In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. In case of
complaints, provide for fresh air and consult a physician. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
7 OPERATION
7.1 Lawn preparation
Before operating the robotic lawnmower, ensure that the mowing area is free of pets, kids or
objects. Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, wire, cables from the lawn. Make sure that the
lawn height is 50 mm or less. If the height is more than that, cut the lawn to a height of 50
using a standard lawnmower. Cut the area where you intend to lay the perimeter wire to the
lowest setting you have with your conventional mower.
7.2 Charging station placement and connection
Find the best place for your charging station (if possible out of the sun), where your robotic
lawnmower will return to get charged.
1. Take the robotic lawnmower from the charging station and place the charging
station on level ground outside the mowing area.
Make sure
that you have a straight 1.5 m track in front of the charging station.
that the base stand is firmly on the ground and does not bend.
not to put the charging station in confined spaces.
that you have 1.0 m of free space perpendicular to the rear the charging
station.
that the next power socket is within 6 meters.
that the charging station is not placed in direct sunlight, if possible.
It is recommended to place the charging as close to the power supply as possible. The total
length of the power cable is 6 m.
Note: Your robotic lawnmower can only automatically return to the charging
station counter-clockwise.
Note: When your robotic lawnmower receives direct sunlight for a
prolonged period of time the battery can get too hot and will not function
correctly.
2. Fix the charging station with the four supplied pegs.
3. Connect the charging socket to the charging adaptor.
4. Connect the charging adaptor to the power supply (Fig 1).
Make sure that the power supply is
close to the charging station
protected from rain, e.g. under a roof
protected from direct sunlight, if possible
Once connected you should now see a red light (power) on the charging
station.
The green light (work) on the charging station indicates wiring conditions of the
charging station. When the green light flashes, the wire is not set correctly and
the mower cannot work.
Note: When mower is charging the green light on charging station will also
flash. If mower is not in charging station and green light on charging station
POWXG6305 EN
Copyright © 2020 VARO P a g e | 8 www.varo.com
flashes this will indicate that wire is not set correctly, and then mower will not
work.
7.3 Charging the lawnmower
Your robotic lawnmower´s battery may be charged to a certain degree on delivery, but it´s
recommended to fully charge the battery of the lawnmower before use. To charge your robotic
lawnmower follow these steps:
1. Switch the robotic lawnmower on. The On/Off switch (6) is located at the bottom
side of the robotic lawnmower (FIG A and Fig 2).
Note: Your robotic lawnmower will not charge when it is not turned on.
Note: The robotic lawnmower will enter a self-checking state (normally within
5 seconds) after entering the password or when the power is interrupted
during mowing or charging (indicated by a flashing status light). If the mower
is in a self-check state, you will not hear a sound when pressing a button and
the buttons won´t work.
2. Slide the robotic lawnmower into the charging station to charge.
3. Check the indicator on the charging station. The red power light turns up and the
robotic lawnmower charges (green light flashes). If the power light does not light up,
you should check the mains plug of the power supply is plugged in properly and that
the mower is in the station correctly.
4. When mower is charging the status light on the robot mower control panel will flash
quickly (4 times a second), when mower is fully charged the status light will flash
slowly (every 2 seconds).
5. It takes about 90 minutes to get the battery fully loaded.
7.4 Setting up the perimeter wire (Fig 3, Fig 4 and Fig 5)
The wire defines the borders of the mowing area. Everything in the inner area belongs to the
mowing area, everything in the outer area doesn´t belong to the mowing area. The wire also
serves to mark obstacles and exclude them from the mowing area.
1. Feed the end of the perimeter wire through the groove on the front at the bottom
side of the charging station, until it appears on the rear side (Fig 3).
2. Carefully strip off 10-15 mm of the insulation of the wire.
Note: You should keep a length of 15-20 cm at start and the end of the wire for
operating and handling the wire.
3. Connect the wire to the right hand (black) B terminal of the charging station (Fig 4).
4. Start installing the perimeter wire from the charging station in a clockwise direction
(Fig 5). Pull the wire from the coil, tauten and fix it with one peg. Use a mallet to
insert them in the lawn. Ensure the wire is straight and in line with the charging
station groove for 1.5 m.
5. Recommended distance between pegs is 50 to 75 cm (max).
6. Continue to set the wire around the perimeter of the mowing area. For a more
accurate perimeter, we advise that you leave less than 75 cm between pegs when
wiring objects (like flower beds, bushes, trees and other items).
Loose wire can be cut during mowing. Make sure the wire is flat to the ground.
Use additional pegs where the wire is slack. The wire is taut before placing the
POWXG6305 EN
Copyright © 2020 VARO P a g e | 9 www.varo.com
next peg (if you can place a couple of fingers under the wire this is not taut
enough). Increase the number of pegs at a corner.
Note: If the mowing area borders against a flat path or a surface that is level
with the lawn, your robotic lawnmower will be able to run over it. In such
cases the perimeter wire should be positioned right up to the edge of the lawn
(approx. 10 cm). This is not applicable for gravel, as your robotic lawnmower
could hit a stone or get stuck in the gravel.
Note: When installing the wire around the perimeter of pond of water, the
distance between the wire and the edge of the pond must be more than 75 cm,
because of safety reasons. In case there is a power cut your robotic
lawnmower will stop after not noticing the wire for 50 cm.
Note: When marking objects remember there must be at least 75 cm distance
between two objects. Leaving less distance than this will cause some
interference.
Note: Do not install the wire on the slope (max 17° or 30%), or your mower
could be slip out the boundary easily.
Note: The robotic lawnmower cannot go through distance less than 60cm.
7. Encircling obstacles (Fig 5). Mark out permanent objects you do not want the mower
to run over, e.g. roots, ponds, flower beds or rocks. This will prevent your robotic
lawnmower colliding with objects or going straight into them.
To mark a obstacle:
a. Run the wire from the lawn perimeter to the object.
b. Continue round the objects in a clockwise direction. When going around
the object use more pegs. So they are closer than 75 cm.
c. Return the wire back to the perimeter. Ensure the distance from the wire
around the object and lawn perimeter wire is at least 75 cm.
Please ensure that the two parallel wires leading to and from the marked object are
as close as possible by placing the wire under the same side of the peg. This will
make the wire undetectable to your robotic lawnmower. Please ensure that the
wires do not cross over each other at any point..
Note: Remember to leave 30 cm around the object to the wire! If objects are
less than 75 cm from the lawn edge, surround the object when installing the
wire, leaving the object outside of the lawn cutting area.
8. When the perimeter wire has been laid around the entire cutting area, cut the wire
and strip 10-15 mm of insulation off.
9. Connect the wire to the left hand (red) terminal (Fig 4).
Note: Observe the distances in Fig 6 if a second mower is used next or on the
property.
