2. PRESENTATION
2.2 Function of Automower ®
Capacity
Automower ® 260 ACX recommended for lawns up to
1.4 acre (5500 m 2 ) +/-20%.
How large an area is mown depends primarily on the
condition of the blades and the type of grass, growth
rate and humidity. The shape of the garden is also
significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns,
Automower
® can mow more per hour than if the garden
consists of several small lawns separated by trees,
flower beds and passages.
How long Automower ® mows and recharges can vary
depending on, among others, the ambient
temperature. Up to around 25 ˚C, a fully charged
Automower
® 260 ACX will mow for approx. 60 minutes,
depending on the age of the battery and how thick the
grass is. Then the mower will charge for approx. 40
minutes. Above 77 °F (25 °C) both the mowing and
charging times gradually drop.
Mowing technique
The mowing system used by Automower ® is based on
an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike
normal lawn mowers, Automower
® cuts the grass
instead of striking it off.
We recommend you allow Automower ® to mainly mow
in dry weather to obtain the best possible result.
Automower
® can even mow in the rain, however, wet
grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of
slipping on steep slopes is greater.
When there is a risk of a thunder storm, the 120V
(230V) plug should be removed from the mains socket
and the boundary wire disconnected from the charging
station.
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the
best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp
for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn
free from branches, small stones and other objects.
