How to install your Landroid

The installation of the Landroid

M is easy. Depending on the size of your garden, the entire process only

takes a short amount of time. If your like us, you hate having to waste your precious free time mowing your

lawn. The Landroid

M will prove to be your best investment eliminating the need to mow your lawn ever

again.

You can watch the installation demo video at www.worxlandroid.com.

The Landroid

M loves to mow

It is designed to mow often, maintaining a healthier and better looking lawn than ever before. Depending on the

size of your lawn, the Landroid

M may be programmed to operate at any time or frequency with no restrictions. It

is here to work for you.

Operating costs

Worried about your electricity bill? Let’s do the math: if you let your Landroid

M work 12 hours a day, 3 days a

week, 25 weeks a year, your Landroid

M will cost you approximately £3 in electricity*.Yes, £3 a year. A fraction of

what you would spend in petrol for your noisy, polluting petrol mower.

Landroid's new home - your garden

Let's start by having a closer look at Landroid's new home—your lawn—highlighting the areas where it can

safely go and areas it’s best for Landroid®M to avoid.

When hitting any obstacle that’s rigid, stable and taller than

15cm—such as a wall or a fence—your Landroid®M will simply

stop and re-direct away from the obstacle.

Obstacles that can be hit

Stones that are heavy enough not to be moved by your

Landroid®M can be safely hit. However, if any stone has an

inclined surface that your Landroid®M can climb, you should

either remove it or exclude from the working area.

Stones

If your driveway is level with your lawn, without any protruding

surface, the Landroid®M can freely run over it. If you'd like the

Landroid®M to avoid it, then only a 10cm* space between the

Boundary Wire and the driveway is needed.

If it’s covered with gravel, you should not allow the Landroid®M

to travel over it, using the distance gauge in this case, keeping a

35cm* space between the boundary wire and the driveway.

*This is the recommended distance, because the Landroid®M

cannot calculate the distance itself. Use the provided distance

gauge to ensure proper installation.

Driveways

If there are roots emerging from the ground, this area should be

avoided in order not to damage the roots.

Trees

In the case of large bumps or dips, please consider if the blades

could touch the ground; if this is the case, either make the

inclines smoother or exclude those areas from your Landroid’s

operation.

Depressions and bumps

You certainly don’t want your Landroid®M to mow your ﬂowers,

or fall into the water. These areas should be avoided.

Flowerbeds, ponds, pools...

Your Landroid®M has the ability to safely climb slopes up to 35%

(20°), so just avoid anything steeper than this.

Slopes

Marking out Landroid®M’s

territory within your garden

Your Landroid

M needs to know where to mow. This is why you have to mark its working area with a boundary wire

that will form an invisible fence.This wire will also guide your Landroid

M to its charging base.

If your neighbor also uses a Landroid

M, then you must keep a space of at least 3.5 metres between your Boundary

Wire and your neighbors.

Please be aware that your Landroid

M will not be able to

receive a signal from the Boundary Wire beyond the distance

of 18m.

The charging base should be placed along a straight line-allow

2 meters at both the front and the back. If possible, place the

charging base in the shade-batteries are better recharged in a cool

place.

First of all, locate the best spot for the charging base, taking

into account where your nearest outdoor electricity socket is.

The charging base has a 15m power cord.

NOTE: Make sure the transformer and the electrical socket

are kept in a dry area at all times.

An island is an area that sits inside your lawn where you don't

want Landroid®M to go.The boundary wire starts from the

mowing boundary, goes straight to the island, around it and

back to the boundary as shown by the arrows on the picture.

Make sure it is on a ﬂat area, clear of any obstacles.

A forbidden area that's close to the mowing boundary should

be a part of the boundary itself, as shown in the picture.

If your lawn has two or more separate areas connected to each

other by means of a corridor, this should be at least 2 meters wide.

In the case of two islands that are close to each other, it would be

convenient to lay out the wire as illustrated above.

The Landroid®M can travel freely over the boundary wire in

between the islands and the mowing boundary.

If your lawns are not connected by a corridor that's wide enough,

then you'll have to pick your Landroid®M up and move it to the other

lawn. Landroid®M will mow this lawn no problem, but you'll have to

bring it back to the charging base when the battery runs out.

EN EN

Place the Charging Base in its designated spot, without ﬁxing it

permanently. The “IN” arrow should be oriented so that it indicates

the inside of your lawn.

Pegging your boundary wire

Installation

We recommend that you ﬁrst mow the lawn where the wire is to be laid using a normal lawn mower or a

grass trimmer.This ensures that the wire is laid as close to the ground as possible so the Landroid

M does not

accidentally cut the wire. The boundary wire is powered with a very low voltage so that it is totally safe to human

beings and pets.

Feed the boundary wire through the tunnel underneath the

charging base.

Leaving about 1 meter in length of extra wire, start from the

rear of your charging base and begin pegging the wire along

the boundary. When you’ve ﬁnished laying the wire along the

boundary back to the charging base, leave another meter of

extra wire and then cut it.

When making an island with the boundary wire, follow the path as

shown.The wire should run from the perimeter to outline the deﬁned

island and then return back to the perimeter.The boundary wire in

between the island and perimeter should be laid close together

and held in place by the same wire peg. During operation, the

Landroid®M will be able to freely pass over this part of the wire.

Ensure the Boundary Wire is perfectly straight in each corner.

When laying the boundary wire,

use the distance gauge to keep a

35cm* space between the wire

and the boundary. However, in

the case of an obstacle that is

level with ground and safe for the

Landroid®M to run over, such as a

driveway or sidewalk, then only a

10cm* space is needed.

Each wire peg should be placed

around 80cm apart

Knock the wire pegs tight to

the ground with the help of the

hammer, although avoid putting

too much pressure on the wire.

Keep the boundary wire straight

and tight between the pegs, there

should not be any slack wire.

*This is the recommended

distance. Use the provided

distance gauge to ensure proper

installation.

EN EN

Connect the base to the boundary wire

Cut the end of the wire to a length that’s appropriate convenient

for reaching the clamps.

Strip the two ends of the wire.

When connecting to the charging base there will be an IN-wire

and an OUT-wire, as shown.

Connect the IN-wire to the red clamp of the charging base and

the OUT-wire to the black clamp.

Then close the cover.

You can now permanently ﬁx the charging base on the ground

by pressing the supplied Base Retention Pegs with the supplied

Hex key.

NOTE: Make sure the IN-wire is running straight

underneath the center of the charging base.

Turn on and test the installation

Connect the power cord to the adaptor and then to the AC

electrical socket, the LED on the charging base will turn on. If

the LED is off, please refer to the Trouble shooting guide.When

connecting, align the notch on the power cord connector (a)

with the groove on the adaptor connector (b).

Make sure to only screw or unscrew the highlighted piece of

the connector.

If the green light does not come on, then check the power

connections.

In case the power cord is within the working area, you may bury

it as needed.

Place your Landroid®M inside the

working area, a few meters from

the back of the charging base.

This is the exciting part where you can turn your Landroid

M on for the ﬁrst time.

Press and hold down the

Power ON/OFF key until

the Landroid®M turns on.

Open the control panel cover,

press the key and close

the control panel cover: your

Landroid®M will now

ﬁnd its way to the charging base.

Watch the Landroid®M as

it returns to the charging

base and modify the

positioning of the boundary

wire if necessary. When the

Landroid®M successfully

returns to the charging base,

this means the installation has

been successfully completed!

Now your Landroid®M will

start to fully charge.

• If your Landroid®M

is outside its territory,

it will not move and

the display will indicate

”out of cutting area”

error. Just move it inside

its territory and repeat

step 2.

• If your

Landroid®M

inside its territory but

the display says “out of

cutting area” and the

LED is on, it means you

clamped the boundary

wire ends incorrectly.

Just reverse them.

• Your Landroid®M should

always remain switched

on. If you ever need to

turn it off, then make sure

you place it within its

boundary area before you

switching it back on again.

• Should your

Landroid®M stop

operating unexpectedly,

just press its ON/OFF

key to ON, correct the

problems, press Start

button.

NOTE: If your Landroid®M is in the charging base during a time you have programmed it to mow, press STOP then simply

press the Start button to proceed with mowing.

NOTE: Please refer to the Programming andTroubleshooting Guide for more information.

Warning

Ready to go?

Programming

The Landroid

Mis designed for maintaining your grass at a perfect length during the season, but is not designed for deforesting a jungle.

Before starting it for the ﬁrst time,

1. You should mow your lawn to the desired height.

2. Make sure the operating area is clear from objects such as toys and branches...

3. Adjust the cutting height to its maximum level for the ﬁrst mow and then adjust to your preferred lawn grass height.

Next Spring, let your Landroid®M start mowing early, when the grass is still short, so that you can avoid a preliminary grass cut.

Having ﬁnished the installation, it is now time to program the Landroid®M when you want it to go to work by using the keypad

display shown below. Please refer to the Programming andTroubleshooting Guide included in the packaging.

Keep it sharp

Always wear gloves when adjusting the blades.

The Landroid®M does not cut grass like other mowers. Its Blades are razor sharp on all 4 edges and

spin in both directions for maximum cutting capacity. Each blade of your Landroid®M has 4 cutting

edges. Depending on the frequency the Landroid®M mows your lawn, the cutting blades will need

to be ﬂipped/rotated periodically for a new cutting edge. If your Landroid®M is programmed to mow

the lawn every day then the cutting blades will need to be rotated monthly for the best mowing

results. Each cutting blade will last up to 4 months when it is programmed to mow every day. When

the cutting blades are dull and worn out, they should be replaced with the spare blades provided with

your Landroid®M. Spare blades are also available at your nearest WORX retailer.

Maintenance

Your Landroid®M is engineered and built to stay outdoors regardless of adverse conditions. Just

periodically clean its deck from grass clipping build ups and your Landroid®M will mow for you

trouble-free, year after year, season after season.

Write your PIN code here:

Winter storage

Even though it is tough, we would recommend that you store your Landroid®M in your shed or garage

during the Winter. Before storing it, give your Landroid®M a full recharge that will preserve its battery

from damage.You can then disconnect the plug of the charging base. A good tip to prolong the life of

the battery is to periodically re-charge it during the Winter.We'd also suggest that you cover the base

with a nylon sheet in Winter time.

Safety

Your Landroid®M is safe to human beings and pets. First of all, there’s a large clearance between the

outer border of the machine and the blades. Moreover, the tilt sensors will instantly stop the blades if

the unit is lifted from the ground.

Security

Your Landroid®M is protected by a PIN code.This PIN code prevents unauthorised people from being

able to use it. Once it’s taken outside its territory, it will not be possible to re-start it by anyone who

does not know the PIN code.This also means that you will not be able to start your Landroid®M if

you forget your PIN code! We strongly recommend that you write your PIN code here for future

reference. Even better, register your Landroid®M online at www.worxlandroid.com and record your

PIN code there.You'll be able to access your PIN code online any time.
