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 and easy to handle depending on the type of lawn that is being
mowed.
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 a new direction.
Based on its operating principle (“random”), the robot automatically mows the entire delimited
area of the lawn (see figure).
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conditionoftheblade(levelofsharpness,grassordebrisbuildup,etc.)

•themodeloftherobotandtypeofbatteriesinstalled

The robot is available in multiple versions (L50BEU – L50BUS – L50DEU – L50DUS) versions,
and has a lithium battery installed to guarantee long running time to mow areas 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 operating 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 of injury. 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 first time, it is recommended to carefully read the entire
manual and to fully understand it, particularly any and all 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 injury or 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 robot and in this manual; 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 specified by the manufacturer. Improper use of
the robot may lead to serious injury or death.

• Before using the lawn mower, make sure that there are 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 operate 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 at any time.

• Do not tamper with, sidestep, eliminate or bypass the safety devices installed.

The non-observance of this requirement may cause serious personal injury or death.

• Keep the lawn mower in conditions of maximum efficiency by carrying out the maintenance
operations provided for by the Manufacturer. Proper maintenance will allow obtaining the

• In reference to the WEEE Directive (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), during the
phasing out of the machine, the user must separate the electrical and electronic components
and dispose of them in special authorised waste collection centres, or take them back to the
retailer when purchasing a new one.

• All the parts, which must be collected separated and disposed of in a specific manner, are
marked with a special label.

• Unauthorised disposal of Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is punishable
with sanctions regulated by the laws in force in the territory where the infraction has been
verified.

• To implement the European directives (2002/95/CE, 2002/96/CE, 2003/108/CE) in the Italian
territory, for example, a legislative decree was issued (No. 151 of 25 July 2005) which provi­des for an administrative fine of 2000÷5000 Euro.

Danger - Attention

Electric and Electronic Equipment may contain hazardous substances having
potentially harmful effects on the environment and people. It is recommended to
correctly dispose of this waste.

SAFETY SIGNALS

Attention! Do not use a water hose to clean or wash the

robot.

Read the instructions and ensure that you fully under­stand them before using the robot.

The warnings and safety instructions given in this manual
must be followed. Failure to do so could lead to machine
breakage and/or serious bodily injury.

Keep hands and feet well away from the cutting blade. Do
not place your hands or feet beneath the body or close to
the robot when it is working.

• Only qualified persons, having the necessary technical expertise and skill, should attempt to
work on or repair this robot. Failure to observe these requirements could result in serious
injury.

• The Manufacturer 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.

• Never use and recharge the robot in explosive and/or flammable environments.

ROBOT SAFETY DEVICES

1. Lift sensor

In the event that the robot is lifted from the ground, the blade will stop rotating in less than two
seconds.

2. Bumpers

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.

3. Inclinometer

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.

4. Emergency stop switch

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).

5. Over-current protection

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 first 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.

best area for installing the power supply unit and the boundaries of the robot’s work area.

Position the power supply unit in an easy to access zone.
– The power supply unit must be in a well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and

exposure to the elements.

– The power supply unit must not be in direct contact with the ground or humid environments.

Danger - Attention

Do not recharge the robot in explosive and/or flammable environments.

Warning - Caution

When connecting the electricity, it is necessary that a power outlet is positioned
next to the installation area. Make sure that the connection to the mains power
conforms to the applicable regulations and standards.

Important

It is recommended to install the unit in a cabinet for electric components (for
outdoor or indoor use), well-ventilated to maintain a correct air re-circulation
and equipped with a key lock so that access to the power supply unit is only
permitted to authorised personnel.

PREPARATION AND DEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE WORK AREAS

Preparation of the lawn to mow

1. Make sure that the lawn to mow is even and does not contain holes, stones or other obstacles.
Otherwise, prepare the lawn by filling in any holes and removing any obstacles. If some obsta­cles cannot be removed, it is necessary to properly define and protect the interested areas.

2. Check that all the areas of the lawn do not exceed the allowable slopes (see “Technical Speci­fications”, page 9).

The sensors, which recognise the presence of the grassy surface, allow the robot to move freely
inside the lawn. The lawn must be suitably checked and adjusted so that the robot has enough
space for recognising when there is no grass. Carefully follow the below points for the correct and
safe use of the robot.

STEEP SLOPES

The robot’s safety system will interpret sudden changes in the slope (greater than 15°) as an ano­maly and therefore, will reverse the direction and bring the robot back to safety continuing to mow
the lawn. Tree trunks which gradually rise from the ground or stones positioned to mark the bounda­ry of flower-strips which gently descend onto the grassy surface are also interpreted as slope
changes.

Important

Check the robot when using for the first time on slopes that are at the limit of
the specifications.

Important

For a better cutting performance and correct functioning of the recognition
sensor, do not start the robot in case of rain or in very humid conditions. The
best results are obtained in the middle of the day.

STARTING THE ROBOT WITH THE SENSORS TURNED OFF

In certain lawn conditions, the robot can be started with the lawn and curb drop-off sensors
deactivated, which means the robot can be started when lawn conditions are such that correct
functions are not guaranteed, for example with very short or patchy grass.

This mode requires very special attention from the user, and the dealer should be consulted
before attempting to operate in this mode.

When the robot is on Pause, these modes can be activated following this procedure:
