4.4 Stop
1. Press the STOP button.
The robotic lawnmower stops, the blade motor stops
and the hatch opens.
4.5 Switch off
1. Press the STOP button.
2. Set the main switch to position
0
.
Always switch the robotic lawnmower off using the main
switch if it requires maintenance or if the robotic
lawnmower must be moved outside the working area.
4.6 Timer and Standby
Use the timer function (see
Timer on page 21
) to avoid
a downtrodden lawn.
4.6.1 Standby
The robotic lawnmower has an inbuilt standby period
according to the Standby time table. The standby period
provides for instance a good opportunity to water or play
games on the lawn.

4.6.2 Setting the timer
When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic
lawnmower mows about the amount of the number of
square meters per hour and day listed in table Work
capacity.

If the working area is for example 360 m
2
in size, ROB
R1000 must operate for 7,5 hours a day. The times are
approximate and depend for instance on grass quality,
blade sharpness and battery age.
WARNING: Use the timer to avoid mowing
when there are usually children, pets and
anything else that could be damaged by the
rotating blades on the lawn.
The factory setting for the timer is 07:00-23:00 and it
allows mowing every day of the week. This setting is
suitable for the listed maximum working area.
If the size of the working area allows it, the quality of the
grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day
instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass
benefits from resting completely during at least a three-
day period once a month.
4.6.3 Example 1
The times used in this example are applicable to ROB
R600, but the principle is the same for other models.
Timer setting,
Period 1
: 07:00 - 23:00
Active period (A): 07:00-20:00
The factory setting ensures that the robotic lawnmower
begins cutting the lawn at 07:00. However the mower is
parked in standby mode in the charging station from
20:00 and rests until it starts cutting again at 07:00.
If the timer setting is divided into 2 work periods, the
standby period can be divided into a number of periods.
The minimum standby period time must however be
according to the Standby time table.
