2.2 Function of Automower™

Capacity

Automower is recommended for lawns up to 3000 m2 (1800 m2 for 220 AC).

How large an area is mown depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type of grass, growth rate and humidity. The shape of the garden is also significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns, Automower can mow more per hour than if the garden consists of several small lawns separated by trees, flower beds and passages.

How long Automower mows and recharges can vary depending on, among others, the ambient temperature. Up to about 25 °C a fully charged Automower mows for approximately 60 - 90 minutes, (40 - 60 minutes for 220 AC), depending on the age of the battery and the thickness of the grass. The mower then charges for 45 - 60 minutes. Above 25 °C both the mowing and charging times gradually drop.

Mowing technique

The mowing system used by Automower is based on an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike normal lawn mowers, Automower cuts the grass instead of striking it off.

We recommend you allow Automower to mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result. Automower can even mow in the rain, however, wet grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of slipping on steep slopes is greater.

When there is a risk of thunder Automower should not stand in the charging station. When there is a risk of a thunder storm, the 230 V plug should be removed from the mains socket and the boundary wire disconnected 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.
