1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY Transport The original packaging should be used when transporting R40Li over long distances. To safely move from or within the working area: 1. Press the STOP button to stop the mower. If security is set to the medium or high level (see 6.5 Security), the PIN code has to be entered. The PIN code contains four digits and is selected when you start the mower for the first time. See 3.8 First start-up and calibration. 2. Set the main switch to 0

2. PRESENTATION 2. Presentation This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation. An installation of GARDENA R40Li includes four main components: • R40Li, a robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn by essentially operating in a random pattern. The mower is powered by a maintenance-free battery. The mower is powered by a maintenance-free battery. • Charging station, where your R40Li returns when the charge level in the battery becomes too

2. PRESENTATION 2.2 Function Capacity 2 R40Li is recommended for lawns up to 400 m in size. How big an area R40Li can keep cut depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type, growth and moisture of the grass. The shape of the garden is also significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns, R40Li can mow more per hour than if the garden consists of several small lawns separated by trees, flower beds and passages. A fully charged R40Li mows for 30 to 70 min

2. PRESENTATION Working method The R40Li automatically mows the lawn. It continuously combines mowing and charging. The mower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low. R40Li does not mow when it is searching for the charging station. When R40Li searches for the charging station, it first searches irregularly for the guide wire. Then it follows the guide wire to the charging station, turns around just in front of the station and backs i

2. PRESENTATION The control panel on the top of R40Li is where you manage all the mower settings. Open the control 12 3 4 5 panel cover by pressing down the STOP button. When the main switch is turned to 1 for the first time, a start-up sequence begins which includes the selection of the language, time format, date format Start and four-digit PIN code as well as setting of the time and date.

3. INSTALLATION 3. Installation This chapter describes how you install the GARDENA R40Li. Before starting the installation read the previous chapter 2. Presentation. Read also through this entire chapter before beginning the installation. How the installation is made also affects how well R40Li will work. It is therefore important to plan the installation carefully. Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the working area, including all obstacles. This makes it easi

3. INSTALLATION • Transformer (20) • Low voltage cable (17) • Staples (21) • Connector for the loop wire (18) • Screws for the charging station (19) • Measurement gauge (22) • Solderless coupler for the loop wire (23) During installation you will also need: • Hammer/plastic mallet to simplify putting the staples in the ground • Combination pliers for cutting the boundary wire and pressing the contact units together. • Edge cutter/straight spade if the boundary wire must be buried. 3

3. INSTALLATION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free area in front of it (at least 3 metres). It should also be centrally placed in the working area so that R40Li finds it easier to reach all areas in the working area. Do not put the charging station in confined spaces in the working area. There must be a straight boundary wire, at least 1.5 metres long, to the right and left of the charging station. The wire must be laid straight out from the rear end of

3. INSTALLATION If the installation is done in a working area with a steep slope (such as around a house on a hill), the charging station should be placed in the area at the bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the lawn mower to follow the guide wire to the charging station. The charging station should not be placed on an island as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal way. If the charging station has to be installed on an island, the guide wire also

3. INSTALLATION Installation and connecting the charging station 1. Position the charging station in a suitable spot. 2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station. 3. Connect the transformer’s power cable to a 230V wall socket. If the transformer is connected to wall socket outdoors, it must be approved for outdoor use. 4. Attach the charging station to the ground using the supplied screws. Ensure the screws are screwed all the way down in the countersink. IMPOR

3. INSTALLATION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: 1. Securing the wire to the ground with staples. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary wire during the first few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will have grown over the wire making it no longer visible. Use a hammer/plastic mallet and the staples supplied when carrying out the installatio
