Setup

1. Charging Station Placement

Place the charging station on a flat, level surface in an area with good access to a power outlet. Ensure it is not in direct sunlight or prone to water accumulation.

2. Boundary Wire Installation

Lay the provided boundary wire around the perimeter of your mowing area. Use the fixing nails to secure the wire to the ground. Ensure the wire is taut and follows the recommended distances from obstacles. Connect the ends of the boundary wire to the charging station as per the detailed instructions in the full manual.

3. Initial Charging

Place the robotic lawn mower onto the charging station. Ensure the charging contacts align. Allow the mower to fully charge before its first operation. The battery indicator on the mower or app will show the charging status.

4. App Connection

Download the Yard Force app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your XPower 800 via Bluetooth. This will allow for convenient control and scheduling.

Operating Instructions

Starting the Mower

Press the 'Start' button on the control panel or initiate mowing via the Yard Force app. The mower will begin its programmed mowing cycle.

Adjusting Cutting Height

Rotate the cutting height adjustment dial located on the top of the mower to select your desired grass length (20mm to 50mm).

Using the App

The app allows you to:

• Start and stop mowing cycles.
• Set mowing schedules.
• Activate spiral cutting for dense areas.
• Monitor the mower's status and battery level.
• Control the mower manually (within Bluetooth range).

Rain Sensor

The integrated rain sensor will detect precipitation and automatically instruct the mower to return to its charging station, protecting it from adverse weather conditions. Mowing will resume once the rain stops and the grass is dry.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Mower

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance. Turn off the mower and disconnect it from the charging station before cleaning.

• Clean the underside of the mower, especially the cutting deck and blades, to remove grass clippings and debris. A hose can be used for this purpose, as shown in Figure 5.
• Wipe down the top surface and wheels with a damp cloth.
• Ensure the charging contacts on both the mower and the station are clean.
