2.2 How Robomow Works for You
• First, you need to install a perimeter wire around the entire lawn
and around protected areas within the lawn area.
• The Perimeter Wire sets the boundaries for Robomow. The
Perimeter Wire is laid on the edges of the lawn and around
trees, plants, ponds and objects that you want to prevent
Robomow to run into.
• If the supplied wire is not sufcient, more wire can be purchased
and spliced to the existing wire with a supplied connector.
• Small pegs are used to fasten the Perimeter Wire into the
ground, below grass level.
• The Perimeter Wire will gradually disappear under the growth
of new grass until it will be invisible.
• The Base Station is placed along the Perimeter Wire. It performs
two basic functions:
- Generate a signal along the Perimeter Wire.
- Charge Robomow’s batteries.
• The Power Box is connected between the Base Station and a
230V / 120V wall socket, using a 15m (50 ft.) long low voltage
cable.
• After completed the installation of the Perimeter Wire, Base Station, and the Power Box, and performing the
One-Time Setup (needs to be performed before operating Robomow for the rst time detailed instructions
are in the following chapters), Robomow will do all the mowing for you for during the entire season!
• Robomow is a robotic lawn mower powered by a rechargable battery. It leaves its Base Station at scheduled
mowing times. Robomow mows the lawn and then drives back to the Base Station to be charged and ready for
its next scheduled mowing.
• As soon as Robomow departs for mowing, the Base Station automatically triggers a special signal by the
Perimeter Wire. This signal creates a virtual wall, visible only to Robomow. This signal keeps Robomow within
the lawn boundaries, and prevents it from entering areas it was intended to skip or protect.
• In order to prevent lawn’s damage at the Base Station area and in order to improve lawn’s coverage, Robomow
will drive from the Base Station at a random distance (between 90cm to 120cm) and will randomly select an
angle of departure between 40 to 90 degrees.
Large trees: Robomow is allowed to bump into
them. at this size the objects do not require a
Perimiter Wire around them
Base Station and Power Box:
- Generates signal along the wire.
- Charges Robomow’s battery.
Robomow detects the
signal and changes
direction as it reaches
the wire

wall, visible only to Ro-
bomow

2.3 Robomow Features
• Simple One-Time Setup Robomow requires a simple one time setup, which can easily be done by the
consumer. Robomow recognizes the wire using special sensors, and makes sure it always stays inside the
designated area. Essential accessories are supplied with the product.
• Edge Cutting Unlike other robotic lawn mowers, Robomow is the only robotic mower
that has a special Edge mode, in which it follows the perimeter wire for complete
coverage of the lawn edges. Robomow is the only robotic mower to cut outside the
wheels.
• Strong Cutting System Robomow’s extra sharp blade enables to perform the rst
cut of the season, when the grass is relatively high.
• TurboMow Mode TurboMow feature allows faster and stronger mowing of a high
grass during the rst cut of the season (see P026 in Section 6.4.2 for more information).
• SmartMow Mode SmartMow feature allows more efcient mowing operation through
smooth and continuous turns at lawn’s edge (see P024 in Section 6.4.2 for more
information).
• Availability The mowing width of Robomow (28cm / 11”) and the powerful cutting
system help Robomow to nish the job very fast and leave your lawn free for the family
to enjoy.
• A Remote Control is available as an accessory and is used for driving Robomow to
a separated zone, if necessary. It is also used for mowing small patches of lawn that
cannot be reached in automatic operation.
• Grasscycling Robomow cuts the grass into very small clippings that are buried in
the roots of the lawn, where they decompose and act like a natural fertilizer. Grass
clippings contain 80-85% water and release valuable nutrients that return back into the
soil. It is the natural recycling of grass.
• Robomow App A mobile application (available for Android and iOS), which enables
user friendly and intuitive operation of your Robomow, and opens additional menu
options and features.

3.1.2 “Main Zone + Sub-Zone(s)“ Type Lawn
This type of lawn consists of more than
one zone, where zones are connected by
a narrow pass.
In this type of lawn, Robomow will be able
to drive from one zone to the other in order
to mow the whole area.
If you answer “yes” to all of the following
questions, your lawn is a “Main Zone + Sub-
Zone” type lawn:
o Is your grass area one continuous area?
o Are parts of your lawn separated from the Main Zone?
o Is there a Narrow Pass of at least 1m (3.3 ft.) for Robomow to drive between these zones?
o Is this Narrow Pass rm, in one level and smooth (not stony, sandy or elevated)?
For example: grass area, sidewalk, rm path, solid ground.
Such additional areas are called Sub-Zones.
If your lawn contains a Sub-Zone as dened in this section, refer to Section 6.4.2 (Add Sub-Zone number
p022 in the table).
Dening Sub-Zone(s) will enable Robomow to drive through the Narrow Pass in order to get to a Sub-Zone and
to mow both the Main Zone and its Sub-Zone(s) one zone at a time.
If your lawn does not match this description, skip to the next Section 3.1.3 of this chapter: “Separate Zones”.
3.1.3 “Separated Zones” Type Lawn
“Separated Zones” type lawn consists of two or more zones that are not connected. Robomow cannot drive
between these zones.
If you answer “yes” to at least one of the following questions, your lawn is of the “Separated Zones” type.
o Are parts of your lawn separated by
fences, sidewalks, or other objects
that Robomow cannot pass?
Or
o Are parts of your lawn separated by
a gravel path or similar material that
may damage the mower blade?
Or
o Are the zones of your lawns joined
by a pass that is too narrow for
Robomow to drive through: less
than 1m (3.3 ft.) in width?
Or
o Are the zones of your lawn situated at lower or higher level?
If your lawn contains a Separated Zone as dened in this section, refer to Section 6.4.2 (Add Separated
Zone - number p014 in the table).
If your lawn does not t any of these descriptions, it is probably either a “Main Zone Only” or
“Main Zone +Sub- Zone” type. Skip to Section 3.3 – Select Base Station and Power Box Location
.
 A lawn may consist of up to 2 Separated Zones
.
 The mower must be carried or driven to this area manually.
 Any of the 3 types can be a combination of more than one type of lawn.
