Manual Operation
5.1 Driving and Navigating
The Robomower is equipped with a Manual Controller that allows you to easily drive it. Using
your thumb or index finger of your right hand, gently press the navigator button in the direction
you want to drive. The button is omni-directional, allowing for slight turns as well as sharp turns,
all the way to a complete circle.
5.2 Manual Mowing
You have the ability to manually activate the blades on the Robomower in order to trim small
areas. After the blades are activated you may drive the mower using the navigator button and
you may cut in any direction the navigator button will operate. The manual mowing operation on
the Manual Controller is a two-step OPC (Operator Presence Control) type system for safe use.
At any time the blades have been stopped, it will require the OPC activation process to be
repeated. During manual mowing operation, activation to any bumper sensor will shut down the
blades, requiring the blade activation process to be repeated.
!
Serious injury can occur. Always wear appropriate footwear when driving
and using the Robomower in the manual mode. Keep a safe distance from
the mower when operating it manually. Note that the reverse driving
direction is from the point of view standing at the rear of the mower. Always
look behind you when using the reverse direction drive. Do not operate the
mower in areas not suitable for manual operation or on slopes where a sure
footing is not possible. Cut across slopes for safety. Do not drive the
mower with persons sitting on it and do not manually operate within 10 feet
(3 m) of other persons or pets.
