4. USE

4.2 Using the timer

The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer (1) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the maximum life from your R40Li. When setting the timer, calculate that R40Li mows around 30 m2 per hour and day. For example; if the working area is 300 m2, the mower must operate for 10 hours a day.

The factory setting for the timer is 07:00-22:00 and it can operate every day of the week. This setting is suitable for a working area of about 400 m2.

The R40Li has an inbuilt standby period of at least 11 hours a day. The standby period provides for instance a good opportunity to water or play games on the lawn.

If the timer setting is divided into two work hours, the standby period can be divided into a number of periods. The maximum operating time can however be a maximum of up to 13 hours. When in operation, the mower alternates between mowing and charging.

Example 1

Work hour 1: 07:00 - 22:00

Week days: All days

The factory setting ensures that the mower begins cutting the lawn at 07.00. The mower is parked in the charging station from 22.00 and rests until it starts cutting again at 07.00.

Example 2

Work hour 1: 06:00 - 16:00

Work hour 2: 20:00 - 23:00

Week days: All days

The mower will operate between 06:00 and 16:00. It will begin again at 20:00 but stop running at 22:00 to rest until it starts again at 06:00.

Example 3

Work hour 1: 20:00 - 06:00

Weekdays: Monday to Saturday

The mower will operate from Monday 00:01 to Saturday 23:59. As this work hour entails an operational period of 10 hours a day, there is no need to stop operations to obtain the correct standby period.

The above times are approximate. The times depend for instance on grass quality, knife sharpness and battery age.

If the size of the working area allows it, the quality of the grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass benefits from resting completely during at least a three-day period once a month.
