LawnMaster L10 Robotic Lawnmower FAQs
How does it work?
The Lawnmaster L10 is a robotic lawnmower that will mow your lawn independently, freeing
you up to either relax or get stuff done while the lawn is taken care of.
The L10 will alternately mow and charge, returning automatically to the charging dock when
the battery is low.
The mower is contained within the lawn by a boundary wire which is connected to the
charging station. The charging station sends a safe, low voltage signal along the boundary
wire which the mower senses and won’t go past.
The boundary wire should be laid around the area that is to be mowed and can be used to
exclude the mower from certain areas and obstacles, such as trees, shrubs, raised beds and
ponds.
Is it difficult to install?
Installation requires a boundary wire to be laid around the perimeter of the cutting area and
connected to a charging station. This is simple but may take some time. However, the time
spent setting up is one-time only, and is repaid by many hours of effort-free lawn
maintenance!
What happens to the grass clippings?
The Lawnmaster L10 mows little and often, shaving just the very tips off the grass with 3
sharp metal blades. These tiny clippings are not collected but are instead returned to the
lawn surface where the nutrients contained in them fertilise the soil. This means stronger,
healthier grass with less need for supplemental fertiliser. It also means no grass clippings to
dispose of or compost.
Do I need to charge it?
No, the Lawnmaster L10 will automatically return to the charging station by navigating
anti-clockwise along the boundary wire when the battery is low. If the mower is charging
within the mowing duration, it will resume mowing when the battery is fully charged
again. If the mower is still charging when the mowing duration has ended, it will remain
on stand-by in the dock until the next day.

How long does it mow for?
The L10 can mow for durations of 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours. The mowing duration selected
should depend on the time of year and the size of the lawn.
For example, in spring it is advised to select a higher cutting height and longer duration,
gradually reducing the height of cut until the grass is uniformly short. This will cause less
stress to the lawn and give the best battery performance.
Once the grass has reached the desired length, the duration can be shortened to 4-6
hours for “maintenance cutting”, depending on the size of the lawn. For larger lawns, a
longer duration may still be needed to maintain a desirable result.
Can it be programmed for specific times?
The L10 can be programmed to start at a specific time each day. The start time can be
changed by turning the mower off, then on again via the switch underneath the mower.
The L10 will mow every day, for the duration selected using the keypad.
Please note that turning the L10 off via the switch underneath the mower for any reason
will alter the start time. The new start time will be the time at which the mower is
turned on again and the start operation is performed.
Is it noisy?
The L10 is extremely quiet at only 62dB. Enjoy a snooze while the L10 takes care of the
lawn!
Do I need to bury the wire?
Although the boundary wire can be buried if desired, it’s not necessarily recommended.
Cutting the grass very short where the boundary wire is to be laid is usually enough, and
after a few weeks the grass will have grown over the boundary wire, making it practically
invisible. Laying the boundary without burying it also makes it easier to make changes
and repairs later.
Where can I buy extra blades and other spare parts?
Replacement blades and other spares such as boundary wire, boundary wire repair kits
and our patented labour-saving device, the Lawnmaster Peg Driver, can be purchased
from cleva-uk.com.

We recommend that blades are replaced whenever the lawn cut looks uneven, or blades
appear to be damaged or worn during routine inspection. Always replace in sets to
preserve normal function of the machine.
What do I do if my boundary wire is damaged?
If the boundary wire becomes damaged for any reason, it is quite simple to repair using
connectors supplied with the mower. Extra wire can be spliced into the boundary to extend
or repair it. Insert the ends to be connected into any two of the holes in the connector and
clamp it shut with grips or pliers. The connector is filled with water-repellent grease and is
waterproof.
I can’t remember my pin code, what do I do?
Please call the help line on 0191 654 0036 and we can talk you through how to re-set your
PIN. For security reasons, we may ask you about details relating to your order to verify
ownership of the mower.
What security features does the mower have? Will it be stolen?
The L10 requires PIN code entry after each time the stop button is pressed, or the machine is
turned off and on again via the switch underneath the mower. This removes the possibility
for children and unauthorised persons to operate the machine.
Is it safe for children and pets?
The L10 has passed rigorous tests to ensure that it is compliant with the latest safety
standards set by European regulators. The blades will stop if the product is lifted, tilted or
bumps into an object. However, for added safety, we recommend not to leave children and
pets unattended while the L10 is operating nearby.
Can I leave it out all year round?
It is recommended to bring the L10 indoors to a dry garage or shed when the main growing
season is finished (usually around the end of October). The product should be charged
before storing to keep the battery in optimum condition. It is also recommended to give the
mower a thorough clean and take the opportunity to replace blades and check for software
updates before the new season. The charging station can be left outside year round.
What happens if there are obstacles on the lawn?

The L10 is equipped with a bump sensor, meaning that if the mower bumps into a large,
unmoving object, it will stop, reverse and continue in a different direction.
However, it is recommended to remove or cordon off (using the boundary wire) sloping
stones, trees with fragile bark, angled tree supports, exposed tree roots, shrubs and ponds
to prevent damage to both the mower and the object.
Smaller objects such as children’s toys, pet toys, tools, sticks and small stones should be
removed from the lawn as they pose a risk of damaging the mower.
What about flower bulbs in the lawn?
Temporary physical boundaries can be placed on the lawn to deflect the L10 during the
growing season for daffodils and other bulbs. To protect them, we recommend sinking
lengths of bamboo cane (approx. 40cm tall) into the lawn at 15cm intervals from each other
to form a temporary barrier around the patches which require protection. Ensure at least
20cm remains above ground level. This method can also be used around areas that may
need reseeding throughout the season.
Will it mow in the rain?
The L10 has a built-in rain sensor which is designed to detect wet conditions. When the rain
sensor is triggered, the mower will return to the charging station until the sensor dries out
naturally. This prevents damage to the lawn from the wheels operating in wet conditions
and avoids extra load on the motor and battery caused by cutting in wet conditions.
Can it mow on slopes?
The Lawnmaster L10 can mow on slopes of up to 35%. This means that for every distance of
100cm, the rise can be no more than 35cm.

To calculate your slope gradient. Stick bamboo canes into the ground at the top most part of the
slope, and the bottom most part of the slope. Add canes at regular intervals (they must not be
spaced at a distance larger than their height) in a straight line between. Run a length of garden
twine from the bottom of the upper most cane to the next cane down the slope. Repeat until all
canes have level string between them as shown in the diagram.
To calculate the gradient:
Measure the length of each string between each cane. Add them together. This is the run of the
slope.
Measure the vertical distance from the bottom of each cane to where the string meets. Add
them together. This is the rise.
The formula for calculating the gradient is (Rise/Run) *100
I have multiple lawns; do I need two mowers?
If you have two lawns which are connected by a corridor or path which wider than 1m and all on
the same level, the L10 can navigate this as part of normal operation. We would not recommend
that you attempt to allow the L10 to navigate a corridor of gravel, as this may damage the
cutting mechanism.
If you have multiple lawns separated on different levels or separated by obstacles which would
prevent the L10 from gaining access (such as a fence), the L10 will need to be moved manually to
the secondary lawn. In order to do this, the boundary wire is set up as normal around the main
lawn, and the secondary lawn is wired up as an island.

For more details on how to set up the L10 to mow secondary lawns, please refer to the
instruction manual.
Will I still need a traditional lawnmower?
You may still require a traditional mower if your garden has tricky areas that the L10 cannot
navigate, such as steep slopes, extremely bumpy areas, or areas exposed to the general public
such as front lawns.
Although the L10 has an edge cutting function, it will still leave a small border (around 20cm) of
lawn un-cut where the boundary wire is laid 30cm away from the edge of the lawn. We
recommend using a grass trimmer to tidy the edges.
What is the warranty period?
The L10 comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. This does not cover wear
and tear, consumables such as blades, accidental damage or use not in accordance with the
recommendations. If you suspect your L10 has a defect, please contact us (link)
What is the maximum cutting area?
The L10 can cut a maximum area of 400m2
In order to achieve the best finish, we recommend cutting the lawn to 30mm with a traditional
mower before starting the L10 for the first time. This will result in a neat finish from the start.
Alternatively, the L10 can be started at a relatively high height of cut (40mm) and allowed to cut
the grass down gradually. It may take several days to achieve a uniform finish this way,
depending on the size of garden.
How often do I need to clean it?
We recommend inspecting your L10 every 8 weeks to check for damage and wear to the blades.
During this time, it can be useful to give the mower a clean with a cloth or brush to remove any
built up grass and mud, particularly in the wheel treads.
The L10 is IPX5 rated, meaning that it can be cleaned using a standard garden hose if necessary.
Do not use high powered jet wash equipment for this task.
How long does it need to be charged for?
The L10 automatically senses when the battery is low and will return to the base station along
the boundary wire.
During a mowing period of 8 hours, the mower will return to the base to be charged multiple
times. The amount of times will depend on the length of grass being mown.

Can I control it from my phone?
We designed our L10 to be as simple to use as possible, meaning no apps needed to use it.
The mower is controlled completely from the keypad on the machine.
How long will the blades last before they need to be replaced?
We recommend changing the blades at the start of a new season. However, we recommend
checking the blades for wear every 8 weeks. Replacement blades can be purchased in the
accessories section of the CLEVA website.
It’s stopped working, what do I do?
Please check the troubleshooting guide at the back of the L10 instruction manual. Solutions to
many common problems can be found there.
The mowing schedule can be affected by turning the mower off at the switch on the deck. If the
mower has been switched off in this way, please return the mower to the lawn, turn it on and
start it again at the time of day that mowing is desired to take place.
If the mower is fully charged, unresponsive (i.e. does not beep when the on/off switched is
pressed) and there are no lights on the control pad, please contact us (link)
