2. PRESENTATION
2.2 Function
Capacity
The Automower ® is recommended for lawns up to 0.12
acre (500 m 2 ) in size.
How big an area Automower ® can keep cut depends
primarily on the condition of the blades and the type,
growth and moisture of the grass. The shape of the
garden is also significant. If the garden mainly consists
of open lawns, Automower
® can mow more per hour
than if the garden consists of several small lawns
separated by trees, flower beds and passages.
A fully charged Automower ® mows for 40 to
50 minutes, depending on the age of the battery and
how thick the grass is. Then the mower will charge for
approx. 80 to 100 minutes. The charging time can vary
depending on, among other factors, the ambient
temperature.
Mowing technique
The mowing system used by Automower ® is based on
an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike
normal robotic lawn mowers, Automower
® cuts the
grass instead of striking it off.
We recommend you allow Automower ® to mainly
mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result.
Automower
® can even mow in the rain, however, wet
grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of
slipping on steep slopes is greater.
If there is risk for thunder, the transformer should be
disconnected from the power, and the boundary wire
and the guide wire from the charging station.
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the
best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp
for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn
free from branches, small stones and other objects.
Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing
result. It is very easy to replace the blades. See
8.7 Blades on page 56.
