In the following section, we would like to help you better understand how Landroid works.
Landroid is an autonomous machine, capable of operating on its own. It knows when it needs to go to its charging base, can sense when it is raining, can stop itself if it senses a problem and knows to stop, draw back, and turn around when it bumps into something blocking its path. To prevent an accident, Landroid will also automatically stop its blade disc from rotating if it is lifted off the ground.
Smart auto scheduling
Landroid programs itself, learns about your lawn and builds the perfect schedule for it. Using cloud computing, Landroid continuously fine-tunes mowing cycles to the actual growth rate of your grass. Even though you can manually program it, we recommend you take advantage of this advanced auto-scheduling by connecting Landroid to the internet and using the free Landroid app.
Charges itself
When your Landroid needs to recharge, it will stop mowing and follow the boundary wire in an anti-clockwise direction back to its charging base. Once charging is complete, Landroid will automatically resume mowing or stay in the charging base according to its mowing schedule.
Border management
Landroid is programmed to mow the grass along the perimeter of your lawn once a week on Monday. If you want to change this pre-set, you can modify it via your smartphone or by using the control panel in "Work time-Customise Work time" menus. See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.
Rain sensor
Landroid is 100% weather proof and happy to be outside. But mowing wet grass does not give you the best finish or result. Landroid is equipped with a rain sensor which detects rain and tells Landroid to stop mowing and go back to its charging base.
Rain delay time
After a rainfall, Landroid re-starts when the grass is no longer wet. The default Rain Delay time is 180 minutes. You can change the Rain Delay time setting via Landroid App or by using the control panel. See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.
In more extreme weather...
In case of a lightning storm, protect Landroid by unplugging the charging base, disconnecting the boundary wire, and making sure Landroid is not allowed to charge. In the Winter and especially in case of very cold weather and snow, we recommend you store your Landroid inside. In some countries we offer a Winter servicing of your Landroid so it's ready for the Spring growing season. Contact your dealer or check online for more details.
No more grass clippings to collect
Landroid's daily mowing produces very short clippings that don't need to be raked. These clippings are a perfect organic nutrient for your lawn. Frequent mowing boosts the density of grass blades and effectively prevents the propagation of weeds.
Cut to edge
Landroid M and L models have a cut to edge feature. The special offset blade gets as close as possible to the border of your lawn, leaving you little or no trimming to do.
Cutting Height
Landroid's cutting height can be adjusted between 30mm-60mm at 10mm steps. Before starting your Landroid for the first time, make sure your grass is no longer than 10cm. If longer, use a regular mower to cut it before operating Landroid. If you want to drastically shorten the height of your grass, it is recommended that you do so progressively, by adjusting the cutting height in steps.
Security & PIN Protection
To prevent unauthorised people from being able to use it, Landroid is protected by a PIN code that you can easily set up. If Landroid is connected to your Wi-Fi network, you can lock it on your smartphone through the app. If additional security is required, we even have a Find my Landroid option which allows you to track your Landroid via a built in pre-paid SIM.
INSTALLING THE UNIT YOURSELF? EASIER THAN YOU MAY THINK
Installing your Worx Landroid is easier if you carefully follow these instructions. In the end, it is a matter of installing the charging station and laying the boundary wire all around your lawn. In addition to this manual, you can use the Get Started guide that's inside the box and watch the comprehensive video tutorials on our YouTube channel*.
* This information is provided for your convenience but does not replace the instruction manual and the safety instructions that needs to be read and understood.
EVERY MINUTE SPENT IN PLANNING SAVES YOU 10 MINUTES IN EXECUTION
Installing Landroid is even easier if you have made a clear idea of what you need to do. A proper planning will also help you avoid mistakes or having to rework the installation once it's done.
On the surface or buried?
Landroid's boundary wire is designed to stay on the surface of your lawn. Nearly invisible from the first day, it will be engulfed in the soil in a few weeks. If you will want to bury the wire, it is recommended to first peg it down and test the installation is successful by running Landroid over the perimeter. This allows you to easily check everything and, if necessary, change the layout before burying the wire. Bury the wire no more than a few centimetres below ground level, so that the wire ensures good signal.
Plan for the charging station
The charging station is where your Landroid goes to have its battery recharged. It's also the parking lot where it rests in between one mowing session and the next.
Locate a proper position for it, bearing in mind:
You can place the charging station on your lawn or on a hard surface like a walkway, provided that the lawn and the hard surface are at the same height (no steps).
To enter the station, Landroid needs at least 80cm straight path in front. On the exit side, it needs at least 30cm straight path before a left turn (fig. 1). If the turn is to the right, there is no need for a straight path (fig. 2).
Charging station checklist:
Plan for the boundary wire
The wire has to be placed at a certain distance from the edge of the lawn. This distance changes depending on what's on the other side of the edge. Different parts of your lawn may border different scenarios:
If a side of your lawn borders a neighbor's lawn with a robotic mower in use, lay your wire 1m apart from your neighbor's wire to avoid possible interference.
Landroid is designed to manage the most complex of lawns. Carry out a visual inspection of your lawn so you are prepared for a trouble-free installation of the boundary wire.
Identify forbidden areas
You don't want your robot mower to behead flowers, dive into a water feature, or shred tree roots that emerge from the ground. Locate these areas and surround them with boundary wire to prevent Landroid from accessing them.
The boundary wire is a single loop connected on both ends to the charging station, so you will have to depart with the wire from the border, surround the area you want to protect, then take the wire back to the border as illustrated here in fig. 1.
If areas to be surrounded are far away from the border of your lawn, or if you have several areas and tree roofs to protect, this traditional method is time consuming.
A great alternative is to purchase Landroid's Off-Limits option. With this, you simply surround forbidden areas with the Off-Limits digital fence, which does not need to be connected to the boundary loop (fig. 2). The Off-Limits digital fence is also great to protect seasonal equipment (e.g. a trampoline) or for protecting new changes to the layout of your lawn without having to rework the boundary wire.
Identify obstacles
Landroid's bump sensor can manage solid obstacles such as trees, furniture and the like, which don't need to be surrounded by wire. If your lawn has several obstacles and trees close to each other, we recommend you to purchase the Landroid ACS option, an intelligent ultrasonic auto-pilot that makes your Landroid steer around obstacles instead of bouncing into them.
NOW ROLL YOUR SLEEVES UP. WHEN IT'S DONE IT'S DONE!
Now that you have planned the installation in every detail, you are ready to take action. Before starting, you may want to use your old mower for the last time to clean up your lawn and make the installation easier.
Fix the charging station in the selected location
Connect one end of the boundary wire to the charging station
Lay the boundary wire around your lawn
Secure the wire to the ground using pegs
Lay perimeter islands, if needed
Bertelsen method: how to make perfect 90° angles with corners facing the lawn
If there are 90 degree corners that face the inside of your lawn, use the Bertelsen ruler to help Landroid make perfect turns (and remove the risk that Landroid hits an obstacle on the border of the lawn whilst doing this manoeuvre).
Close the loop
Once you have completed laying the wire on the perimeter of your lawn, you will arrive back to the charging base.
Final steps
The boring part is over! There are only a few more steps to go:
Let Landroid charge the battery for a while. Whilst it is charging you may want to take a well-deserved break: get familiar with the following instructions, and connect Landroid to your Wi-Fi network.
Joining up the boundary wire
Landroid box includes two small, waterproof boundary wire connectors. They can be used for the following:
The connectors are waterproof and provide optimal electric connection.
Attention: it is not recommended to simply splice the boundary wire with insulating tape or use a screw terminal block for connection. A broken circuit may occur after a period of time as soil moisture can oxidize the wire.
NOW FOR THE EXCITING BIT!
START LANDROID FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Landroid's control panel provides the key functi ons in a minimalistic design.
For advanced functions, the free Landroid app provides further options in a richer interface: your smartphone.
To make your Landroid safer and more secure, change the default 0000 PIN to a PIN of your choice.
Write down the PIN and keep it in a safe place. For extra security, register your Landroid and record your PIN on Worx website. We will store it safely and you will always be able to retrieve it from the My Landroid section on the website.
Please note that in case you lose your PIN, you will not be able to operate Landroid. In order to make Landroid as secure as possible, there is no reset procedure for the PIN that can be operated by anyone, including Landroid authorized service centers.
If you decide to sell your Landroid in the future, please restore the factory default 0000 PIN before delivering it to the new owner, or give your personalized PIN to the new owner.
If you are delivering your Landroid to a Service Center, please let them know your PIN.
Why connect Landroid
Landroid is an IoT (Internet of Things) device. To get full functionality out of your Landroid and keep it always updated to the latest software, it must be connected to the internet via your Wi-Fi network or by using Find My Landroid Accessory.
BEFORE YOU START
Tip: when Landroid moves to an area of your lawn with poor or no Wi-Fi signal, instructions sent from the app will only be executed when Landroid returns to an area with good signal.
HOW TO CONNECT LANDROID TO THE INTERNET
If your WiFi does not cover the entire lawn you may consider the purchase of the Landroid Radio Link option, which extends the signal up to 500m in range.
As an alternative, you can purchase the Find My Landroid option that besides connecting Landroid to the internet via its build in SIM card, also allows you to track it in the unfortunate event it gets stolen.
LANDROID APP NOT A SIMPLE REMOTE CONTROL
Don't think at it as a remote control. The app is an integral part of the Worx Landroid advanced ecosystem based on cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Thanks to the app's augmented reality feature, you can measure the exact area of your lawn. It's as easy as taking a walk along its border.
You can use the app to upload information on your grass species, soil type and irrigation. These inputs, in combination with weather data and lawn size, will allow our cloud computing to tailor-make your Landroid's working schedule to the actual growth of your grass, everyday.
The app also lets you view statistics on what Landroid has been doing for you.
If you ever need to get your Landroid serviced, you can even open a service ticket by using the app.
The app also notifies you when there's new software available for Landroid to download automatically over the air.
Once connected, Landroid can access its unique auto scheduling instructions from the cloud and is able to download the latest software to optimise its performance.
CONFIGURE LANDROID TO YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS
You can supercharge your Landroid model with five unique options that can optimise the performance of Landroid to fit your unique garden and your individual needs. Here is a quick overview—for more information visit our website.
Intelligent obstacle avoidance with ultrasonic sensors.
Give simple instructions via voice control instead of having to hit keys.
The Off Limits option creates a boundary around areas of your lawn without the need to connect with your main boundary wire.
Protect your Landroid from theft using GPS combined with a mobile signal. Thanks to its cellular module, this accessory also eliminates the need for Wi-Fi or RadioLink to stay connected to the internet at all times.
Regular domestic Wi-Fi networks typically only cover a fraction of the entire garden— RadioLink solves this. It create a bomb-proof radio connectivity that extends as much as 500 meters from your Wi-Fi router.
Your Landroid works hard and needs to be cleaned and checked from time to time. This section of our guide helps you keep Landroid in good shape so it can last for years without troubles. Here's how to take care of your Landroid
Landroid does not cut grass like other mowers. Its cutting blades are razor sharp on 2 edges and rotate in both directions for maximum cutting capacity.
Before cleaning, adjusting, or replacing the blades, turn your Landroid OFF and remove the battery. Always wear protective gloves.
Remove the battery (fig. 1) and gently flip the Landroid over (fig.2)
Take the screws off the blades with a screwdriver (fig. 3 - 4)
Firmly screw on the new blades (fig. 5 - 6)
Refit the battery (fig. 7)
Attention: When fitting new blades, make sure you replace ALL the blades.
Your Landroid should be cleaned regularly. This helps keep it in good condition, especially removing dirt, debris and the build-up of grass from daily mowing. Turn Landroid off before cleaning it. For extra safety, remove the battery.
DO NOT use a hose, high pressure washer or otherwise pour running water on your Landroid. High pressure water can go inside the sealings and damage electronic and mechanical parts.
The heart of Landroid is its 20V Li-Ion Worx Powershare Battery.
Battery maintenance during storage
Although Landroid is designed and built to survive the most severe weather conditions, we recommend storing it in your shed or garage during the winter. To prepare it for winter hibernation:
Getting back to work in the Spring
When it is time to re-start Landroid for the new season, please perform the following checks:
Landroid is always improving and new software versions are made available for free. Always keep Landroid software updated to make the most of your machine.
If your Landroid is connected to your Wi-Fi network, you will be notified that new software is available via the app. Once you confirm, the update will happen automatically Over-the-Air.
If you want to see the software version number:
NOTE: Make sure Landroid is within the boundary when restarting Landroid.
Despite its minimalistic design, you can set several advanced functions through the built-in control panel.
However, for the best user experience we recommend you use the free Landroid app to do this, given its much richer and intuitive interface.
To set the time on your new Landroid, please do the following:
Landroid creates its own automatic schedule and working time based on the size of your lawn and other factors. Our recommendation is not to manually adjust these settings. However there are 3 ways to manually adjust the mowing time depending on your requirements.
Sometimes things can go wrong. Fortunately Landroid is smart enough to tell you if it is enountering an issue, so you can fix it. If in doubt, please visit our website where you will find useful videos and further support.
