boundary wire to ensure
LandxcapeTM
's trouble-free tracking when locating
the charging station. Confirm that
LandxcapeTM
docks in the charging
station successfully, and bury the wire if desired.
5.3 Joining the boundary wire
If you want to extend and splice the boundary wire, use a connector.
The connector is waterproof and provides optimal connection.
Insert both wire ends in any two of the three holes of the connector.
Insert the wires fully until both wire ends are visible on the other side of
the connector. (See Fig. H) Press the connector together by using a pair
of pliers. (See Fig. I1, I2)
WARNING! It is not recommended to simply splice the boundary
wire with insulating tape or use a screw terminal block for
connection. A broken circuit may occur after a period of time as soil
moisture can oxidize the wire.

7. Maintenance
Your LandxcapeTM works hard and needs to be cleaned and checked
from time to time. Some parts will require replacement as they become
worn. Never use your LandxcapeTM with defective main switch.
Switch off the machine before carrying out any service or maintenance.
Here's how to take care of your LandxcapeTM.
7.1 Keep it sharp
WARNING: Before cleaning, adjusting, or replacing the
blades, turn your LandxcapeTM OFF and put on protective
gloves.
WARNING: When fitting new blades, make sure you
replace ALL the blades. Always use new screws when
fitting blades. This is important to ensure blade retention and
balance the blade turning disc. Failure to use new screws could
cause serious injury.
LandxcapeTM
does not cut grass like other mowers. Its cutting blades
are razor sharp on 2 edges and rotate in both directions for maximum
cutting capacity (See Fig. K). Each blade of your
LandxcapeTM
has 2
cutting edges. The blade turning disc will make forward and reverse
rotation at random to use both cutting edges and minimize the
frequency of replacing the blades. Each cutting blade will last up to
2 months when it is programmed to mow everyday. Always check to
see if the blades are chipped or damaged and replace them if they
are. When the cutting blades are dull and worn out, they should be
replaced with the spare blades provided with your
LandxcapeTM
. Spare
blades are also available at your nearest
LandxcapeTM
retailer.
A. Replace the Blades
After some time, usually every season, your LandxcapeTM’s Blades
will need to be replaced. When replacing the blades, make sure to
replace ALL of them at the same time. You can replace them with one
of the spare blade kits and extra blade screws supplied with your
LandxcapeTM.
Before attempting to replace your LandxcapeTM’s blades, turn the
power off and put on protective gloves and follow these steps:
1. Gently flip LandxcapeTM over.
2. Remove the battery cover and remove the battery.
3. Take the screws off the blades with a screwdriver. (See Fig. L)
4. Firmly screw on the new blades.
5. Refit the battery and the battery cover.
IMPORTANT: After screwing the blade to the blade disc, make
sure the blade is able to spin freely.
7.2 Keep it clean
WARNING: Before cleaning, turn your LandxcapeTM OFF.
Put on protective gloves before cleaning the blade
turning disc and do not rinse or flush with water.
A. Cleaning the body
Your LandxcapeTM will live a much happier and longer life if it is
cleaned regularly. Although, since your LandxcapeTM is an electric
machine, you will need to take care when cleaning. DO NOT use a
hose, high pressure washers and do not pour running water on
your LandxcapeTM. It is best to use a spray bottle filled with water.
When cleaning the machine body, use a soft brush or clean cloth and
avoid using solvents or polishes (See Fig. M). Lastly, remove all build
up of grass clippings and debris.
B. Cleaning the Underside
Again, it is important that you power LandxcapeTM OFF and wear
protective gloves before touching the blade turning disc.
First, flip your LandxcapeTM upside down to expose its underside. Here
you will see the blade disc, the chassis, and the front wheel and driving
wheels. Clean everything thoroughly with a soft brush or moist rag.
WARNING: NEVER clean the underside of LandxcapeTM with
running water. Component damage can occur. (See Fig. N1,
N2)
Rotate the blade disc to ensure it rotates freely. Check the blades spin
freely around the fixing screws. Remove any obstructions.
IMPORTANT: Remove any lodged debris so that it does not cause
a crack in the blade disc. Even the tiniest crack can decrease
your LandxcapeTM's mowing output.
C. Clean the contact pins and the charging strips
Clean the contact pins located on the charging station and the
charging strips located on LandxcapeTM using a cloth. Remove any
built up grass clippings or debris around the contact pins and charge
strips periodically to ensure LandxcapeTM successfully charges each
