2.4 Set Country and Perform One Time Calibration
The one time calibration process is simple and the Robomower is designed to ask you to perform
this step before it can ever be used in the automatic mode.
x Remove the Manual Controller
x Drive the Robomower to a flat and level section of the lawn, at least 4 feet (1.2 m) from
the perimeter wire
x Insert the Manual Controller in the holder and pivot it down flush
x Turn on the Perimeter Switch
x Follow the calibration setup process as shown in Figure 2.10. (next page)
Note
: If the calibration was not successful, the display will read ‘Restart Elsewhere’. Drive
the Robomower to another flat and level surface within the lawn, at least 10-15 feet (3 – 4.5
M) from the first spot and repeat the calibration process as outlined above.
2.5 Testing Wire Position for Edge Mowing
As mentioned in Chapter 1, it is best to test the position of the perimeter wire on edge mowing to
determine if any small adjustments need to be made to the wire position before driving the rest of
the wire pegs into place. Remove the Manual Controller from the holder and follow the steps in
Figure 2.9 to turn off the mowing blades for this test. Repeat this process to turn the blades back
on once you have completed this test.
x Position the Robomower towards the perimeter wire.
x Insert the Manual Controller back into the holder and pivot down flush
x Confirm the Perimeter Switch is turned on
x Press the ‘GO’ button once. The Robomower will drive to the perimeter wire and begin
tracking for edge
x Walk along the mower while following the edge. Note places where the wire should be
adjusted; the Robomower bumps into an object or wall along edge; the mower is not cutting
far enough onto adjacent surfaces like the driveway; or areas where the mower may drop off
into an adjacent area that is lower than the mowing surface.
x Slightly move the wire in these locations
x Once the test is completed and you are satisfied with the wire position, add in pegs along the
wire where the wire is not pulled down to the ground level.
