Thank you for choosing the LawnMaster® VBRM16 robotic lawnmower. This mower will
independently mow the lawn in a random pattern without the use of a boundary wire and charging
station and will operate during daylight hours only. The mower detects grass in order to know
where to mow, and is also equipped with ultrasonic sensors which detect higher obstacles such
as paving, or raised edges. When the mower does not detect grass or encounters an obstacle, it
changes route in a random manner and starts mowing again in a new direction. The mower can be
manual.
The mower uses a detachable MX 24V battery which is compatible with all products in the
LawnMaster® 24V range. It is designed to be used once or twice a week for several hours, and
then stored away in a garage or shed until it is needed again. It will mow approximately 100m²
on a single charge depending on lawn conditions. Excessively long or wet grass may impact
performance, it is therefore important to maintain a regular mowing schedule to keep on top of

on by default setting and will sense plants, shrubs and other obstacles in and around the edges
of the lawn. For a consistent cut, long grass must be cut down before mowing, or the ultrasonic
sensors must be turned off.
The ultrasonic sensors can be turned off when the lawn to be mowed is clear of obstacles. In this
case, hedges, walls, or other similar barriers in the lawn can be used as the border of the working
area.

ASSEMBLY
When the robotic mower detects that there is no grass or encounters an obstacle, it changes route
in a random manner and starts mowing again in a new direction. To allow the robotic mower to
move freely inside the lawn, the lawn must be properly checked and adjusted so that the robotic
