Maximum slope is 20° The SPIDER AUTONOMOUS 2.0 is a product designed for mulching grass in unmaintained or only occasionally mown areas. The mower is operated by a single person via a remote control, which allows manual or autonomous control of the machine along pre-calculated routes in a given working area.
When driving on a slope, the operator must carefully observe and evaluate the It is strictly forbidden to increase the maximum speed or power of the engine beyond the limits specified by the manufacturer, and to make any movements of the mower and the characteristics of the terrain, especially the current grip of the wheels on the ground.
GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL OF SCRAP PRODUCTS If you consider that this machine has no longer any functional value and requires disposal, then you should take the following steps. These guidelines should be applied in accordance with applicable health, Safety Instructions safety and environmental legislation and with the assistance of approved local waste disposal and recycling facilities.

Specification SPECIFICATION The SPIDER AUTONOMOUS 2.0 is a self-propelled machine with four-wheel drive, controlled by a remote control or driven autonomously using DGNSS (a global navigation satellite system that provides real-time differential correc- tions), inertial navigation and sensors. The unique way of steering the wheels stands out for its high maneuverability both on flat ground and on slopes.

SERVICE POSITION RECOMMENDED WORKING PROCEDURES The service position is a special machine position (see picture below) that These pictograms provide basic information about working with the machine allows the operator to maintain the mowing deck. Always tilt the machine in different terrain conditions with three different modes of machine operation. towards the fuel tank to prevent oil leakage into the air filter.
Controls and Accessories REMOTE CONTROL SMAUT RCT01 The remote control (hereafter referred to as RC) not only conveys the operator’s commands to the machine, but also informs the operator about the connected machine and its status. It directly controls the movement of the machine in manual mode and in the first phase of the Perimeter mode (marking the mowed area).
6.1.1 RCT01 CONTROLS LED CONNECTED: lights up when the connection to the machine (mower) is established. RTK FIX LED: lights up when the machine has accurate position data. RTK DATA LED: lights up when the machine is receiving correction data. LED BLADE: lights up when mowing is switched on.
GNSS RTK CORRECTION STATION 6.1.2 DISPLAY SMAUT CST01 9 0 1 4 The correction station (CST) provides to the machine the position correction data (correction data) which enables the machine to determine its position with centimeter accuracy. Its functionality is a prerequisite for the machine to 3 1 0 6 operate in Autonomous and Perimeter mode.
6.2.1 CST01 START-UP PROCEDURE Its own exact position is being ascertained. This phase takes approximately 3 minutes. The exact position is compared with the stored points in the points table. If such a point is found within a distance of 5 m, the CST assumes that it is located at the exact point found.
MULTIPLE CHARGER SMAUT CHR01 Meaning of individual light signals in approximate chronological order: Multiple charger provides wireless charging of RC, charges battery cells for RC (final successful states in bold) in the socket and charges the CST by cable, both separately and simultaneously. The multiple charger can be powered by the included AC adapter or by the GSM not connected 2 SHORT RED PULSES...
