2.2 Function

Capacity

The robotic lawnmower is recommended for lawns up to 700 m2 in size (400 m2 for the R40Li).

How big an area the robotic lawnmower can keep cut depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type, growth and moisture of the grass. The shape of the garden is also significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns, the robotic lawnmower can mow more in one hour than if the garden consists of several small lawns separated by many trees, flower beds and passages.

A fully charged robotic lawnmower mows for 40 to

60 minutes, depending on the age of the battery and how thick the grass is. Then the robotic lawnmower will charge for 60 to 90 minutes. The charging time can vary depending on, among other factors, the ambient temperature.

Mowing technique

The robotic lawnmower's mowing system is based on an efficient and energy saving principle. Unlike many standard lawnmowers, the robotic lawnmower cuts the grass instead of knocking it off.

It is recommended to allow the robotic lawnmower to mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result. The robotic lawnmower can also mow in the rain, however, wet grass easily sticks on the robotic lawnmower and there is a greater risk of slipping on steep slopes.

If there is risk for thunder, the transformer should be disconnected from the power and the boundary wire and the guide wire from the charging station.

The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn free from branches, small stones and other objects.

Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing result. It is very easy to replace the blades. See 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 60.
