2.2 Function of Automower™
Capacity
Automower Solar Hybrid is recommended for lawns up
to 0.6 acre.
The size of the area mown by the Solar Hybrid mainly
depends on the available sunlight, but also on the
condition of the blades, the type of grass, growth rate
and dampness. The shape of the garden is also
significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns,
Automower can mow more per hour than if the garden
consists of several small lawns separated by trees,
flower beds and passages.
Solar Hybrid is preferably used during daytime as the
solar cell panel then gives the mower increased
capacity and with that extended battery life and
reduced power consumption. In 12 hours of solely
daytime mowing the Solar Hybrid will mow lawns up to
approximately 0.35 acre
depending on the available
sunlight and the type of garden.
How long Automower mows and recharges can vary
depending on, among others, the ambient tempera-
ture. Up to about 77 °F a fully charged Automower
Solar Hybrid mows for approximately 40-80 minutes,
depending on the available sunlight, the age of the bat-
tery and the thickness of the grass. The mower then
charges for 45 - 60 minutes. Above 77 °F both the
mowing and charging times gradually drop.
Mowing technique
The mowing system used by Automower is based on
an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike
normal lawn mowers, Automower cuts the grass
instead of striking it off.
We recommend you allow Automower to mainly mow
in dry weather to obtain the best possible result.
Automower can even mow in the rain, however, wet
grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of
slipping on steep slopes is greater.
When there is a risk of thunder Automower should not
stand in the charging station. When there is a risk of a
thunder storm, the 120 V plug should be removed from
the mains socket and the boundary wire disconnected
from the charging station.
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the
best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp
for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn
free from branches, small stones and other objects.
