PRESENTATION 2 Presentation This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation. Installing a robotic lawnmower involves four main components: • A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by essentially operating in a random pattern. The robotic lawnmower is powered by a maintenance-free battery. • A charging station, to where the robotic lawnmower automatically returns when the charge level in the battery becomes too low.

PRESENTATION 2.2 Package content Your GARDENA robotic mower package will include the following parts.
PRESENTATION Mowing technique The cutting system in the robotic lawnmower is based on an efficient and energy saving principle. Unlike many standard lawnmowers, the robotic lawnmower cuts the grass instead of knocking it off. We recommend you allow the robotic lawnmower to mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result. GARDENA’s robotic lawnmowers can also mow in the rain, however, wet grass easily sticks on the robotic lawnmower and there is a greater risk of slipping on steep slopes.
PRESENTATION The STOP button on the top of the robotic lawnmower is mainly used to stop the robotic lawnmower when it’s running. When the STOP button is pressed a hatch opens, behind which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains pressed in until the hatch is closed again. This together with the START button acts as a start inhibitor. 3018-202 The control panel on the top of the robotic lawnmower is where you manage all the robotic lawnmower settings.
INSTALLATION 3 Installation This chapter describes how to install the robotic lawnmower. Before starting the installation read the previous chapter 2. Presentation. Read also through this entire chapter before beginning the installation. How the installation is done also affects how well the robotic lawnmower works. It is therefore important to plan the installation carefully. Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the working area, including all obstacles.
INSTALLATION 4. Check that all parts for the installation are included. The numbers in brackets refer to the component illustration. See 2.1 What is what? on page 11.
INSTALLATION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free space in front of it (at least 3 metres). It should also be centrally placed in the working area to make it easier for the robotic lawnmower to reach all areas in the working area. Do not put the charging station in confined spaces in the working area. This can make it difficult for the robotic mower to find the charging station. he charging station must be positioned on relatively level ground.
INSTALLATION Connecting the power supply Take the following into consideration when planning where to place the power supply: • Close to the charging station • Protection from rain • Protection from direct sunlight If the power supply is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this must be approved for outdoor use. 3012-1352 The low voltage cable for the power supply is 10 metres long, and may not be shortened or extended.
INSTALLATION Do not, under any circumstances, mount the power supply at a height where there is a risk it can be submerged in water (at least 30 cm from the ground). It is not permitted to place the power supply on the ground. Never connect the power supply to a outlet if plug or cord is damaged. Damaged or entangled cord increase the risk of electric shock.
INSTALLATION 3.3 Charging the battery As soon as the charging station is connected, it is possible to charge the robotic lawnmower. Set the main switch to position 1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery while the boundary and guide wires are being laid. If the battery is flat , it takes around 80 to 100 minutes to fully charge it. 3018-217 IMPORTANT INFORMATION The robotic lawnmower cannot be used before the installation is complete.
INSTALLATION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire Ensure correct installation of the boundary wire according to the instruction The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: • Secure the wire to the ground with pegs. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during the first few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will have grown over the wire making it no longer visible.
INSTALLATION Working area boundaries If a high obstacle (5 cm or more), for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear. About 20 cm of the lawn around the fixed obstacle will not be mown.
INSTALLATION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to isolate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example flowerbeds, bushes and fountains. Lay the wire up to and around the area to be isolated, and then return it back along the same route. If pegs are used, the wire should be laid under the same pegs on the return route.
INSTALLATION Passages when mowing Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 1.5 to 2 metres should be avoided. When the robotic lawnmower mows, there is a risk that it travels around in the passage or area for a long period of time. The lawn will then look flattened. Slopes 10% The robotic lawnmower can also operate on sloping working areas. The maximum gradient is defined as percentage units (%). The slope as a percentage is calculated as the difference in elevation in centimetres for every metre.
INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire If you intend to peg down the boundary wire: • Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid. It will then be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and the risk of the robotic lawnmower cutting the wire or damaging the insulation of the wire is reduced. • Make sure to lay the boundary wire close to the ground and secure the pegs close together.
INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station On its way toward the charging station, the boundary wire can be laid completely outside the charging station (see option 1 in the figure). If there is a need to partly locate the charging station outside the working area, it is also possible to lay the wire under the charging station plate (see option 2 in the figure).
INSTALLATION 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: IMPORTANT INFORMATION The boundary wire must not be crossed when connecting it to the charging station. The right hand wire end must be connected to the right hand pin on the charging station and the left hand wire end to the left pin. 1. Place the wire ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. 3012-284 2. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
INSTALLATION 3.6 Installation of the guide wire The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary loop. The same cable roll is used for both the boundary loop and guide wire. The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to find its way back to the charging station but also to guide the robotic lawnmower to hard-to reach areas of the garden.
INSTALLATION Laying and connecting the guide wire 1. Before laying and connecting the guide wire, it is important to give consideration to the length of the guide loop, especially in large or complex installations. If the guide loop is longer than 400 metres the robotic lawnmower can have difficulty following the guide wire. The guide wire together with the section of the boundary loop that makes up the return wire to the charging station is called the guide loop.
INSTALLATION If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on the slope. 3018-061 Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can make it difficult for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire. 135º 135º 90º 3012-1327 6. Run the guide wire to the point on the boundary loop where the guide wire is to be connected. Lift up the boundary wire.
INSTALLATION 3.7 Checking the installation Check the loop signal by inspecting the indicator lamp on the charging station. • Solid green light = good signals. • Flashing green light = the loop system is turned off and the robotic lawnmower is in ECO mode. See 6.8 Settings on page 56. • Flashing blue light = interruption in the boundary loop, no signal. • Flashing red light = interruption in the charging station’s antenna plate. The fault should be rectified by an authorized service technician.
INSTALLATION 3.8 First start-up and calibration Before the robotic lawnmower is operated, a start-up sequence in the robotic lawnmower’s menu must be carried out as well as an automatic calibration of the guide signal. 1. Open the control panel hatch by pressing the STOP button. 2. Set the main switch to position 1. A start-up sequence begins when the robotic lawnmower is started for the first time. The following is requested: • Language. • Country. • Date. • Time.
INSTALLATION 4. Check that the robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire all the way to the charging station and that it docks with the charging station. The test is approved only if the robotic lawnmower is able to follow the guide wire the entire distance to the charging station and docks at the first attempt. If the robotic lawnmower is unable to dock on the first attempt, it will automatically try again.
USE 4 Use 4.1 Charging a flat battery When the GARDENA robotic lawnmower is new or has been stored for a long period, the battery will be flat and needs to be charged before starting. 1. Set the main switch to position 1. 2. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station. Open the cover and slide the robotic lawnmower in as far as possible to ensure proper contact between the robotic lawnmower and the charging station. 3018-217 3. The display shows a message that charging is in progress.
USE 4.2 Using the timer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on page 44) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the maximum service life from the robotic lawnmower.
USE 4.3 Standby The robotic lawnmower has a built-in standby period according to the Standby time table. The standby period provides a good opportunity to e.g. water or play games on the lawn. R100Li, R130Li, R100LiC R130LiC R160Li Standby time, hours per day2 7 5 1 Example 1 The times used in this example are applicable to GARDENA R130Li and R130LiC, but the principle is the same for the other models. 24 h B Standby Work period 1: 00:00 - 19:00. Work days: All days.
USE 4.4 Starting 1. Press the STOP button to open the control panel hatch. 2. Set the main switch to position 1. 3. Enter the PIN code. 4. Push the START button. 5. Make the required operation selection. See 5.1 Operation selection Start on page 40. 6. Shut the hatch within 10 seconds. If the robotic lawnmower is parked in the charging station, it will only leave the charging station when the battery is fully charged and if the timer is set to allow the mower to operate.
USE 4.7 Adjusting the cutting height The cutting height can be varied from MIN (2 cm) to MAX (6 cm) in nine stages. During the first week after a new installation, the cutting height must be set to MAX to avoid damaging the loop wire. After this, the cutting height can be lowered one step every week until the desired cutting height has been reached. If the grass is long, allow the robotic lawnmower to start mowing at the MAX cutting height.
CONTROL PANEL 5 Control panel All forms of commands and settings for the robotic lawnmower are made via the control panel. All functions are accessed via a number of menus. The control panel consists of a display and a keypad. All information is shown on the display and all input is done using the buttons.

MAINTENANCE 8 Maintenance For better operating reliability and longer service life: check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary. See 8.3 Cleaning on page 64 for more details on cleaning. When the robotic lawnmower is first used, the blade disc and blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount of wear during this period has been low, the inspection interval can be increased. It is important that the blade disc rotates easily.
MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT INFORMATION The battery must be charged fully before winter storage. If the battery is not fully charged it can be damaged and in certain cases be rendered useless. Check the condition of wear items such as blades and bearings in the front wheels. Rectify if necessary to make sure the robotic lawnmower is in good condition prior to next season. Store the robotic lawnmower standing on all four wheels in a dry, frost-free environment.
MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT INFORMATION Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean the robotic lawnmower. Never use solvents for cleaning. 3012-271 Chassis and blade disc 1. Set the main switch to position 0. 2. Wear protective gloves. 3. Lift the robotic lawnmower onto its side. 4. Clean the blade disc and chassis using e.g. a dish brush. If long blades of grass or other objects find their way in, these may impede the blade disc.
MAINTENANCE 8.4 Transport and moving Secure the machine during transport. It is important that the robotic lawnmower does not move when it is being transported, for instance, between lawns. The contained lithium-ion-batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, forwarding agents, special requirement on packaging and labeling must be observed.
MAINTENANCE To replace the blades: 1. Set the main switch to position 0. 2. Wear protective gloves. 3. Turn the robotic lawnmower upside down. 3018-213 3012-272 4. Remove the three screws. Use a straight slot or cross-tip screwdriver. 5. Remove the blade and the screw. 6. Screw on the new blade and the new screw. Check that the blades can pivot freely. 8.
MAINTENANCE 8.8 Battery The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited service life of 2 to 4 years. Battery service life is dependent on the length of the season and how many hours a day the robotic lawnmower is used. A long season or many hours of use per day means that the battery must be replaced more regularly. Only charge the battery in the included charging station. Always use the original power supply unit.
TROUBLESHOOTING 9 Troubleshooting In this chapter, a number of messages are listed which may be shown in the display if there is a malfunction. There is a proposal as to the cause and steps to take for each message. This chapter also presents some symptoms that can guide you if the robotic lawnmower does not work as expected. More suggestions for steps to take in the event of malfunction or symptoms can be found on www.gardena.com. 9.
TROUBLESHOOTING Trapped The robotic lawnmower has got caught in something. Free the robotic lawnmower and rectify the reason for it becoming trapped. The robotic lawnmower is stuck behind a number of obstacles. Check if there are any obstacles which make it hard for the robotic lawnmower to move on from this location. The boundary wire connections to the charging station are crossed. Check that the boundary wire is connected correctly. The boundary wire is too close to the edge of the working area.
TROUBLESHOOTING The robotic lawnmower is set to the Secondary area operating mode. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station. This behaviour is normal and no action is required. The timer setting prevents the robotic lawnmower from operating. Change the timer settings. See 6.3 Timer on page 44. The robotic lawnmower is currently in standby. The robotic lawnmower needs to be in the charging station for a few hours per day, depending on the model. This is normal and no action is required.
TROUBLESHOOTING Connectivity settings restored The connectivity settings was restored due to a fault. Please check and change the settings if needed. Poor signal quality The connectivity circuit board in the mower is assembled upside down, or the mower itself is tilted or upside down. Verify the mower is not upside down or tilted. If not, the message requires action by authorized service technician. 9.
TROUBLESHOOTING 9.3 Indicator lamp in the charging station For a fully functional installation, the indicator lamp in the charging station must emit a solid green light. If something else appears, follow the troubleshooting guide below. There is more troubleshooting help on www.gardena.com. If you still need help with troubleshooting, please contact GARDENA Central Service.
TROUBLESHOOTING Increase the working times. See 6.3 Timer on page 44. The robotic lawnmower works too few hours per day.
TROUBLESHOOTING 9.5 Finding breaks in the loop wire Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost, also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage the wire. Breaks can also be due to the wire being stretched excessively during installation. Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can damage wire insulation.
TROUBLESHOOTING b) Put AL and G1 back in their original positions. Then switch AR and G1. If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green light, then the break is somewhere on the boundary wire between AR and the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black line in the illustration).
