TECHNICAL INFORMATION
GENERAL MACHINE DESCRIPTION
This machine is a robot that automatically mows the grass in your
garden.
It is small, compact, silent and
easy to transport.
It can freely move within an enclosed area, detecting the signal
transmitted by the perimeter cable located on the ground all
around the area to be mowed; it
can also work without a perimeter cable as long as the working
area is enclosed by a fence at
least 10 cm. high.
When work autonomy has expired (see technical specifications), the robot returns to the
base to automatically recharge
the batteries. When this operation is over, the machine restarts
mowing.
It follows a "random" pattern, with
no fixed plan; periodically and randomly, the spiral function, particularly efficient on obstacle free
areas, is activated.
2
It covers an area of up to 3000 m
two or more robots can work simultaneously to cover a wider area.
According to the various operating requirements, the robot can
be produced in several models
whose differences are indicated
C1415009 00.fm
in the technical specifications.
It is equipped with a keyboard with

Working area with perimeter cable
Before installing the cable, decide
the best location for the recharging base and the transformer
(see p. 16).
The cable can be placed at ground
level or underground. The signal
quality and intensity could be compromised if cables are underground, as a matter of fact, with
the cable at ground level the lawn
mower detects the signal at a distance of 650÷750 cm., while with
a cable 40 cm. underground this
distance is reduced to 450 cm. For further information contact your dealer.
Start placing the cable from the point established for the recharging base and
continue along the perimeter of the area
following the ground irregularity. To allow
the lawn mower to correctly enter the
recharging base, the input end of the cable must be straight and perpendicular

of the cable must end at least 30 cm.
away from the recharging base.
Important
If the cable is placed at ground level, it
must not be exceedingly taut and it
must be secured with the proper nails
supplied.

that the distance between the two
cables must not be below 70 cm.
It will be like a ”separate working
area”; to mow the secondary area, the lawn mower must be programmed accordingly (see

To mow the secondary area, the
lawn mower must be manually
transferred (see instructions on
p. 22).
Note: if the main area cannot be connected with the closed secondary area, an additional recharging base can be bought for
the secondary area.
According to certain conditions
(ex.: border walls, hedges, etc.),
the perimeter cable must be installed at an adequate distance;

Work area without perimeter cable and manual return
If the area is bordered by a wall or
a fence at least 10 cm. high, the
lawn mower can work without a
perimeter cable.
To mow the area, program the
lawn mower selecting "no perimeter" from the menu (see p. 26)
and press the start button; once
the working time is over the lawn
mower stops without searching
the recharging base.
To recharge batteries, manually
move the lawn mower to the
main area.
Setting the rapid return to the recharging base
IDM - 41500903500.tif
GB
Some settings can be done along
the perimeter cable that allow
the lawn mower to change directions reducing the distance covered and the time to return to the
charging base.
To do so, an equilateral triangle of
35 cm. should be formed with
the perimeter cable. The illustration shows some useful indications to determine the right
location of the setting for the rapid return to the charging base.
Note: when the lawn mower follows the
perimeter to reach a secondary area it
does not consider the settings for a rapid
return.
Important
If the setting for a rapid return
is incorrectly placed, the lawn mower
may not be able to return to the recharging base.
