to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened. Also,
the robotic lawnmower is subjected to unnecessary
wear. If the working area is less than the robotic
lawnmower's area capacity, 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.
WARNING: Use the timer to avoid mowing
when there are children, pets and anything else
that could be damaged by the rotating blades
on the lawn.
The operating hours and days can been seen in an
overview. Active mowing per day is illustrated by a
colored bar. The rest of the time, the robotic lawnmower
is parked in the charging station.
The default timer setting allows the robotic lawnmower
to operate around the clock 7 days a week. This is

normally a suitable setting for a working area
corresponding to the maximum capacity, see
If the working area is less than maximum capacity then
the timer should be used to minimize wear on grass and
lawnmower. When setting the timer, calculate that the
robotic lawnmower mows about the number of square
meters per hour and day listed in table Work capacity

The table below provides suggestions for different timer
settings depending on the size of the lawn. The time
intervals should be seen as indicative. They may need
to be adjusted to suit the garden and for example grass
quality and growth during the season. Use the table as
follows:
• Find a work area that closest matches the size of the
lawn.
• Select an appropriate amount of work days.
• Work hours per day shows how many hours a day
the robotic lawnmower will be allowed to work for the
selected amount of work days.
• Suggested time interval shows a time interval that
corresponds to the required work hours per day.
It is possible to configure 2 work periods a day. There
can be unique work periods in each day, but it is also
possible to copy the current day's work period to all the
other days.
