Problem
Encountered
Probable Cause/Event
Corrective/User Action
-
Wire disconnected from perimeter
switch or from the Base Station.
-
Confirm wire is plugged in and wire leads
are firmly attached.
-
Perimeter wire cut
-
Walk along perimeter, including islands and
look for obvious cuts or breaks in the wire.
Repair with Robomow wire splice
connectors.
'Cut wire’
indicator
flashing on
Perimeter Switch
or
the Base Station
beeps continuously
for
'Cut wire’
-
Poor connections
-
Check and repair all loose/poor or corroded
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.
-
Use the connectors supplied in the box. It is
waterproof and gives a reliable electrical
connection.
‘Poor connection’
indicator flashing on
Perimeter Switch
or
the Base Station
beeps intermittently
for poor wire
splicing or too long
wire
-
Perimeter wire too long for one zone
-
A maximum perimeter wire length of 500 m
is recommended. Areas requiring longer
lengths should be broken into separate
zones.
Robomow doesn’t
complete the edge
-
Peculiar geometry of the perimeter
-
Perform ‘Learn edge (refer to 2.1.2.2)
-
Mower is in deep sleep.
-
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.
Robomow will not
operate and nothing
will display on the
LCD screen.
-
Batteries have been discharged from
lack of charge maintenance.
-
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.
The Robomow is
noisy and vibrates
-
Damaged or unbalanced blade
-
Check the lawn is free from branches,
stones or other objects that can damage the
blade before operating the Robomow.
-
Replace the blade
-
Grass is too high in relation to the set
cutting height
-
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.
-
Grass is wet
-
For best cut, operate Robomow when the
grass is dry. It is recommended to mow
grass early afternoon.
-
Dull blade
-
Replace blade.
-
Robomow works too few operations
-
Use the Robomow more often per week
Poor quality of
mowing (grass
clippings are left on
the lawn)
or
Uneven mowing
results
-
Working area is too large
-
Limit the working area
