Brief introduction of SmartMow Series-1
The SmartMow uses advanced environmental-friendly rechargeable Libatteries. SmartMow mainly adapts to lawn care of family and public lawns.
It moves automatically in circles and lines with high efficiency in a short time.
The SmartMow adopts Magnetic Field Induction to make the realization of
automatic navigation. It searches for the base station automatically when the
power is low, and continues cutting when it is fully charged.
The SmartMow has an automotive anti-collision system and an Infrared
Sensor System that helps to change direction before hitting obstacles.
The SmartMow also advanced rain induction system. When the rain sensor
senses the rain, the machine goes back to the base station automatically.
The SmartMow is safely designed. After switching the unit to the “On”
position you have to use the IC card that makes the mower start to work.
The blades will stop rotating if the mower is lifted up and the automatic
security protection and check system will turn off the power automatically
when it is overloaded.
Starting your SmartMow
Open the box and check all the components there should be. The plastic and
the metal objects should be out of children's reach.
Perimeter wire setup
Start with placing the perimeter wire provided on the ground according to your
plan.
If
the
area outside the immediate perimeter has obstacles or differences in the
height along the perimeter edge, then the minimum distance from the wire to
the obstacles is 30cm.
If the area outside the immediate perimeter is free of obstacles and is the
same relative height as the perimeter edge or lower, you can fix the wire at the
edge of the lawn.
Circle the tree or other obstacles in the lawn with the perimeter wire.
Important
Ensure the minimum distance: 30cm (from the perimeter wire to the
obstacles besides the lawn)
Ensure the bending angle of the wire at least 100 degree
Pull the perimeter wire as straight as possible.
Do the following:
Fasten and hold the perimeter wire to the ground, below the grass level (we
recommend the pegs be used every 1 meter). Please hide the wire in the
grass as close to the grass roots as possible to avoid the wire being cut by the
mower.
Upon hammering the peg to its final depth in the ground, pull the wire tight
The base station
Important
Ensure that the base station is put at the open area where is also easy
to connect to the electricity outlets.
Ensure that the base station is placed in clockwise direction along the
perimeter wire
Connect the ends of the perimeter wire to holes of the base station.
There must be no obstacles right ahead of the base station.
Place the base station at least 3m from corners to ensure that the
mower can successfully go back to the station for charging, or it may
fail to charge automatically.
Do the following:
Please make sure the perimeter wire is buried as indicated:
Put two pieces of height adjusters at the bottom of the base station.
Connect the ends of the perimeter wire to holes of the base station.
The perimeter wire goes along the wireways and through the center of the
bottom.
Fix the base station with the stakes.
Then after, the base station looks as follows:
▲ The power supply connects to the base station and the electricity outlets
respectively.
▲ Use the electrical power indicated on the label only. If you are not sure
about the power type, please inquire the located Electricity Generating Board.
▲ Use the batteries provided by the manufacturer only.
▲ Use the charger and base station provided by the manufacturer only.
▲ Do not use the charger with damaged cord or plug.
▲ It can charge outside.
▲ Do not touch the cord and plug with wet hands.
▲ Power the base station on, the led turning green shows it is in motion;
during the process of charging, the led is red, and when the machine is fully
charged, the led turns red and green in alternation. The other led is red. When
it is on, it shows the perimeter wire might be loose; when it is off, then the
whole is in normal work.
Charging of the SmartMow
The SmartMow can be charged automatically and manually.
Automatic charging means that when the machine is in work, it self can
inspect the electricity power, and go back to the base station for
charging automatically if the power is low.
Manual charging is that when the power is off; put the plug of the
charger to the mower, the other to the electricity outlets. Remember to
take off the rubber-isolator first.
Do the following:
Automatic charging: The machine automatically goes back to the base station
along the perimeter wire. Now the led of the charger is red, and the led of the
base station is red. After it is fully charged, it will go back to mowing the lawn.
Manual charging: Be sure that the power is off. After taking off the rubberisolator, connect one side of the charger to mower, the other to the electricity
outlets.
When the charger is in motion, the led of the charger is red, and it turns to
green when fully charged.
Before cutting
1. Pick up debris (branches, stones) before you start to mow your lawn.
2. The robot mower works only in the scope of the area rounded by the
perimeter wire. Ensure that you have buried the wire well.
3. Observe the mower in use for the first time. Be sure that it won’t get
trapped in the lawn.
Power on and off

Adjusting of cutting height
The mower has 3 blades working together. The blades are fixed on the
adapter with flexible shims. The lowest cutting height is 3.5cm.
If you have bought a robot mower, you can adjust the cutting height
yourself. First, take off 3 inner hex screws and then, change the positions of
shims and blades. At last, tightly fix the inner hex screws to avoid potential
risks.
ATTENTION:
Blade1 and 2 are screwed tightly in clockwise direction while blade3 is in the
counter clockwise direction.
You can also adjust the blades as follows:
The sequence of installation is: blades and adapter, shims, inner hex screws
Please fix the screws tightly after adjusting.
You can also take apart the outer big wheel to use the inner small ones to
adjust the cutting height
Instructions for quick operation
Prepare the area before cutting, according to the instructions for the
perimeter wire and base station.
The Perimeter Wire
Bury the perimeter wire according to the shape of the lawn. If there are walls,
fences or steps besides the lawn, then the minimum distance from the lawn to
these obstacles is 30cm; if there isn’t, we can fix the wire at the edge of the
lawn.
Please make sure not to exceed an angle of 100 degrees when bending the
perimeter wire and follow any curves and closely as possible.
The Base Station
Place the base station in the open area where it is easy to connect to
electricity outlets. Install the height adjuster first and then connect the two
ends of the perimeter wire to the base station. Be sure that the wire goes
through the right center of the station’s bottom. There should be no obstacles
right in front of the base station and ensure that there be 3-5meters of straight
wire ahead of the station.
One end of the charger connects to the base station and the other connects to
the electricity outlets. Be sure that the charger is in fine situation. Put the
robot mower in the rounded area, turn the power button on, and use the IC
card in the induction place, then the mower starts to work.
Description of Operation
The machine starts to cut in circles first. If it hits something, it will turn
directions by its automotive anti-collision system, as well as the Infrared
Sensor System. If the front wheel is lifted up, the blades stop working within 3
seconds. If the holding time is more than 8 seconds, the whole machine stops
working.
When the mower moves near the perimeter wire, the mower can inspect the
magnetic field of the wire and automatically go around the hedge in a circle,
then go down the hedge in the clockwise direction and start automatic
mowing. The Infrared Sensor System and charging controlling system can
detect whether the mower has reached the base station or not. When the
mower reaches the station, it comes from the perimeter wire and returns to
the cutting area and mows in a random way.
When the mower comes to the area where the grass is thick, it begins to mow
in circles; if the blades are obstructed the machine stops working.
During the mowing process, you can use the remote control to make the
mower turn left/right, or go back to the base station for charging. If there are
places that mower can not reach to, you can use the remote control to adjust
the direction.
The mower can sense the battery level itself. If it is under a set value, the
mower will automatically return to the base station for charging and then
return to cut. If it rains suddenly, the rain sensors of the mower can inducts
the rain immediately that makes the mower turn to the base station.
