GETTING TO KNOW LANDROID

HOW LANDROID WORKS

In the following section, we would like to help you better understand how Landroid works.
Landroid is an autonomous machine, capable of operating on its own. It knows when it needs to go to its charging base, can sense when it is raining, can stop itself if it senses a problem and knows to stop, draw back, and turn around when it bumps into something blocking its path. To prevent an accident, Landroid will also automatically stop its blade disc from rotating if it is lifted off the ground.

Smart auto scheduling

Landroid programs itself, learns about your lawn and builds the perfect schedule for it. Using cloud computing, Landroid continuously fine-tunes mowing cycles to the actual growth rate of your grass. Even though you can manually program it, we recommend you take advantage of this advanced auto-scheduling by connecting Landroid to the internet and using the free Landroid app.

Charges itself

When your Landroid needs to recharge, it will stop mowing and follow the boundary wire in an anti-clockwise direction back to its charging base. Once charging is complete, Landroid will automatically resume mowing or stay in the charging base according to its mowing schedule.

Border management

Landroid is programmed to mow the grass along the perimeter of your lawn once a week on Monday. If you want to change this pre-set, you can modify it via your smartphone or by using the control panel in "Work time-Customise Work time" menus. See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.

Rain sensor

Landroid is 100% weather proof and happy to be outside. But mowing wet grass does not give you the best finish or result. Landroid is equipped with a rain sensor which detects rain and tells Landroid to stop mowing and go back to its charging base.

Rain delay time

After a rainfall, Landroid re-starts when the grass is no longer wet. The default Rain Delay time is 180 minutes. You can change the Rain Delay time setting via Landroid App or by using the control panel. See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.

In more extreme weather

In case of a lightning storm, protect Landroid by unplugging the charging base, disconnecting the boundary wire, and making sure Landroid is not allowed to charge. In the Winter and especially in case of very cold weather and snow, we recommend you store your Landroid inside. In some countries we offer a Winter servicing of your Landroid so it's ready for the Spring growing season. Contact your dealer or check online for more details.

No more grass clippings to collect

Landroid's daily mowing produces very short clippings that don't need to be raked. These clippings are a perfect organic nutrient for your lawn. Frequent mowing boosts the density of grass blades and effectively prevents the propagation of weeds.

Cut to edge

Landroid M and L models have a cut to edge feature. The special offset blade gets as close as possible to the border of your lawn, leaving you little or no trimming to do.

Cutting Height

Landroid's cutting height can be adjusted between 30mm-60mm at 10mm steps. Before starting your Landroid for the first time, make sure your grass is no longer than 10cm. If longer, use a regular mower to cut it before operating Landroid. If you want to drastically shorten the height of your grass, it is recommended that you do so progressively, by adjusting the cutting height in steps.

Security & PIN Protection

To prevent unauthorised people from being able to use it, Landroid is protected by a PIN code that you can easily set up. If Landroid is connected to your Wi-Fi network, you can lock it on your smartphone through the app. If additional security is required, we even have a Find my Landroid option which allows you to track your Landroid via a built in pre-paid SIM.

INSTALLING

INSTALLING LANDROID YOURSELF? EASIER THAN YOU MAY THINK
Installing your Worx Landroid is easier if you carefully follow these instructions. In the end, it is a matter of installing the charging station and laying the boundary wire all around your lawn. In addition to this manual, you can use the Get Started guide that's inside the box and watch the comprehensive video tutorials on our YouTube channel*.
* This information is provided for your convenience but does not replace the instruction manual and the safety instructions that needs to be read and understood.

• Patrol your lawn to plan installation
• Install the charging station
• Lay the boundary wire
• Connect charging station to AC
• Power up Landroid.
  Test and get ready to mow

EVERY MINUTE SPENT IN PLANNING SAVES YOU 10 MINUTES IN EXECUTION
Installing Landroid is even easier if you have made a clear idea of what you need to do. A proper planning will also help you avoid mistakes or having to rework the installation once it's done.

On the surface or buried

Landroid's boundary wire is designed to stay on the surface of your lawn. Nearly invisible from the first day, it will be engulfed in the soil in a few weeks. If you will want to bury the wire, it is recommended to first peg it down and test the installation is successful by running Landroid over the perimeter. This allows you to easily check everything and, if necessary, change the layout before burying the wire. Bury the wire no more than a few centimetres below ground level, so that the wire ensures good signal.

Plan for the charging station

The charging station is where your Landroid goes to have its battery recharged. It's also the parking lot where it rests in between one mowing session and the next.
Locate a proper position for it, bearing in mind:

• It needs to be powered, so it should be no more than 10m away from an AC mains outlet
• If possible, choose a shaded position as batteries and chargers don't like over-heating
• The base needs to sit on flat land to ensure effective docking
• Avoid places close to irrigation sprinklers

You can place the charging station on your lawn or on a hard surface like a walkway, provided that the lawn and the hard surface are at the same height (no steps).
To enter the station, Landroid needs at least 80cm straight path in front. On the exit side, it needs at least 30cm straight path before a left turn (fig. 1). If the turn is to the right, there is no need for a straight path (fig. 2).

Charging station checklist:

• within reach of AC mains
• in shade
• straight path on entrance; straight path on exit if necessary
• flat land
• no irrigation sprinklers nearby

Plan for the boundary wire

The wire has to be placed at a certain distance from the edge of the lawn. This distance changes depending on what's on the other side of the edge. Different parts of your lawn may border different scenarios:

1. If the edge of the lawn borders a step: keep the wire 26cm from the edge.
   
2. If the edge of the lawn borders a path at the same height: keep the wire 10cm from the edge.
   
3. If the edge of the lawn borders gravel: keep the wire 26cm from the edge, as Landroid's wheels may slip on gravel.
   

If a side of your lawn borders a neighbor's lawn with a robotic mower in use, lay your wire 1m apart from your neighbor's wire to avoid possible interference.

PATROL YOUR LAWN

Landroid is designed to manage the most complex of lawns. Carry out a visual inspection of your lawn so you are prepared for a trouble-free installation of the boundary wire.

Identify forbidden areas

You don't want your robot mower to behead flowers, dive into a water feature, or shred tree roots that emerge from the ground. Locate these areas and surround them with boundary wire to prevent Landroid from accessing them.
The boundary wire is a single loop connected on both ends to the charging station, so you will have to depart with the wire from the border, surround the area you want to protect, then take the wire back to the border as illustrated here in fig. 1.

If areas to be surrounded are far away from the border of your lawn, or if you have several areas and tree roofs to protect, this traditional method is time consuming.

A great alternative is to purchase Landroid's Off-Limits option. With this, you simply surround forbidden areas with the Off-Limits digital fence, which does not need to be connected to the boundary loop (fig. 2). The Off-Limits digital fence is also great to protect seasonal equipment (e.g. a trampoline) or for protecting new changes to the layout of your lawn without having to rework the boundary wire.

Identify obstacles

Landroid's bump sensor can manage solid obstacles such as trees, furniture and the like, which don't need to be surrounded by wire. If your lawn has several obstacles and trees close to each other, we recommend you to purchase the Landroid ACS option, an intelligent ultrasonic auto-pilot that makes your Landroid steer around obstacles instead of bouncing into them.

NOW ROLL YOUR SLEEVES UP. WHEN IT'S DONE IT'S DONE!

Now that you have planned the installation in every detail, you are ready to take action. Before starting, you may want to use your old mower for the last time to clean up your lawn and make the installation easier.

Fix the charging station in the selected location

• Secure the base to the ground by means of the supplied screws, using the supplied Allen key (fig.1)
  
• If you position the base on hard surface, fix it with plug and screw fixings (not supplied)

Connect one end of the boundary wire to the charging station

• Strip the end of the wire with a pair of scissors (fig. 2)
  
• Open the plastic door and insert the stripped end into the red left clamp (fig. 3)
  
• Pass the wire through the guide of the base, as shown in fig. 3

Lay the boundary wire around your lawn

• Use the supplied gauge to set the distance wire to edge
• If there is a step at the edge of your lawn, keep the wire at 26cm from it (fig. 4)
  
• If there is no step, keep the wire at 10cm from the edge (fig. 5)
  

Secure the wire to the ground using pegs

• Place pegs at approximately 80cm to each other (fig. 6)
  
• Make sure the wire is always in close touch with the ground (fig. 7)
  

Lay perimeter islands, if needed

• Protect flower beds, ponds, tree roots and other areas by surrounding them with the boundary wire
• Depart the edge at a right angle to reach the area to be protected
• Surround the area with the wire, keeping 26cm distance, until you close the island
• Always lay the wire clockwise. Failing to do so will make the mower drive into the island
• Return to the edge of the lawn following the same path
  

Bertelsen method: how to make perfect 90° angles with corners facing the lawn

If there are 90 degree corners that face the inside of your lawn, use the Bertelsen ruler to help Landroid make perfect turns (and remove the risk that Landroid hits an obstacle on the border of the lawn whilst doing this manoeuvre).

Close the loop

Once you have completed laying the wire on the perimeter of your lawn, you will arrive back to the charging base.

• Pass the wire through the guide in the base, up to the clamp (fig.10)
  
• Cut the exceeding wire and strip the end with a pair of scissors
• Insert the stripped end into the black right clamp

Final steps

The boring part is over! There are only a few more steps to go:

• Connect the charging station to the AC mains socket (fig. 11)
  
• If everything is fine, the LED will light green
• If there's a trouble in the loop, such as broken wire or wire ends not properly clamped, the LED will turn red. Check that everything is fine and see the FAQ session if the problem persists
• Open the rear of Landroid and insert the PowerShare battery into the slot until it clicks (fig.12)
  
• Place Landroid on charge by making sure a good contact is established with the base (fig. 13). The LED will blink green; once the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn solid green.
  
  Let Landroid charge the battery for a while. Whilst it is charging you may want to take a well-deserved break: get familiar with the following instructions, and connect Landroid to your Wi-Fi network.

Joining up the boundary wire

Landroid box includes two small, waterproof boundary wire connectors. They can be used for the following:

• When your lawn has a very long perimeter and you need extra boundary wire to complete the installation. Please do not exceed 350m of boundary wire: this is the maximum length of the boundary wire perimeter
• When the boundary wire is cut by accident and you need to fix it
• When you decide to rework your garden in the future and need to modify the original boundary wire installation

The connectors are waterproof and provide optimal electric connection.

• Insert both ends of the wire into any two of the three holes of the connector; no need to strip the wires
  
• Insert the wires fully until both wire ends are visible on the other side of the connector
• Press the connector firmly by using a pair of pliers
  

Attention: it is not recommended to simply splice the boundary wire with insulating tape or use a screw terminal block for connection. A broken circuit may occur after a period of time as soil moisture can oxidize the wire.

Once connected, Landroid can access its unique auto scheduling instructions from the cloud and is able to download the latest software to optimise its performance.

CONFIGURE LANDROID TO YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS

You can supercharge your Landroid model with five unique options that can optimise the performance of Landroid to fit your unique garden and your individual needs. Here is a quick overview—for more information visit our website.

Intelligent obstacle avoidance with ultrasonic sensors.

• Conventional robotic mowers are blind. They bump into objects and can easily get lost. Daily bumps also damage your trees, plants and outdoor furniture. A Landroid fitted with the ACS option avoids all this: it steers effortlessly through obstacles
• Landroid uses automotive-grade ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles. Using this object awareness, Landroid's auto-pilot technology steers to avoid them

Give simple instructions via voice control instead of having to hit keys.

• Voice-activated personal assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant only work with internet connectivity. This is why we have developed an advanced voice control that does not need the internet
• With the Voice Control option added you simply push the large red stop button and Landroid asks you simple questions. Based on your reply, Landroid behaves accordingly. It's as simple as that

The Off Limits option creates a boundary around areas of your lawn without the need to connect with your main boundary wire.

• You can use it to greatly simplify the installation of Landroid by removing the need to surround inner areas with the main boundary wire
• It's also great for making areas of your lawn temporarily off limits. For example, with seasonal equipment like a trampoline
• Or, you can make a permanent change to your lawn without disturbing your original Landroid boundary wire

Protect your Landroid from theft using GPS combined with a mobile signal. Thanks to its cellular module, this accessory also eliminates the need for Wi-Fi or RadioLink to stay connected to the internet at all times.

• If your Landroid is taken outside its geofenced area, you will get immediately notified on your smartphone via the Landroid app. You will be able to lock the robot and track it. The GPS module will work even if the main battery is removed
• Find My Landroid provides data connectivity with its multi-IMSI SIM card that works with a multitude of telecom providers, ensuring the best possible signal all the time

Regular domestic Wi-Fi networks typically only cover a fraction of the entire garden — RadioLink solves this. It create a bomb-proof radio connectivity that extends as much as 500 meters from your Wi-Fi router.

• Unleash the full potential of your Landroid's advanced Artificial Intelligence with constant online connectivity thanks to the RadioLink option

MAINTENANCE

Your Landroid works hard and needs to be cleaned and checked from time to time. This section of our guide helps you keep Landroid in good shape so it can last for years without troubles. Here's how to take care of your Landroid

KEEP IT SHARP

Landroid does not cut grass like other mowers. Its cutting blades are razor sharp on 2 edges and rotate in both directions for maximum cutting capacity.

• The blade turning disc makes a clockwise and counterclockwise rotation at random to use both cutting edges and minimize the frequency of replacing the blades
• Each cutting blade will last up to 2 months when it is programmed to mow every day
• Always check to see if the blades are chipped or damaged and replace them if they are
• When the cutting blades are dull and worn out, they should be replaced with the spare blades provided with your Landroid. Spare blades are also available at your nearest Landroid retailer

Before cleaning, adjusting, or replacing the blades, turn your Landroid OFF and remove the battery. Always wear protective gloves.

Replacing the Blades

Remove the battery (fig. 1) and gently flip the Landroid over (fig.2)

Take the screws off the blades with a screwdriver (fig. 3 - 4)

Firmly screw on the new blades (fig. 5 - 6)

Refit the battery (fig. 7)

Attention: When fitting new blades, make sure you replace ALL the blades.

• Always use new screws when fitting blades. This is important to ensure blade retention and balance the blade turning disc. Failure to use new screws could cause serious injury
• Important: After screwing the blade to the blade disc, make sure the blade is able to spin freely

KEEP IT CLEAN

Your Landroid should be cleaned regularly. This helps keep it in good condition, especially removing dirt, debris and the build-up of grass from daily mowing. Turn Landroid off before cleaning it. For extra safety, remove the battery.

DO NOT use a hose, high pressure washer or otherwise pour running water on your Landroid. High pressure water can go inside the sealings and damage electronic and mechanical parts.

Cleaning the upper body

• Clean with a spray bottle filled with water. Don't use solvents or polishers
• Use a brush or a clean cloth to remove built-up dirt

Cleaning the Bottom

• Flip Landroid upside down
• Remove debris and grass clippings using a brush to remove
• Be careful not to touch the blades with your hands. Wear gloves for protection
• Clean the blade disc, the chassis and the front wheel(s) thoroughly with a soft brush or moist rag
• Rotate the blade disc to ensure it rotates freely. Remove any obstructions. Remove any lodged debris so that they don't cause a crack in the blade disk. Even the tiniest crack effects mowing performance
• Check the blades spin freely around the fixing screws. Remove any obstructions

Cleaning the drive wheels

• Remove mud from wheels with a brush in order to ensure good grip of the tread

Clearing the charging contacts

• Clean the contact pins located on the charging base and the charging strips located on the Landroid using a cloth
• Periodically remove any build-up of grass clippings or debris around the contact pins and the charging strips to ensure Landroid successfully charges each time

KEEP IT CHARGED

The heart of Landroid is its 20V Li-Ion Worx Powershare Battery.

• For the proper storage of the battery, make sure it is fully charged and kept in a cool dry place between -20°C~60°C
• The recommended Landroid operation temperature is between 0-55°C
• The life-span of Landroid's battery depends on hours of usage and the length of use per day during the mowing season

Battery maintenance during storage

• Landroid can be charged manually without the boundary wire
• Connect the charging base to a suitable power supply. The green light on the charging base will turn on
• Manually dock Landroid into the charging base while Landroid is powered off
• The green light on the charging base will flash and Landroid will begin to charge
• When the battery is fully charge, the green light will turn solid green

KEEP IT STORED OVER THE WINTER

Although Landroid is designed and built to survive the most severe weather conditions, we recommend storing it in your shed or garage during the winter. To prepare it for winter hibernation:

• Clean it thoroughly
• Fully charge the battery
• Turn the power off

Getting back to work in the Spring
When it is time to re-start Landroid for the new season, please perform the following checks:

• Update the time and date settings via the app
• If you notice signs of oxidation on the charging contacts of Landroid and the charging station, clean these with a fine grade emery cloth
• Full charge Landroid's battery before operating

ADJUSTING THE MOWING TIME

Landroid creates its own automatic schedule and working time based on the size of your lawn and other factors. Our recommendation is not to manually adjust these settings. However, there are 3 ways to adjust the mowing time if you want to.

1. Use the app and follow the simple on-screen menus
   
2. Adjust the working time percentage via Landroid's control panel
   Depending on the growth rate of your grass, you may want Landroid to work a little harder or a little less. You can adjust the working time in percentage increments and Landroid will recalculate its working time automatically.
   
   • Turn on the mower and insert PIN code
   • Press the ↑(A) key or the ↓(B) key to adjust the working time in 10% increments
   • Landroid will now automatically calculate a revised working time
3. Specifically adjust each day
   Landroid is factory set to automatically start at 09:00am each day, but you might want to adjust this. Here's how.
   • Turn on Landroid and insert PIN code
   • Press the → (D) key
   • Scroll with the ←(C) and → (D) keys to the clock icon and press OK to confirm
   • Now you are in 'working time' menu
   • Select 'Auto Work Time' and press OK
   • Select size of your lawn in m² by scrolling with the ↑(A) and ↓(B) key and choosing the right size
   • Press the Return key to go back to 'working time' menu
   • Now select 'Customise work time' option, press OK
   • Days of the week will appear with working time in hours and minutes
   • Now select a day of the week, press OK
   • Now a working time menu will appear for that day
   • Press OK to make the time digits flash
   • Select new start time in hours and minutes by pressing the ←(C) and →(D) arrows. You can change hour or minute time values using the ↑(A) and ↓(B) keys
   • Then select new stop time in hours and minutes. Then press OK to confirm
   • When successful you will see the total working time for that day has been updated based on the start and stop times that you have input
   • To change the start time for other days of the week, go back to the previous customize working time menu and repeat the steps above

Please note that because Landroid is autonomous, if you select 'Auto Work Time' you will reset any customized working times you might have programmed erlier.

Rain Delay Change
If you live in an area of high rainfall, it might be useful to adjust the rain delay setting to allow Landroid to operate when it is wet. To do this follow these steps:

• From the 'General Settings' menu go to 'Rain start delay' option by pressing the ↓(B) key, then press OK
• You will now see the default rain delay of 180 min. Press OK to edit this timing
• You can use the ←(C) and →(D) arrows to select the digits and ↑(A) and ↓(B) arrows to increase or decrease the rain delay
• To remove the rain delay completely, select 000 min.
• Then press back button to exit

Setting up different zones
Landroid is designed for mowing complex lawns evenly. Nevertheless, sometimes you might need to adjust the working time in each zone. To set this feature up, first you must define these different zones of your garden (up to a maximum of 4) and then you can adjust the working time in each one. To define each zone follow these steps:

• Start with Landroid in its charging base
• Turn on Landroid and insert PIN code
• Press the → (D) key and select clock icon and press OK to confirm
• Now you are in working time menu
• Scroll down to 'Define zones' option. Press OK
• You can select up to 4 zones
• Select the number of zones you want and press OK
• Now the display prompts you to press START to set up the zone
• As soon as you press START, the mower will start to follow the wire
• Press STOP as Landroid reaches the zone you want to mark as Zone 1
• Save your choice by selecting YES
• Press START to make Landroid reach the following zone, then press STOP when it reaches zone 2.
• Repeat the steps above if you need more zones to be defined

Customise working zones
To customise the working time in each zone:

• Turn on Landroid and insert PIN code
• Press the → (D) key
• Scroll with the → (D) key to the clock icon and press OK to confirm
• Now you are in working time menu
• Scroll down with ↓(B) key to 'Working time adjust' and press OK
• Numbered zones will appear
• Zone 1 will have a prompt to input the working area in m² and the working time percentage for this zone
• Use the ↑(A) and ↓(B) arrows to input the working area in m² then press OK
• Then the cursor moves to the working percentage
• Here you can adjust the percentage
• You can then scroll to the next zone using the ←(C) and →(D) arrows to adjust the size and working time of the Zone 2
• Then press back button to exit
• Please note the sum of the percentages of all zones must equal 100%
