The SensorControl function automatically adjusts the cutting time to the growth of the grass. The SensorControl measures the electric current from the cutting motor. By doing so it can determine the force required to cut the grass and thereby how much the grass is growing, for example: low current – low grass – slow growth. The product is not permitted to operate more than the schedule settings.
When using SensorControl, it is recommended to make as much operating time as possible available for the SensorControl and not restrict the schedule more than necessary. The first operation of the day is set by the schedule settings. The product always completes 1 mowing cycle, and then the SensorControl selects if the product will continue to operate or not.
The SensorControl is reset if the product does not operate for more than 50 hours, or if a Reset of all user settings is done. The SensorControl is not changed if a Reset of schedule settings is done.
To set the SensorControl
1. Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to move through the menu structure SensorControl > Use SensorControl.
2. Push the OK button to select the SensorControl.
3. Push the BACK button.
There are 3 frequency levels: Low, Mid and High which determine how frequently the product cuts the grass when the SensorControl is in use. The higher the frequency, the more sensitive the product is to the grass growth. That is, if the grass growth is high then the product is allowed to work longer.
Note: If the mowing results are not optimal when using SensorControl, the schedule settings may need adjusting. It is important not to restrict the schedule more than necessary. Also, check that the blade disc is clean and that the blades are in good condition.
To set the SensorControl frequency
1. Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to move through the menu structure SensorControl > Cutting time.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Low, Mid or High frequency.
3. Push the BACK button.
