Chapter 6 – Robomow Operation

6.1 

Automatic Operation

o 

Once the One-Time Setup is finished, Robomow will be set to perform automatically the following cycle of 

mowing operations:

- 

 When the battery is fully charged, Robomow will automatically depart from the Base Station.

- 

It will mow the lawn.

- 

It will start searching for the Base Station, when the battery level gets low (Robomow will not mow when 

it is searching for the Base Station). 

- 

It will recharge the battery and get ready for the next scheduled operation.

- 

It will continue mowing until it completes the required number of mowing hours (end of a Mowing Cycle).

Note:

 Robomow mows the Edge of the entire lawn only on the first mowing operation of each Mowing Cycle. 

In the rest of operations Robomow mows the lawn without the Edge. When Mowing Frequency (p001 in 

Section 6.4.2) is set to HIGH, Robomow will mow the Edge twice a week.

o 

The required mowing time for a single mowing cycle is automatically derived from the Area setting for your 

lawn. 

o 

In case the required mowing time within a mowing cycle needs to be adjusted (increased/decreased) to 

achieve better mowing results, it can be done using the 

Mowing Hours 

menu – see Section 6.4.2. 

o 

Robomow usually performs several consecutive mowing operations until it completes a full mowing cycle 

required for the lawn. After completing a mowing cycle Robomow will rest until the next cycle should begin. 

The interval between mowing cycles is defined by the 

Mowing Frequency 

menu – see Section 6.4.2. The 

default setting is to perform two complete mowing cycles per week (Medium Mowing Frequency)

o 

Robomow stays in the Base Station during the default 

Inactive Time

 (All day Sunday and nighttime daily 

23:00 to 06:00). Inactive Time may be changed – see Section 6.4.1.3.

Note!

Robomow has the power to mow high grass. However when mowing high grass during the first use or the first 

mowing of the season, initially you will see uneven patches of grass.
Please be patient as it may take a few days to one week to overcome and bring the lawn to an even height and 

consistency.
