4. USE

4.2 Using the timer

Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on page 44.) to avoid a downtrodden lawn. When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about 45 m2 per hour and day (30 m2 for the GARDENA R40Li).

Example

If the working area is 360 m2 in size, the robotic lawnmower must operate for 8 hours a day (12 hours for the GARDENA R40Li). The times are approximate and depend for instance on grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Use the timer to avoid mowing when there are usually children, pets and anything else that could be damaged by the rotating blades on the lawn.

The factory setting for the timer is 07:00-23:00 (07:00-22:00 for the GARDENA R40Li) and it allows mowing every day of the week. This setting is suitable for a working area of about 700 m2 (400 m2 for the GARDENA R40Li).

If the size of the working area allows it, the quality of the grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass benefits from resting completely during at least a three-day period once a month.

Standby

The robotic lawnmower has an inbuilt standby period

B

 

of at least 8 hours a day (11 timmar för GARDENA

 

R40Li). The standby period provides for instance a

 

good opportunity to water or play games on the lawn.

The times used in this example are applicable to GARDENA R40Li, but the principle is the same for GARDENA R70Li.

Work period 1: 07:00 - 22:00

Work days: All days

The factory setting ensures that the robotic lawnmower begins cutting the lawn at 07.00. The mower is parked in the charging station from

20.00and rests until it starts cutting again at

If the timer setting is divided into two work periods, the standby period can be divided into a number of periods. The maximum operating time can however be a maximum of up to 8 hours (11 hours for the GARDENA R40Li).
