4.2 Using the timer

The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer
on page 46.) to avoid a downtrodden lawn. When
setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower
mows about 45 m 2 per hour and day (about 30 m
Automower 305).
®
Example
If the working area is 360 m
lawnmower must operate for about 8 hours per
day (about 12 hours for the Automower
times are approximate and depend for instance on
grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
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.
The factory setting for the timer is 05:00-24:00
(07:00-23:00 for the Automower
mowing every day of the week. This setting is
suitable for a working area of about 800 m
for the Automower ® 305).
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 about 6 hours a day (8 hours for the
Automower ® 305). The standby period provides a
good opportunity, for example, to water or play
games on the lawn.
Example 1
The times used in this example are applicable to
the Automower 305 but the principle is the same

for the Automower
Work period 1: 07:00 - 23:00
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
22.00 and rests until it starts cutting again at
07.00
