GENERAL MACHINE DESCRIPTION
This machine is a robot that auto-
matically mows the grass in your
garden.
It is small, compact, silent and
easy to transport.
It can freely move within an en-
closed area, detecting the signal
transmitted by the perimeter ca-
ble located on the ground all
around the area to be mowed; it
can also work without a perime-
ter cable as long as the working
area is enclosed by a fence at
least 10 cm. high.
When work autonomy has ex-
pired (see technical specifica-
tions), the robot returns to the
base to automatically recharge
the batteries. When this opera-
tion is over, the machine restarts
mowing.
It follows a "random" pattern, with
no fixed plan; periodically and ran-
domly, the spiral function, particu-
larly efficient on obstacle free
areas, is activated.
It covers an area of up to 3000 m2;
two or more robots can work simul-
taneously to cover a wider area.
According to the various operat-
ing requirements, the robot can
be produced in several models
whose differences are indicated
in the technical specifications.
It is equipped with a keyboard with
a user-friendly and easy-to-program dis-
play. It can operate day and night; only
working time start and finish including
work days for intended use need to be
set.
If the lawn mower is lifted or overturned
the blade stops to prevent hazards to
people and/or pets.

When the lawn mower intercepts
the perimeter cable signal or col-
lides with the fence, it stops and
moves immediately backwards
changing direction.
If the garden path is level with the
lawn and free of obstacles, it is
not necessary to delimit it.
If the crossing lane forms a step
it must be bordered.
Do not delimit trees, fences or
other objects that can tolerate
the impact with the frame.
If obstacles that can support the
body's collision are surrounded
by flower beds or roots that can
obstruct the lawn mower func-
tion or damage it, they must be
bordered.

Working area with perimeter cable
Before installing the cable, decide
the best location for the recharg-
ing base and the transformer
(see p. 16).
The cable can be placed at ground
level or underground. The signal
quality and intensity could be com-
promised if cables are under-
ground, as a matter of fact, with
the cable at ground level the lawn
mower detects the signal at a dis-
tance of 650÷750 cm., while with
a cable 40 cm. underground this
distance is reduced to 450 cm. For fur-
ther information contact your dealer.
Start placing the cable from the point es-
tablished for the recharging base and
continue along the perimeter of the area
following the ground irregularity. To allow
the lawn mower to correctly enter the
recharging base, the input end of the ca-
ble must be straight and perpendicular
for at least 2 meters, and the output end
of the cable must end at least 30 cm.
away from the recharging base.
Important
If the cable is placed at ground level, it
must not be exceedingly taut and it
must be secured with the proper nails
supplied.
The illustration provides a typical
installation example.
Important
Respect the rotation direction
around flower beds (counter
clockwise).
Example: separate working area installation
It is at times advisable to divide the work-
ing area into separate areas, as in the
following cases:
– when lawns are not connected;
– when one area is considerably larger
than the other and the two areas are
connected by a passage that is too
narrow.

In these cases, the recharging
base must be positioned in the
larger area, connecting the perim-
eter cable to the secondary area
with a passage, bearing in mind
that the distance between the two
cables must not be below 70 cm.
It will be like a ”separate working
area”; to mow the secondary ar-
ea, the lawn mower must be pro-
grammed accordingly (see
“Managing secondary areas”).
Example: closed separate working area installation
In case of closed working areas
separated by a fence or other ob-
stacles that block the lawn mow-
er passage, both areas can be
connected as shown in the figure.
To mow the secondary area, the
lawn mower must be manually
transferred (see instructions on
p. 22).
Note: if the main area cannot be connect-
ed with the closed secondary area, an ad-
ditional recharging base can be bought for
the secondary area.
According to certain conditions
(ex.: border walls, hedges, etc.),
the perimeter cable must be in-
stalled at an adequate distance;
illustrations show the installation
distances of some typical condi-
tions.
If the cable is placed near hedges,
plant growth should be consid-
ered beyond the indicated 30
cm., or else provide periodical
pruning. IDM - 41500902800.tif

If mowing is required up to the limits
of the area - with paving limits level
with the lawn - position the perime-
ter cable at a distance of 5 cm.
Example of flower bed limits: re-
duce the distance between the
cables to a minimum.
Minimum passage area: 2 m.
If public areas are at the lawn lev-
el (e.g. roads, water bodies, etc.),
it is advisable to increase the bor-
der distance to 40 cm., or to bor-
der areas with a barrier at least
15 cm high (e.g. fence, wall) to
prevent the lawn mower from go-
ing beyond the perimeter cable.

To avoid interference to the cable
signal, keep it away from metallic
objects (metallic drains or normal
drains with electrical connections
inside). Use specific clamps to
add junctions, if necessary.
Important
Do not use insulating tape.
Work area without perimeter cable and automatic return
If the area is bordered by a wall
or a fence at least 10 cm. high,
the lawn mower can work with-
out a perimeter cable.
Decide the best position for the
recharging base and the trans-
former (see p. 16).
The cable can be placed at
ground level or underground.
The signal quality and intensity
could be compromised laying
cables underground, as a mat-
ter of fact, with the cable at
ground level the lawn mower
detects the signal at a distance
of 650÷750 cm., while with a
cable 40 cm. underground this
distance is reduced to 450 cm.
For further information contact your
dealer.
Install the cable respecting distances in-
dicated in the figure.
To allow the lawn mower to correctly en-
ter the recharging base, the input end of
the cable must be in straight and per-
pendicular.
Important
If the cable is placed at ground level, it
must not be exceedingly taut and it
must be secured with the proper nails
supplied.
To mow the area, program the lawn
mower selecting "no perimeter" from
the menu (see p. 26).

Work area without perimeter cable and manual return
If the area is bordered by a wall or
a fence at least 10 cm. high, the
lawn mower can work without a
perimeter cable.
To mow the area, program the
lawn mower selecting "no perim-
eter" from the menu (see p. 26)
and press the start button; once
the working time is over the lawn
mower stops without searching
the recharging base.
To recharge batteries, manually
move the lawn mower to the
main area.
Setting the rapid return to the recharging base
Some settings can be done along
the perimeter cable that allow
the lawn mower to change direc-
tions reducing the distance cov-
ered and the time to return to the
charging base.
To do so, an equilateral triangle of
35 cm. should be formed with
the perimeter cable. The illustra-
tion shows some useful indica-
tions to determine the right
location of the setting for the rap-
id return to the charging base.
Note: when the lawn mower follows the
perimeter to reach a secondary area it
does not consider the settings for a rapid
return.
Important
If the setting for a rapid return
is incorrectly placed, the lawn mower
may not be able to return to the re-
charging base.

Installation of transformer and recharging base
The transformer must be protected
from weather conditions, possibly by an
adequately insulating cover (e.g. IP67), it
must be kept away from children and
connected to the electric power line. In-
stallation must be carried out correctly
and according to current legislation.
To connect the transformer to the pow-
er supply line, a standard electric plug is
needed.
Danger - Attention
The transformer connection to
the recharging base must be
performed with the power sup-
ply disconnected.
Important
The distance between the trans-
former and the garage or perim-
eter cable should not be less
than 3 meters and the cables
should never be entangled.
The best position for the recharg-
ing base is at the limit of the work-
ing area, on a flat, stable surface,
with good drainage to avoid flood-
ing.
