TECHNICAL INFORMATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is a robot designed and built to automatically cut grass in gardens and lawns at any time of the day. It is small, compact, silent, waterproof and easy to transport in relation to the various characteristics of the surfaces to mow. During operation, the robot mows the area delimited by paving and/or barriers (fences, walls, etc.). When the robot detects that there is no grass or encounters an obstacle, it changes route in a random manner and starts mowing again in the new direction. Based on its operating principle (“random”), the robot automatically mows the entire delimited area of the lawn (see fi gure). The maximum lawn surface that the robot can mow depends on a series of factors, such as:
• the characteristics of the area (irregular perimeters, uneven surfaces, divided areas, etc.)
• the characteristics of the lawn (type and height of the grass, humidity, etc.)
• the conditions of the blade (level of sharpness, without residuals and encrustations, etc.)
• the model of the robot and type of batteries installed
The L50EU model is equipped with a lithium battery, which guarantees longer duration and allows mowing surfaces of up to 400 m² (4300 sq ft).

SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY REGULATIONS
During the design and construction, the Manufacturer carefully considered the personal • health and safety risks of those interacting with the robot. In addition to respecting the applicable current laws, the Manufacturer adopted all the “regulations of good manufacturing techniques”. The purpose of this information is to advise users on placing special attention to prevent risks. However, prudence and caution is irreplaceable. Safety is also in the hands of operators who interact with the appliance.
When using the robot for the fi rst time, it is recommended to carefully read the entire • manual and to fully understand it, especially the safety information.
Carefully read the instructions in this manual and those that apply directly to the machine, • especially the safety information. Carefully study this manual to prevent regrettable accidents. It is always too late to remember what you should have done after the fact.
Lift and move the robot according to the information reported directly on the packaging, on • the appliance and in the user instructions provided by the Manufacturer.
Pay attention to the symbols that appear on the rating plates; their shape and colour are • important for safety purposes. Keep them legible and follow the instructions.
The lawn mower can only be used by people who know how to operate it and who have read • and understood the instructions in this manual.
Only use the robot for the intended purposes specifi ed by the manufacturer. Improper use of • the robot may lead to personal health and safety risks and economic losses.
Before using the lawn mower , make sure that there ar e no objects on the lawn (toys, branches, • clothing items, etc.).
When using the robot, make sure the work area is clear of people (in particular, children, the • elderly or disabled people) and domestic animals to prevent safety risks. To prevent this risk, it is recommended to programme the production activity of the robot in suitable times.
Never allow people to sit on the robot.• Never lift the robot to inspect the blade during operation.• Do not place hands and feet under the robot when it is on and moving, especially in the wheel
zone. Do not tamper with, sidestep, eliminate or bypass the safety devices installed.
The non-observance of this requirement may cause serious personal health and safety
risks. Keep the lawn mower in conditions of maximum effi ciency by carrying out the maintenance
operations provided for by the Manufacturer. Good maintenance will allow obtaining the best performances and longer operating times.
Before carrying out any maintenance and adjustments, which can also be executed by a user • with minimal technical competence, disconnect the electric power supply.
The user must ensure that all the necessary safety conditions are in place, especially when
working on the lower part of the lawn mower, following the Manufacturer’s procedures.
User’s manual
10
Use the personal protection devices provided for by the Manufacturer, in particular, always • wear gloves when working on the blades and cutting disc.
Before replacing the batteries, always disassemble the blade.
Operators who make repairs during the working life of the robot must have the necessary • technical expertise, skill and experience in this specifi c fi eld. The non-observance of these requirements can lead to personal health and safety risks.
The Manufacturing company shall not be held liable if non-original spare parts are used.• Replace worn parts with original spare parts to guarantee the functionality and safety level.• Do not use the robot on too wet grass or when it is raining.
Do not use the robot in explosive and infl ammable environments.
ROBOT SAFETY DEVICES
Lift sensor1.
In the event that the robot is lifted from the ground, the blade will stop rotating in less than two seconds.
Bumpers2.
The bumper sensor is activated when the mower strikes a solid object, which will stop the movement in that direction and reverse itself away from the obstacle.
Inclinometer3.
If the robot works on a slope which is steeper than the maximum limit, or tips over, the robot will stop the movement in that direction and reverse to avoid the slope.
Emergency stop switch4.
Located on the top outer surface of the robot, red in colour. Pressing this button at any time during operation will stop immediately all mower movements and stop the rotation of the blades within two seconds (< 2 seconds).
Over-current protection5.
Each of the motors (blade and wheels) are monitored continuously during operation for any situation that may cause these motors 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 motor overheats, then there are two types of intervention. If the parameters fall within the fi rst range, the robot will carry out the manoeuvre to unblock the cutting blade. If the over-current is below the protection range, the robot will stop and signal a motor error.

PREPARATION AND DEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE WORK AREAS
Preparation of the lawn to mow
Make sure that the lawn to mow is even and does not contain holes, stones or other obstacles. 1. Otherwise, prepare the lawn by fi lling in any holes and removing any obstacles. If some obstacles cannot be removed, it is necessary to properly defi ne and protect the interested areas.
Check that all the areas of the lawn do not exceed the allowable slopes (see “Technical 2. Specifi cations”, page 9).
The sensors, which recognise the presence of the grassy surface, allow the robot to move freely inside the lawn. The garden must be suitably checked and adjusted so that the robot has enough space for recognising when there is no grass. Carefully follow the above points for the correct and safe use of the robot.

SLOPES
Check that all the areas of the lawn do not exceed the admissible slopes (see “Technical Specifi cations”, page 9).
Areas with steeper slopes or that are incompatible with the correct functioning of the robot (see following points) cannot be mowed. Steeper slopes must be delimited.
Important
The sensors of the robot allow detecting slopes, which cannot be tackled. The direction is reversed in order to prevent the r obot from tipping over or malfunctioning. Despite this, as a further protection, it is necessary to delimit the areas, which have slopes that cannot be tackled.
It is recommended to check the robot when using for the fi rst time on slopes that are at the limit of the specifi cations.
UPWARD SLOPE

ROBOT STOP
The robot stops automatically if the following conditions are verifi ed:
Lawn mowed: The sensor has detected that the lawn has been mowed and therefore, does
not require further mowing. Recharge the batteries and start the robot again after one or two days based on the growth of the grass.
No grass: The grass-detection sensors have not detected the presence of grass for an extended period.
Discharged batteries: The batteries have used up their operating capacity. Batteries in protection: When the batteries have reached a capacity which is lower than
the level of the discharged batteries, the robot completely turns off without displaying any indication. In this case, connect the robot to the recharger. The robot will not turn on immediately, as normally occurs, but only after a few minutes.

OPERATING TIPS
Below are some instructions which must be followed when using the robot.
Even after being suitably informed on the use of the robot, simulate some test manoeuvres • on fi rst use to identify the commands and main functions.
Check and secure the fastening screws of the main organs.• Mow the lawn frequently to avoid excessive growth of the grass.• Do not use the robot to mow grass which is shorter than 3 cm (1.18 in..) in respect to the
cutting blade. If the lawn is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system, make sure the robot fi nishes its
work cycle at least one hour before the start of the watering to prevent damage to the robot itself and to the sprinklers.
Check the slope of the ground and make sure the maximum values admissible are not • exceeded so that the use of the robot does not cause dangers.
When using the robot, make sure the area to mow is clear of people (in particular, children, the • elderly, or disabled people) and domestic animals to prevent safety risks.
To prevent this risk, it is recommended to program the production activity of the robot in
suitable times. Do not start the robot in case of rain or strong humidity. The best results are obtained in the
middle of the day.
