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

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.

Chapter 3 –
Planning Ahead
Getting your lawn ready for Robomow is rather simple. As every lawn is unique, we recommend
reading this chapter before starting to install the perimeter wire. Planning the wire route and
drawing a sketch of the lawn, including all obstacles and Base Station location, will make it easier
and will prevent mistakes during the setup.
Scan and watch Robomow setup & operation video.
Also available on Robomow website.
Please complete reading this “Planning Ahead” chapter before you start the setup. It will guide you in
nding the best locations for the Base Station, Power Box, and for the Perimeter Wire.
The Perimeter Wire functions is an “invisible wall” for Robomow. It sets the boundaries of lawn zones by
surrounding specic areas, as borders for the Robomow mowing. The Perimeter Wire is held to the ground by
small pegs, supplied with Robomow.
After set, the wire will becomes invisible under the growth of new grass. As soon as Robomow starts operating
a signal that runs along the Perimeter Wire keeps Robomow within its working zones and away from preset
demarcated areas.
3.1 Lawn Types: What does your lawn look like?
There are 3 basic types of lawns: Some lawns are combinations of
more than one type.
Your rst task is to determine which type is yours.
o Main Zone Only
Robomow will simply mow this lawn within its set boundaries.
o Main Zone + Sub-Zone(s)
Robomow will mow the Main Zone and will move automatically
to the Sub-Zone(s).
o Separated Zone
Robomow will mow each zone separately. Its movement
between zones is restricted. Thus, you will have to bring the
mower from the Main Zone to the Separated Zone every time
you want to mow it.
3.1.1 “Main Zone Only” Type Lawn
The “Main Zone Only” lawn consists of one whole area.
It has no Sub-Zones and no Separated Zones.
If you answer “yes” to all of the following questions,
your lawn is a “Main Zone Only” type lawn:
o Is your grass area one continuous zone?
o Are all areas of your lawn wide enough for
Robomow to navigate through effectively? (Min.
3 meters (10 ft.) wide at its narrowest point).
If your lawn does not match this description, read the next Sections to nd the style of your lawn.
If your lawn is “Main Zone Only”, you can skip to Section 3.3 of this chapter to determine the Base Station
location.

3.3 Select Power Box Locaon
Consider the following in order to select the Power Box
location:
 The Power Box will be connected to the Base
Station using the 15m (50ft.) Extension Cable.
 Select a suitable location for the Power Box to be
mounted on a wall near a power outlet.
 Locate it outside the lawn perimeter.
 Select an easily accessed spot.
 Select a dry and sheltered location.
 The Power Box is to be mounted vertically.
The Power Box is suitable for Outdoor use. Yet, it should be placed in a sheltered, dry
and well ventilated spot. The Power Box should not be exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
3.4 Planning the Perimeter Wire Layout
3.4.1
Objects inside
lawn
 Objects such as ower beds, ponds, or small trees can
be protected by creating “Perimeter Islands”, which
are demarcated areas of the lawn, where Robomow
should not enter.
 In the areas where obstacles are grouped closely
together, they should be demarcated by a single,
continuous Perimeter Island.
 Obstacles that are vertical, relatively rigid, and higher
than 15 cm (6 inches), such as trees, phone or power
poles, do not need Perimeter Island. Robomow will
turn when it collides with these obstacles.
3.4.2
Slopes
Slope on the perimeter
 The Perimeter Wire can be laid across a slope
that slants less than 10% (10cm rise per 1m).
CAUTION! If the Perimeter Wire is laid across
a slope steeper than 10%, there is a risk that
the mower will slip and cross outside the wire,
especially when the grass is wet’.
However, if there is a barrier (e.g. fence or wall)
that can protect the mower from slipping off, the
Perimeter Wire can be set on that slope.

EN
Slope inside the lawn
Robomow can mow areas inside the working area with a slope of up to 35% (35cm rise per 1m).
Tip: If the mower tilts off the ground while climbing a slope, it is too steep. Exclude this steep area from
Robomow’s cutting area.
In Lawn Slope 35%
How to calculate the slope of your lawn?
3.4.3
Distances from the Edge (Pools, Ponds, Cliffs, etc.)
RoboRuler is used to measure the distance from the edge, where the wire is to be placed.
In certain cases, near bodies of water such as pools and ponds, or great height differences such as cliffs, it is
required to maintain a greater distance from the Edge (see Section 4.2.2).
3.4.4
Interference with adjacent lawns
In case there is another robotic mower (from the same or different manufacturer) working in an adjacent lawn,
you need to keep at least 3 meters distance (10 ft.) from the perimeter wire of that lawn.
How to calculate the slope of your lawn?

4.3 Perimeter Wire within the Working Area
4.3.1 Hard Obstacles
o Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example, trees or bushes
higher than 15 cm (6”), do not need to be demarcated by the Perimeter
Wire. Robomow will turn when it collides with this type of obstacle.
4.3.2 Perimeter Islands
o Use the Perimeter Wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that
cannot withstand a collision, for example, ower beds and fountains.
o Continue uncoiling the wire, moving from the edge towards the protected object.
o Peg the Perimeter Wire around the protected object in a clockwise direction.
o Complete bordering the island and return to the spot where you left the lawn’s edge
o The wires leading to the Island and from it should be parallel and touching. Therefore, peg both wires, to and
from the island, together with the same pegs.
o Robomow will not recognize these two wires. It will mow over them as if they do not exist.
o Robomow will recognize the single blocking wire around the Perimeter Island and will not enter this area.

Min. distance between
islands: 1m (3.3ft)
Otherwise, demarcate
jointly as one island
CAUTION ! Setting the Perimeter Wire anticlockwise around an obstacle
will cause the mower to drive into the island.
Keep the following distances when setting Perimeter Islands:
- The minimum distance of the Perimeter Wire from
the protected area should be 28 cm (11 inches).
- If you need to protect a thin object, set the minimum
radius of the Island to 35 cm (15 inches).
- Maintain a minimum of 1m (3.3 ft.) between adjacent
islands.
- Maintain a minimum of 1m (3.3 ft.) between island
wire and the Perimeter Wire.
- If protected objects are grouped closely together,
demarcate them as a single Perimeter Island.
Note! A Perimeter Island should either be
rectangular or round.

4.3.3 Setting a Narrow Pass
A Narrow Pass is dened as a path that connects two zones of the lawn. The path enables Robomow to drive
between the zones while following the wire, but prevents the mower from crossing between them while mowing
the inner area of the zones. The pass has to be at least 1.2 m (4 ft.) wide to allow Robomow to drive through it.
If the pass is wider than 2 m (6.5 ft.),
There is NO need for any special setting of the Perimeter Wire. Skip to section 4.3.4. Otherwise, you need to follow
the instructions given below in order to set up a Narrow Pass.
Scan the code to view a video explaining how to
set a narrow pass
If the passage is NARROWER than 1.5m and longer then 2m,
the following wire installation needs to be done – “dual-square installation”:
1. Dene the entry to the Narrow Pass - the point you want the mower to start driving towards the Sub-Zone.
2. 50 cm (20 inches) from the Narrow Pass entry, set a Perimeter Island (refer to 4.3.2) as shown in the picture
above.
3. Continue to lay the wire along the edge at a proper distance (depending on the edge type) until coming back
to the Narrow Pass entry from the Sub-Zone side.
4. Measure 50cm (20 inches) from that point and lay another Perimeter Island with the same dimensions.
5. After completing the setup of the wire in the Sub-Zone, make sure you keep 10 cm (4 inches) between the wire
and the islands on the way back to the Main Zone.

The above setup allows Robomow to drive along the wire to reach the Sub-Zone. However, while mowing each
zone individually, it will not cross over to the other zone.

If the passage is WIDER than 1.5m:
If the Narrow Pass is wider than 1.5m (5 ft.), and you want Robomow to mow the area inside the Narrow Pass, then
you can set the wire as shown in the gure below. Such a setup allows the mower to mow inside the Narrow Pass
while mowing the inner part of the lawn, but prevents it from crossing between the zones.
1. Dene the entry to the Narrow Pass - the point you want the mower to start driving towards the Sub-Zone.
2. Set an Perimeter Island at the middle of the Narrow Pass (refer to 4.3.2) as shown in the picture above and
keep a distance of 10 cm (4 inches) from the Perimeter Wire.
3. The island dimensions should be 28 cm (11”) along the side and as wide as needed, when keeping 10 cm (4
inches) from both sides.
4. After completing the setup of the wire in the Sub-Zone, make sure you keep 10 cm (4 inches) between the wire
and the island on the way back to the Main Zone.

4.3.4 Using Sub-Zones as Remote Starting Points
There are cases when a Main Zone has two or more big parts connected by a wide (more than 2 meters) passage,
like a front and a back yards.
In order to ensure proper coverage of all Main Zone’s parts in such cases, you may want the mower to occasionally
start mowing at some specic point (other than the Base Station) along the perimeter wire. We call these points
Remote Starting Points. Setting a Remote Starting Point can be done by dening (adding) a Sub-Zone at the
desired place (see section 6.4.2, P022-P023).
Note:
During the Sub-Zone denition process you are asked to specify the area of a newly added sub-zone. In case of
a Remote Starting Point, this area should be the area of the remote part of the Main Zone. You need to reduce
Main Zone’s area setting accordingly (see section 6.4.1). See the example below. This process actually denes
the probability (or the frequency) of departures from each starting point (when for the Main Zone the Base Station
itself is a starting point).
Example:
Let’s say your Main Zone is 1000m
2
. It
has a back yard (400m2), where the
Base Station is installed, and a front yard
(600m2). In order to dene a Remote
Starting point for the front yard, start a
process of adding a Sub-Zone. Once
well inside the front yard, set the area of
the newly added Sub-Zone to 600 and
immediately reduce (see section 6.4.1)
the area of the Main Zone to 400m2.
Thus, we now have 40% probability for
the mower to start from the Base Station
to cover the back yard, 60% probability
to start from the Remote Starting point in
favor of the front yard, as demonstrated
in the following drawing:
4.4 Fastening Perimeter Wire to the
Ground
o Before starting to lay the Perimeter Wire, it is recommended to cut the grass where the wire is to be laid.
It will then be easier to attach the wire to the ground. The risk that the mower will damage the wire during
the operation is reduced.
o It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire, though you may do so, up to 5 cm (2 inches) deep.
o Pull the wire tight while hammering the peg all the way into the ground.
o Consider burying the wire at exposed areas, such as pavements or other areas with a frequent foot trafc.
WARNING !
Protect your eyes! Protect your hands!
Use proper eye protection and wear appropriate work gloves when hammering the pegs.
Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break when driving them in.
o Use a hammer to insert the pegs into the ground.
o Insert the pegs at distances that will keep the wire
down below the grass level and prevent the wire from
becoming a tripping hazard (approximately 75 cm /
30” between pegs).
• The wire and the pegs will gradually become
invisible under the growth of new grass.

EN
o If an additional wire is required in order to complete
the setup, connect it using the water-proof wire
connectors supplied with Robomow. (See Section
11.6 – Splicing the Perimeter Wire).
Use only the wire connectors supplied with Robomow.
Neither Twisted cables, nor a screw terminal insulated
with insulation tape are a satisfactory splice.
Soil moisture may cause the conductors to oxidize, which
will later cause a broken circuit.
4.5 Back at the Base Station – Completing the Perimeter Wire Setup
Once the Perimeter Wire loop is completed and pegged to the
ground, complete the setup by attaching the beginning and the
end of the Perimeter Wire to the Base Station Head.
o Peg the two Perimeter Wires down to the ground using the
same peg leaving enough loose wire.
o Trim the end without the connector to make both of equal
length and twist the two wires.
o Twist the two wires. A proper twist of the wires is crucial for a
robust docking of Robomow at the Base Station.
o Strip back 5 mm (1/4 inches) of insulation from the wire end.
o Insert the end of the wire without the connector into the hole
of the connector. Use a small at screwdriver to tighten and
secure this wire into the connector.
Small flat screwdriver

4.6 Placement and connection of the Base Station
o Place the Base Station on the Perimeter Wire as shown
in the gure to the right.
o Align the center of the Base Station on the wire.
o Attach the Perimeter Wire connector to the Base Station
Head.
o After the Base Station has been positioned, insert 2
stakes into the Base Station holes as shown in the gure
to the right. Only after the Base Station position has
been tested during the One-Time Setup process (see
Section 5.2), you will be able to insert the remaining two
stakes.
4.7 Connecting the Power Box
In order to nd a proper location for the Power Box, please refer to Section 3.3.
For the Power Box installation instructions please refer to Section 4.1.2.
Laying and Fastening Extension Cable
Safety – Avoid injury!
The Extension Cable from the Power Box to the Base Station should
be securely fastened to the ground! It should never present a tripping
hazard.
The Extension Cable should cross ONLY over soft surfaces. It should
not cross over hard surfaces (e.g. Sidewalk, driveway) where it cannot
be securely fastened.

4.8 Setup in a Non-Base Zone
A Non-Base Zone is an area of the lawn that is not connected
to a Base Station.
A Perimeter Switch should be installed in these areas.
When necessary, the Perimeter Switch can be easily moved
to other zones.
4.8.1 Determining the Perimeter Switch Location
Consider the following in order to install the Perimeter
Switch at an optimal location:
• The Perimeter Switch is to be installed outside the
perimeter of the Non-Base Zone.
• Select a dry and sheltered location.
• The Perimeter Switch is to be mounted vertically.
• The Perimeter Switch is supplied with an indoor power supply. Choose a location close to a regular power outlet
(230V / 120V).
Note:
a rechargeable battery for the Perimeter Switch is available as an accessory (See Chapter 12 Robomow
Accessories).
4.8.2 Perimeter Switch placing options
• The Perimeter Switch connector is easily connected and disconnected. It
allows for quickly switching from one zone to another.
• You may use the large stake, attached to the back of the Perimeter Switch,
to easily insert it in and out of the ground.
• You may mount the Perimeter Switch on a vertical surface, such as a wall
or deck railing. Use the three marks on the back of the Perimeter Switch
cover.
4.8.3 Laying out the Perimeter Wire
The perimeter wire setup in a Base and Non-Base Zone are the
same, except for the starting point:
• The Perimeter Switch is placed out of the area (at least 1 meter /
3.3 ft. from the lawn).
• Start to lay the Perimeter Wire from the Perimeter Switch location.
• Lay the Perimeter Wire from the Perimeter Switch to the
lawn.
• Start laying the wire in anticlockwise direction.
The Perimeter Switch
MUST be Mounted

• Once completing the Perimeter Wire loop, lay the wire back
towards the Perimeter Switch.
• At the end of the Perimeter Wire loop, you have now
two wires. Lay the two loose wires in the direction of the
Perimeter Switch location and peg them to the ground using
a single peg for both.
4.8.4 At the Perimeter Switch’s location:
• Trim the ends of the loose wire to equal length and twist
them together.
• Strip 5mm (0.2 inches) of insulation from the wire without
the plot connector.
• Insert this wire end into the free hole in the connector and
tighten the screws.
• Plug the perimeter wire connector into the Perimeter Switch.

Robomow Operation
6.1 Automac Operaon
o Once the One-Time Setup is nished, Robomow will be set to perform automatically the following cycle of
mowing operations:
- When the battery is fully charged, Robomow will automatically depart from the Base Station.
- It will mow the lawn.
- It will start searching for the Base Station, when the battery level gets low (Robomow will not mow when
it is searching for the Base Station).
- It will recharge the battery and get ready for the next scheduled operation.
- It will continue mowing until it completes the required number of mowing hours (end of a Mowing Cycle).
Note: Robomow mows the Edge of the entire lawn only on the rst mowing operation of each Mowing Cycle.
In the rest of operations Robomow mows the lawn without the Edge. When Mowing Frequency (p001 in
Section 6.4.2) is set to HIGH, Robomow will mow the Edge twice a week.
o The required mowing time for a single mowing cycle is automatically derived from the Area setting for your
lawn.
o In case the required mowing time within a mowing cycle needs to be adjusted (increased/decreased) to
achieve better mowing results, it can be done using the Mowing Hours menu – see Section 6.4.2.
o Robomow usually performs several consecutive mowing operations until it completes a full mowing cycle
required for the lawn. After completing a mowing cycle Robomow will rest until the next cycle should begin.
The interval between mowing cycles is dened by the Mowing Frequency menu see Section 6.4.2. The
default setting is to perform two complete mowing cycles per week (Medium Mowing Frequency)
o Robomow stays in the Base Station during the default Inactive Time (All day Sunday and nighttime daily
23:00 to 06:00). Inactive Time may be changed – see Section 6.4.1.3.
Note!
Robomow has the power to mow high grass. However when mowing high grass during the rst use or the rst
mowing of the season, initially you will see uneven patches of grass.
Please be patient as it may take a few days to one week to overcome and bring the lawn to an even height and
consistency.

Troubleshooting and User Messages
9.1 General Error Codes
Robomow continuously monitors its operation.
It produces error codes to assist you in running it
smoothly.
A sticker containing the most common error codes
is provided in the box. You can place it on the mower
for your convenience.
(*) E9 (See Troubleshooting in Manual) represents
errors that are not very common, and thus they
are not shown in the above Error Code Table. If
E9 is displayed, press the LEFT arrow to receive
a detailed Error Code. Then refer to section 9.2 for
more details.
Usually, if the mower stops, an error code is
displayed. This display stays on for 5 minutes. If
you arrive later, the display will be blank.
To wake Robomow up and see the last error code displayed prior to stopping, press the OK button on the
mower.
The following table displays all Error Codes and gives possible causes and corrective actions:
