Video 2: How to Install the LawnMaster OcuMow® 18 Autocharging Vision Robot Mower Plug-and-Play Charging Station.

Watch the videos above and/or use this quick set-up check list to make sure your mower is correctly set up and ready to go.

Ensure your charging station is positioned correctly. Check that:

1) The charging station is not on a slope. This may affect the way the mower identifies the orange guide strips on the charging station or cause the pivoting front wheel to change direction unexpectedly

2) The changing station is not in a corner. The mower will periodically mow around the sides and front of the charging station to keep it clear of grass. If the charging station is in a corner, it may not be able to complete this action without becoming stuck.

3) The charging station is positioned at 90 degrees to the edge of the lawn. Unlike some other robot mowers, the charging station should not be positioned parallel to the edge of the lawn. The entrance to the charging station should be facing into the lawn.

4)The back of the charging station is against the edge of the lawn. This will reduce any potential for uncut grass to grow around the power connection.

When you’re happy with the position of the charging station, put the mower on the charging station to charge and check that:

1) The mower date and time are correct. In order for the mower to mow according to the schedule, the time and date should be checked to ensure they match the local time.

2) The mower is set to your desired height of cut. Try not to cut the grass too short too quickly. Either mow it a shorter length using a push mower first or select a higher height of cut on the robot mower and reduce it gradually over the course of one to two weeks.

3) The mower is successfully connected to the GPS signal. The mower uses GPS to find the approximate location of the charging station. This may take a few minutes and will happen automatically as the mower sits on the charging station and charges for the first time.

Watch the video below and/or follow the steps below to learn how to operate your LawnMaster OcuMow® 18 Autocharging Vision Robot Lawnmower. Including how to set or change the cutting schedule, and how to switch to Drop & Mow mode for additional lawns or one-off mows.

1) Press the selection dial in the centre of the control panel to access the main menu. Rotate the dial to scroll across the menu and press it to select menu options.

2) Schedule Mode: Use this mode to keep on top of your main lawn and let OcuMow go out according to a set schedule. Set OcuMow 18 to mow as little or as often as you like. For smaller gardens, the mower will need less time to maintain the lawn.

3) Use Drop and Mow (Main Area) if you want to mow the main lawn without changing the schedule. Perfect for one-off mows in between scheduled mowings, or for when you’d rather send the mower out yourself than let it go out automatically. The mower finds its own way back to the charging station.

4) Use Drop and Mow (Other Area) if you want to mow another lawn, for example a front lawn, side lawn or lawn at another property. The mower will wait in standby mode when the battery needs recharging.
