The device is a Lawn Mowing Robot, referred to as "GOAT," designed for mowing grass in various settings such as parks, private villa yards, and football fields. It incorporates numerous built-in safety sensors to mitigate risks, though some residual risks are acknowledged and described in the manual.

Function Description:

The GOAT is an intelligent lawn mower that autonomously navigates and mows lawns. It uses a combination of sensors for environmental perception, mapping, positioning, and obstacle avoidance. The device can operate in different mowing modes, including auto mowing (mowing the whole lawn) and edge mowing (mowing along the boundary, including No-Entry Zones). It also features a "spot-guarding" function. The GOAT can be controlled and monitored via an accompanying App, which is used for mapping, editing maps, and setting schedules. It is equipped with a cutting system that includes blades for grass trimming.

  • Take out old Dry Cells and replace with new ones.
  • Refer to "INSTALL THE NAVIGATION BEACON-Assemble the Navigation Beacon" for reassembly.
  • Frequency: Replace when the App prompts.
• Cleaning:
  • Blade Disc, Chassis, Off-road Wheels, Front Wheels:
    • Power off GOAT.
    • Cover the panoramic camera and lay the signal receiver down.
    • Gently turn GOAT over on a soft surface.
    • Clean the Blade Disc and chassis with a brush.
    • Check that the Blade Disc and blades can rotate freely.
    • Clear mud from Off-road Wheels and Front Wheels with a brush for grip.
    • DO NOT use a high-pressure washer, as water can damage electronic and mechanical parts.
  • Other Components: Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid cleaning sprays or detergents.
• Navigation Beacon Check:
  • If the tilt angle exceeds 10°, reinstall firmly to the ground at the original position.
  • Clear away any branches or tendrils that may cause signal interference.

Storage Over Winter:

• GOAT: Power off after full charge, clean thoroughly, and store in a cool, well-ventilated, dry place indoors.
• Station: Unplug Power Supply from socket and disconnect from Station. Store Station and Power Supply in a cool, well-ventilated, dry place away from direct sunlight. Note: Reinstalling the Station in its original position is crucial for new season operation to avoid location faults and map invalidation.
• Navigation Beacon: Turn counterclockwise until projection points align, then remove from the Navigation-assisted Pole. Store in a cool, well-ventilated, dry place indoors.
