Installation of the GARDENA robotic lawnmower is generally very easy so that you can do it yourself. However, if you do want to use an installation service, this is available from GARDENA. If you have any questions, please contact us on +49 (0) or visit for more information. The price for installation depends on local conditions such as the size and complexity of the lawn, for example. Is a planning service available for my garden? If you send a true-to-scale drawing of the area (1:100 or 1:200), GARDENA will offer to mark, for free, the ideal position of the charging station and will suggest where to lay the boundary and leader cables. Which system does the GARDENA robotic lawnmower work on? The GARDENA robotic lawnmower operates on the SensorCut system. It cuts in various directions. As a result it makes the grass robust and provides the lawn with a level, uniform and clean cross section without leaving visible tracks. Can the GARDENA robotic lawnmower handle gradients too? The GARDENA robotic lawnmower can handle gradients within the working area of between 25 % and 35 % depending on the model (this means a height difference of 25 cm or 35 cm over 1 metre). Can the GARDENA robotic lawnmower handle uneven lawn surfaces as well? The GARDENA robotic lawnmower can handle uneven surfaces thanks to its large wheels. The four-wheel SILENO and SILENO+ models in particular are ideal for uneven and bumpy lawn surfaces. What does the boundary cable do? The boundary cable defines the robotic lawnmower s working area. What does the leader cable do? The leader cable is a patented solution and is firstly required to lead the GARDENA robotic lawnmower back to the charging station and vice-versa, and secondly it leads the lawnmower away from the charging station, to remote parts of the garden. It helps the lawnmower to quickly find the charging station without creating ruts and means that the lawn is evenly mown, even in areas of the garden some distance from the station. I have a beautiful flower bed and trees that I would like to protect. Is that possible? Of course just lay the boundary cable correctly around beds, trees, bushes and other objects and the GARDENA robotic lawnmower will keep away from these areas and therefore will not damage flowers, trees, bushes, etc. To do this, please follow the instructions in the instruction manual. 16 GARDENA ROBOTIC LAWNMOWERS * Unverbindliche Preisempfehlung inkl. MwSt.

17 Do I have to bury the robotic lawnmower s boundary and leader cables? No, both cables can be laid on the ground and fixed in place using the pegs provided. After a few weeks the grass will grow over the cables. Alternatively, the cable can be laid in the ground down to a depth of 20 cm. Can I use the GARDENA robotic lawnmower in two separate working areas? If the working area consists of two areas that the lawnmower cannot travel between, it is preferable to create an adjoining area. For this application, the robotic lawnmower must be manually carried between the main area and the adjoining area so that the lawn on the adjoining area can be mown. Can I install the charging station in a corner or alcove? It depends on the model. With SILENO and SILENO+ robotic lawnmowers, the position of the charging station can be customised. With other models, the position of the charging station must be selected in such a way that the boundary cable can be laid in a straight line for at least 1.5 m to the left and right of it. Problems could arise if you select a different location or a corner position. Please always observe the installation instructions in the instruction manual.. What happens if the GARDENA robotic lawnmower bumps into or is lifted up by trees or other obstacles? The robotic lawnmower is equipped with highly-sensitive collision, tilt and lifting sensors. It will gently touch the obstacle, reposition and change direction. If it is lifted up, the cutting mechanism will stop straight away. Why aren t the blades fixed firmly in place? A safety function of many of the lawnmowers is that the blades are freely hung so that if they touch obstacles (e.g. fruit, branches), they fold away. Whilst mowing, they accelerate outwards through centrifugal force and cut the grass. However, if the blades come across an object, they immediately slacken and retract. Does the GARDENA robotic lawnmower have an anti-theft device? Yes, the lawnmower has several anti-theft devices that can be activated. Important: The GARDENA robotic lawnmower can not be used without the personal PIN code. This protects the lawnmower from being operated at any place of installation other than its own. If the lawnmower is stopped manually or lifted, you will need to enter the PIN code. Otherwise, the alarm will be triggered. How is it best to clean the lawnmower? It is important that every robotic lawnmower is always kept clean and free from a build-up of grass. We recommend cleaning it with a brush and a damp cloth. However, never clean underneath the lawnmower with running water. GARDENA offers a range of special cleaning products and tools for the robotic lawnmowers. What should I look out for in winter? The robotic lawnmower should be carefully cleaned and fully-charged prior to being put in storage for the winter and should be kept on its wheels in a dry and frost-free place. Towards the end of the mowing season, GARDENA offers a professional winter service, along with special equipment for winter storage.
