3. Product Overview
The Einhell FREELEXO Kit 500 includes the robotic lawnmower, a GC-CT 18-24 Li P grass trimmer, a 2.5 Ah Power X-Change battery, a charger, and all necessary installation accessories.
4. Setup
4.1. Charging Station Placement
Place the charging station on a flat, level surface in an area with good access to power and away from direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Ensure there is enough clear space around the station for the robotic lawnmower to dock easily.
4.2. Boundary Wire Installation
The boundary wire defines the mowing area for your robotic lawnmower. Lay the wire around the perimeter of your lawn, ensuring it is securely fastened to the ground using the provided fixing hooks. Maintain a minimum distance from obstacles as specified in the detailed installation guide.
4.3. Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the Power X-Change battery. Insert the battery into the robotic lawnmower, then place the lawnmower into the charging station. The charging indicator will show the battery status.
5. Operating
5.1. Starting and Stopping
To start the robotic lawnmower, press the 'START' button on the control panel or initiate mowing via the app. To stop, press the 'STOP' button. The lawnmower will automatically return to the charging station when the battery is low or its schedule is complete.
5.2. Bluetooth App Control
The FREELEXO can be conveniently controlled via a Bluetooth app on your smartphone. Download the Einhell FREELEXO app from your app store. The app allows you to set mowing schedules, define multi-zones, adjust cutting height, and monitor the lawnmower's status.
5.3. Multi-Zone Mowing
For complex or multi-area gardens, the multi-zone mowing feature allows the robotic lawnmower to navigate and mow different sections of your lawn efficiently. Configure these zones within the app based on your boundary wire setup.
5.4. Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height can be adjusted from 20 mm to 60 mm. Use the adjustment dial on the robotic lawnmower to set your desired grass length.
5.5. Safety Sensors
The robotic lawnmower is equipped with collision, tilt, and lift sensors to ensure safe operation. If an obstacle is detected, the mower will stop and change direction. If lifted or tilted, the blades will immediately stop rotating.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Blade Replacement
The robotic lawnmower uses three sharp blades for efficient cutting. Regularly check the blades for wear and damage. Replace all three blades simultaneously for balanced cutting. Always wear protective gloves when handling blades.
6.2. Cleaning
Keep the robotic lawnmower clean for optimal performance. Use a brush to remove grass clippings from the chassis, wheels, and cutting deck. Do not use a high-pressure washer or immerse the device in water.
6.3. Battery Care
Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%). Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
