3.8 First start-up and calibration

Before the mower is operated, a start-up sequence in the mower’s menu must be carried out as well as an automatic calibration of the guide signal. The calibration is also a good test to see that the installation of the guide wire has been done in such a way that the mower can easily follow the guide wire from the charging station.

1.Set the main switch to position 1.

2.Open the control panel cover by pressing the STOP button.

A start-up sequence begins when the R40Li is started for the first time. The following is requested:

•Language

•Time format

•Current time

•Date format

•Date

•Four digit PIN code. All combinations except 0000 are permitted.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Use MEMO on page 4 to make a note of the

PIN code.

3.Place the mower in the charging station as requested in the display. The mower will now start the guide calibration, by leaving the charging station and following the guide wire to the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire to begin mowing there. Check that the mower can follow the guide wire all the way. If it cannot, this may be due to an incorrectly installed guide wire. In this case, check that the installation is performed as described in chapter 3.6 Installation of the guide wire on page 27.

3.9Test docking with the charging station

Before using the mower, check that it can follow the guide wire all the way to the charging station and easily docks with the charging station. Perform the test below.

1.Open the control panel cover by pressing the STOP button.

2.Place the mower close to the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire. Place the mower about 2 metres from the guide wire, facing the guide wire.
