Never mow the lawn yourself again“Saturday is mowing day”, that’s history. once installed, the GaRDena Robotic Lawnmower R40Li/R70Li/R160 mows the lawn on its own. and you can do whatever you please.

Never remove grass cuttings againnatural recycling: The GaRDena Robotic Lawnmower R40Li/R70Li/R160 reduces grass cuttings to a natural mulch. Positive side benefit: You no longer need to rake and dispose of cuttings.

Always a perfectly cared-for lawnThe proven technology of the GaRDena Robotic Lawnmower R40Li/R70Li/R160 is based on a random, natural motion pattern. This prevents tracks and uneven mowing stripes. The result is soon visible: an evenly cut surface with lush grass growth.

The lawn is one of the most care-intensive parts of a garden. How wonderful to not have to do it yourself – even with secondary lawn areas. The result: a perfectly cared-for lawn without stripes.

Thanks to the guide wire, the Robotic Lawnmower finds its way back to the charging station when its battery is low. no tracks are left along the guide wire because the mower always drives back to the charging station at different distances from the wire.

The Robotic Lawnmower works in a random motion pattern.This has several benefits:

• Reliable mowing. Anywhere. The Robotic Lawnmower covers the entire lawn up to 400 m2 (R40Li),

700 m² (R70Li) or 1600 m² (R160).• Perfect lawn appearance, without stripes. as the Robotic Lawnmower mows in various directions, the cut is

even and very clean. The lawn is better aerated. This stimulates grass growth.

• Mowing independently of time and weather. The Robotic Lawnmower mows and recharges on its own. especially

in times of strong lawn growth, i.e. interchanging heat and rain, a lawn needs to be evenly and regularly mowed. and that with an energy consumption of just 7 kWh/month (R40Li), 12 kWh/month (R70Li) or25kWh/month (R160).

• Experienced Robotic Lawnmower pioneer. This random motion pattern is based on nearly 20 years of experi-

ence with reliable and premium quality Robotic Lawnmowers*.

Always finds its way – thanks to the guide wirean even cut is guaranteed.

Perfectly mowedWith the random motion pattern.

When the garden comprises two areas, e.g. a lawn area behind the house and a small lawn area in the front yard, then you can set a secondary area using the boundary Wire. The Robotic Lawnmower is simply transferred and reliably mows both areas.

Using different activation points, the garden can be divided into two (R40Li) or three (R70Li as well as R160) sections. You can set how often the Robotic Lawnmower drives to these sections and mows them. The remote activation function ensures that all garden sections – even those far away from the charging station – are evenly and precisely mowed. These points help the mower to evenly reach and cover all lawn sections.

Ex.: R70li with three sections

Setting the remote activation function

1) Divide the garden into up to three sections• Two activation points are defined on the guide wire (see 1 and 2).• enter the distance of the activation points (in metres) to the charging

station in the menu.

2) Set the mowing frequency per section• Depending on the size of the lawn section, the mowing frequency is

defined.• enter mowing frequency in the menu (five pre-defined levels: never=0%,rarely=20%,medium=50%,often=80%and always=100%).

• The mowing frequency in the area in front of the charging station is automatically calculated.

The way the Robotic Lawnmower mows is good for your lawn. Your lawn receives just what it needs. The simple and intuitive menu shows you what to do.

Language, date, time and lighting are set. The remote activation function is activated in the standard settings. The Robotic Lawnmower drives to remote sections of the garden.

1. Standard settings 2. Security settings 3. Setting the mowing times

The Robotic Lawnmower is equipped with a Pin code and an alarm function. The Pin code is entered and changed in the security settings. in the menu, you can select a security level from low to high. Low: Time lock, Pin code entry after 30 days Medium: Time lock and additional Pin code request when housing is opened High: Time lock, Pin code entry and stop alarm, i.e. the Pin code entry must take place within 10 seconds, otherwise the alarm is released

You’ll achieve best mowing results when the Robotic Lawnmower is used every day. Use the following guidelines to adjust the mowing duration to your individual garden. Rule of thumb: With R40Li: per 30 m² lawn area, 1 hour operation time per day. Examples: • 100 m² = approx. 3 hrs/day • 200 m² = approx. 7 hrs/day • 400 m² = approx. 13 hrs/day With R70Li: per45m²lawnarea, 1 hour operation time per day. Examples: • 200m²=approx.4.5hrs/day • 400 m² = approx. 9 hrs/day • 700 m² = approx. 16 hrs/day

With R160: per 70 m² lawn area, 1 hour operation time per day. Examples: • 500m²=approx.7hrs/day • 1000 m² = approx. 14 hrs/day • 1600 m² = approx. 24 hrs/day The operation time (includes mowing- and charging time) can be set in one unit (e.g. 200 m² = approx. 7 hours), e.g. from 8:00–15:00.Oritcanbe divided into two units, e.g. from 6:00 – 10:00 and from 14:00 – 17:00.

which one? that’s up to you GARDENA Robotic Lawnmower R40Li, R70Li or R160.

• For smaller lawns Smaller lawn areas are the trend. The

GaRDena Robotic Lawnmower R40Li is ideal for lawn areas up to 400 m².

• For simpler lawns With simpler lawn areas that are not

complex the GaRDena Robotic Lawn-mower R40Li allows more free time and relaxation.

• Time is money Just imagine how much time you’ll save

that you normally spend mowing! This is a worthy purchase.

even if your lawn is on the small side: Let it be mowed for you. The GaRDena Robotic Lawnmower R40Li allows relaxed lawn care with smaller and simple lawn shapes.

• For larger lawn areas The R160 tackles lawn areas up to

1600 m² with complex structures and narrow passages up to 70 cm in diameter.

• More free time Reduced mowing with smaller lawn

areas allows more standby times and uninterrupted enjoyment of the lawn.

• Multiple-search system The mower uses the guide wire,

boundary wire and antenna as orientation for quickly finding its way back to the charging station, even on large and complex lawns.

• IntenseMow function ensures that spots with higher/denser

grass are more strongly mowed.

• Remote transmission GPS available as an accessory.

• Greater area coverage The R70Li provides greater area coverage

and is suitable for lawn areas up to 700 m².

• Faster The R70Li tackles more lawn area in the

same time, and works faster. With smaller areas, this has the advantage that more standby times can be planned. The lawn can be enjoyed longer without interruptions.

• For complex gardens The R70Li offers more individual setting

options for particularly complex lawn areas or lawn areas with spots that are difficult to access. With the remote acti-vation function, you can determine how often the Robotic Lawnmower drives to several hard-to-access garden sections.

• Robust and energy-saving Through a sliding disc attached to the

blade disc, the R70Li has a robust cut-ting deck. This improves protection of the blades and thereby extends their life under difficult conditions e.g. stones and roots. at the same time, the energy consumption of the Robotic Lawnmower is reduced.

• Great price-performance ratio Save loads of time and benefit

from high performance: The R70Li has even better output and efficiency.
