Chapter 5 - Operation

Edge Mowing
3
Note
z The first mowing chore for Robo Scooter 500 is mowing the
edge. Edge is the outer perimeter of the active zone Robo
Scooter 500 is working within. This is essential where you
placed your perimeter wire in the wire set-up.
z Edge mowing provides a clean even cut around the perime-
ter and helps to minimize the amount of trimming along
walls and other obstacles.
z Robo Scooter 500 verlässt die Basisstation (zum eingestell-
ten Zeitpunkt oder wenn Sie die GO-Taste einmal drücken),
um die Kante der Grünfläche zu mähen.
1. It will mke exactly one turn until it reaches the Base Station con-
tacts.
2. It will reverse out and move back to continue mowing the inner
area of your lawn.
Edge in None-Base Zone
1. Place Robo Scooter 500 inside the lawn, switch on the Perimeter
Switch on and press the 'GO' button once.
2. Robo Scooter 500 will automatically find the edge (perimeter). It
will now begin mowing the edge, completing one to two complete
passes around the perimeter and then turn into the lawn to mow
the inner area of the lawn.
3. It will then drive into the lawn and begin what is called the scan-
ning process.

Skipping Edge Mowing
Robo Scooter 500 provides a means that will allow you to skip
the edge mowing process and start directly with the scanning
(mowing) process.
z In order to do this, simply press the 'GO' button twice at the
initial startup of the mower. Pressing 'GO' the second time
immediately following the first press will tell the mower to
skip mowing the edge.
Scanning (Mowing of the inner area)
3
Note
The scanning process is simply a process whereby Robo
Scooter 500 is moving across your lawn while it is mowing.
z Keep in mind that the Robo Scooter 500 will not mow all the
grass on its first pass; in fact it will leave uncut grass in bet-
ween many of the passes it makes. This is expected and is
entirely normal. These uncut areas will be cut on subse-
quent passes of the Robo Scooter 500 across the lawn.
z Robo Scooter 500 will continue to run for the amount of time
selected or for the default 'MAX' time, which is generally 2.5
hours, depending on grass type and condition.
