17 During Operation
17.5 Manual Mowing
WARNING
Always keep the robotic mower in front of you during manual
operation and maintain a sufficient distance from the mower
at all times to reduce the risk of personal injury from thrown
objects or blade contact with your feet or other parts of your
body.
WARNING
The impact sensor and edge detection features are disabled
during manual mowing. To reduce the risk of injury, keep
bystanders, especially children, and pets or other animals
out of the mowing area. Avoid directing the mower into
obstacles or over objects that may be thrown or flung by the
mowing blade.
To mow manually:
► Charge the battery if necessary, @ 12.4.
► Remove the control panel / manual controller, @ 17.4.
► Activate the "Manual mowing" command, @ 14.3.
► Move and steer the robotic mower (2) using the navigation
pad on control panel / manual controller (1). Two forward
speeds are available:
– Slow: Press the navigation pad lightly
– Fast: Press the navigation pad firmly

To activate the mowing blade, press and hold the OK
button with your right thumb, then press the Mow
button with your left thumb. The mowing blade will
start to rotate and will continue rotating as long as the
Mow button is pressed.
► During manual mowing, keep the Mow button pressed
down with your left hand and operate the navigation pad
with your right hand.
► To deactivate the mowing blade, release the Mow button.
► Return the robotic mower to the docking station for
charging after manual mowing, @ 12.4.
17.6 Adjusting the Mowing Duration and Active
Times
During active times, the robotic mower leaves the docking
station and mows the lawn autonomously. 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. Under certain circumstances (e.g.
when grass growth is slowed by weather conditions), not all
the active times may be necessary for optimal lawn care.
The active times and the mowing duration can be changed
manually. You can set up to 3 different active times per day,
@ 14.5.
► You may wish to change the mowing duration and active
times for one of the following reasons:
– Additional active times for further mowing operations
are necessary to complete the weekly mowing duration.
– The active times need to be modified to prevent mowing
during a particular time of day.
– Individual active times need to be omitted, because the
mowing area will be in use, e.g., for a backyard party.
► You may wish to extend the mowing duration and active
times for one of the following reasons:
– There are areas which are not mowed sufficiently.
– Intensive grass growth.
– Particularly dense lawn.
