Safety Instructions

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to the device:

• Read all instructions carefully before use.
• Keep children and pets away from the working area.
• Do not operate the mower in wet conditions or during rain. The integrated rain sensor will prevent operation in such conditions.
• Ensure the boundary wire is correctly installed to define the mowing area.
• Regularly inspect the blades for wear and damage. Replace as necessary.
• Use the manual stop function (red button) immediately in case of emergency.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories.

Setup and Installation

1. Unpacking and Components

Carefully unpack all components and check for completeness. The package should include:

• Scheppach RoboCut L500 Robotic Lawnmower
• Charging Station with power supply
• Boundary Wire (approx. 100m)
• Fixing Pegs (approx. 130x)
• Spare Blades (6x)
• User Manual

2. Charging Station Placement

Select a suitable location for the charging station. It should be on a flat surface, close to a power outlet, and in an area that allows the robot easy access to and from the station. Ensure there is enough clear space around the station.

3. Boundary Wire Installation

The boundary wire defines the mowing area. Lay the wire around the perimeter of your lawn, securing it with the provided pegs. Ensure the wire is taut and buried or securely fastened to the ground to prevent tripping hazards and damage to the wire. Leave sufficient distance from obstacles like walls, fences, and ponds. The RoboCut L500 is designed for areas up to 400 m² and can handle gradients up to 35%.

4. Initial Charging

Place the robotic lawnmower into the charging station. Ensure the charging contacts align. The indicator light on the charging station will confirm proper connection. Allow the mower to fully charge before its first operation.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On and Off

To power on, press the main power button. To power off, press and hold the main power button or use the red STOP button for immediate halt.

3. Smart App Control (WLAN & Bluetooth)

The RoboCut L500 can be controlled via a dedicated smartphone app using WLAN or Bluetooth connectivity. The app allows you to:

• Monitor device status
• Edit mowing plans and schedules
• Configure mowing zones
• Activate edge cutting function
• Start/stop mowing manually

It also reiterates the included accessories: 3 in-built blades, 100m installation wire, and 130 pegs.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regularly clean the mower's chassis, wheels, and cutting deck. Use a soft brush or cloth. Do not use high-pressure cleaners or excessive water directly on the electronic components.

2. Blade Replacement

The RoboCut L500 uses 3 in-built blades. For optimal cutting performance, inspect the blades regularly and replace them when they become dull or damaged. Always wear protective gloves when handling blades. Use only original Scheppach replacement blades.

3. Winter Storage

Before winter, thoroughly clean the mower and charging station. Store the device in a dry, frost-free location. Ensure the battery is fully charged before storage and recharge it periodically during long storage periods to maintain battery health.
