• Use the operating mode
Park
or turn off the robotic
lawnmower when persons, especially children or
pets, are in the cutting area. It is recommended to
program the lawnmower for use during hours when
the area is free from activity, e.g. at night. See
Advanced on page 23
.
• The robotic lawnmower may only be operated,
maintained and repaired by persons that are fully
conversant with its special characteristics and safety
regulations. Please read the Operator’s Manual
carefully and make sure you understand the
instructions before using the robotic lawnmower.
• It is not permitted to modify the original design of the
robotic lawnmower. All modifications are made at
your own risk.
• Check that there are no stones, branches, tools,
toys or other objects on the lawn that can damage
the blades. Objects on the lawn can also lead to the
robotic lawnmower getting stuck in them and help
may be required to remove the object before the
mower can continue mowing. Always turn off the
robotic lawnmower using the ON/OFF button before
clearing a blockage..
• Start the robotic lawnmower according to the
instructions. When the robotic lawnmower is turned
on, make sure to keep your hands and feet away
from the rotating blades. Never put your hands and
feet under the robotic lawnmower.
• Never touch moving hazardous parts, such as the
blade disc, before it has come to a complete stop.
• Never lift up the robotic lawnmower or carry it
around when it is turned on.
• Do not let persons who do not know how the robotic
lawnmower works and behaves use it.
• The robotic lawnmower must never be allowed to
collide with persons or other living creatures. If a
person or other living creature comes in the
lawnmower’s way it shall be stopped immediately.
See
Advanced on page 23
.
• Do not put anything on top of the robotic lawnmower
or its charging station.
• Do not allow the robotic lawnmower to be used with
a defective guard, blade disc or body. Neither should
it be used with defective blades, screws, nuts or
cables. Never connect a damaged cable, or touch a
damaged cable before it is disconnected from the
supply.
• Do not use the robotic lawnmower if the ON/OFF
button does not work.
• Always switch off the robotic lawnmower using the
ON/OFF button when the robotic lawnmower is not
in use. The robotic lawnmower can only start when
the ON/OFF button has been turn on and the correct
PIN code has been entered.
• The robotic lawnmower must never be used at the
same time as a sprinkler. Use the schedule function
(see
Advanced on page 23
) so the mower and
sprinkler never run simultaneously.
• GARDENA does not guarantee full compatibility
between the robotic lawnmower and other types of
wireless systems such as remote controls, radio
transmitters, hearing loops, underground electric
animal fencing or similar.
• Metal objects in the ground (for example reinforced
concrete or anti-mole nets) can result in a stoppage.
The metal objects can cause interference with the
loop signal which then can lead to a stoppage.
• The robotic lawnmower must never be stored,
operated or charged in temperatures below 0 °C or
above 50 °C. This might cause damage to the
product.
2.3.2 How to lift and move the robotic lawnmower
To safely move from or within the working area:
1. Press the STOP button to stop the robotic
lawnmower. If security is set to high level (see
Security level on page 25
) the PIN code has to be
entered. The PIN code contains four digits and is
selected when you start the robotic lawnmower for
the first time. See
First start-up on page 20
.
2. Press the ON/OFF button and make sure the robotic
lawnmower is turned off. Check that the indicator
lamp on the ON/OFF button is not lit. This means
