SAFETY DEVICES
1. Obstacle detector
The bumper sensor is activated if the robot strikes a solid object greater than 10 cm (3.94 ") in height, which stops the movement
in that direction and moves backwards to avoid the obstacle.
2. Inclinometer
If the robot works on a slope which is steeper than the maximum limit, or tips over, the robot will stop the cutting blade.
3. Emergency stop switch
Located on the upper part of the robot with the word "STOP" larger than the other commands on the keypad. Pressing this button
at any time during operation will immediately stop the movement of the lawn mower robot and the rotation of the blade will stop.
4. Over-current protection
Each motor (blade and wheels) is monitored continuously during operation for any situation that may cause them to overheat. If
this occurs in the wheel motor, the robot will attempt to move in the opposite direction. If the over-current persists, the robot will
stop and signal an error. If the cutting blade motor overheats, there are two intervention ranges. If the parameters fall within the
rst range, the robot will perform the manoeuvres to unblock the cutting blade. If the over-current is below the protection range,
the robot will stop and signal a motor error.
5. No signal sensor
If there is no signal, the robot will automatically stop.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is a robot designed and built to automatically trim
grass in gardens and house lawns at any time of the day or night.
It is small, compact, silent and easy to transport.
Depending on the characteristics of the surface to be trimmed,
the robot can be programmed to work on more than one area: a
primary area and secondary areas (according to the specications
of the various models).
During operation, the robot trims the area marked off by the
perimeter wire.
When the robot detects the perimeter wire or encounters an
obstacle, it changes direction in a random manner and starts
mowing again in a new direction. The robot does not cross the
perimeter wire for a distance greater than half its length.
According to its operating principle random, the robot automatically
trims the entire delimited area of the lawn (see gure).
The robot is able to recognise the presence of higher and/or thicker
grass in an area of the garden and to automatically activate, if
considered necessary, the spiral movement for a perfect nish.
The spiral movement can also be activated by pressing “ENTER”
while the robot is mowing.
The lawn surface that the robot is able to trim depends on a series
of factors, such as:
• model of the robot and type of batteries installed;
• characteristics of the area (irregular perimeters, uneven
surfaces, divided areas, etc.);
• characteristics of the lawn (type and height of the grass,
moisture, etc.);
• conditions of the blade (level of sharpness, without residuals
and deposits, etc.);

INSTALLATION
PACKING AND UNPACKING
The equipment is delivered suitably packaged. When unpacking, carefully remove and check the integrity of the parts.
Warning – Caution
Keep plastic wrapping and plastic containers away from infants and children: risk of suffocation!
Important
Keep the packaging materials for future use.
PLANNING OF SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The robot is not difcult to install, but requires some preliminary planning in order to nd the best area for installing the charging
station, power supply unit and for laying out the perimeter wire.
• The charging station must be positioned on the edge of the
lawn, preferably in the largest area from which other areas of
the lawn are easily accessible. The area where the charging
station is installed is hereinafter referred to as the “Primary
Area.”
Warning – Caution
Position the power supply unit in an area that
cannot be reached by children. For example, at a
height above 160 cm (63 ").
Warning – Caution
Make sure only authorised people have access to
the power supply.

Warning – Caution
When connecting the electricity, it is necessary that a power outlet is positioned near the installation area.
Make sure the connection to the mains power complies with the applicable laws. To operate in complete
safety, make sure the electrical system, which is connected to the power supply unit, is equipped with a well-
functioning earthing system. The supply circuit shall be protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a
tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
Important
It is advisable to install the unit in a cabinet for electric components (for outdoor or indoor use), equipped
with a key lock, and well-ventilated to maintain a correct air circulation.
• The robot must be able to easily nd the charging station at the end of the work cycle, which will also be the starting point for
a new work cycle and for reaching any other work areas, hereinafter referred to as “Secondary Areas.”.
• Position the charging station according to these rules:
-on level ground;
-on compact and stable ground with good drainage;
-preferably in the widest part of the lawn;
-in case of sprinklers, make sure the water jets are not directed inside the charging station;
-make sure the entrance of the charging station is positioned as shown in the gure, so that the robot can enter it by
following the perimeter wire in a clockwise direction;
-there must be a straight area of 200 cm (78,74 ") in front of the charging station;
-any metal bars or rails separating the lawn near the station may interfere with the signal. Position the station on a different
side of the garden or at a safe distance from the metal barrier. For more information, please contact the Manufacturer’s
Technical Service Centre or an authorised dealer.
• The charging station must be well fastened to the ground. To prevent a small step from forming at the front of the charging
station, position a small piece of fake grass at its entrance to stop this from occurring. Alternatively, remove part of the grassy
surface and install the charging station ush with the grass.
