8 - English 1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.4 Safety Instructions Use • This robotic lawnmower is designed to mow grass in open and level ground areas. It may only be used with the equipment recommended by the manufacturer. All other types of use are incorrect.
English - 9 1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY • Full compatibility cannot be guaranteed between the robotic lawnmower and other types of wireless systems such as remote controls, radio transmitters, hearing loops, buried electric animal fencing or similar.
10 - English 2. PRESENTATION 2. Presentation This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation. Installation of the robotic lawnmower involves four main components: • A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by essentially operating in a random pattern.
English - 11 2. PRESENTATION 2.1 What is what? The numbers in the illustration represent: 1. Body 2. Cover to display, keypad and cutting height adjustment 3. Stop button/Catch to open the cover 4. Contact strips 5. LED for operation check of the charging station, boundary wire and guide wire 6.
12 - English 2. PRESENTATION 2.2 Function Capacity The robotic lawnmower is recommended for lawns up to 700 m 2 in size (400 m 2 for the R40Li). How big an area the robotic lawnmower can keep cut depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type, growth and moisture of the grass.
English - 13 2. PRESENTATION Working method The robotic lawnmower automatically mows the lawn. It continuously alternates between mowing and charging. The robotic lawnmower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low.
14 - English 2. PRESENTATION The control panel on the top of the robotic lawnmower is where you manage all the robotic lawnmower settings. Open the control panel cover by pressing down the STOP button.
English - 15 3. INSTALLATION 3. Installation This chapter describes how you install the GARDENA robotic lawnmower. Before starting the installation read the previous chapter 2. Presentation . Read also through this entire chapter before beginning the installation.
16 - English 3. INSTALLATION • Transformer (20) • Low voltage cable (17) • Staples (21) • Connector for connecting the loop wire to the charging station(18) • Screws for the charging station.
English - 17 3. INSTALLATION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free space in front of it (at least 3 metres). It should also be centrally placed in the working area to make it easier for the robotic lawnmower to reach all areas in the working area.
18 - English 3. INSTALLATION If the installation is done in a working area with a steep slope (such as around a house on a hill), the charging station should be placed in the area at the bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire to the charging station.
English - 19 3. INSTALLATION It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working area. The low voltage cable must be stapled down or buried, and the cutting height should be such that the blades on the blade disc can never come in contact with the low voltage cable.
20 - English 3. INSTALLATION Installation and connecting the charging station 1. Position the charging station in a suitable spot. 2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station. 3. Connect the transformer’s power cable to a 230V wall socket.
English - 21 3. INSTALLATION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: 1. Securing the wire to the ground with staples. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary wire during the first few weeks of operation.
22 - English 3. INSTALLATION Working area boundaries If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 30 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear.
English - 23 3. INSTALLATION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example, flowerbeds, bushes and fountains.
24 - English 3. INSTALLATION Passages when mowing Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 1.5 - 2 metres should be avoided. When the robotic lawnmower mows, there is a risk that it travels around in the passage or area for a period of time. The lawn will then look flattened.
English - 25 3. INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire If you intend to staple down the boundary wire: • Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid.
26 - English 3. INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station The boundary wire must be laid in line with the rear end of the charging station and at least 1.5 metres straight out to the right and left of the station. See the illustration.
English - 27 3. INSTALLATION 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: 1. Place the wire ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. 2. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
28 - English 3. INSTALLATION 3.6 Installation of the guide wire The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary wire.
English - 29 3. INSTALLATION Laying and connecting the guide wire 1. Run the wire through the slot in the bottom of the charger plate. 2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for the boundary wire described in 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire on page 27.
30 - English 3. INSTALLATION - In the passage, the guide wire must therefore be placed so that the robotic lawnmower has as much space to run in as possible.
English - 31 3. INSTALLATION 6. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using a coupler: Insert the boundary wire in each of the holes in the coupler.
32 - English 3. INSTALLATION 3.8 First start-up and calibration Before the robotic lawnmower is operated, a start-up sequence in the robotic lawnmower's menu must be carried out as well as an automatic calibration of the guide signal.
English - 33 3. INSTALLATION 3.9 Test docking with the charging station Before using the robotic lawnmower, check that the robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire all the way to the charging station and easily docks with the charging station. Perform the test below.
34 - English 4. USE 4. Use 4.1 Charging a flat battery When the GARDENA robotic lawnmower is new or has been stored for a long period, the battery will be flat and needs to be charged before starting. Charging takes approximately 80 to 100 minutes. 1.
English - 35 4. USE 4.2 Using the timer 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 m 2 per hour and day (30 m 2 for the GARDENA R40Li).
36 - English 4. USE Example 2 The times used in this example are applicable to GARDENA R40Li, but the principle is the same for GARDENA R70Li. Work period 1: 06:00 - 16:00 Work period 2: 20:00 - 23:00 Work days: All days The robotic lawnmower will operate between 06:00 and 16:00.
English - 37 4. USE 4.4 Stopping 1. Press the STOP button. The robotic lawnmower stops, the blade motor stops and the control panel cover opens. 4.5 Switching off 1.
38 - English 5. CONTROL PANEL 5. Control panel All forms of commands and settings for the GARDENA robotic lawnmower are made via the control panel. All functions are accessed via a number of menus. The control panel consists of a display and a keypad.
