3.1: Robotic Mower Overview

The robotic mower is a maintenance lawn mower that maintains the height of the grass consistently. When the mower is not mowing your lawn, the mower returns to the charging station to charge before continuing with the next scheduled mowing task.

If the robotic mower contacts an object or reaches a boundary, it will change direction.

3.1.1: SmartZone™ Mowing Pattern

SmartZone maximizes mowing efficiency by progressively moving to unmowed areas of the lawn rather than staying in one mowing zone for too long.

The robotic mower does not follow a normal pattern; it follows a random pattern.

3.1.2: Charging Station Overview

When the mower battery charge is too low for mowing or when it reaches the end of a mowing task, the mower goes to the charging station to charge.

While charging, the indicator light on the mower blinks green. After fully charging, the light turns solid green.

After charging, the mower will exit the charging station and automatically continue with the next scheduled mowing task or it will remain in the charging station if there is not a scheduled task after fully charging.

Note:

If the indicator lights on both the charging station and mower do not illuminate when the mower goes into the charging station, the mower is not charging.

G430093
G430560

3.2: Hub Overview

The hub allows you to communicate with the mower from anywhere within your property. It uses your router to securely connect to the internet.

Communicating through encrypted radio signal, the hub provides a secure communication path and nearly three times the communication distance of a typical Wi-Fi router.

G430561

3.3: Creating the Working Areas

IMPORTANT

Follow the instructions in the app using your mobile device.

Refer to the following example of a property.

You can map the following objects as shown in the figure below.

G530257

  1. Mowing zone

  2. Exclusion zone

  3. Transit path

  4. Charging station

  5. Working area

3.3.1: Creating the Working Area Process Overview

IMPORTANT

Follow the instructions in the app using your mobile device.

In order for the mower to understand your lawn, it has to create a 3D map of your lawn. This is called the working area. Follow the instructions in the app to create your working area map.

  1. Push the mower around the entire perimeter of your property.
  2. Push the mower around the interior of your property using zig-zags spaced approximately 1.8 to 2.4 m (6 to 8 ft) apart.
    Note:

    If your lawn contains narrow passageways, such as a gate, push the mower through the passageway in a figure-8 as shown below.

G529202

3.3.2: Operating on Slopes

The mower is able to operate on slopes up to 25° as long as there are no mowing zone boundaries on that slope. Use an exclusion zone to prevent the mower from operating down slopes that are steeper than allowed.

Mowing zone boundaries should only be placed on slopes less than 15°. Otherwise, there is a risk that the mower will become stuck while turning at the boundary. However, if the boundary is at the top of a slope, or if there are permanent obstacles on the boundary that the mower is able to collide with, such as fences or dense hedges, boundaries can be added to slopes greater than 15° but less than 25°.

G529227

3.3.3: Untrained Obstacles

The mower is able to collide with untrained obstacles, such as rocks or roots, that are taller than 15 cm (6 inches) without damaging the mower. The mower will turn away after colliding with these types of objects and won’t require an exclusion zone to be mapped.

However, it is recommended to use exclusion zones on any fixed objects to ensure quiet operation and prevent the mower from getting stuck on objects.

Objects that are shorter than 15 cm (6 inches) should be excluded using an exclusion zone or removed from your lawn. The mower could attempt to mow over these objects and the blades could be damaged.

G529201

  1. Object taller than 15 cm (6 inches)—no exclusion zone required.

  2. Object shorter than 15 cm (6 inches)—exclusion zone required.

3.4.4: Numeric Keypad/Code Buttons

Using the numeric keypad, enter your 4-digit code to unlock the mower controls.

3.4.5: Hub-Connection Indicator

The hub-connection indicator illuminates green when the mower is able to communicate with the hub or red when the mower is unable to communicate with the hub.

3.4.6: Battery Indicator

The battery indicator illuminates green if the battery is properly charged or red if the battery needs to be charged.

3.4.7: Status Indicator

If the status indicator illuminates green, the mower is functioning properly; if the indicator is red, there is an active fault.

If a fault occurs, open the app to view the fault.

Visit the Haven Robotic Mower Help Center for assistance.

If you cannot correct the fault, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

3.4.8: Lock/Unlock Indicator

An area in which the robot can run autonomously. The area inside a boundary. Operating may be interchangeable with adjectives that describe the work, such as mowing, clearing, and trenching.

Navigation

The ability of a robot to determine its own position in its frame of reference and then to plan a path toward some goal location.

Obstacle

An object or ground condition which can cause harm, or is harmed, if it comes into contact or collision with the machinery.

Obstacle Avoidance

The process of avoiding a collision with an obstacle in the path of a robot by maneuvering around the obstacle.

Obstacle Detection

The process of detecting objects or terrain types that impede the motion of a robot. A robot may use obstacle avoidance to maneuver around an obstacle.

Obstacle Sensor

A device that senses when the machine contacts a person or an obstruction.

Path

A route that a robot is programmed to travel. As part of a job, a path can connect multiple fields or paths.

Robot

A machine designed to execute one or more tasks automatically. For example, a robot can sense, compute, and act. It must be able to have sensors that provide it with input and insights about the physical space around them. It must be able to compute to make decisions based on its programming and inputs. To be defined as a robot, it must be able to move in or change the physical world in some manner.

Sensing

The feedback from the environment of the robot, which enables the robot to react to its environment. Sensory inputs may come from a variety of sensor types.

A non-mowing autonomous lane used only for the robot to travel from one mowing zone to another. An autonomous, exact path that passes through, across, or connects to another transit path, transit area, or operating area.

Working Area

Any defined area in which the machine can function automatically.

California Proposition 65 Warning Information

What is this warning?

You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.
What is Prop 65?

Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.

Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all.

A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

Does this law apply everywhere?

Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.

How do the California warnings compare to federal limits?

Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 μg/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.

Why don’t all similar products carry the warning?

  • Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.

  • A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.

  • The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.

  • Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.

Why does Toro include this warning?

Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
