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 on page 44.) to avoid a downtrodden lawn. When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about 45 m2 per hour and day (about 30 m2 for Automower® 305).

Example

If the working area is 360 m2 the robotic lawnmower must operate for about 8 hours per day (about 12 hours for the Automower® 305). The times are approximate and depend for instance on grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Use the timer to avoid mowing when there are usually children, pets and anything else that could be damaged by the rotating blades on the lawn.

The factory setting for the timer is 05:00-24:00 (07:00-23:00 for the Automower® 305) and it allows mowing every day of the week. This setting is suitable for a working area of about 800 m2 (500 m2 for the Automower® 305).

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.

Standby

The robotic lawnmower has an inbuilt standby period of about 6 hours a day (8 hours for the Automower® 305). The standby period provides a good opportunity, for example, to water or play games on the lawn.

Example 1

The times used in this example are applicable to the Automower®305 but the principle is the same for the Automower® 308.

Work period 1: 07:00 - 23:00
