⦁    Some reconnection issues with a mower (mostly in the Android version) may occur. Most reconnection issues can be resolved by quitting the app and opening it again. ⦁    Some camera and graphical-related issues have been reported for the following devices: Nexus 7, Nexus 4, Samsung Tab S, Motorola Moto X, Sony Xperia Z1. ⦁    The app is not yet optimized for Android 5.0 Lollipop. Graphical and responsiveness issues may happen as a result. ⦁    Support menus and service screens are not yet available for the Android version. ⦁    Periodic disconnections with iOS 8.0x due to Bluetooth issues may occur. We recommend upgrading to iOS 8.1x or higher. ⦁    An upgrade from iOS 7.x to iOS 8.x has caused registration data to get lost in the past. We recommend registering again using exactly the same email and password as during the original registration. ⦁    The current Android version of the Robomow App cannot connect to a mower while it’s in operation. The connection can be established only when a mower docks in the base station or when it’s idle (e.g., after the STOP button is pressed).

Yes, a remote access session will not be disturbed by a phone call from the same mobile device.

During a Remote Access session, your mobile device serves as a communication pipe. Therefore, no personal data or other applications on your mobile device can be accessed or harmed by the Remote Access utility.

Yes, you have control. If you want to abort a remote session, just press the Disconnect button.

Only an authorized service station that knows the exact serial number of your mower can connect remotely to your mower. It can only connect to your mower when your mobile device is connected to the mower by itself, and running the Remote Access utility.

⦁    Open the Robomow App and connect to your mower. ⦁    Make sure there is an Internet connection available on your mobile device. ⦁    Go to Main Menu  Support  Remote Access. The “mower-phone” link should be green (connected). ⦁    The utility is now in a state of accepting incoming connections. ⦁    If the connection with the remote service station is successfully established, you will be presented with a safety warning, which needs to be established to begin the session.

The “Remote Access” utility is available under the “Support” menu of the Robomow App. It allows remote access to your mower by an authorized Robomow service provider, using your mobile device as an intermediator. This means that from one side, your mobile device is connected to your mower via the regular BLE connection. And from the other side, it is connected to the service station via 3G or WiFi connection. In this way there is a direct link between the service station and your mower. During such a Remote Access session, your mobile device serves as a communication pipe. Therefore, no personal data or other applications on your mobile device can be accessed or harmed by the Remote Access utility.

You will not need to do anything. It should continue working the same as with the previous Module. You may want to run a test by pressing the ‘Test’ button on the “GSM Module Settings” screen of the Robomow app (Main Menu  Lawn & Mower Options  Mower  Mobile Comm. System). If everything is intact, you should receive a “GSM Test Passed” notification.

Yes, the GSM Module sends push notifications to all mobile devices registered with the mower that it’s installed on.

Once the GSM Module has been enabled (switched ON), it can be switched OFF via the app. If you want it to stop sending notifications, simply uncheck (disable) both alert types on the “Mobile Comm. System” screen of the Robomow app (Main Menu  Lawn & Mower Options  Mower menu).

If the GSM Module is replaced or suspected to not function properly for any reason, we recommend testing it by pressing the ‘Test’ button on the “GSM Module Settings” screen of the Robomow app (Main Menu  Lawn & Mower Options  Mower  Mobile Comm. System): ⦁    You should receive a “GSM Test Passed!” message within a couple of minutes. ⦁    If the testing process fails, please try again, or contact your nearest Robomow service provider.

If Robomow has stopped operation, it will inform you of the fault after two hours, via push notification.

This functionality is not yet available.

On the “Mobile Comm. System” screen of the Robomow app (Main Menu  Lawn & Mower Options  Mower menu): ⦁    Select the type of alerts* (check V) that will be sent to your mobile device by your Robomow mower: ⦁    Theft Detect Alerts -- Sent if your mower has been removed from the designated area. ⦁    Operation Stop Alerts -- Sent if your mower has stopped in the middle of the operation. ⦁    Switch on the “Share Operational Data” option (Main Menu  App Settings) to enable the sending of operational data from your Robomow to a centralized Support Center in order to improve performance.

Once the GSM Module has been installed, it should be enabled via the Robomow app: ⦁    Navigate to the “GSM Module Settings” screen (Main Menu  Lawn & Mower Options  Mower  Mobile Comm. System) ⦁    Slide the “GSM Module” switch to the “On” position. The app will initiate the enabling process. ⦁    You should receive a “GSM Module successfully enabled!” message within a couple of minutes. ⦁    If the enabling process fails, please try again, or contact your nearest Robomow service provider.

The GSM Module is capable of sending two types of alerts (push notifications) to your mobile device: ⦁    Theft Detect Alerts -- Sent if your mower has been removed from the designated area. ⦁    Operation Stop Alerts -- Sent if your mower has stopped in the middle of an operation.

The main purpose and value of the GSM accessory is the ability to send alerts by push notification to the mower’s owner. The GSM Module itself provides an internet data connection, but the mechanism of push notifications requires registering a mobile device as a recipient of push notifications. This is where the Robomow App comes in.

Account deletion is a “decoupling” between a particular email address (user) and a mower. After successful deletion of an account, the mower is no longer associated with the user and can be registered by any other customer.

The “Share Operational Data” option (located in “Main Menu  App Settings”; set to ON by default) enables collection of operational data from your Robomow in order to constantly monitor its performance. This data is technical data about your product, and is used for statistical purposes only.

This functionality is not available yet. If you want to restrict unintended operation via the Robomow App, we recommend defining a password or an automatic keypad-lock for your mobile device.

In order to start the manual mowing remote control mode: ⦁    Press and hold the safety lock with your right thumb. ⦁    While holding the safety lock, press the mow button with your left thumb. The blade(s) will start. ⦁    Release the safety lock, but keep holding your left thumb on the mow button. ⦁    Use the Joystick to navigate.

The Remote Control function is a unique functionality of the Robomow App, which allows you to drive your Robomow and perform manual mowing. It’s completely free of charge for all Robomow models. The Remote Control function can be accessed from the Main Operation Screen.

This is a known issue. You will need to shut down the app and reopen it again.

The “Service Screens” menu is currently available for Robomow C-models on iOS devices only.

This is a limitation of the 2014 software version. Once you enable the second “Hours 2” slot via the app on the C-model mower, the entire menu of “Inactive Times” become unavailable via the mower. You need to disable “Hours 2” via the app in order to regain control of it via the mower. If you have the 2015 software version, there is no such limitation. You can always change “Inactive Times” via the mower, but only of “Hours 1”. The second “Hours 2” window is only available via the app.

Every time you change a setting in the app, you need to press the Save button (if it is available), in the top-right corner of the screen.

By pressing the "Menu" button on the home screen of the Robomow app, you will see the Settings menu. Click "Lawn Mower & Options." A new window will appear with all the options that can be set for your lawn as well as for your Robomow. In order to change mower settings (like Rain Sensor, child lock, etc.), choose the “Mower” tab. Child Lock Settings (Parental Control) The Child Lock feature locks mower’s buttons to prevent unintended operation, especially by children. Note: this feature only locks buttons on the mower itself. The operational buttons in the app are not locked with this feature. If the Child Lock is set to 'On,' to operate the mower, first press one of the operating mode buttons and then to press the OK button to confirm. Sound This option relates to the sound signals of the mower. Some signals (like safety or antitheft signals) cannot be switched off. To enable or disable this option, you will need to switch the controller to either "ON" or "OFF." Edge Mode This option allows you to skip the edging operation when working in the automatic mode. I.e., if this setting is set to off, Robomow won’t cut the edges of your lawn at the beginning of each mowing cycle. However, if the edging is started manually (by pressing the Edge&Mow button on the mower or in the app), it will be done regardless of the setting of the Edge Mode parameter. Rain Sensor With this menu option, you can activate or deactivate the Robomow’s rain sensor. To enable or disable this option, you will need to switch the controller to either "ON" or "OFF." In the “Current Reading” area, you can see the current measurement of the rain sensor. The Sensitivity control allows you to adjust how sensitive will Robomow be to rainy conditions. Note: Rain/Humid conditions are detected when the “Current Reading” gets below the Sensitivity setting value. In this case the mower will halt operation and return to the base.

Click the “Menu” button on the Robomow app’s home screen, to enter the main menu. Click "Lawn & Mower Options."  A new window appears with all of the lawn options that can be set for the Robomow. Here you can change Lawn settings (additional zones, inactive periods, etc.) and Mower settings (Rain Sensor, child locks, etc.) Note: Do not forget to click the Save button (if available in the top right corner) if you change any settings! Inactive Time With this menu item, you can set inactive periods for Robomow, for which mowing will be inactive. The inactive periods are divided into two parts: Hours and Days. Hours The Hours setting provides Robomow with a time range during which Robomow will be inactive during a day. The factory setting here is Hours 1 "ON" with “From” and “To” fields set to 23:00 to 6:00 respectively. This means that from 11 o’clock at night to 6 o’clock in the morning Robomow will not be allowed to leave the base. To enable or disable the time components, slide the ON/OFF button for on or off. With Hours 2, (where the factory setting is set to "OFF”), you can set another time range during a day for which the mower will not be active; for example, during a lunch break. To enable or disable the time components, slide the ON/OFF button for on or off. Days Here you can define specific days in a week when Robomow won’t be allowed to leave the base (i.e., will stay inactive). By default, Sunday is set as an inactive day. If you want to make a particular day inactive, you should select if from the list. When a particular day is displayed in yellow, it is an inactive day. When in gray, it’s active. Operations (“Mowing Extent” in 2015 Robomow models) With this menu item the Robomow app makes adjustments to the mowing cycle. The Operations setting is divided into two parts: Intensity (“Mowing Hours %” in 2015 models) and Interval (“Mowing Frequency” in 2015 models). Intensity (“Mowing Hours %” in 2015 models) With the Intensity setting, you can adjust the number of mowing hours allocated for your mowing area. You can increase/decrease the number of operating hours (in %), that the mower needs to cover your lawn size. ‘Zero’ means Robomow’s default number of required mowing hours for a given area setting. You can adjust the intensity for each zone separately. Interval (“Mowing Frequency” in 2015 models) The Interval setting controls the frequency of mowing cycles of your lawn (including all sub-zones). This setting is also available per zone.  Select the required option for the requested zone.  The selected option will become yellow. You can choose ‘Every 2 days’, ‘Twice a week’ or ‘Once a week’ (corresponding to ‘High’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Low’ mowing frequency). Zones With this menu item, you can set the area of the main zone, set additional zones (sub-zones), or set separate zones. To change the size of the main zone, click the Main Zone box. Important! 1) If you want to set a sub-zone for the Robomow, you must first put it into the base station. 2) If your main zone’s area is equal to your Robomow’s maximum area capacity, you won’t be able to define additional zones. 3) Make sure that a sub-zone’s entry is properly installed, following the instructions in the operating manual of your Robomow. To define an additional zone, click the “Add” button in the zone setting window. In the Add Zone window, you have two options: ‘Sub-Zone’ (this is a zone that the mower can reach on its own) or ‘Separated Zone’ (this is a zone that the mower cannot reach on its own). Sub-Zone To set a sub-zone, click the sub-zone field. If the mower is in the base station, it will give a signal that it’s departing from the base. Shortly afterwards, it departs from the base and will start driving along the wire without activating the mowing motor(s). You’ll have to follow the mower while it’s driving along the edge. When the mower is well inside (at least 1-2 meters) a sub-zone, press the red stop button on the app. This is the point where the mower will leave the edge and start mowing the sub-zone in the following mowing operations. After pressing the STOP button in the app window, Robomow will stop and a new window will appear. Here you must specify the size of the sub-zone. Use the controls to select the size. Click the Save button when finished. The sub-zone programming is now complete. Separated Zone To enter a separated zone, you will need to click the Separated zone button, and then click the area size setting to set the area of the separated zone. Click the Save button to save the settings. Islands In rare cases, you may notice that the mower unnecessarily circles around a Perimeter Island, while searching for the Base Station. The Islands option helps overcome this situation. To avoid such cases, turn the Islands feature On per zone. Important! When the Islands feature is set to On, the mower will execute a special method of searching for the Base Station. As a result it may take the mower longer time to arrive to the Base Station. Near Wire Follow With this menu item, you can define how Robomow follows the perimeter wire on its way to the base station. You can select and set this option for each zone separately. Turn this option on and off by adjusting the controller to "ON" or "OFF". Set a maximum distance with the Max. Distance control.  This indicates how far Robomow may go from the wire while riding back to the Base Station. You can also set a minimum distance with the Min. Distance control. This indicates how close Robomow may come to the wire while riding back to the Base Station. Note that the numbers do not represent the actual units of measurement. Press save button when finished. External Base Note: This option is only available for C-models (RC / MC). With the External Base menu item, you can set up an off-the-lawn installation of a Base Station. Important! The external charging station must be installed correctly. Otherwise there is no value in this setting. Therefore, please refer to the Operating Manual for the proper installation instructions. You can choose which zone the external charging station is in – whether in the Main Zone, or if relevant, in a Separated Zone. The External Base option can be enabled per zone by setting the controller to "ON" or "OFF." You must specify the distance of the base station from the edge using the Distance slider. This will specify how far Robomow will drive back when departing from the base.

In order to change settings on your mower with the Robomow App, navigate to the main menu and select “Lawn & Mower Options.” Available “Lawn Options”: ⦁    Inactive Time ⦁    Mowing Extent ⦁    Zones ⦁    Islands ⦁    Near Wire Follow ⦁    Smart Mow ⦁    Turbo Mow ⦁    Program On/Off ⦁    External Base (RC models only) Available “Mower Options”: ⦁    Child Lock ⦁    Rain Sensor ⦁    Sound On/Off ⦁    Edge On/Off ⦁    Mobile Communication System

You can access the Main Menu from the top left corner of the main operational screen (see the figure above).

You may disable or enable automatic operation of your mower by clicking on the calendar sign located in the center-right of the main operational screen (see the figure above).

The next automatic departure time is displayed in the middle of the main operational screen when your mower is fully charged (see the figure above).

Different states of your mower (docking, mowing, idle, winter charge), as well as your mower’s battery status, are displayed in the top right corner of the main operational screen (see the figure above).

There is a connectivity sign located in the top right corner of the main operational screen (see the figure above). It shows the status of the Bluetooth® 4.0 wireless connection with your mower.

If you’d like to register another user for your mower, you can either delete your account (App Settings > Delete Account) to free up your mower’s serial number for another registration, or ask the user to register using your login credentials (email/password).  In one of the upcoming Robomow App versions we’ll introduce the “Invite Users” functionality, which will allow several users to be registered with the same mower.

If you wish to connect to another mower via the Robomow App, you need to first delete your existing Robomow App account (App Settings > Delete Account), and set up a new account. In one of the upcoming Robomow App versions we’ll introduce the “Add/Remove Mower” function, which will allow adding up to 6 mowers to the same account.

The app will try to reconnect automatically when it loses connection with a mower. You will see a “trying to reconnect to your Robomow…” message. If the automatic reconnection fails, you’ll get a message describing a possible failure reason, and it will suggest that you try to reconnect again. If you choose to try to reconnect again, the app will initiate another connection attempt and you’ll see the “Trying to connect to your Robomow…” message again. You may decide to cancel a reconnection attempt (for example if you know that there is no mower around). In this case, the following screen will be displayed and you will be able to press the “Connect to my Robomow!” button at any time to initiate a new connection attempt later.

The current Android version may experience reconnection issues in some rare cases.  Most reconnection issues can be resolved by quitting the app and opening it again.

For safety reasons, the communication link with a mower via Remote Control is very sensitive and thus less tolerant to communication errors. This requires the range with the mower to be shorter than in other modes of the Robomow App. Either way, you will need to maintain line of sight and no more than 3 meters (10 ft.) distance when operating the mower with the Remote Control function.

Periodic disconnections may occur due to some known Bluetooth issues in iOS 8.0x. We recommend upgrading your Apple device to iOS 8.1x or higher.

The range of wireless connection between the Robomow App and your mower may vary between 10 to 25 meters in normal conditions, depending on the mower’s orientation (side, front, or back). Note that when you are facing away from the mower, the range is reduced approximately by half.

The Robomow App communicates with your mower via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) communication protocol. Upon successful registration or upon every launch of the app, it will automatically scan available BLE devices and try to connect automatically to the registered mower. Important! ⦁    Make sure the mower is switched on and awake. ⦁    Make sure you’re within a few meters of the mower. ⦁    Make sure your Robomow is not currently connected with another mobile device. If the connection is successful, you’ll see the buttons and the status bar (note the connection status icon marked in red) become active.

Due to some structural changes aimed to support iOS 8, the current Robomow App version may require a new registration. When this happens, we recommended registering using the same credentials (email/password) that were used during the original registration.

This was a known issue for the previous Robomow App version (1.40) on Apple devices running iOS8.x. To resolve it, simply upgrade the Robomow App to the latest version.

Password retrieval will be available in one of the upcoming Robomow App versions. Resetting your password can currently be done via your local Support Hotline.

No. The Robomow App allows you to scan the barcode with the serial number of your mower, without having to enter it manually.

The following steps detail how to register the Robomow app. The first time the Robomow app starts you must register the mower and create a user (account). This step must be performed once. Step-by-step registration of the Robomow is as follows. ⦁ Start the app. ⦁ You will be prompted to select the country where the Robomow is located. ⦁    Next, create a new user. Click on the New User area. ⦁    You will now be prompted to scan the serial number of your Robomow. You can find the Robomow serial number on the silver product sticker. On the C-models, it’s on the back of the mower. In the S-models, it’s on the inner side of the flap, under which the cutting height adjustment and the "ON / OFF" switch are placed. While scanning the serial number, it is important to keep the smartphone / tablet close to the barcode, so that the code can be clearly read. The serial number can also be entered manually. Just press "Enter Manually." Then type in the entire serial number, including the leading letters. ⦁    You will now need to enter an email address and a password. The password is case-sensitive and must be at least 6 characters long. It should not start with ‘%’ or ‘#’ or ‘&’ signs. ⦁    Next, click on the yellow text that says "Terms & Conditions." This displays the usage conditions and safety warnings. Scroll down to get to the end of the text, and then click the yellow “Accept” button. You’ll then see a small checkmark that says “I agree to the Robomow’s Terms & Conditions.” If all fields are completed, press “Next.” You will see a “Registration Complete” notification on your screen, and this completes the registration process.  

The proper way to reinstall the Robomow App is by deleting your account (App Settings Delete Account) before uninstalling your current version. Once you delete your account and uninstall the current version, you can re-install the app and register again.

Install the Robomow App on the new device, and register with exactly the same email and password as on the previous device. All settings will automatically be fetched from the mower once the new device connects with it.

This may happen only when you run the Robomow App for the first time. To help resolve this, you can try to improve the internet connection on your mobile device.

You will need to filter out the search results with the ‘iPhone Only’ flag.

To download the Robomow App, use your mobile device to scan the QR code, or simply search for it in the App Store or Google Play Store.

Yes, it is possible to install two robots on the same lawn.

Make sure that both the date/day and time are correct. Make sure also that the Inactive Day and Time are exactly as they were set up.

There are 3 basic types of lawns: Main Zone, Main + Sub-Zone, and Main + Separated Zone. (Some lawns are combinations of more than one type.) Main Zone: The “Main Zone Only” lawn consists of one whole area.  It has no Sub-Zones and no Separated Zones. ⦁    The grass area is one continuous zone. ⦁    Make sure all areas of the lawn are wide enough for Robomow to navigate through. Main Zone + Sub-Zone: This type of lawn consists of more than one zone, and these zones are connected by a narrow pass. In this type of lawn, Robomow will be able to drive itself from one zone to the other in order to mow the whole area. ⦁    The grass area is one continuous zone. ⦁    Part of the lawn is separated from the Main Zone. ⦁    The Narrow Pass is wide enough for Robomow to drive through between these zones: 1.2 – 5 meters. ⦁    The Narrow Pass is firm, level, and smooth (not stony or sandy). For example: a grass area, sidewalk, or solid ground. Separated Zone: Separated Zone consists of two or more zones that are not connected. Robomow cannot drive between these zones. If one of the scenarios below exist in your lawn, then you have a Separated Zone: ⦁    Part of the lawn is separated by fences or other objects that prevent the mower from passing. ⦁    Part of the lawn is separated by a gravel path or similar material that may cause the mower to slip while driving through. ⦁    The Pass between zones is too narrow for Robomow to drive through: less than 1.2m in width. ⦁    The zones of the lawn are situated at a lower or higher level.

Some tips for handling Robomow during the winter include: ⦁    Always clean Robomow before putting it away for winter storage. ⦁    No winter storage is required for a Base Station. ⦁    Store the mower in a dry area, preferably at room temperature. ⦁    To allow better maintenance and keep Robomow in good condition, it is recommended to bring your Robomow to a certified Robomow dealer for service prior to winter storage. ⦁    Winter Service includes operations such as cleaning the mower parts and mowing deck, checking for wear of parts and replace if required (such as blade, drive wheels, and other moving parts), testing the mower functions and safety components, checking the battery, and uploading the latest software version, possibly including newly added features.

The Base Station is safe from rain and moisture; however, if there is expected to be a high amount of snowfall that can cover it, it’s recommended to disconnect the Base Station and store it in a dry protected location.

No. You should NEVER use a water hose or any type of liquid to clean the underside of the mower, as liquids can damage components. Use only a damp or wet cloth to wipe the surface clean after using.

We recommend replacing the blades at the start of each cutting season. It’s best not to sharpen the blades, as it may create unbalance.

Yes. During out-of-season months, such as winter, fully charge the battery in the Base Station until the Battery indicator is green and lit constantly. Note that the Safety Switch should be in the ‘On’ position during charging. To charge Robomow during winter: C-Model: ⦁ Fully charge the battery in the Base Station until the Battery indicator is green and lit constantly. Note that the Safety Switch should be in the ‘On’ position during charging. LED indicators for charging: - Red is lit constantly – Charge the battery. - Green is blinking – During battery charging. - Green is lit constantly – Battery is fully charged. ⦁ Remove Robomow from its Base Station. Turn the Safety Switch off and store the mower at room temperature. ⦁ If the mower is stored for more than 3 months, recharge the battery every three months until the Battery indicator shows it is fully charged. ⦁ The charging can be done in one of the following options: ⦁ Place the mower in the Base Station for charging. ⦁ Connect Robomow directly to the Power Box as follows: Disconnect the DC cable coming from the power box to the 15m extension cable, and connect it to the rear side of the mower. ⦁    Once the season starts, (do not forget to switch On the Safety Switch), simply place Robomow in its Base Station to begin automatic operation. Note: Always charge your mower in a horizontal position. The mower should be flat on the ground while connected to the power supply. S-Model: Fully charge the mower in one of the two following ways: ⦁    In the Base Station. ⦁    Directly from the Power Box (see below). Remove the fuse from Robomow and store it in the designated cavity under the bumper door. Store the mower at temperature higher than -10ºC. Note! The Safety Switch should be in the ‘On’ position during charging. If the robot is stored for more than 3 months, recharge the battery every 3 months until the battery indicator shows it is fully charged. You can recharge the battery through the Base Station, or by using the Base Station adapter as explained below. Charging instructions using the Base Station adapter: ⦁    Remove Robomow from its Base Station. ⦁    Remove the Base Station Head (Charging Adaptor) by lifting the front lever up and pushing the Adaptor forward from behind the Base Station. ⦁    Unplug the 20 m (65 ft.) Extension Cable and the Perimeter Wire from the Base Station Head. ⦁    Place the cap at the end of the 20 m (65 ft.) Extension Cable and on the exposed connector to protect it from rain and corrosion. Also, cover the Perimeter Wire connector. ⦁    Disconnect the DC Cable coming from the Power Box to the 20 m (65 ft.) Extension Cable. Connect the DC Cable directly to the DC socket on the bottom side of the Base Station Head. Note: It is recommended (but not necessary) to charge the mower using the 20 m (65 ft.) extension cable for better sealing of the Base Station Head during out-of-season charging. ⦁    Slide the Base Station Head pins into the front slot of Robomow. ⦁    Charging will begin immediately. ⦁    When the battery is fully charged, the Ready message will be displayed. ⦁    Once the season starts, (do not forget to insert the fuse and switch On the Safety Switch), just place Robomow in its Base Station to begin automatic operation as the season before. Important! Always charge your mower in a horizontal position. The mower should be flat on the ground while connected to the power supply.  

You can pause it by pressing the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds, until a red light is displayed.

It means that the auto program is in "Pause" mode, which means the robot will not depart from the Base Station automatically, and will only depart by pressing manually on the operation keypad.

Deactivate: You can deactivate the sound by pressing the ON/OFF button for 6 seconds until all the LEDs blink. Activate: You can activate the sound by pressing the ON/OFF button for 6 seconds until you hear a beep with an indication that the sound settings were changed.

In most cases, it will not be a Perimeter Wire that’s too long, but an invalid/poor wire connection in the Perimeter Wire, resulting from the use of a connector that’s not suitable for outdoor use. The connection, where the wire (copper) is exposed, will be oxidized and thus will have high resistance in the connection, which is equivalent  to an installation of a long wire. In this case, you will have to locate the faulty/damaged connection, remove the damaged wire, and reconnect the cable with a suitable connector supplied from Robomow."

This is a warning of a cut wire. In such cases there is no signal in the lawn.

It means that the robot has not returned to its Base Station after 4 hours. This behavior is relevant only if the robot departs from the Base Station and not manually from the middle of the lawn.

It means that the robot was manually dragged out from its Base Station in an unauthorized way.

This means that the Power box is set to Pause mode, and Robomow will stay at the Base Station, and will not start automatically from the Base Station. This is not a problem. You will just need to again press the mode of operation you want, and Robomow will start mowing.

Pop-up sprinklers that are below ground level are no problem because Robomow drives over them during the mowing. However, with pop-up sprinklers, you need to check that the parts are below the ground surface, so they will not be damaged by the blades. If the sprinklers are fixed within the lawn area, you need to remove them outside the lawn, or protect them using the perimeter wire so that the robot will not damage them.

Only relatively small lawns are covered in a single operation. Most lawns require more than a single operation to cover the entire area. The operation principle of Robomow is based on consecutive operations, which keep the lawn cut at all times, rather than mowing the lawn in a single operation and then letting the grass grow and cutting it again.

The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited lifetime of 2-4 years. Battery life is dependent on the season length and how many hours Robomow is used. We therefore recommend changing the mowing frequency (Interval) when the growth rate of the grass is slower. This will help prolong the lifetime of the mower and the battery.

If the Perimeter Wire needs to be spliced, use the connectors supplied in the Robomow box. They are waterproof and give a reliable electrical connection. IMPORTANT! Before splicing the Perimeter Wire, disconnect the Power Box from the power outlet. ⦁ Strip 1 cm (0.5 inch) of each wire end together, and twist the stripped ends using pliers. ⦁ Insert the twisted wires into the splicing connector. ⦁ Screw the wire connector on the twisted wires. Make sure it is tightly secured. IMPORTANT! Neither twisted cables, nor a screw terminal insulated with insulation tape, are a satisfactory splice. Soil moisture will cause such conductors to oxidize and will later lead to a broken circuit.

The LED battery indicators are as follows: ⦁    Red is lit constantly – Charge the battery. ⦁    Green is blinking – Battery is charging. ⦁    Green is lit constantly – Battery is fully charged.

A Base Station is required for a Separated Zone that cannot be mowed in a single operation. Normally this is an area larger than 328 square feet for the C models, and larger than 650 square feet for the S models.

C-Model: The Child Lock feature locks the buttons to prevent unintended operation, especially by children. If the Child Lock is set to 'On' (Menu P010), to operate the mower, first press one of the operating mode buttons and then press the OK button to confirm. S-Model: The Child Lock feature locks the buttons to prevent unintended operation, especially by children. To turn this feature on, set Child Lock to On (under the Mower Settings menu). When the Child Lock is turned On, Keys Locked is displayed.

The Basic Settings are the most common menu options changed by users. Each of the Basic Settings has an icon on the mower, which is lit to indicate the selected menu option. To change Basic Settings, press the 'Settings' button. Every press of the Setting button will move between the following 4 menu options: ⦁    Day and Time – Sets the current day and time. ⦁    Mowing Hours(%) (Intensity) - Increases/decreases the number of mowing hours (in %) needed to cover the lawn size. ⦁    Inactive Time – Sets times when the mower will be inactive. Inactive operating times can be set for specific day(s) of the week, and for specific hours for all days in the week. ⦁    Area – Updates the size of the lawn in case it has been changed.

Island OFF: Usually recommended for lawns without an island installation. When the mower is in searching for Base Station mode, the mower will acquire the first wire it detects and follow all the way to the Base Station. Island ON: This is recommended for lawns with island installations. In rare cases, you may notice that the mower unnecessarily circles around a Perimeter Island while searching for the Base Station. The Islands option helps overcome this situation. To avoid such cases, turn the Islands feature On. When the Islands feature is set to On, the mower will execute a special method of searching for the Base Station. As a result, it may take the mower longer to arrive to the Base Station.

If your lawn contains islands with a small diameter (up to 2 meters), then you can leave the setting of the Islands to 'Off,' as the mower will detect such an island, and will leave them fairly quickly. But in cases where there is a large island (for example a swimming pool, pond, or a large group of flowers/trees), which the robot can drive around for a long time, then it is recommended to set the Islands to 'On,' to prevent the mower from following the wire around these islands.

C-Model: To restart the One-Time Setup process, press and hold the STOP + Setting + Left arrow buttons together for more than four seconds. This will invoke the factory defaults (“out of the box” settings). S-Model: To restart the One-Time Setup process, press and hold the STOP + Down arrow buttons together for more than four seconds. This will invoke the factory defaults (“out of the box” settings).

With RC models, if you want to cancel the setup process, press the STOP button continuously for 3 seconds. With RS models, simply press the STOP button. You will see a question on the screen that says "Quit the setup process?" Then scroll to select the checkmark.

Robomow can mow over flat-paved stones that are more or less the same height as the lawn grass; however, Robomow will not be able to drive over stones that are at levels much higher than the grass.

The maximum number of Sub-Zones will be different for each Robomow model.

The Perimeter Wire functions as an “invisible wall” for Robomow. It sets the boundaries of lawn zones, and it surrounds specific areas where you do not want Robomow to enter. The Perimeter Wire is held to the ground with small pegs, supplied with Robomow. Soon after settling, the wire will become invisible under the growth of new grass. As soon as Robomow starts operating, it turns on a signal that runs along the Perimeter Wire. This signal keeps Robomow within its working zones and away from preset demarcated areas. The Perimeter Wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and around trees, plants, ponds and objects that you want Robomow to avoid.

Robomow is much quieter than standard push-mowers. The noise is less than 70 dB. If the Robomow is noisy, you may have a damaged or unbalanced blade.

Robomow can handle almost any type of residential lawn, with a total area of up to 10,500 square feet. The maximum slope inside the lawn that can be handled by Robomow is 20 degrees (35%). Robomow can also handle multi-zone lawns, and you can mow any separated grass patch using manual mowing via remote control (available as an accessory or in the Robomow App).

Robomow’s mowing schedule is defined by three major parameters: ⦁    Lawn area ⦁    Inactive times ⦁    Mowing frequency (Mowing Interval) The lawn area defines the required mowing time for your lawn – this is the duration of a single mowing cycle. The inactive times define the hours and days when Robomow should not be on the lawn. The mowing frequency (Interval) parameter defines how often a new mowing cycle should start (once a week, twice a week, etc.). During active times, Robomow will continuously alternate between mowing and charging until it completes the entire mowing cycle. After a mowing cycle is completed, it will stay in the Base Station until the next Mowing Cycle should start, depending on the configured mowing frequency. By default, Robomow completes two Mowing Cycles per week in order to keep your lawn healthy and looking good. However if your lawn requires more maintenance time, you can easily adjust the time Robomow runs in a single Mowing Cycle, by setting the “Mowing Hours %” (Intensity) parameter.

Yes. Robomow can handle situations of extreme heat without any problems.

Robomow can mow in rainy weather, but for the health of your lawn, we don’t recommend mowing wet grass. Since Robomow finishes the work faster than competing mowers designed for similar-sized lawns, it doesn’t have to mow in rain to be able to maintain your lawn. Instead, Robomow is smartly equipped with a rain sensor, which halts operation in rainy or highly humid weather. There are many reasons why you should not mow the lawn when it's wet, including: - Disease spreads quickly when the grass is wet. - The mower can get clogged. - The Grasscycling is not good enough (mulching). Clippings tend to clump, which doesn't look good on your lawn. - It’s not fun for you and not good for the lawn either, since the clippings provide free fertilizer. - Damp grass is slippery and may cause the mower to slip and cause damage to the lawn. When a rainy or highly humid condition is detected by the Rain Sensor, it will signal to Robomow to halt current operation, and start searching for the Base Station. If rain is detected while Robomow is in the Base Station and an automatic operation is about to start, a “rain detected” message will be displayed by Robomow, and the automatic operation will resume 30 minutes after rain is no longer detected by the Rain Sensor.

Due to its heavy-duty steel blades, Robomow is the only robotic mower strong enough to perform a cut when the grass is relatively high. However when mowing high grass during the first use or, for example, during the first mowing of the season, you will initially see uneven patches of grass. Please be patient, as it may take a few days to one week to overcome this and bring the lawn to an even height and consistency. Robomow’s TurboMow feature allows faster and stronger mowing of high grass during the first cut of the season. In TurboMow mode, Robomow reduces its driving speed, doubles the number of mowing hours, and works at the highest RPM. This will already provide you with better mowing results after the initial mowing cycle. The S models have floating mowing decks, which automatically rise up in high grass, thus allowing them to mow the grass gradually until reaching the desired level.

We recommend periodically inspecting the area where Robomow will be used, and removing toys and other foreign objects. However, there is no need to worry if Robomow encounters these objects during its work. Robomow’s excellent maneuverability can help overcome these types of barriers.

S-Model: Robomow can handle a narrow passage of at least 1.2m and wider. The length of a narrow passage can be up to a few meters. If the pass is narrow (1.2 – 2m), you have to set a special Perimeter Wire configuration to lead Robomow in and out of the pass. You can use the Special Template supplied with Robomow to set the narrow passage. If the narrow passage is wider than 2m (6.5ft.), and you want Robomow to mow the area inside the narrow passage, you can set the perimeter wire in such a way that allows Robomow to mow inside the narrow passage, but prevents it from crossing between the zones. C-Model: If thenarrow passage is 1m – 2m wide: To set up anarrow passage, follow these instructions: ⦁ At the point you want the mower to start driving towards the Sub-Zone, you can begin to set the narrow passage. ⦁ 50 cm (20 inches) from the narrow passage entry, set a Perimeter Island of 30 cm sides (12 inches) at a distance of 10 cm (4 inches) from the Perimeter Wire. ⦁ Continue to lay the wire towards the Sub-Zone and lay another island with the same dimensions, 50 cm (20 inches) from the Sub-Zone Perimeter Wire. ⦁ After completing the setup of the wire in the Sub-Zone, make sure you keep 10 cm (4 inches) between the wire and the islands on the way back to the Main Zone. If thenarrow passage is wider than 2m (6.5ft.), and you want Robomow to mow the area inside thenarrow passage, then you can set the wire as shown: ⦁    At the point you want the mower to start driving towards the Sub-Zone, you can begin to set thenarrow passage. ⦁    Set an island at the middle of thenarrow passage, and keep a distance of 10 cm (4”) from the Perimeter Wire. ⦁    The island dimensions should be 30 cm (12”) along the side and as wide as needed, keeping 10 cm (4”) from both sides. ⦁    After completing the setup of the wire in the Sub-Zone, make sure you keep 10 cm (4”) between the wire and the island on the way back to the Main Zone.

Robomow can mow areas inside the working area that slope up to 20 degrees or 35% (35 cm rise per 1m).

Yes. The area capacity of a particular Robomow model indicates the maximum size of a lawn that the model is recommended for, but you can use Robomow for any smaller lawn as well. All you need to do is to set the area setting of Robomow to suit your lawn’s size.

If your lawn is bigger than 34,400 square feet, you can purchase an additional Robomow and split your lawn between the two mowers.

The largest recommended area size of a lawn that can be handled by Robomow is 34,400 sq ft.

Yes. For example, in Separated Zones, Robomow will mow each zone separately, and its movement between zones is restricted. The mower must be carried or driven to this area manually. You can use the Remote Control (available as an accessory or in the Robomow App), to manually drive and mow anywhere. The Remote Control includes a safety function to prevent accidental use. Note: Do not mow manually if there is a slope greater than 15 degrees, or where firm footing is not possible.

Robomow can mow in rainy weather, but for the health of your lawn, we don’t recommend mowing wet grass. Since Robomow finishes the work faster than competing mowers designed for similar-sized lawns, it doesn’t have to mow in rain to be able to maintain your lawn. Instead, Robomow is smartly equipped with a rain sensor, which halts operation in rainy or highly humid weather.

This varies depending on the size of your lawn and other factors. It’s important to note that Robomow has the widest cutting width of any robotic mower in the market, which allows it to finish the mowing faster, leaving you with plenty of time to enjoy your lawn. The mowing time can always be adjusted using the Mowing Hours (Intensity) (%) setting – to increase/decrease the number of operating mowing hours (Intensity) (in %) needed to cover the lawn size.

There is no limit of islands that can be installed on the lawn, but the wire length should not be more than 800 meters.

When there is an obstacle on the edge, surround the object with the Perimeter Wire by the relevant distance for each model ( C model – 28cm / S model – 40cm).

C-Model The minimum distance of the island installation from the Perimeter Wire should be 1 m (3.3 ft). ⦁ The minimum distance of the perimeter wire from the protected area should be 28 cm (11 inches). ⦁ If you need to protect a thin object, set the minimum radius of the island to 35 cm (15 inches). S-Model The minimum distance of the island installation from the Perimeter Wire should be 1.5 m (4.9 ft). ⦁ The minimum distance of the Perimeter Wire from the protected area should be 32 cm (11 inches). ⦁ If you need to protect a thin object, set the minimum radius of the island to 45 cm (15 inches).

C-Model You should maintain a minimum of 1 meter (3.3 ft.) between adjacent islands. S-Model You should maintain a minimum of 1.5 m (4.9 ft) between wires of adjacent islands.  

⦁ Use the Perimeter Wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that cannot withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and fountains. ⦁ Continue uncoiling the wire, while moving from the edge towards the protected object. ⦁ Peg the Perimeter Wire around the protected object in a clockwise direction. This is important, because setting the Perimeter Wire counter-clockwise around the obstacle will cause the mower to drive into the island. ⦁ Complete bordering the island and return to the spot where you left the lawn’s edge. ⦁ The wires leading to and from the Island should be parallel and touching. Therefore, you should peg both wires, to and from the island, together with the same pegs. ⦁ Robomow will not recognize these two wires. It will mow over them as if they do not exist. ⦁ Robomow will recognize the single blocking wire around the Perimeter Island and will not enter this area. Objects such as flower beds, ponds, or small trees can be protected by creating Perimeter Islands, which are demarcated areas of the lawn where Robomow does not enter. In the areas where obstacles are grouped closely together, they should be demarcated by a single, continuous Perimeter Island.

Robomow detects when there is an obstacle in its way during operation. When the mower collides with an obstacle, the mower will stop the rotation of the blade immediately, and then stop movement in that direction and reverse itself away from the obstacle.

C-Model If the working area is adjacent to a swimming pool, watercourse, slope greater than 10%, precipice higher than 50 cm (20 inches) or a public road, the Perimeter Wire must be supplemented with a fence or the like. The height must then be at least 15 cm (6 inches). This will prevent the mower from ending up outside the working area under any circumstances. If such a barrier exists, you may set the Perimeter Wire 28 cm (11 inches) from the barrier. If there is no fence or the like, then lay the Perimeter Wire at minimum distance of 1.2 m from the water. S-Model If the working area is adjacent to a swimming pool, watercourse, slope greater than 10%, precipice higher than 50 cm (20 inches) or a public road, the Perimeter Wire must be supplemented with a fence or the like. The height must then be at least 15 cm (6 inches). This will prevent the mower from ending up outside the working area under any circumstances. If such a barrier exists, you may set the Perimeter Wire 40 cm (16 inches) from the barrier. If there is no fence or the like, then lay the Perimeter Wire at minimum distance of 1.2 m from the water.

C-Model If the edge is sloped (a maximum of 10% is allowed), or is bordered with high obstacles such as a wall or fence, the Perimeter Wire should be laid at a distance of 28 cm (11 inches) from the obstacle. Use the longer distance of the RoboRuler to set the distance of the wire from a wall. S-Model If the edge is sloped (a maximum of 15% is allowed), or is bordered with high obstacles such as a wall or fence, the Perimeter Wire should be laid at a distance of 40 cm (1.3 ft) from the obstacle. Use the longer distance of the RoboRuler to set the distance of the wire from a wall.

When the working area is divided by a flat path that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow Robomow to run over the path. The Perimeter Wire can be laid under the pavement blocks or in the joint between them. Important! The mower must never run over gravel, mulch, or similar material, which can cause the mower to slip and damage the blade.

C-Model If the working area borders a flat area, a flower bed, a small cliff (not more than 1 cm / 0.4”), or a small stair (up to 5 cm / 2”), the Perimeter Wire should be laid 20 cm (8 inches) inside the working area. This prevents the wheels from driving into a ditch. Use the shorter distance of the RoboRuler to set the distance of the wire from the lawn edge. S-Model If the working area borders a flat area, a flower bed, a small cliff (not more than 1 cm / 0.4”), or a small stair (up to 5 cm / 2”), the Perimeter Wire should be laid 32 cm (1 ft) inside the working area. This prevents the wheels from driving into a ditch. Use the shorter distance of the RoboRuler to set the distance of the wire from the lawn edge.

The RoboRuler should be used to determine the distance of the Perimeter Wire from the lawn edge or obstacles. The RoboRuler should be set up at varying distances, based on whether it’s placed near a wall edge, a lawn edge, or in a narrow pass.

You can simply download an app to your mobile device that measures the slope (for example, Clinometer, Slope Level, Slope Calculator, and others). Take a flat surface (such as a wooden platter) and place it on top of the slope on the grass. Open the app that measure slopes, and place your mobile device on the surface to see the degree of the slope.

Yes. The Perimeter Wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10% (10 cm rise per 1 m). It’s important to note that if the Perimeter Wire is laid across a slope steeper than 10%, the mower will slip and cross outside the wire (especially when the grass is wet). However, if there is a barrier (e.g. fence or wall) that can protect the mower from slipping off, the Perimeter Wire can be set on that slope.

Yes. Robomow can mow areas inside the working area that slope up to 20 degrees or 35% (35 cm rise per 1 m).

- At a corner. In this type of setup, the Base Station is located at one of the corners of the lawn. ⦁    Choose a corner where you want to place the Base Station outside of the lawn area. Note that you should not place the Base Station within 3 m (10 ft.) of a corner. ⦁    Place the Base Station so that its front side is touching the lawn edge or placed somewhat on the lawn. ⦁    Continue to lay the Perimeter Wire as shown in the figure above, where it continues at least 10 cm (4”) beyond the Base Station and turns back towards the lawn at a distance of 10 cm (4”) from the other wire. ⦁    The Base Station may be placed in a small shift to the right in order to allow smooth entry of the mower to the Base Station. ⦁    You will have the opportunity to later adjust the Base Station position to confirm smooth entry. - Outside the lawn. Note: For specific models, this can only be set through the Robomow App. ⦁ Choose a place outside the lawn where you want Robomow to dock and charge. ⦁ Confirm that the path between the lawn and the outside area is smooth with no height difference, so Robomow will not get stuck and will follow the wire smoothly. ⦁ The surface between the lawn and the Base Station should be hard (such as a sidewalk or rigid ground) and not sandy or stony, so Robomow will not slip or get stuck. ⦁ The area between the lawn and the Base Station should be clear of obstacles and objects. ⦁ Lay the wire as shown in the figure below: - Narrow path of 50 cm (20”) width. - Square Perimeter Island of 30 cm (12”) edges. - Island starts 50 cm from the Perimeter Wire. - Keep a distance of 10 cm (4”) between Perimeter Wire and the Island from both sides. - The front of the Base Station should be placed a minimum distance of 1.5 m (5 ft.) from the Perimeter Wire, and NOT more than 4 m (13 ft.) from it.      

Robomow’s Base Station must be placed along the Perimeter Wire, where the wire “loop” starts and ends. Other things to keep in mind when placing the Base Station include: ⦁    Place it on relatively level ground. Do not place it on a slope. ⦁    Do not place it within 3 meters of a corner. ⦁    Place it close enough (within 20 m) to a wall plug socket (230V / 120V). ⦁    Put it in a shady spot. This will extend the battery lifetime. ⦁    Make sure it is invisible to the street. ⦁    Place the Base Station away from sprinkler heads.

If the Separated Zone is not connected to the Main Zone and Robomow cannot drive between these zones, then you have to define and install it as a Separated Zone. If the Separated Zone is small enough so Robomow can cover all the area in a single operation, then choose one of the following installations: ⦁    If possible, the separated area may be connected to the main area’s Perimeter Wire. ⦁    If that option is not possible, you can use a Perimeter Switch (available as an accessory). It may have to have its own separate Perimeter Wire. ⦁    If the Separated Zone cannot be mowed in single operation, an additional Base Station (optional accessory) should be installed in the separated area.  

The length of the Extension Cable should not be changed. If required, call a qualified electricity technician to install power close enough to the Base Station.

The maximum length of the wire that is connected to the charging station is 800 meters. Multiple installations of perimeter islands may cause the wire to exceed the maximum possible length.

Use the supplied pegs to fasten the Perimeter Wire into the ground, below grass level. During the first layout of the wire, insert pegs every few meters, or at any point the wire changes direction, and at corners. At this early stage, set a minimum number of pegs. Later, after testing the wire setup, you can insert all the necessary remaining pegs. After you have completed the testing of the wire position, walk along the wire and insert additional pegs at distances that will keep the wire down below the grass level, and prevent the wire from becoming a tripping hazard. Tip: Do not keep spare pegs for the future. It’s better to use more pegs to ensure that the Perimeter Wire is fastened to the ground to prevent any damage by the mower blade during the operation. The wire and the pegs will soon become invisible under the growth of new grass.

Yes. Robomow is easy to install and use. There are a few things to keep in mind before using Robomow. For Robomow to operate in your lawn, a Perimeter Wire must be installed around the entire lawn, and around protected areas within the lawn area. Proper installation of the Perimeter Wire is critical for the quality and reliability of Robomow’s operation. You can either do the installation yourself, or hire a professional installation service (recommended). For more information about professional installation services, please refer to the Installation Service page on the Robomow website. The Base Station is placed along the Perimeter Wire, and performs two basic functions: ⦁    Generates a signal along the Perimeter Wire. ⦁    Charges Robomow’s batteries. The Power Box is connected between the Base Station and a 230V / 120V wall socket, using a 15 m – C models / 20 m – S models (50 ft – C models / 65 ft – S models) long low voltage cable. After having completed the installation of the Perimeter Wire, Base Station, and the Power Box, and performing the One-Time Setup (which must be performed before operating Robomow for the first time), Robomow will do all the mowing for you for during the entire season!

This depends on the Robomow model you have. The higher the recommended area size, the more wire and pegs are provided.

To learn more about how to install Robomow, take a look at the Installation videos at the Robomow website. Open usa.Robomow.com. Go into “Support Center” menu, then "Do It Yourself," and select your mower in the Installation and Knowledge Base. STEP 1 – Planning Ahead Read the Operating Manual and watch the Robomow setup & operation video before you start the installation. This video will guide you in finding the best locations for the Base Station, Power Box, and Perimeter Wire. STEP 2 – Placing the Base Station and Power Box Place the Base Station according to your plan, and install the Power Box. STEP 3 – Laying out the Perimeter Wire Place the Perimeter Wire around the edge, using the RoboRuler to keep the required distances from the lawn edge. Use the Perimeter Wire to demarcate areas inside the working area that you do not want Robomow to drive inside (like flower beds and ponds). Use the supplied wire pegs to secure the wire to the ground (within a few weeks, the cable will be completely overgrown and invisible). STEP 4 – Completing the Perimeter Wire Setup and Connection Connect the Perimeter Wire to the Base Station, and the Base Station to the Power Box, using the extension cable. STEP 5 – Robomow is ready for operation.

Robomow uses Grasscycling, which is the natural recycling of grass. It means cutting the grass into very small clippings that are buried into the roots of the lawn, where they decompose and act as a natural fertilizer. Grass clippings contain 80-85% water, and release valuable nutrients back into the soil. Best of all, the practice of Grasscycling is an easy – almost effortless – way to contribute to the well-being of the environment. Between the months of March and September, grass clippings can increase landfill use by as much as 50 percent and, while it's true that these clippings will naturally decompose, the damage to the environment is already created by the simple fact that the waste needs to be transported. Simply by leaving the clippings where they are – which, scientifically, is the best place for them – you can fulfill your own responsibility to reduce surplus pollution. And since Grasscycling reintroduces water into the soil and covers the growing lawn from excess water loss through evaporation, the reduction of your dependency on one of our most threatened commodities is a great way to show your commitment to an environmentally friendly future.

The list of available accessories can be found on our website (www.robomow.com), or inside the Operating and Safety Manual supplied with all Robomow products.

The blade replacing tool is provided with every Robomow. In addition, a replacing blade accessory comes with this tool as well.

We recommend replacing the blades at the start of each cutting season. Do not sharpen the blades, as it may create unbalance. Our blades are double-sided for double longevity.

The Robomow App is downloadable for free on compatible iOS and Android devices. It supports all C and S Robomow models (excluding the RS630 model produced in 2013). The Robomow App also does not support the older RM and RL Robomow models.

RS/RC Robomow models come with a 1-year warranty.

The average charging time of Robomow depends on the particular model, and varies from 45 to 120 minutes. Some charging cycles may take longer than usual due to a need for battery cell balancing.

This question is not relevant when using a robotic lawnmower, as the operational concept is different than with a standard walk-behind mower. While using a standard walk-behind mower, you have to wait until the grass grows and then mow the lawn. Once you decide to mow the lawn, you will generally complete the job on the same day in a few hours (depending on the size of your lawn), as you are not limited by energy factors (fuel or electricity). With a robotic lawnmower, in most lawns a few operations are required to cover all of the area. The idea is to maintain the lawn so that the grass is cut a little and often, and the lawn always looks well-maintained. Your lawn always looks as it was just cut.

The theoretical runtime of Robomow for a single charge varies from 40 to 120 minutes, and depends on a particular model. However, the actual runtime may vary depending on the height and type of grass being cut.

The Floating Mowing Deck is a unique feature of Robomow S-models. It allows Robomow to follow land contours of your lawn to provide smoother cutting results. It also helps cope with high grass by cutting it more gradually.

The Rain Sensor is a hardware device installed on the body of the Robomow mower. It is capable of sensing rainy or highly humid conditions. The sensitivity of the Rain Sensor can be adjusted in Robomow’s settings. In case a rainy or highly humid condition is detected by the Rain Sensor, it will signal to Robomow to pause current operation, and start searching for the base station. If rain is detected while Robomow is in the base station and an automatic operation is about to start, a “rain detected” message will be displayed by Robomow, and the automatic operation will resume 30 minutes after rain is no longer detected by the Rain Sensor.

You should inspect the area where Robomow will be used, and remove stones, twigs, and other foreign objects. However, some small branches, cones, and fruit may still fall from trees and be encountered by Robomow during its work. This is nothing to worry about. Due to Robomow’s strong cutting system, heavy-duty steel blades, and excellent maneuverability, it can easily overcome sudden barriers such as these. If something does get stuck in the mowing deck, Robomow will stop and give a warning about it in order to prevent any damage to the mower. In such a case, switch off the mower and carefully remove the object using heavy gloves.

Robomow can handle a narrow passage of 3 feet (4 feet for S models) and wider.

Yes. Thanks to Robomow’s excellent maneuverability and our patented Floating Deck (in S models), Robomow can follow these land contours and provide a smooth cut.

Yes. You can use the Remote Control Accessory or Robomow App’s Remote Control function to drive Robomow to a remote grass patch and mow it manually.

The largest part of your lawn, where the Base Station is installed, will become your Main Zone. The other parts of your lawn will become Sub-Zones, provided they are connected with the Main Zone by a Narrow Passage and Robomow is able to drive between them. Once you or a professional installer set up your zones, Robomow will know how to get to each Sub-Zone from the Main Zone, and will mow one zone after another. In other cases, parts of your lawn may be totally separated from the rest of the lawn. The Perimeter Wire can be set up in such a way that allows Robomow to handle totally separated areas of your lawn. All you have to do is to bring or drive Robomow (using the Remote Control Accessory or the app) to this separated zone every time it needs mowing. The entire Mowing Cycle is completed only when the Main Zone and all additional defined zones are mowed.

Yes. Due to its heavy-duty steel blades, Robomow is the only robotic mower strong enough to perform the first cut of the season, when the grass is relatively high. However when mowing high grass during the first use or the first mowing of the season, you will initially see uneven patches of grass. Please be patient, as it may take a few days to one week to overcome this and bring the lawn to an even height and consistency.

Yes, for RC/MC models only, since for RS/MS models (bigger lawns) the location of the Base Station is less of an issue.  An off-the-lawn installation is called “External Base” setup. There are two ways to install a Base Station off the lawn: at a corner, or at any place outside the lawn. The latter is only available for the RC model and requires setting the Robomow app.

Robomow can mow areas inside the working area that slope up to 20 degrees or 35% (1 foot rise per 3 feet).

Of course! The area capacity of a particular Robomow model indicates the maximum size of a lawn the model is recommended for, but you can use Robomow for any smaller lawn as well. All you need to do is to set the area setting of Robomow to suit your lawn’s size.

The largest recommended area size of a lawn that can be handled by Robomow is 3/4 acre. If your lawn is much bigger, you can purchase an additional Robomow and split your lawn between the two mowers.

Robomow can handle almost any type of residential lawns with a total area of up to 3/4 acre. The maximum slope inside the lawn that can be handled by Robomow is 20 degrees (35%). Robomow can also handle multi-zone lawns, and you can mow any separated grass patch using manual mowing via remote control (available as an accessory or in the Robomow App).

In general, Robomow is suitable for any lawn shape and size that a walk-behind mower or sit-on mower can mow.

Child Lock: The Child Lock feature prevents unintended operation of Robomow by an accidental press of one of the buttons. Only pressing two buttons in a certain order will initiate the operation. Anti-Theft / Disabling Device: The Anti-Theft / Disabling Device system provides the user with a disabling function that prevents anyone from using or driving the Robomow without a valid code. You will be prompted to enter a four-digit code of your choice, which you can use as your personal security code. Lift Sensor: If the mower is lifted up from the ground during blade operation, the blade will stop rotating immediately. Tilt Sensor: When the mower is tilted up towards a vertical position, the blade will stop immediately. Obstruction Sensor: Robomow detects when there is an obstacle in its way during operation. When the mower collides with an obstacle, the mower stops the rotation of the blade immediately, then stops movement in that direction and reverses itself away from the obstacle. Emergency Stop Button: Pressing the STOP button at any time during operation will stop both the mower and the blade immediately. Safety Switch: Switching off the Safety Switch will prevent any operation of Robomow. You must switch this off before lifting Robomow, and before any maintenance is done. Sealed Batteries: The batteries that operate Robomow are completely sealed and will not leak any type of fluids, regardless of their position. Base Station / Perimeter Switch and Perimeter Wire:  Robomow cannot operate without a Perimeter Wire installed and activated through the Base Station / Perimeter Switch. In the event the Perimeter Switch is turned off or otherwise fails to function, Robomow will stop operating.

Robomow comes equipped with a number of features that make it exceptionally safe.  Robomow also fully complies with all of the safety standards set for robotic lawn mowers. Nevertheless, we do not recommend leaving Robomow unattended when there are pets or small children in the vicinity.

It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire. Grass will soon grow over the wire, making it invisible. However, you may do so if you wish - up to 5 cm (2 inches) deep.

Objects such as flower beds, ponds, or small trees can be protected by creating “Perimeter Islands,” which are demarcated areas of the lawn where Robomow does not enter. In areas where obstacles are grouped closely together, they should be demarcated by a single, continuous Perimeter Island. Obstacles that are vertical, relatively rigid, and higher than 15 cm (6 inches), such as trees or phone or power poles, do not need a Perimeter Island. Robomow will simply turn when it collides with these obstacles.

Yes. For Robomow to operate in your lawn, a Perimeter Wire must be installed around the entire lawn, and around protected areas within the lawn area. Proper installation of the Perimeter Wire is critical for the quality and reliability of Robomow’s operation. You can hire a professional installation service (recommended) or do the installation yourself. For more information about professional installation services, please refer to the Robomow website at www.robomow.com.

Yes! “Robomow App” – the Robomow mobile application - gives you full control of your mower from the convenience of your smartphone. The Robomow App brings you a lawn mowing experience unlike any other. Wherever you are – on the sofa, in the garden, out and about– interacting with your mower has never been faster, easier or more enjoyable. The Robomow App allows you to control your mower from the convenience of your smartphone. Mow those small patches located away from your main lawn and navigate from one lawn to the other – effortlessly. All your settings are on one convenient screen: you can adjust your lawn size settings, set your mower's weekly schedule, and define your mowing zones… all from your mobile device. In addition, the GSM Module, which is available as an accessory, allows you to receive operational and security alerts directly from your Robomow to your mobile device, anywhere in the world. In addition, subject to your approval, the GSM Module is capable of collecting technical data about your Robomow and sending it to a centralized Support Center in order to constantly improve its performance.

The SmartMow feature allows more efficient mowing operation through smooth and continuous turns when reaching the lawn’s edge.

The TurboMow feature allows faster and stronger mowing of high grass during the first cut of the season. During TurboMow mode, Robomow reduces its driving speed, doubles the number of mowing hours, and works at the highest RPM. This will already provide you with better mowing results after the initial mowing cycle.

Robomow will operate if the ambient temperature is higher than 37° F. If the temperature is lower than 37° F, Robomow will display “Low Temperature,” and will not leave the Base Station. If the temperature drop happens during operation, Robomow will return to the Base Station.

Robomow is equipped with an anti-theft feature, which sounds an alarm in the event of unintended use or removal of the mower from its designated area. The anti-theft function prevents anyone from using or driving Robomow unless a valid PIN code is entered.

Mowing in a random pattern ensures cutting from different directions. This produces a beautiful-looking lawn and a homogenous surface that always looks as if it was just cut. Additionally, a random mowing pattern leaves no uncut grass, making it the most reliable way to cover an entire lawn.

When battery capacity is low, Robomow automatically starts searching for the Base Station, where it will recharge and begin mowing again as needed.

Robomow has a unique 'Edge Mode'. The only mower that cuts beyond its wheel, Robomow is designed to drive on the very edge of your lawn, cutting the lawn's entire edge for a superb, all-around finish.

Yes, Robomow is quiet enough to run at night as well.

Robomow can mow in rainy weather, but for the health of your lawn, we don’t recommended mowing wet grass. Since Robomow finishes the work faster than competing mowers designed for similar-sized lawns, it doesn’t have to mow in rain to be able to maintain your lawn. Instead, Robomow is smartly equipped with a rain sensor, which halts operation in rainy or highly humid weather.

Robomow continuously alternates between mowing and charging until it completes the required mowing time for your lawn (based on the area of your lawn). When completing the mowing of the entire area (the Mowing Cycle), it will stay in the Base Station until the next Mowing Cycle starts. By default, Robomow completes two Mowing Cycles per week, in order to keep your lawn healthy and looking good. However if your lawn requires more time to maintain, you can easily adjust the time Robomow runs in a single Mowing Cycle.

Robomow’s mowing schedule is defined by three major parameters: ⦁    Lawn area ⦁    Inactive times ⦁    Mowing frequency The lawn area defines the required mowing time for your lawn – this is the duration of a single mowing cycle. The inactive times define the hours and days when Robomow will rest. The mowing frequency parameter defines how often a mowing cycle is repeated (once a week, twice a week, etc.). During active times, Robomow will continuously alternate between mowing and charging until it completes the entire mowing cycle. After a mowing cycle is completed, it will stay in the Base Station until the next Mowing Cycle should start, depending on the configured mowing frequency. By default, Robomow completes two Mowing Cycles per week in order to keep your lawn healthy and looking good. However if your lawn requires more maintenance time, you can easily adjust the time Robomow runs in a single Mowing Cycle, by setting the “Mowing Hours (%)” parameter.

This varies, depending on the size of your lawn and other factors. However, it’s important to note that Robomow has the widest cutting width of any robotic mower in the market, which allows it to finish the mowing faster, leaving you with plenty of time to enjoy your lawn.

Robomow does not work with electric dog fences. If any of your neighbors have an electric fence make sure there is a minimum of 6 feet between the Robomow wire and the electric dog fence wire.

Robomow detects when there is an obstacle in its way during operation. When the mower collides with an obstacle, the mower will stop the rotation of the blade immediately, and then stop movement in that direction and reverse itself away from the obstacle. Obstacles that are vertical, relatively rigid, and higher than 15 cm (6 inches) do not need to be protected or removed from the lawn. Robomow will turn away after colliding with these obstacles.

Since Robomow moves in a random pattern, it doesn’t have to know where it has mowed already to ensure uniform coverage of at least 98% of your lawn. All it has to know is the area of your lawn, in order to derive the required mowing time to cover the lawn properly.

Robomow cuts the grass into very small clippings that are buried in the roots of the lawn, where they decompose and act as a natural fertilizer for your grass. Grass clippings contain 80-85% water, and release valuable nutrients back into the soil.

Robomow is a robotic lawnmower designed to mow and maintain your lawn on its own. Robomow requires a simple one-time installation of a Base Station and a Perimeter Wire, which will mark the lawn boundaries. The Perimeter Wire is flush at the ground level, and it will get covered by grass within a few weeks. Robomow recognizes the Perimeter Wire using special sensors and makes sure to always stay inside the designated area. Robomow will automatically mow the lawn, and continuously alternates between mowing and charging. It independently leaves the Base Station and cuts the lawn by moving around it in a random pattern, until the entire area is evenly cut.

In most cases no other equipment needs to be purchased, since Robomow comes fully equipped with everything required for its operation. In some cases, when you need to define a Separated Zone, you may need an additional Base Station or Perimeter Switch, which are available as accessories. To see the full list of available Robomow accessories please visit our website at www.robomow.com.

Robomow operates a dedicated central Contact Center, which provides direct support for all Robomow customers. A Robomow service operator can identify the majority of faults using Robomow’s remote diagnostics tools (such as Remote Access via the Robomow App), and then send a part for easy replacement. In this way, the unique Modular Design concept of Robomow products minimizes repair time and improves customer satisfaction.
