ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER TERMS & CONDITIONS

Set Up and installation

​

Prior to purchasing a robot lawnmower, you should be aware that because robot lawn mowers use a boundary wire to detect the edge of your lawn, there is some time spent installing this prior to using your machine. The setup process will take a few hours, but it is quite simple. Once the setup is complete, there is very little input involved in running a robot lawn mower

If you choose the wired perimeter option the installation will be done with a wire laying machine where possible, placing the wire approx. 40mm underground.  Please let us know if there are any buried cables or pipes near the perimeter of the lawn. Where it is not possible to lay the wire underground it will be surface mounted and pegged using plastic pegs to secure.

​​

If you choose the wireless option (no boundary wire) please note that not all makes will cut as close to the edge due to the way they work, as any robotic lawnmower installation this does take a few hours to map out and test much.

​​

Any preparation work on the lawn or paths etc needs to be carried out before installation. If the installation cannot be carried out on the day due to lack of preparation work, there will be a £100.00 charge for a return visit. DC garden machinery can advise on any necessary preparation before installation with a free of charge visit before purchase.

An external waterproof socket is required for the base station where the transformer can be housed.
Any electrical work needs to be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Please ensure the lawn has been mowed, grass removed, and edges trimmed to your normal cut height just prior to the installation taking place.

Perimeter wire is required to be laid 90cm away from any water’s edge, ponds, swimming pools etc, and sheer drops.

Wireless robots can be mapped up to a meter away from any water’s edge, ponds, swimming pools etc, and sheer drops.

Trampolines staying on the lawn need to have boards fitted to ensure the robot does not cross over the metal bars at the base and damage itself, any such damage will not be covered by warranty.

Please advise if you or your neighbour have an electric dog fence fitted as this might interfere with the mowers function.
