Notes On Mowing; General; Mulching; Active Times - Stihl RMI 522.0 C Instruction Manual

If the robotic mower is not docked, briefly
pressing the button activates the docking
station. The wire signal remains active for
48 hours if the robotic mower has not
previously docked.
Pressing the button for 2 seconds
switches off the docking station.
Activating Homecall:
Briefly press the button twice within
2 seconds during a mowing
operation.
The robotic mower ends the running
mowing operation, searches for the
perimeter wire and returns to the docking
station to recharge the battery. No further
mowing operation takes place in the
current active time.
Homecall remains active until the
robotic mower is docked. Homecall
can also be ended by pressing the
button on the docking station twice
again.

14. Notes on mowing

14.1 General

The robotic mower is designed for the
automatic mowing of lawns. The grass is
kept short through continuous mowing.
The result is a perfect, thick lawn.
Lawns that have not previously been
mown using a conventional lawn mower
will only be mown neatly following several
mowing operations. Especially in the case
of high grass, a good cutting pattern is only
achieved after a few mowing operations.
In hot, dry conditions, the lawn should not
be kept too short as it will otherwise be
burnt by the sun and become unsightly.

The cutting pattern will be better with a
sharp blade than with a blunt one; the
blade should therefore be replaced
regularly.

14.2 Mulching

The robotic mower is a mulching mower.
During mulching, the grass clippings are
further shredded in the mowing deck
housing after cutting. They then fall back
into the turf, where they remain and
decompose.
The finely shredded clippings return
organic nutrients to the lawn, serving as a
natural fertiliser. Fertiliser requirements
are thereby reduced significantly.

14.3 Active times

In the mow plan type "Standard", the
robotic mower mows throughout the entire
active time, only interrupted by charging
operations.
In the mow plan type "Dynamic", the
robotic mower is allowed to leave the
docking station at any time during the
active times and mow the lawn. During
these times, mowing operations,
charging operations and rest periods
take place. The robotic mower
automatically distributes the mowing and
charging operations between the available
time windows.
During installation, active times are
automatically distributed over the entire
week. Time reserves are taken into
account – this ensures perfect lawn care,
even if individual mowing operations
cannot take place, (e.g. due to rain).
During the active times, third
parties must keep out of the danger
area. The active times should be
adapted accordingly.
Moreover, the applicable local
regulations on the use of robotic
mowers as well as the information
in the "For your safety"
section ( 6.1) must be observed
and the active times changed
accordingly in the "Mowing plan"
menu as required. (
In particular, you should check the
times of the day and night at which
it is permissible to use the machine
with the responsible authorities.

14.4 Mowing duration

The mowing duration specifies how many
hours per week the lawn is to be mown. It
can be extended or reduced. (
The mowing duration corresponds to the
time during which the robotic mower mows
the lawn. Times during which the battery is
charged are not part of the mowing
duration.
During initial installation, the robotic
mower automatically calculates the
mowing duration based on the specified
size of the mowing area. This reference
value is based on a normal lawn under dry
conditions.

For 100 m , the robotic mower needs on
average 100 minutes.
