2. Setup

2.1 Unboxing and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present and undamaged. Retain original packaging for potential future transport or service.

2.2 Charging Station Placement

Select a suitable location for the charging station. It should be on a flat, level surface with access to a power outlet and clear line of sight to the sky for optimal RTK signal reception. Ensure adequate space around the station for the mower to dock.

2.3 RTK Reference Station Setup

The RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) reference station is crucial for precise positioning. Install the RTK station in an elevated position with an unobstructed view of the sky, away from large metal objects or buildings that could interfere with satellite signals. Connect it to power as per the quick start guide.

2.4 App Installation and Connection

Download the Mammotion app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to create an account and connect your LUBA mini AWD 800 via 4G, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. The app facilitates all control and mapping functions.

2.5 Lawn Mapping

Utilize the Mammotion app to map your lawn. The UltraSense AI Vision+RTK system enables auto-mapping without manual operation. Drive the mower around the perimeter of your desired mowing areas and define no-go zones (e.g., flower beds, pools). The system can manage up to 20 mowing zones.

3. Operating the Mower

3.1 Mowing Modes and Patterns

The Mammotion app allows selection of various mowing patterns, including Parallel, Checkboard, and Diamond Grid. These patterns can be adjusted to create desired lawn aesthetics. The mower uses 3D lawn printing technology to optimize its route, cutting height, and angle.

3.2 Cutting Height Adjustment

The cutting height can be adjusted via the app, ranging from 0.8 inches to 2.6 inches. Ensure the cutting height is appropriate for your grass type and desired lawn appearance.

3.3 Edge Cutting

The LUBA mini AWD 800 features zero-distance edge cutting, allowing it to mow close to walls and other boundaries, typically within 2.0 inches. This minimizes the need for manual trimming.

3.4 Obstacle Avoidance

Equipped with UltraSense AI Vision, the mower intelligently detects and avoids over 200 types of objects, including pets and garden furniture. It identifies the transition between grass and non-grass surfaces to prevent entering off-limits zones.

3.5 All-Wheel-Drive Capability

The AWD system and adaptive suspension allow the LUBA mini to traverse steep slopes (up to 80% or 38.6 degrees), rough terrain, and thick grass. Its zero-turn design omni-wheels enhance maneuverability.

3.6 Auto-Recharge

When the battery level is low, the LUBA mini AWD 800 autonomously returns to its charging station. After recharging, it seamlessly resumes mowing from where it left off, ensuring continuous lawn care.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Blade Replacement

Regularly inspect the cutting blades for wear and damage. Replace blades as needed to ensure optimal cutting performance. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual for safe blade replacement procedures.

4.2 Cleaning

Keep the mower clean, especially the cutting deck, wheels, and sensors. Remove grass clippings and debris to prevent buildup and ensure proper function. Use a soft brush or cloth; avoid high-pressure water jets directly on electronic components.

4.3 Software Updates

Ensure your Mammotion app and LUBA mini firmware are always up to date. Updates often include performance improvements, new features, and bug fixes. The app will notify you of available updates.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LUBA mini AWD 800, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Mower not starting: Check battery level, ensure it's properly docked, and verify power to the charging station.
• Poor cutting quality: Inspect blades for sharpness and damage; replace if necessary. Adjust cutting height.
• Navigation errors: Ensure RTK reference station has a clear view of the sky. Check for obstructions or interference. Recalibrate mapping if needed via the app.
• Mower getting stuck: Verify no-go zones are correctly defined. Check for obstacles not detected by sensors. The AWD system is designed for challenging terrain, but extreme conditions may still pose issues.
• Connectivity issues: Ensure strong 4G, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi signal. Restart the mower and the app.

For more detailed troubleshooting, refer to the comprehensive guide within the Mammotion app or contact customer support.
