2. PRESENTATION
Working method
Automower™ automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The charging station sends out a signal that
Automower™ can sense at a distance of 20 - 23 ft
(6 - 7 meters). 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 uses one or more of three different search
methods: Irregular, Follow boundary wire and Follow
guide wire. For more information about the search
methods, see
2.3 Search method on page 15 and
Follow loop in (3-2-2) on page 53.
When the battery is charged the mower reverses,
turns around and leaves the charging station in a
randomly selected direction within the exit sector
90° - 270°.
To make it easier for Automower™ to reach all parts
of the garden you can manually set how the mower
will leave the charging station, see
6.5 Installation (3)
on page 49.
When Automower™ body hits an obstacle, the
mower reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, at the front and back on Automower™,
sense when the mower approaches the boundary
wire. Automower™ overruns the wire by up to
27 centimeters (11") before it turns. The overrun
length can be set, see Drive past wire (3-4-1) on
page 57.
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.
