The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. When the robotic lawnmower is allowed
to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened.
Besides, the robotic lawnmower is subjected to
unnecessary wear. If the working area is less than the
robotic lawnmower's area capacity, the quality of the
grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day
instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass
benefits from resting completely during at least a three-
day period once a month.
The timer function is also an ideal way to control which
periods the robotic lawnmower should not mow, for
example, when the children are playing in the garden.
The operating hours and days can been seen in an
overview on the robotic lawnmower’s display. Active
mowing per day is illustrated by a black bar. The rest of
the time, the robotic lawnmower is parked in the
charging station.
The factory timer setting is inactive, which means that
the robotic lawnmower will operate around the clock 7
days a week. This is normally a suitable setting for a
working area corresponding to the maximum capacity,
see
Timer and Standby on page 44
.
If the working area is less than maximum capacity then
the timer should be used to minimize wear on grass and
lawnmower. When setting the timer, calculate that the
robotic lawnmower mows about the number of square
meters per hour and day listed in table Work capacity.
See
To set the timer on page 44
.
The table below provides suggestions for different timer
settings depending on the size of the lawn. The times
should be seen as indicative. They may need to be
adjusted to suit the garden and for example grass
quality and growth during the season. Use the table as
follows:
• Find a work area that closest matches the size of the
lawn.
• Select an appropriate amount of work days (for
some work areas 7 days may be needed).
• Work hours per day shows how many hours a day
the robotic lawnmower will be allowed to work for the
selected amount of work days.
• Suggested time interval shows a time interval that
corresponds to the required work hours per day.
It is possible to configure 2 work periods a day. There
can be unique work periods in each day, but it is also
possible to copy the current day’s work period to all the
other days.
