1. How to manage ordinary Landroid
maintenance?
With minimal maintenance, your Landroid will operate smoothly, season after season
Your Landroid works hard and needs to be cleaned and checked from time to time. This section of our
guide helps you keep Landroid in good shape so it can last for years without troubles. Here’s how to
take care of your Landroid:
Keep it sharp
Landroid does not cut grass like other mowers. Its cutting blades are razor sharp on 2 edges and ro-
tate in both directions for maximum cutting capacity.
• The blade turning disc makes a clockwise and counterclockwise rotation at random to use both cut-
ting edges and minimise the frequency of replacing the blades
• Each cutting blade will last up to 2 months when it is programmed to mow every day
• Always check to see if the blades are chipped or damaged and replace them if they are
• When the cutting blades are dull and worn out, they should be replaced with the spare blades pro-
vided with your Landroid.
Spare blades are also available at your nearest Landroid retailer.
WARNING! Before cleaning, adjusting, or replacing the blades, turn your Landroid OFF and remove
the battery. Always wear protective gloves.
Replacing the Blades
1. Remove the battery
2. Gently flip the Landroid over
3. Take the screws o the blades with a screwdriver
4. Firmly screw on the new blades
5. Refit the battery
When fitting new blades, make sure you replace ALL the blades.
Always use new screws when fitting blades. This is important to ensure blade retention and balance
the blade turning disc. Failure to use new screws could cause serious injury
Attention: After screwing the blade to the blade disc, make sure the blade is able to spin freely.

Keep it clean
Your Landroid should be cleaned regularly. This helps keep it in good condition, especially removing
dirt, debris and the build-up of grass from daily mowing. Turn Landroid o before cleaning it. For extra
safety, remove the battery.
WARNING! DO NOT use a hose, high pressure washer or otherwise pour running water on your
Landroid. High pressure water can go inside the sealings and damage electronic and mechanical
parts.
Cleaning the upper body
• Clean with a spray bottle filled with water. Don’t use solvents or polishers
• Use a brush or a clean cloth to remove built-up dirt
Cleaning the bottom
• Flip Landroid upside down
• Remove debris and grass clippings using a brush to remove
• Be careful not to touch the blades with your hands. Wear gloves for protection
• Clean the blade disc, the chassis and the front wheel(s) thoroughly with a soft brush or moist rag
• Rotate the blade disc to ensure it rotates freely. Remove any obstructions. Remove any lodged
debris so that they don’t cause a crack in the blade disk. Even the tiniest crack eects mowing
performance
• Check the blades spin freely around the fixing screws. Remove any obstructions
Cleaning the drive wheels
• Remove mud from wheels with a brush in order to ensure good grip of the tread
Clearing the charging contacts
• Clean the contact pins located on the charging base and the charging strips located on the Landroid
using a cloth
• Periodically remove any build-up of grass clippings or debris around the contact pins and the
charging strips to ensure Landroid successfully charges each time

2. How to repair the boundary wire?
This tutorial will help you to proceed in case boundary wire is broken
Boundary wire can be repaired in dierent way, we suggest you to follow the one of the two listed
below taking in to account your personal skills.
Attention: it is not recommended to simply splice the boundary wire with insulating tape or use a
screw terminal block for connection. A broken circuit may occur after a period of time as soil moisture
can oxidize the wire.
How to repair boundary wire (beginners option)
You can encounter two cases: the wire is cut or the wire is damaged. In this second case, you must
cut and take away the damaged part.
Please read the steps below to proceed.
Then to proceed you will need:
A. the two waterproof boundary wire connectors that are in your Landroid box
B. a small piece of spare wire
Proceed as follows and remember to not strip anyone of the wires you will use.
1. Insert one end of the broken boundary wire into any hole of the connector

2. Use the small piece of new boundary wire and connect it to one of the two remaining holes on the
connector
3. Press the connector firmly by using a pair of pliers
4. Insert the other end of the spare wire and the other end of the boundary wire using the second
connector. Press the connector firmly by using a pair of pliers.
5. Proceed with burying again the boundary wire and secure it to the ground with a peg.
Alternatively, advanced users can tin the soldering wire, taking care to cover the wire with self-
amalgamating tape and eventually cover everything with an insulating tape.

5. Worx Landroid Spring awakening
Wake up! Follow these quick steps to make sure your Landroid is ready for the season.
Check the charging base
During the cold season, ants might have made a nest of your Landroid charging base. Unplug the base,
check it and clean it thoroughly with a brush. Also check that the base is still lying flat to ensure good
contact with the charging pins, as the ground might have become uneven due to winter rains and snow.
Check the boundary wire
The boundary wire might have got damaged or broken. Animals and shovels can cause harm to the
wire. If this is the case, Landroid might behave erratically or display errors such as “wire missing”. Please
refer to above “How to repair the boundary wire”.
Check blades
If you haven’t done that already, we advise you to replace your Landroid blades to ensure the best
mowing performance. Please refer to above “How to manage ordinary Landroid maintenance”
Check your Landroid
Depending on how often you’ve charged it during the winter season, your Landroid battery might not be
fully charged. It’s a good idea to put the mower on the charging base a few hours before the first work
session.
Update Landroid firmware
Landroid has rested during the cold season, but we have not. Make sure your robot is running the latest
firmware by following the instructions above “How to update Landroid firmware”.
Tidy up your lawn a bit
Before starting your mower, remove debris such as dead sticks, leaves and any other rubbish in your
lawn, so Landroid can work unhindered. Pay some attention to borders as well, as plants might have
grown over the boundary wire.
When to mow
Not too early, not too late. Mowing too soon might injure the grass and weaken its roots. Grass experts
recommend not to mow grass before it has grown at least 5cm long. If your grass is long, follow the
instructions at next step.

How to mow
It’s a good practice to set the cutting disc at maximum height in the beginning and then gradually
reduce it over the course of the weeks until the grass reaches the desired length. As a rule of thumb,
you should never cut more than one third of the grass blade height. This will serve several purposes:
taller grass blades will grow stronger roots, provide more shade to the soil, retain heat, prevent weeds
from growing, and the smaller clippings will decompose more easily.
New garden layout?
If you have made any modification to the layout of your lawn, such as creating a new flowerbed or
installing a brand-new trampoline, please remember that you will have to adjust your perimeter wire.

6. Worx Landroid winter maintenance
To make sure your Landroid will be in perfect shape for the next mowing season, please
follow these instructions.
Store your Landroid
Clean your Landroid thoroughly. Do not use high pressure washers, detergents, or water in general.
Compressed air, a cloth and some elbow grease are plenty enough.
Make sure the battery is fully charged and then turn OFF your Landroid.
Store your Landroid inside in a dry place, at a temperature above 0°C.
Please, if you enabled the lock function on your Landroid there are some precautions you need to take.:
Lock functioning
The “Lock” function serves the purpose of blocking the Landroid in case it gets stolen.
The lock function is enable via app on the main menu. Once the function has been enabled, it triggers
when Landroid isn’t able to communicate with the Wi-Fi network for 72 hours: the robot will get locked
and won’t work anymore.
If your Landroid gets accidentally locked (e.g. you experience a power outage, the router goes oine,
etc.), you’ll just have to bring the Wi-Fi back online and make sure the robot is connected to it.
Landroid winter storage
If you’re about to store your Landroid for the winter season, you should also disable the “Lock” function.
The robot will get locked after not being able to connect to the Wi-Fi. Should you modify your network
SSID/password in the mean time, you won’t be able to unlock it once spring comes.
Keep the battery charged
Batteries discharge much faster at cold temperature. If the charge level drops to zero, the battery may
get damaged. We recommend that you fully recharge the battery once every two months.
2019/2020 models equipped with a removable PowerShare battery
You can either place the mower on its charging station, or remove the battery and recharge it with a
Worx 20V PowerShare charger.
What about the charging base?
Your charging base is suitable to stay outside during wintertime. In case temperatures drop really low in
your area, we suggest you bring it inside. Disconnect the ends of the boundary wire and wrap them with
insulating tape to avoid oxidation.
