Introduction
You have decided to invest in a revolutionary piece of machinery – the
Bigmow robot mower.
Congratulations on choosing this high-tech equipment!
We would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in our young
company. After having completed the industrial development of the Bigmow robot
mower, we have now begun the manufacture and marketing of this extraordinary
product, which will take care of the maintenance of your leisure areas, lawns and
sports fields, all by itself!
As fantastic as it is, the Bigmow must be put into operation, its areas of work must
be defined, its recharging station must be installed and its electrical supply must be
controlled. This brochure aims to answer all your questions and give you the infor-
mation required for obtaining the best return and service from your Bigmow.
It is suggested in our brochure that you carry out certain checks, controls and basic
maintenance in the course of the season; if you do these, the return from the Big-
mow will be all the better.
We also suggest in the brochure that you follow the safety instructions, as provided
for all garden tractors and lawnmowers on the market. In paying a little attention to
Bigmow now, you will gain a great deal of satisfaction from it in the long run.
We will help you to obtain these results.

tact with objects, which is one of Bigmow’s main assets. Moreover, its sonar system allows it to detect the presence of
a person or object nearby, which makes it slow down instantaneously and, on slight contact, to stop and change direc-

Description of the BIGMOW
BIGMOW
The BIGMOW
BIGMOW
The Bigmow is a completely automatic lawnmower for areas up to
5 acres. By moving in an area defined by a low-voltage under-
ground sheathed wire, it allows the owner to maintain his lawn
consistently and independently. The Bigmow moves mainly at
random while adapting to its environment, avoiding any obstacle
through sonar and different sensors. The Bigmow will recharge its
battery automatically when it reaches a minimum charge level.
The Bigmow uses modern cutting-edge technology, such as the
electronics managing a multitude of information in real time on
safety, the battery charge, maintenance and work requirements,
amongst other things.
The Bigmow has a display showing a large amount of information
that is useful in its operation.
The use of the keyboard allows the owner:
1. to enter the anti-theft security code essential to the opera-
tion of the Bigmow
2. to modify certain options in order to optimise usage (e.g.
choice of mowing mode, choice of language, information
display,...).
A sound alert is also used to inform the user.

Technical Specifications.
Once installation is complete, you get start your
new automatic lawnmower: the Bigmow. Depend-
ing on its mowing mode (automatic or system-
atic) and its programme, the Bigmow will start
mowing the lawn.
When it encounters an obstacle (minimum height
16 in), its sonar will instruct it to slow down and,
on contact with the obstacle, its various sensors
will instruct it to stop, reverse, change direction
and continue to mow the lawn.
The Bigmow will also systematically mow the
thicker areas of the lawn, and it will do so auto-
matically.
The Bigmow will instantly recharge when his bat-
teries fall below the minimum charge level. It
moves in the direction of the peripheral wire and
follows it in the right direction towards the re-
charging station. After recharging fully, the Big-
mow automatically resumes mowing the lawn.
When the lawn does not need mowing, the Big-
mow remains at its recharging station and re-
sumes mowing later. It only works when required
to do so.

Mowing modes of the BIGMOW

Mowing modes
Random
Random mode is the most frequently used
mode for use of the Bigmow. It consists in
choosing the route to be taken at random.
Every time it encounters an obstacle or the
peripheral wire, the computer instructs Big-
mow to move in a different direction. In this
way, the route taken will never the same.
Systématic.
Systematic mode is more specific to certain
applications and requires a uniform area with
as few obstacles as possible (e.g. sports
fields). The idea is to turn concentrically fol-
lowing the shape of the lawn, until Bigmow
reaches the center of the mowing area. Ap-
proaching the center (at ± 20% of the remain-
ing surface), the Bigmow will mow the center
at random for a time before resuming its con-
centric mowing, but this time heading for the
exterior of the mowing area. The placement of
the peripheral wire thus remains the same, as
does the response to obstacles. The Bigmow
detects and goes around them in order to re-
sume the position it was in the process of
reaching. The selection of systematic mode is
done via the “Options” menu (F1). It is possi-
ble to begin mowing from the center towards
the exterior ('#' 'F1' 'F3' 'F3' 'F3' '#' 'F3' '#')

Options and spare parts for the BIGMOW
BIGMOW
When you require a spare part, it is recom-
mended that you contact the local distributor
directly.
Approximately two sets of cutting blades are
needed in the course of a season. It is therefore
important to change the blades at the beginning
of the season and then around the month of
June. When the cutting blades are used on
harder materials (such as branches, gravel,
etc.), it is strongly recommended that the
blades be checked more frequently and
changed. The cutting blades kit is available
from your local distributor.
The usual lifespan for a set of batteries is 2
years. A battery management system regularly
checks their condition. A battery kit is available
from your local distributor.
Each option has its own specific use. As regards
the different options available for your Bigmow,
you will find more information and different de-
velopments on the following websites: http://
