results
Probable Cause/Event Corrective/User Action
- Wire disconnected from perimeter
switch or from the Base Station.
- Perimeter wire cut
- Poor connections
- Twisted cables, or a screw terminal,
insulated with insulation tape is not a
satisfactory splice. Soil moisture
causes the conductors to oxidize and
after a while result in broken circuit.
- Perimeter wire too long for one zone
- Confirm wire is plugged in and wire leads
are firmly attached.
- Walk along perimeter, including islands and
look for obvious cuts or breaks in the wire.
Repair with Robomow wire splice
connectors.
- Check and repair all loose/poor or corroded
connections.
- Use the connectors supplied in the box. It is
waterproof and gives a reliable electrical
connection.
- A maximum perimeter wire length of 500 m
is recommended. Areas requiring longer
lengths should be broken into separate
zones.
- Peculiar geometry of the perimeter - Perform ‘Learn edge (refer to 2.1.2.2)
- Mower is in deep sleep.
- Batteries have been discharged from
lack of charge maintenance.
- Damaged or unbalanced blade
- Grass is too high in relation to the set
cutting height
- Grass is wet
- If not connected to the Base Station/charger
at all times when not in use, the Robomow
will conserve power by entering into a deep
sleep mode. Press the main switch button
(on/off) 3 seconds continuously to wake
Robomow or remove the fuse for 3
seconds.
- It is required for the charger to remain
connected to Robomow when not in use.
Failure to do so can cause permanent
damage to the batteries. Contact your
service provider.
- Check the lawn is free from branches,
stones or other objects that can damage the
blade before operating the Robomow.
- Replace the blade
- Dull blade - Replace blade.
- Robomow works too few operations
per week
- It is recommended to cut not more than a
1/3 of the green part of the grass.
- Set the cutting height to a higher position
- Use Robomow more frequently to maintain
your lawn.
- For best cut, operate Robomow when the
grass is dry. It is recommended to mow
grass early afternoon.
- Update the weekly program for more
operations per week.
- Working area is too large - Limit the working area
