4.1 Charging
The standard charger (power supply) included with your Robomower will re-charge the Power
Pack from the ‘Recharge Battery’ level in approximately 24 hours, depending on conditions.
Figure 4.1 There is a fast charger available as an accessory. See the accessories available for
your Robomower in Chapter 10.
Connect the output lead of the charger, Figure 4.2, into the charging socket, located under the
Manual Controller holder, Figure 4.3. Connect the other end of the charger to a regular
household receptacle, 120 Volts AC and the charging process will begin (European models utilize
230 volts mains power). Lightly pivot the Manual Controller down, allowing it to rest gently on the
charging cord. DO NOT attempt to force the Manual Controller all the way to the flush position.
The Robomower charger is designed for indoor dry use only. Do not charge the Robomower
where wet contact is likely. The LCD on the Manual Controller will display the text seen in Figure
4.4 and the battery icon will continually move from empty to full to show the charging. Once the
battery is fully charged, the message will change to that as shown in Figure 4.5, reminding you to
keep it connected to the charger until the next use.
Charging is such an important aspect for assuring good performance and Power Pack life that a
special alert and power management system is incorporated into the mower to remind and alert
you when the proper charging process is not occurring.
