1.1 Memo
Serial number:
PIN code:
Product registration key:
The Product registration key is a valuable document and must be stored in a safe place. This key is necessary for
example to register the produkt on McCULLOCH's website or unlock the robotic lawnmower in the event of a lost
PIN code. The product registration key is provided in a separate document in the product packaging.
If the robotic lawnmower is stolen, it is important to notify McCULLOCH of this. Contact your local McCULLOCH
representative and provide the robotic lawnmower's serial number so that it can be registered as stolen in an interna-
tional database. This is an important step in the robotic lawnmower's theft protection which reduces interest in the
buying and selling of stolen robotic lawnmowers.
The product's serial number consists of 9 digits and is shown on the product rating plate and packaging.

1.2 Product description
Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally high
quality product. To get the best results from your
McCULLOCH robotic lawnmower requires knowledge of
how it works. This Operator’s Manual contains important
information about the robotic lawnmower, how it must be
installed and how to use it. As a complement to this
Operator’s Manual, there are information movies with
instructions available on McCULLOCH’s website,
www.mcculloch.com.
Keep in mind that the operator is responsible for
accidents or hazards occuring to other people or their
property.
McCULLOCH has a policy of continuous product
development and reserves the right to modify the
design, appearance and function of products without
prior notice.
1.2.1 Capacity
The robotic lawnmower is recommended for lawn sizes
up to maximum capacity listed in the
Technical data on
page 48
.
How big an area the robotic lawnmower can keep cut
depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the
type, growth and moisture of the grass. The shape of the
garden is also significant. If the garden mainly consists
of open lawn areas, the robotic lawnmower can mow
more per hour than if the garden consists of several
small lawns separated by trees, flower beds and
passages.
A fully charged robotic lawnmower mows for 60 to 80
minutes depending on the status of the battery and
lawn. Then the robotic lawnmower will charge for 50 to
60 minutes. The charging time can vary depending on
factors like the ambient temperature.
1.2.2 Mowing technique
The robotic lawnmower's system is based on an efficient
and energy saving principle. Unlike many standard
lawnmowers, the robotic lawnmower cuts the grass
instead of knocking it off. This frequent cutting technique
improves the grass quality. No collection of grass is
required, and small pieces of cut grass will reduce the
need of fertilizers. Furthermore, it is emission free,
convenient and your lawn will always look well
maintained.
It is recommended to let the robotic lawnmower to
mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible
result. The robotic lawnmower can also mow in the rain,
however wet grass easily sticks on the robotic
lawnmower and there is a greater risk of slipping on
steep slopes.
358 - 002 - Introduction - 3
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best
mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp for as
long as possible it is important to keep the lawn free
from branches, small stones and other objects.
Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing result.
See
Replace the blades on page 36
.
1.2.3 Working method
The robotic lawnmower automatically mows the lawn. It
continuously alternates between mowing and charging.
When the robotic lawnmower body hits an obstacle or
approaches the boundary wire the robotic lawnmower
reverses and selects a new direction. Sensors at the
front and back will sense when the robotic lawnmower is
approaching the boundary wire. The front of the robotic
lawnmower always passes the boundary wire by a
specific distance before the mower turns around. The
distance can be changed to adapt to the installation if
required.
The STOP button on the top of the robotic lawnmower is
mainly used to stop the robotic lawnmower when it’s
running. When the STOP button is pressed a hatch
opens, behind which there is a control panel. The control
panel is where you manage all the robotic lawnmower
settings.The STOP button remains pressed in until the
hatch is closed again. This together with the START
button acts as a start inhibitor.
1.2.4 Movement pattern
The movement pattern of the robotic lawnmower is
random, which means that a movement pattern is never
repeated. With this cutting system the lawn is mown
evenly without any mowing lines from the robotic
lawnmower.
1.2.5 Search method
The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging
station towards, for instance, a remote part of the
working area or through a narrow passage. It is
connected to the boundary wire and makes it much
easier and faster for the robotic lawnmower to find the
charging station. For more information, see
Installation
of the guide wire on page 18
.
The robotic lawnmower starts to search for the charging
station when the battery charge becomes too low. The
robotic lawnmower does not mow when it is searching
for the charging station.
When the robotic lawnmower searches for the charging
station, it first searches irregularly for the guide wire.
Then it follows the guide wire to the charging station,
turns around just in front of the station and backs into it.

3.1.1 Main components for installation
The installation of the robotic lawnmower involves 4
main components:
1. A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by
essentially operating in a random pattern.
2. A charging station, to where the robotic lawnmower
returns when the battery level becomes too low.
3. A power supply, which is connected to the charging
station and a 100-240V wall socket. The power
supply is connected to the wall socket and to the
charging station using a 10 m / 33 ft. long low
voltage cable. Low voltage cables with 3 m / 10 ft.
and 20 m / 65 ft. length are available as optional
accessories. No parts of the power supply must be
changed or tampered with. For example the low
voltage cable must not be shortened or extended.
4. Loop wire, which is laid around the edges of the
lawn and around objects and plants that the robotic
lawnmower must not run into. The loop wire is used
both as a boundary wire and a guide wire. The
maximum permitted length for the boundary loop is
400 m / 1300 ft.
3.2 Preparations
Read through this entire chapter before beginning the
installation. How the installation is done also affects how
well the robotic lawnmower works. It is therefore
important to plan the installation carefully.
Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the
working area, including all obstacles. This makes it
easier to see the ideal positions for the charging station,
the boundary wire and the guide wire. Draw on the
sketch where the boundary and guide wires should be
routed.
Visit www.mcculloch.com for further descriptions and
tips regarding installation.
1. If the lawn in the working area is longer than 10 cm /
4 in. mow it using a standard lawnmower. Collect the
grass.
2. Fill in holes and hollows to stop rainwater forming
pools of water. The product may be damaged if it is
operated in pools of water. See
Warranty on page
