5. Setup Guide

5.1 Charging Station Placement

Select a suitable location for the charging station. It should be on a flat surface, preferably in a shaded area, and near an outdoor power outlet. Ensure there is sufficient clear space around the station for the mower to dock easily.

5.2 Boundary Wire Installation

The boundary wire defines the mowing area. The GA-GA M18EX Pro uses a base station and robot dual GPS positioning system, but boundary wires are still used to ensure the robot stays within the designated lawn area and avoids obstacles. If you have existing boundary wires from other brands, they may be compatible.

1. Plan your layout, ensuring minimum distances from obstacles and edges as shown in the diagram.
2. Lay the boundary wire around the perimeter of your lawn and any areas you want the mower to avoid (e.g., flower beds, ponds).
3. Secure the wire to the ground using the provided wire pegs. Ensure the wire is taut and flush with the ground to prevent tripping hazards and damage to the wire.
4. Connect the ends of the boundary wire to the charging station as per the detailed instructions in the APP Manual.

It illustrates minimum distances (e.g., 30cm, 100cm) from edges, obstacles like a pond and flower bed, and the charging station. The boundary wire transmits an electromagnetic signal for mower positioning.

5.3 Initial Charging

Once the charging station and boundary wire are set up, place the robotic mower onto the charging station. Ensure it makes proper contact with the charging terminals. The mower will begin charging automatically. Allow it to fully charge before its first operation.

5.4 App Connection

Download the GA-GA companion app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robotic mower to your Wi-Fi network and pair it with your smartphone. This enables remote control and scheduling.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Starting and Stopping

To start the mower, press the 'Start' button on the control panel or initiate a mowing session via the app. To stop, press the 'Stop' button on the mower or use the app. The mower will return to its charging station when a session is complete or the battery is low.

6.2 Mowing Modes and Efficiency

The GA-GA M18EX Pro utilizes an intelligent algorithm with GPS navigation for efficient path planning, boosting efficiency significantly compared to random mowing patterns. It can mow up to 1956 sq. ft. (180㎡) per hour.
