Setting up and starting your robot mower is quick and easy and this article covers everything you need. The start-up procedure varies for each model so ensure you follow the one suitable for your product.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


First, ensure your robot mower is all charged up

  • It is very important to ensure the robot mower is all charged up correctly. Please ensure that the LED next to the battery symbol on your robot has been flashing during charge and stops when fully charged.
  • Ensure that the charging station is placed onto flat even ground and clear any obstacles that may hinder the mower. Please also check that the boundary wire is all hooked up correctly, videos on this process are available down below with the relevant model. If you are still having issues you can find an article on how to set up your boundary correctly by clicking here.
  • Please note that when you have set your robot mower out to do its task for the day it will return to charge its battery. Once fully charged it will carry on its cut within the cutting time set. For a full explanation and guide on this please click here.


Tip: A flat battery requires a charging time of 100 minutes.
