the spare blade kits and extra blade screws supplied with your Mission™. Before attempting to replace your Mission™’s blades, turn the power off and put on protective gloves and follow these steps:
1. Gently flip the Mission™ over.
2. Remove the battery cover and remove the battery.
3. Take the screws off the blades with a screwdriver.
(See Fig. M)
4. Firmly screw on the new blades.
5. Refit the battery and the battery cover.
Important: After screwing the blade to the blade disc, make sure the blade is able to spin freely.
9.2 Keep it Clean
WARNING:
Before cleaning, turn your Mission™ OFF. Put on protective gloves before cleaning
the blade turning disc and do not rinse or flush with water.
A. Cleaning the Body
Your Mission™ will live a much happier and longer life if it is cleaned regularly. Since your Mission™ is an electric machine, you will need to take care when cleaning. DO NOT use a hose, high pressure washers or otherwise pour running water on your Mission™. It is best to use a spray bottle filled with water. When cleaning the machine body, use a soft brush or clean cloth and avoid using solvents or polishes (See Fig. N). Lastly, remove all build up of grass clippings and debris.
B. Cleaning the Underside Again, it is important that you power the Mission™ OFF and wear protective gloves before touching the blade turning disc.
First, flip your Mission™ upside down to expose its underside. Here you will see the blade disc, the chassis, and the front wheel and driving wheels. Clean everything thoroughly with a soft brush or moist rag.
WARNING: NEVER clean the underside of Mission™ with running water.
Component damage
can occur.(See Fig. O1, O2) Rotate the blade disc to ensure it rotates freely. Check the blades spin freely around the fixing screws. Remove any obstructions.
IMPORTANT: Remove any lodged debris so that it does not cause a crack in the blade disc. Even the tiniest crack can decrease your Mission™'s mowing output.

C. Clean the contact pins and the charging strips
Clean the contact pins located on the charging base and the charging strips located on Mission™ using a cloth. Remove any built up grass clippings or debris around the contact pins and charge strips periodically to ensure Mission™ successfully charges each time.
9.3 Battery Life
The heart of the Mission™ is its 20V Li-Ion Battery. For proper storage of the battery, make sure it is fully charged and kept in a cool dry place between (-20°C~60°C). NOTE: The recommend Mission™ operation temperature is between 0-55°C. The life-span of Mission™’s battery depends on various factors, such as:
• The length of the mowing season in your region
• Amount of hours Mission™ mows per day
• Battery maintenance during storage
Mission™ can be charged manually without the boundary wire.
1. Connect the charging base to a suitable power
supply. The green light on the charging base will turn on.
2. Manually dock Mission™ into the charging base
while Mission™ is powered off.(See Fig. P)
3. The green light on the charging base will turn to
red. Mission™ will begin to charge.
9.4 Winter Hibernation
Your Mission™ will live longer and healthier if it is allowed to hibernate. So even though it is tough, we recommend storing your Mission™ in your shed or garage during the winter. Before you prepare your Mission™ for winter hibernation, we recommend you:
• Thoroughly clean your Mission™
• Fully charge the battery
• Turn the power off To maximize the battery life, fully charge the battery before storage during winter.
WARNING: Protect the underside of Mission™ from water. NEVER store Mission™ upside
down outdoors.
The boundary wire can be left in the ground although its ends should be protected, such as placed in a tin can with grease. If the charging base is left outside for the winter, leave the boundary wire connected. NOTE: When bringing Mission™ back to work after winter hibernation, make sure the charging strips and contact pins are clean. We recommend using a fine grade emery cloth to clean the contacts. Using the app, make sure the date and time are correct and send Mission™ back to what it loves doing: mowing.
