10 Automower from
1. Function
™
The Automower always attempts to keep the blade
disc at an even speed. Different degrees of power are
used for this depending on the length/thickness of the
grass. Automower compares the instantaneous power
with an average power value from the last 8
hours of
mowing. This means that, when Automower enters an
area where the lawn is longer/thicker than before, the
instantaneous power will differ from the average power
and the Automower will then start square mode cutting.
The limit value for when Automower should start
square mode cutting is set to 50% at the factory. The
limit value is adjustable from the menu Tools - Special
settings - Square mode cutt. (shortcut 5-6-1). A higher
value results in less square mode cutting.
The following conditions apply in order for Automower
to start square mode cutting:
1. Automower must be in AUTO-mode.
Square mode cutting is deactivated in MAN-mode.
2. Automower must have been in uninterrupted
operation (= the main switch set to ON) for at least
8
mowing hours, which represents an overall
running time (mowing+charge) of approximately
13-14 hours.
When the mower is switched off using the main
switch, and is left switched off for at least 4
hours,
this time counter is reset. When for example, the
Automower is switched off using the main switch
each night it will never, in principle, perform
square mode cutting.
3. The instantaneous power consumption to maintain
the speed of the blade disc must deviate from the
average power by the set factor (e.g. 50%).
Consequently, the lawn in one area must always
be longer/thicker than before.
When an Automower seems to perform square mode
cutting too often:
• The lawn in the working area is cut very short. This
means the average power is set very low and the
Automower will then start square mode cutting
more often/easier.
When an Automower rarely seems to perform square
mode cutting:
• The mower has been turned off using the main
switch for more than 4 hours, which has reset the
time counter.
• An object has wound itself around the skid plate or
the blade disc, which means the power
consumption has increased, and the Automower
then interprets this as the grass being
longer/thicker than before.
