Welcome
to a friendly home

Congratulations on on your purchase! You are just a few
steps away from meeting your best team player. Very soon
you will come to count on your new friend to do a perfect job.

It will independently depart from its base on predetermined
days and times, mow your lawn and return to base for
charging.

A preinstalled perimeter wire sets the boundaries (a “virtual
wall”) for your mower. It will be laid around the edges of your
lawn and objects that you want to protect.

The mower moves randomly within its working area, as
defined by the perimeter wire. This kind of random movement
provides the perfect cut and ensures complete coverage of
your lawn.

14

In addition, it follows the perimeter wire, when it mows the
edges of your lawn to give it a perfect finish.

Good-looking lawns are achieved by consistent mowing,
which is exactly what a robotic mower provides.

After following the clear installation instructions, you will be
ready to enjoy your free time, while your new friend looks
after your lawn.

15

So where are we headed?

TIPS

• If there are additional zones in your lawn, place the Base
Station within the largest zone

• Make sure the ground is even and flat, and that there are no slopes

• Keep a minimum of 1 meter / 3.3 feet from a sprinkler head
to avoid damaging the mower’s internal components

Consideration B

A min. of 3 m [10 ft] of straight
wire in front of the base and a
min. of 30 cm (1 ft) behind the
base to allow smooth docking

Consideration C

Min. 3m (10 ft )

Min. 30 cm (1 ft )

22

• Have your mower’s package nearby.

• Be sure to cut your grass with your old mower one last time
before you start wiring. This will make inserting pegs easier and
help ensure that the mower doesn’t cut the wire.

TIPS

Soft Obstacles

Soft obstacles are flower beds,
ponds or small trees. They need to
be protected by creating Perimeter
Islands.

OBSTACLES

Now you’re ready to install the Perimeter Wire.
Let’s take it step by step.

... A sunny day and a sunny mood :)

First Things First: Obstacles and Slopes

Before you put a single peg into the ground, take note of any
obstacles or slopes.

23

The slope is too steep if...

The mower tilts off the ground while climbing it. Exclude such
slopes from the cutting area.

SLOPES

Hard Obstacles

Hard obstacles are vertical, rigid
and higher than 15 cm (6 in), such as
trees or telephone poles.

If a Hard Obstacle has a diameter under
10 cm (4 in), it must be protected by a

Perimeter Island. If the diameter is

larger, it’s not necessary.

Slopes along the edge

To ensure your mower doesn’t slip off the lawn, especially
when the grass is wet, the Perimeter Wire must exclude a
slope along the edge of your lawn with an incline of over 15% ­that is, 15 cm rise per 1 m [6 in rise per 3 ft].

TIP

Slopes within the Lawn

Your mower can mow areas within
the lawn with a slope of up to 35%
[35 cm rise per 1 m/14 in rise per 3 ft].

Max 35%

Less than
15 cm / 6 in

Less than 15%

1 m / 3 ft

More than 15%

1 m / 3 ft

More than
15 cm / 6 in

24

Lay it loosely along the perimeter as you walk along the lawn
edge. If you get to any area/object that needs special care,
make sure you carefully lay the Perimeter Wire as described in
the following sections.

Start unwinding the wire counter-clockwise around the lawn,
starting at the Base Station’s location.

Peg

Once a tail is made, put the
first peg into the ground to
secure the end of the wire

Perimeter

Wire

A. Make a Good Start

Before you begin, walk along the edge
of your lawn and plan how to set up the
Perimeter Wire. Take
note of all obstacles
and slopes.

Pull out approx. 30 cm (1 ft) of wire through the hole in the
spool’s plastic covering and peg the beginning of the wire to the
ground where you intend to install your Base Station.

25

• Insert pegs every few meters/feet and at corners. At this
early stage, set a minimal number of pegs. You will insert all
necessary pegs later.

• Pull the wire tight while hammering the pegs to their final
depth in the ground.

•

Take care not to damage irrigation pipes.

TIPS

32 cm (1 ft)

Leave a minimum of 1.2 m (4 ft) if the
edge of the lawn borders water.

When the edge is flat or a drop, use
the short distance of the RoboRuler.

When the edge is a wall (more than
2 cm/ 1” above the ground level), use
the longer distance of the RoboRuler.

40 cm (1.3 ft)

B. Maintain Proper Distance

The Perimeter Wire is secured to
the ground by the pegs supplied
with the product. Use the RoboRuler to
determine the distances you should leave
between the Perimeter Wire and the lawn’s
edge and obstacles.

Min 1.2m

(4ft)

26

Left turns

45˚

• It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire, though you
may do so, up to 5 cm (2 in) deep.

• Burying the wire along exposed areas, such as pavements,
is usually recommended.

•

If additional Perimeter Wire is required in order to complete

the setup, you can extend it using the waterproof Wire
Connectors provided (see section 5-G “Splicing the
Perimeter Wire”).

TIPS

C. Make Smooth Turns

Maintain a 45° angle at all left-turn corners when laying the
wire along the perimeter.

20 cm / 8 in

27

• Wires leading to and from an island should be fastened with
the same peg

• Perimeter Islands should either be rectangular or round

Set the Perimeter
Wire clockwise around
the obstacle, otherwise
the mower will drive
into the Perimeter
Island or won’t be
able to mow the
area around it
properly.

TIPS

D. Protect Soft Obstacles

Objects such as flower beds, ponds, or small trees must be
protected by setting Perimeter Islands.

Keep min. 1.5 m (5 ft) between
islands; if obstacles are closer
together, use one island.

If the distance between an island and the
perimeter wire is lower than 1.5 m (5 ft),
make the obstacle part of lawn’s edge.

G. Charge your mower

Place your mower on the Base Station and let it fully charge
before its first mow (up to 24 hours). Once it is fully charged, it
will depart automatically according to its mowing schedule.

F. Finish Installing the Perimeter Wire

Insert the remaining pegs along the Perimeter Wire, approx.
1 m (3.3 ft) apart.

Hammer the extension cable into the ground so it’s not a
tripping hazard.

• The Area size setting automatically determines the required
mowing time for your lawn - the duration of a “Mowing Cycle”

• The mower usually performs several consecutive mowing
operations until it completes a full Mowing Cycle

• Each mowing operation starts at predetermined times, once
the mower is fully charged

• You can restrict automatic operation at particular times via
the Inactive Time setting

• Once a Mowing Cycle is completed, the mower will stay in the
Base Station until the next cycle begins

• The interval between mowing cycles is defined by the Mowing
Frequency setting

• If required, extra mowing time can be added via the Mowing
Hours setting to improve mowing results.

Tell your mower how often to mow

Mowing Frequency* controls the periodicity of mowing cycles. The
higher the frequency, the more frequently your lawn will be mowed and
vice versa.

Mowing frequencies:

Low - 1 Mowing Cycle per week
Medium - 2 Mowing Cycles per week
High - Lawn is mowed daily

*This option is only available for zones with a Base Station.

To allow better maintenance and to keep your mower in good
condition, it is recommended to take it to a certified dealer for
service prior to winter storage.

Periodic
maintenance

Once a month:

• Inspect the underside of the mower. Clean if necessary.
Carefully scrape the collected grass debris (using a small
stick or similar object) from under the mowing deck.

• Check the Perimeter Wire and add pegs where it is loose
and not tight to the ground. In case of seasonal changes in
the lawn, make sure to adjust the wire accordingly.

• Inspect the Base Station, clean it from mud and debris to
allow proper docking.

WARNING

Severe injury and damage hazard!

Always turn the Safety Switch off before lifting the mower.
Blades are very sharp. They can cause severe cuts or
lacerations. Always wear heavy work gloves when working
with or around the blades. NEVER use a damaged or broken
blade. NEVER sharpen the blade manually.

IMPORTANT!

NEVER use a high pressure water to clean the mower.
Liquids can damage components. Use only a damp or
wet cloth to wipe the surface clean after scraping.

Troubleshooting

Message
Displayed

Probable
Cause / Event

Corrective
Action

Cross
Outside

The Perimeter Wire is too
close to the edge.

Move the wire towards the inner side of
the lawn.

The lawn slope near the
edge is too big and causes
the mower to slip outside.

Do not include areas with very steep
slopes.

The lawn’s edge is too
bumpy.

Fill holes and pits along the edge till
level with the ground.

Stuck
In Place

The mower got stuck in
place. It cannot continue
driving.

Check the ground for holes or
indentations. Fill it with some earth.

Check if the Perimeter Wire is not
too close to the edge. Move the wire
towards the inner side of the lawn.

Check Mow
Height

Mowing system is in
overload due to very tall
grass or an obstacle that is
stuck or wrapped around
the blades.

Switch off the Safety Switch and inspect
the blades. Remove any foreign object
or excessive clogging inside the mowing
deck.

Raise the mowing height and switch the
TurboMode on.

Check
Power

There is a temporary power
cut.

Confirm that the Power Supply unit is
plugged in into mains.

The Power Supply unit is
not plugged in properly.

Confirm the Power Supply is plugged in.

There is no charging
source detected.

Clean the charging contacts on
the Base Station and verify proper
connection of the Base Station to the
Power Supply unit.

No Wire
Signal

/ Waiting
for Signal

Power Supply unit is
unplugged or there is a
temporary power cut.

Make sure the Base Station is
connected to the mains supply.

Signal generator may need
to be restarted.

Disconnect the Power Supply from the
mains supply and reconnect after 10
seconds.

The Perimeter Wire is not
connected to the Base
Station.

Check the connection of the Perimeter
Wire to the Base Station.

The Perimeter Wire is cut. Check for cuts in the Perimeter Wire.

Frequently
asked questions

Mower does not dock properly and sometimes misses Base
Station’s contacts

The entrance to the Base Station is not flat. Fill some ground
to flatten the lawn around the Base Station to allow smooth
entrance. Make sure the Perimeter Wire is straight and
centered all the way under the Base Station.

Mud, dirt or leaves got stuck to the Front Wheel. This raises the
front of the mower and causes it to miss the charging contacts
of the Base Station. Clean the Front Wheel and make sure it
rotates freely on its axis.
The Base Station is placed on a sloped area: Move the Base
Station to a relatively level ground.

Poor quality mowing

The blades may be dull. Switch off the Safety Switch and try
swapping between blades or replacing them. Use heavy gloves
when inspecting blades.
The grass may be wet. For the best cut, operate the mower
when the grass is dry. It is recommended not to mow in the
early morning hours.

Patchy and uneven mowing

Minimize Inactive Time to allow the mower to complete
Mowing Cycle quicker. If it is the fast growing season - reduce
the time between mowing cycles via the Mowing Frequency
setting. Increase the allocated mowing time via the Mowing

Hours setting to compensate for the lawn’s shape complexity.

Mower does not depart from base for a long time

Press and hold the UP for 1 second while the mower is in the
Base Station. The non-depart reason code will be displayed
for 3 seconds. Refer to our online Help Center for a detailed
description of non-depart codes.
