4. USE
4.2 Using the timer
Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on page 44.) to
avoid a downtrodden lawn. When setting the timer,
calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about 45
m
2
per hour and day (30 m
2
for the GARDENA
R40Li).
Example
If the working area is 360 m
2
in size, the robotic
lawnmower must operate for 8 hours a day (12
hours for the GARDENA R40Li). The times are
approximate and depend for instance on grass
quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
The factory setting for the timer is 07:00-23:00
(07:00-22:00 for the GARDENA R40Li) and it allows
mowing every day of the week. This setting is
suitable for a working area of about 700 m
2
(400 m
2
for the GARDENA R40Li).
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.
Standby
The robotic lawnmower has an inbuilt standby period
of at least 8 hours a day (11 timmar för GARDENA
R40Li). The standby period provides for instance a
good opportunity to water or play games on the lawn.
Example 1
The times used in this example are applicable to
GARDENA R40Li, but the principle is the same
for GARDENA R70Li.
Work period 1: 07:00 - 22:00
Work days: All days
The factory setting ensures that the robotic
lawnmower begins cutting the lawn at 07.00. The
mower is parked in the charging station from
20.00 and rests until it starts cutting again at
07.00.
If the timer setting is divided into two work
periods, the standby period can be divided into a
number of periods. The maximum operating time
can however be a maximum of up to 8 hours (11
hours for the GARDENA R40Li).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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.
