GARDENA ROBOTIC LAWNMOWERS

1Dream lawn

Isn’t it great to walk barefoot over a lusciously green, thick and healthy

carpet of grass? It’s relaxing. As robotic lawnmower pioneers, we have long-

standing experience of mowing and our robotic lawnmowers have winning

technical properties. Thanks to the SensorCut system, they mow regularly,

sleekly and with “feeling”.

2Totally relaxed

The lawn is often the centrepiece of the garden. As soon as the robotic

lawnmower takes over maintenance of the lawn, garden owners are free from

having to mow and can simply sit back and relax. That’s how easy it is.

3Me time – you time

The garden is just the thing to help one wind down. It is a green island with

space for the really important things in life. Straight away there will be time

for family, friends and fun. Whether the extra time is spent in the garden or

elsewhere is up to the gardener himself. Time is not money, time is for living.

Why buy a robotic lawnmower?

Purchase criteria/trends

Enjoy the garden with complete relaxation, have nothing to worry about,

just sit back and relax — let someone else take care of the tedious and

time-consuming task of mowing the lawn. Thanks to sophisticated technology

based on 20 years of experience, the GARDENA Robotic Lawnmower performs

this task fully automatically, quietly, reliably and precisely. The result is a

perfect lawn — every time.

Functions

GARDENA ROBOTIC LAWNMOWERS

Mowing principle

Please note

Guide and boundary wires

must be connected

SensorCut system

Produces uniform, stripe-free cutting

results

Boundary wire

The boundary wire tells the

robot where it can and needs

to mow

Clearance width

Thanks to its guide wire, the robotic

lawnmower can pass through narrow passages

with a width of at least 1.5 metres without

diﬃculty. Ruts are avoided as the mower adjusts

the distance from the guide wire itself. SILENO

and SILENO+ can even handle corridors from a

width of 60 cm along the guide wire thanks to

their EasyPassage function.

Guide wire

• Gets into remote corners of the garden

• The robotic lawnmower moves directly

along the guide wire and back to the

charging station by itself without detouring

GARDENA ROBOTIC LAWNMOWERS

Installation

Safe and easy to install in 7 simple steps.

1Choose where the charging station should go

2Lay the boundary wires

That’s how the lawnmower will know where to mow and where not to

mow.

3Lay the guide wire

The lawnmower ﬁnds its way to remote areas of the garden and back to

the charging station. The boundary and guide wires can be laid on or

under the surface of the lawn.

4Attach the wires to the charging station

5Operate the robotic lawnmower

Programme mowing times and conﬁgure any further settings according to

individual requirements.

6Start up the robotic lawnmower

Oﬀ it goes!

7Let the mowing begin

and enjoy your free time.

Default settings

The language, date and time are set. The remote start function is enabled in

the default settings. It is used to approach remote areas of the garden.

Security settings

The robotic lawnmower is equipped with a PIN

code and alarm function. The security level can be

selected from low to high in the menu. This stops

the robotic lawnmower being used by others.

Setting the mowing times

Optimal results are achieved when the robotic lawnmower works continuously.

The speciﬁed coverage outputs are the maximum values based on 7 days

active time. The active times of GARDENA Robotic Lawnmowers range from

13 to 24 hours per day, depending on the respective robotic lawnmower. The

R40Li Robotic Lawnmower reaches its maximum coverage output of 400m²

with an active time of 13 hours every day (mowing and charging), 7 days per

week. To adapt the mowing time to lawn surface areas that are smaller than

the maximum coverage output of the robotic lawnmower, the mathematical

mowing value per hour is used. The settings are conﬁgured under the Timer

menu item. The mathematical mowing value includes mowing and charging

times. The following formula can be used to calculate the timer settings.

Menu selection

Menu selection with numerous functions.

The robotic lawnmower mows as programmed for a beautiful and evenly

mown lawn. The simple and intuitive menu shows you what to do.
