5ADJUST THE MOWER TO SUIT YOUR GARDENSee chapters 6.4 and 6.5 in the Operator’s Manual.Here you will find a few tips about important settings for your Automower®.All settings for Automower® are made using the menu functions.
ADJUST THE MOWER TO SUIT THE SIZE OF YOUR LAWN
The mowing results depend on mowing time. Adjust the mowing time to suit your garden using the Timer function. If the mower works too often: The lawn will appear trampled down.
If the mower works too seldom: The lawn will not be properly cut.
TIMER
You decide what times of the day and days of the week the mower is to work. Automower® cuts around 250 m² / 2200 ft² per hour and day.
If your garden consists of 3000 m² / 0.75 acre grass, the mower should work on average 12 hours per day.
SMS
For increased control of Automower® there is an SMS function that enables the mower to communicate with its user (See chapter 6.6 in the Operator’s Manual).
ADJUST THE MOWER FOR NARROW PASSAGES
Narrow passages in the garden make it difficult for the mower to find the charging station. Test to see if the mower finds its way home using the Test IN function.
1.Look for the narrowest passage in the garden (between the boundary loops).
2.Place the mower beyond the passage, with its front facing the boundary loop.
3.Activate the Test IN function (Garden - Follow loop - Test IN) and start the mower.
4.Ensure that the mower follows the boundary loop through the passage.
a. If the mover travels through: The test is complete.
a. If the mover does not travel through: Lower the value of the Corridor width, boundary by 1 unit. Restart the test from point 2.
CORRIDOR WIDTH, BOUNDARY
SettingsCorridor width, boundary (Garden– Follow loop – Corridor width – Corridor width, bound.) defines the distance between the mower’s path to the boundary wire or the guide wire when following these to/from the charging station.
The higher the stated Corridor width, the further from the loop the mover can travel. This produces less wheel tracks than if the mover were to travel close to the loop.
