Boundaries within the working area

Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example, flowerbeds, bushes and fountains.

Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example, trees and bushes higher than 15 cm, do not need to be demarcated by the boundary wire. The robotic lawnmower will turn around when it collides with this type of obstacle.

To achieve careful and silent operation, it is recommended to isolate all fixed objects in and around the working area.

Lay the wire up to and around the area to be demarcated, and then return it back along the same route. If staples are used, the wire should be laid under the same staple on the return route. When the boundary wires to and from the island are laid close together, the robotic lawnmower can drive over the wire.

The boundary wire may not be crossed on its way to and from an island.

Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or large trees with raised roots, must be isolated with an island or removed. Otherwise the robotic lawnmower can slide up onto this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged and/or the mower to get stuck.

Secondary areas

If the working area consists of two areas which the robotic lawnmower has difficulty travelling between, it is recommended to set up a secondary area. Instances of this are 25% slopes or a passage that is narrower than 150 cm. Lay the boundary wire then around the secondary area so that it forms an island outside of the main area.

The robotic lawnmower must be moved manually between the main and secondary area when the lawn in the secondary area has to be cut. The MAN operation mode must be used as the robotic lawnmower cannot travel on its own from the secondary area to the charging station. See

5.1Operation selection on page 39. In this mode, the robotic lawnmower will never look for the charging station but will mow until the battery runs out. When the battery is flat, the robotic lawnmower will stop and the Needs manual charging message will appear in the display. Then place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery. If the main working area has to be cut after charging, it is appropriate to switch the operation mode to Auto before placing the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.

R70Li, R40Li specifications

The Gardena R40Li and R70Li robotic lawn mowers represent the cutting-edge in garden maintenance technology, designed to simplify the lawn care process for homeowners. With their sleek design and innovative features, these mowers offer exceptional performance, reliability, and convenience.

The R40Li is suitable for smaller gardens of up to 400 square meters, while the R70Li caters to medium-sized lawns of up to 700 square meters. Both models are powered by a robust lithium-ion battery, providing efficient and quiet operation while ensuring minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment.

One of the standout features of these robotic mowers is their intelligent navigation system. The R40Li and R70Li are equipped with a smart sensor technology that allows them to efficiently map and navigate the garden, avoiding obstacles and adjusting their mowing paths as needed. This ensures that every corner of the lawn is trimmed without missing patches or damaging plants.

Both mowers come with a programmable timer, which allows users to set specific days and times for mowing, ensuring that the lawn is always well-maintained. The rain sensor is another valuable feature, automatically detecting wet conditions and returning to the charging station to prevent unwanted damage to the lawn.

Ease of use is a priority with the Gardena R40Li and R70Li. They are equipped with intuitive controls, allowing users to easily customize settings and manage their mowing schedules. The mow height can be easily adjusted, giving homeowners the flexibility to achieve their desired grass length.

Safety is another critical aspect of these robotic mowers. Both models feature an emergency stop function and a lift sensor that halts operation if the mower is lifted or tilted, providing peace of mind to users with pets and children.

Moreover, the mowers' compact design and highly maneuverable nature allow them to operate in tight spaces and navigate narrow passages with ease. Their durable construction ensures reliability and longevity, making them a worthwhile investment for any garden enthusiast.

In summary, the Gardena R40Li and R70Li robotic lawn mowers provide an excellent combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and efficient performance, making lawn care effortless and enjoyable.
