How Landroid Works

Landroid is an autonomous machine designed for efficient and hassle-free lawn mowing.

Getting Started

Installing your Worx Landroid is designed to be straightforward. This section guides you through planning and installation.

Installing Landroid Yourself? Easier Than You May Think

Follow these instructions carefully. The process involves installing the charging station and laying the boundary wire around your lawn. Additional resources include the Get Started guide and video tutorials.

Note: This information supplements, but does not replace, the instruction and safety manuals.

Every Minute Spent in Planning Saves You 10 Minutes in Execution

Proper planning helps avoid mistakes and rework.

On the surface or buried?

The boundary wire can be laid on the lawn surface, where it will become nearly invisible and engulfed by soil within weeks. If burying the wire, peg it down first and test the installation to make any necessary layout changes before burying it a few centimeters below ground level.

Plan for the charging station

Locate a suitable position for the charging station, considering:

The charging station can be placed on lawn or a hard surface at the same height. Landroid requires at least 80cm of straight path for entry and at least 30cm for exit before a left turn (Fig. 1). No straight path is needed before a right turn (Fig. 2).

Diagram Description: Figure 1 shows the charging station placement with 80cm entry clearance and 30cm exit clearance for a left turn. Figure 2 shows the charging station placement with 80cm entry clearance and no specific exit clearance needed for a right turn.

Charging station checklist:
Plan for the boundary wire

The wire must be placed at a specific distance from the lawn edge, depending on what borders it:

If bordering a neighbor's robotic mower, keep wires 1m apart to avoid interference.

Diagram Description: Illustrates distances for boundary wire placement: 26cm for edges with steps or gravel, 10cm for edges bordering paths at the same height.

Patrol Your Lawn

Visually inspect your lawn to prepare for installation.

Identify forbidden areas

Locate areas like flower beds, ponds, or tree roots that Landroid should avoid. Surround these areas with boundary wire to create a loop (Fig. 1). Alternatively, use the 'Off-Limits' accessory for a digital fence that doesn't require physical wire connection (Fig. 2).

Diagram Description: Figure 1 shows a forbidden area surrounded by boundary wire, creating a loop. Figure 2 shows a forbidden area marked by a digital fence (Off-Limits accessory).

Identify obstacles

Landroid's bump sensor handles solid obstacles. For lawns with many close obstacles, consider the 'ACS' (Advanced Control System) option, which uses ultrasonic sensors to steer around them.

Now Roll Your Sleeves Up. When It's Done It's Done!

Follow these steps to install Landroid:

Fix the charging station in the selected location

Diagram Description: Figure 1 shows screwing the charging base to the ground.

Connect one end of the boundary wire to the charging station

Diagram Description: Figure 2 shows stripping the wire end. Figure 3 shows inserting the wire into the red clamp on the charging base and routing it through the guide.

Lay the boundary wire around your lawn

Diagram Description: Figure 4 shows placing the boundary wire 26cm from an edge with a step. Figure 5 shows placing the boundary wire 10cm from an edge without a step.

Secure the wire to the ground using pegs

Diagram Description: Figure 6 shows pegs placed at intervals along the boundary wire. Figure 7 shows the wire lying flat against the ground.

Lay perimeter islands, if needed

Diagram Description: Figure 8 illustrates how to create a perimeter island for a forbidden area, showing the wire departing, surrounding, and returning.

Bertelsen method: how to make perfect 90° angles with corners facing the lawn

Use the Bertelsen ruler for perfect 90° turns on corners facing the lawn, preventing the mower from hitting obstacles (Fig. 9).

Diagram Description: Figure 9 shows the use of the Bertelsen ruler to create a sharp 90-degree turn for the boundary wire.

Close the loop

Diagram Description: Figure 10 shows routing the boundary wire into the charging base and connecting it to the black clamp.

Final steps

Diagram Description: Figure 11 shows connecting the charging base to the power outlet. Figure 12 shows inserting the battery into Landroid. Figure 13 shows Landroid docked on the charging base.

Let Landroid charge. While charging, familiarize yourself with the app and Wi-Fi connection instructions.

Joining up the boundary wire

Use the supplied waterproof connectors to join boundary wires if the perimeter is long (max 350m) or if the wire is cut and needs repair. Insert wire ends into the connector holes and press firmly with pliers. Avoid using tape or screw terminals, as moisture can cause oxidation.
