Learning the location of garden objects marked
out with the perimeter wire (see figure 20)
Once the Indego has the cutting area mapped it can start to
cut the grass. After pressing "Mow Now" the Indego will leave
the docking station and start to cut the grass in parallel lanes.
For accuracy the parallel lanes are limited to approximately
10 m. It will continue cutting in these lanes until it completes
a section of the cutting area or until it discovers an object that
has been marked out using the perimeter wire.
Once an object is discovered the Indego will follow the perim-
eter wire around it to establish its shape. The Indego will then
drive to the perimeter wire at the edge of the cutting area to
confirm the location of the object within the garden map. The
Indego will then continue mowing. This process will be repeat-
ed if the Indego discovers additional objects whilst mowing.
The Indego will complete the mowing then return to the dock-
ing station.
Note: This process will be continued the 2nd time the Indego
cuts the grass. This is to make sure that all objects in the gar-
den are discovered and their location on the garden map is
accurately logged.
If there are no more objects in the garden the Indego will con-
tinue to cut the grass as normal.
In case a new inner boundary (e. g. flower bed) should be
marked up after the installation is complete, this can be done
by adding extra cable with a wire connector. (see figure 10)
Mowing mode (see figure 20)
Once the Indego has learnt the location of all the objects in the
garden it will mow the garden in an efficient parallel lane pat-
tern.
Dual Speed Cutting
If the Indego encounters deep or thick grass whilst cutting it
will automatically increase the RPM of the cutting system and
slow the drive speed until it has cut the area of higher grass.
Border Cutting Mode
The Indego will cut around the perimeter wire. The frequency
of the border cut can be selected. The default is set to every
fourth cutting slot.
Cutting Lane Proximity
The Indego cuts the lawn using parallel lanes up to 10 m in
length. The cutting lane width is by default set to 20 cm and
Auto mode. In Auto mode the Indego will automatically adjust
the lane width according to the lawn conditions. Auto mode
will suit most lawns. You can however manually adjust the cut-
ting lane width via the Settings menu on the mower HMI dis-
play "Menu > Settings > Mow Settings > Cutting Lane Proxim-
ity". Reducing the cutting lane width down to the minimum
10 cm will result in higher overlapping and your Indego taking
longer to complete your lawn. Increasing the cutting lane
width to the maximum 30 cm will result in less overlapping
and your Indego completing your lawn quicker. On the maxi-
mum 30 cm lane width you may sometime experience uncut
areas between lanes. Should this happen, please reduce the
cutting lane width accordingly.

Sensors
The machine has following sensors:
– lift sensor, will be activated if the machine is lifted and
cause the machine and cutting blades to stop
– roll over sensor, will detect when the machine is inverted
and cause the machine and cutting blades to stop
– obstruction sensor, tactile detection for obstacle any-
where in the full width of the path of the machine and cause
the machine to change its direction
– tilt sensor, will be activated if the machine reaches an an-
gle of 45°
If one of the sensors is activated, such as lift sensor, the
screen will show a message, e. g. "Machine has been lifted.
Please enter PIN code to continue". The display switches into
sleep mode, if no input is made for 10 minutes. Press any but-
ton to reactivate the screen.
If the machine is in sleep mode, press any button to change to
the PIN entry screen and enter the PIN code.

Battery Charging

The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al-
lows charging only in the temperature range between 5 °C
and 45 °C.
The lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. To en-
sure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the ma-
chine in the docking station before first use.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
When the battery is run down or discharged, the machine is
shut off by means of a protective circuit: the blade no longer
moves.
