For every technical service request re-garding the machine, please indicate thedata found on the identification plate, the

approximate hours of use and the type offault detected.

The appliance Ambrogio Line200 is a robot designed and builtto automatically trim grass in gar-dens and house lawns in any timeof the day. It is small, compact, si-lent, waterproof and easy totransport.

Relative to the various specifica-tions of the sufrace to be mown,the robot can be programmed tomachine a number of areas: amain one and, in addition, two orthree secondary areas.

During its functioning the robottrims the area marked off by theperimeter wire and/or by barri-ers (fences, walls, etc.)

When the robot detects the per-imter wire or meets an obstacle itchanges trajectory in a randommanner and starts again in a newdirection.

According to its functioning prin-ciple ("random"), the robot car-ries out an automatic andcomplete trimming of themarked off lawn (see figure).

The lawn surface that the robotis able to trim depends on a series of fac-tors.– robot model and type of batteries in-

stalled– area features (irregular perimeters,

uneven surface, divided area, etc.)

– lawn features (type and height ofgrass, moisture, etc.)

– blade conditions (with efficient sharp-ening, without residues and deposits,etc)

Robot installation does not involve inter-ventions that are difficult to carry out,but requires a minimum of preliminaryplanning to define the best area to install

the charging station, power supply-trans-mitter group and to lay out the perime-ter wire.

Power supplier-transmittergroup and recharging station in-stallation area– Power supplier-transmitter

group and recharging stationmust be installed inside themain work area and near toeach other.

– The recharging station must bepositioned on a flat and stablesurface and able to guaranteegood drainage to avoid flooding.

– The section of input wire mustbe rectilinear and aligned per-pendicularly to the rechargingstation for at least 2 m and theoutput section must be locatedat least 30 cm from the re-charging station; this makes itpossible for the robot to entercorrectly.

ImportantIs it advisable to install the unit in acloset for electric components (for out-doors or indoors), well ventilated tokeep a correct air recirculation andprovided with a key closure.

Warning - CautionAssure that the access to the powersupply-transmitter unit is allowed onlyto authorized people.

Perimeter wire path definition

– Check the whole surface of thelawn and assess whether it isnecessary to divide it in moreseparated working areas.

– When positioning the perimterwire, respect the rotation direc-tion around the bays (anticlock-wise).

– Define the perimeter of themain area, any secondary are-as, and carry out the opera-tions in the sequence indicated.

Arrangement of lawn to trim1-Check that the lawn to trim is

even, and without pits, stonesor other obstacles. If so, per-form the necessary clearanceoperations.If some obstacles cannot beremoved, it is necessary toproperly mark the areas in-volved.

2-Check that all the areas of thelawn do not exceed the admis-sible gradients (see "Specifica-tions"). During the work phaseon slopes, when the robot de-tects the wire the wheels mayslide and make it exit from theperimeter area. To avoid thisproblem, it is possible to install the"Slopes kit" and the "Clawed" wheels.

ImportantThe areas, showing higher gradientsthan those admitted cannot betrimmed with the robot.

If the proper kit is installed and the condi-tions of the ground are suitable (solid,without excessive folds, etc.), the robotcan work (within certain limits) beyondthe maximum admissible gradients.see figure

PREPARATION AND DELIMITATION OF WORK AREAS(MAIN AND SECONDARY)

Marking of working area3-Check the whole surface of the

lawn and assess whether it isnecessary to divide it in moreseparated working areas.Before starting installation op-erations of the perimeter wire,to make them easy to perform,it is recommended to properlysignal the whole path evenlywith straight lines and to traceany curved line.The figure represents an ex-ample of lawn with the tracefor the underground laying ofthe perimeter wire.

ImportantTo ensure the robot can operate,it is necessary for the distanceseparating the delimitation oftwo elements to be greater than70 cm. This distance is requiredto permit robot passage.

When the connection betweenone surface and another of thelawn is represented by a pas-sage (corridor) with a width ofless than 70 cm and not greaterthan 2 m, it is necessary to de-limit the same with the perime-ter wire in a number of workareas that are connected toeach other.

ImportantStrictly respect the distances toavoid that the robot falls with therisk of breaking and/or seriouslygetting damaged.

6-Mark and trace the perime-ters as shown in the figure.

– With small paths at the sameheight as the lawn: 5 cm

– With small paths higher thanthe lawn: 35 cm

– In presence of a fencing wall:35 cm

ImportantThe passage paths (at the samelevel of the lawn), necessary forthe robot to pass from one areato the other, must not bemarked.

The perimeter wire may be laid un-derground or on the ground.

Wire laid on the ground1-Place the wire clockwise along

the whole path and fix it withthe appropriate nails supplied(distance between the nails1÷2 m).

– When positioning the perimterwire, respect the rotation di-rection around the bays (anti-clockwise).

– In the straight stretches, fix thewire so that it is not excessivelytight, wavy and/or twisted.

– In the not straight stretches, fixthe wire so that it does nottwist, but so that it takes on aregular bending.

Underground laid wire1-Dig up the ground evenly and sym-

metrically compared to the tracedline highlighted on the ground.

2-Place the wire clockwise along thewhole path at the depth of some cen-timetres (about 2÷3 cm) so not toreduce the quality and the intensity ofthe signal captured by the robot.

3-When laying the wire, if necessary,block it in some points with the appro-priate nails to keep it in position dur-ing the ground covering stage.

4-Cover up the whole wire with the soiland make sure that it does not twist,but that it remains straight and that,in the curving stretches, it takes onan even bending.

ImportantIn the path stretches, where it isnecessary to pass two parallelwires (for example: connectionbetween the outside perimeterand the inside marked areas),they must be at a distance,which must not exceed 1 cm.

Perimeter wire joint

ImportantIn the case of underground wireas well as of ground laid wire, ifnecessary, properly join it withsome other wire, having thesame features (see figure).

During the joint stage, it is rec-ommended to use self-amalga-mating tape (for example: 3MScotch 23). Do not use isolatingtape or other types of joints (ter-minals, clamps, etc.).

To reduce the times for robot re-entry into the recharging station,carry out settings along the perim-eter wire to permit a change of ro-bot direction. In this way, it ispossible to reduce the robot re-en-try route.To carry out the re-entry setting,position the perimeter wire alongthe route< so as to form an equi-lateral triangle of 40 cm per side.Carry out the rapid re-entry set-ting at a point that is preceded byat least 2 m of rectilinear wire andis followed by at least 1.5 m of rec-tilinear wire.The setting must not be carriedout along the rectilinear sectionthat immediately precedes the recharg-ing station or near to obstacles. Makesure that along the rapid re-entry trajec-tory, there are no obstacles that can im-pede rapid re-entry.

ImportantThe rapid re-entry setting at an incor-rect point may prevent the robot fromrapidly re-entering the recharging sta-tion.

When the robot moves along the pe-rimeter to reach a secondary area itdoes not detect the rapid re-entry set-ting.

The illustration provides some useful in-dications for correctly installing the rapidre-entry setting.

Here below are some indications to fol-low during the use of the robot.– Even after a proper reading of instruc-

tions, at its first use, simulate sometest moves to detect the controls andthe main functions.

– Check that the nuts and bolts secur-ing all main parts are tight.

– Carry out a frequent trimming of thelawn to avoid an excessive growing ofthe grass.

– Do not use the robot to trim grasshigher than 10 cm.

– If the lawn is equipped with an auto-matic irrigation system, programme

the robot so that it re-enters the re-charging station at least 1 hour be-fore the start of irrigation.

– Check the ground gradient and makesure that it does not exceed the maxi-mum values allowed so that the use ofthe robot does not cause dangers.

– The lawn mower should be pro-grammed in order to prevent it fromworking more than necessary; alwaysconsider the different growth of thegrass according to the season in or-der to avoid a useless wear of thelawn mower and a decrease in thebattery life.

ImportantDuring maintenance operations, usethe individual protections indicated bythe Manufacturer, especially when in-tervening on the blade.

Before performing maintenance opera-tions, make sure that the robot hasstopped in safety conditions (see "Ro-bot safety stop").
