Capacity

Automower® 260 ACX is recommended for lawns up to 5000 m2 +/-20%.

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® 260 ACX mows for approximately

60 minutes, depending on the age of the battery and the thickness of the grass. The mower then charges for 40 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.
