2. PRESENTATION
Working method
Automower
®
automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The charging station sends out a signal that
Automower
®
can sense at a distance of 6 - 7 metres.
The mower starts to search for the charging station
when the battery charge becomes too low.
Automower
®
does not mow when it is searching for
the charging station.
When Automower
®
searches for the charging station
it uses one or more of three different search methods:
Irregular, Follow boundary wire and Follow guide
wire. For more information about the search
methods, see 2.3 Search method on page 15 and
Follow loop in (3-2-2) on page 53.
When the battery is charged the mower reverses,
turns around and leaves the charging station in a
randomly selected direction within the exit sector
90° - 270°.
To make it easier for Automower
®
to reach all parts of
the garden you can manually set how the mower will
leave the charging station, see 6.5 Installation (3) on
page 49.
When Automower
®
body hits an obstacle, the mower
reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, at the front and back on Automower
®
,
sense when the mower approaches the boundary
wire. Automower
®
overruns the wire by up to
27 centimetres before it turns. The overrun length
can be set, see Drive past wire (3-4-1) on page 57.
The STOP button on the top of Automower
®
is mainly
used to stop the mower when it’s running. When the
STOP button is pressed a cover opens, behind which
there is a control panel. The STOP button remains
depressed until the cover is closed again. This acts
as start inhibitor.
