6. MENU FUNCTIONS

6.3 Timer

The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Consequently, it is important to limit the operating time using the timer function if the working area is less than the robotic lawnmower's working capacity. When the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened. Besides, the robotic lawnmower is subjected to unnecessary wear.

The timer function is also an ideal means to control which work hours the robotic lawnmower should not mow, for example, when the children are playing in the garden.

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

When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about 45 m2 per hour and day (30 m2 for the GARDENA R40Li.)

A clock symbol is displayed on the start page when the timer settings are set. The clock symbol is black when the robotic lawnmower is not allowed to mow due to a timer setting and it is white when the mower is allowed to mow.

The robotic lawnmower has an inbuilt standby period of about 8 hours a day (11 hours for the GARDENA R40Li). The robotic lawnmower is parked in the charging station during this period. See 4.2 Using the timer on page 35.
