2. PRESENTATION
Working method
The Automower® automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The mower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low. Automower® does not mow when it is searching for the charging station.
When Automower® searches for the charging station, it first searches irregularly for the guide wire. Then it follows the guide wire to the charging station, turns around just in front of the station and backs into it.
When the battery is fully charged, the mower leaves the charging station and starts mowing in a randomly selected direction within the 90˚ to 270˚ exit sector.
In order to ensure an even cut, even in parts of the garden that are hard to reach, there are a number of manual settings for how the mower is to leave the charging station, see 6.4 Installation (2).
When Automower® body hits an obstacle, the mower reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, one at the front and one at the back on Automower®, sense when the mower approaches the boundary wire. Automower® overruns the wire by up to 28 centimetres before it turns.
The STOP button on the top of Automower® is mainly used to stop the mower when it’s running. When the STOP button is pressed a cover opens, behind which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains depressed until the cover is closed again. This acts as start inhibitor.
