• Start by creating a sketch. Mark all obstacles and devise a plan for how you want to protect them.
• Trim your lawn to a maximum length of 60 mm.
• Remove any loose objects from the lawn that could damage the mower or be damaged by the mower.
• Leaves and debris don't necessarily need to be cleared; they will be mulched by the mower.

• An outdoor power outlet that provides a continuous power supply is required. The power cable at the charging station is 10 meters long. Make sure not to lay the power cable in the mowing area.
• The charging station must be placed on a level surface.
• It must be possible to lay the boundary wire at least 1 meter in front of and 1 meter behind the charging station in a straight line.
• Position the charging station in a shaded area.

The wire can be installed either on the surface or up to 5 cm deep in the ground. To allow for adjustments in the initial days, laying the wire on the surface is recommended. After a few weeks, the wire will become overgrown and barely visible. At that point, even scarifying is not an issue. When installing above ground, ensure the wire lays flat on uneven sections of the ground. In such cases, use more pegs to prevent the mower from damaging the wire.

Minimum Distance:
Maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm from obstacles, walls, raised pathways, gravel, bark mulch, sunken flower beds, or similar.

Corners:
Avoid laying the wire in 90° corners. Divide the corners into two 45° angles each.

Slopes:
Permissible slope at the upper part of an incline: 35% with a minimum 30 cm distance.
Permissible slope at the lower part of an incline: 17% with a minimum 40 cm distance. CAUTION: Risk of slipping on wet grass.

Level Edges:
For pathways or terraces that don't have an elevated transition to the lawn, the boundary wire can be placed right at the edge.

Maximum Length:
For all models, a maximum wire length of 250 meters is allowed. Exceeding the permissible total length of the boundary wire may result in the proper function no longer being guaranteed.

The wire end at the rear side, as well as the one at the front side of the charging station, must each be connected to the appropriate terminal. After connecting the boundary wire to the charging station, check the installation and trim any excess lengths to a maximum of 10 cm. Ensure that the wires do not cross. In the user manual of your FREELEXO, the process of connecting the wire to the charging station for your specific model is explained in detail.

Passageways or corridors need to have a minimum width of 140 cm (or 80 cm between the boundary wires) and must not exceed a length of 8 meters. If these requirements are not met, it cannot be guaranteed that this area will be reliably mowed.

The lawn mower robot operates on a random principle. When encountering an obstacle or the boundary wire, the mower changes its direction and continues its work there.
This method ensures that all areas of your garden are mowed, although a specific mowing pattern is not recognizable.
In addition, the mower switches to a spiral mode multiple times during each work session to enhance the efficiency of the random principle.

The robot mows within the daily working interval you've chosen. A recommended duration is 8 hours per day.
An appropriate mowing time, tailored to your garden's size, ensures a reliable and consistent mowing outcome.
The exact coverage in square meters per battery charge varies depending on the type and characteristics of the garden and cannot be generalized.

In the case of rain and an activated rain sensor, the lawn mower robot returns to the charging station to prevent damage to the lawn. Generally, rain doesn't harm the robot.
During thunderstorms, it's advisable to disconnect the charging station from the power supply to prevent the risk of lightning strikes.
During high heat, the lawn mower robot returns to the charging station and pauses until it cools down. Afterward, it will automatically resume its work. During the summer, schedule working times for cooler parts of the day and place the charging station in a shaded area.

Additionally, if the battery temperature exceeds 75°C, the lawn mower robot will return to the charging station. At temperatures above 45°C or below 0°C, the charging process is halted, and the robot waits at the charging station. Adjust the summer working times to early morning hours and avoid operating the mower during the hottest parts of the day. Once the battery or control unit cools down within the permissible temperature range, the lawn mower robot will automatically return to its programmed operation.

All models feature the "Edge Mowing" function, meaning the robot travels along the boundary wire and mows the lawn edge evenly. For models with an app or display, this function can be enabled or disabled.

The robot has a noise level of approximately 60 dB (depending on the specific model). This is roughly equivalent to the noise level of a typical room or conversation. If the lawn mower robot is louder than usual, foreign objects might be stuck to the blades or they could be damaged. Clean or replace the blades to restore the normal noise level.

Since the mower operates on a random principle, it needs to mow the lawn regularly to ensure a clean cut. Additionally, the grass clippings are left as mulch, so it's recommended not to let the grass grow too long. However, since every garden is unique, an exact mowing time cannot be specified. As a general guideline, a daily operation of 8 hours for a 500m² area can be considered sensible.

Despite the numerous sensors and safety features, caution is advised. Small children and pets should never be left unattended in the garden while the lawn mower robot is operating. To protect hedgehogs and other wildlife, it is recommended not to schedule the mower's operation after sunset.

Do not use a garden hose or running water to clean the cutting deck underneath the mower. Turn off the main switch of the lawn mower robot. Afterward, the mower can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using cleaning agents or solvents, and do not rinse the robot under running water. Replace the blades at least every 3 months to maintain the operational efficiency of the lawn mower robot. If the blades are damaged, they should be replaced promptly. Always replace all 3 blades simultaneously to prevent imbalances.

The lawn mower robot returns to the charging station in the following cases:

• The battery charge level drops below 30%.
• The daily working time has ended.
• The rain sensor is activated and triggered.
• The lawn mower robot is overheated.
• You manually send the lawn mower robot back to the charging station.
• The "Edge Mowing" or "Spot-Mowing" mode is started and completed by the mower outside the set working window.

The lawn mower robot is equipped with several safety sensors: lift and tilt sensors for immediate shutdown of the cutting deck, collision sensor for obstacle detection, as well as wire detection and rain sensors.
Additionally, the lawn mower robot has a stop button to instantly halt the robot and its cutting deck.
In the event of a power outage, the lawn mower robot comes to a halt automatically.
Furthermore, the lawn mower robot features theft protection through a personal PIN code and audible warning signals.
Despite the numerous sensors and safety features, caution is advised. Pets and small children should never be left unattended in the garden while the lawn mower robot is operating.

First, check the blades. If they are very dull, the lawn cannot be mowed properly. This leads to a whitish discoloration of the lawn as the grass blades are torn and frayed.

If you have forgotten or misplaced the PIN for your lawn mower robot, you can request a new PIN at any time. However, this process requires the receipt and the serial number of your FREELEXO. Additionally, you will need a USB stick with no data on it. Plug the stick into your robotic lawn mower and follow the instructions outlined in your mower's user manual. The FREELEXO will save a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) onto the USB stick as a text file (.txt) during the process, which you can easily open on a computer. Afterward, contact our customer service and provide the PUK to receive a new PIN.
