- Welcome to the Worx Landroid robotic mower installation guide. In this video, we'll go through the steps, tools and information you'll need when installing your Landroid.
Find out more on the Landroid here - worx-europe.co...
I did the layout and installation by studying the on line videos Husqvarna had on the web th-cam.com/users/postUgkx2KDztGvdU79XTmlqIMSUyPq8CjprGJOR also recommended it When I started the unit it stated it would take a few days to learn all the spots in the yard. So I thought it was just finding the areas till I noticed it was cutting. It is so quite you don't know it is cutting.
NB : You show installing around the fountain bowl at 10cm. Howerever, it has a raised edge so it should be at 26cm as if it was a tree.
That is a debate here at HQ. Technically it is too small a circle for the mower to pick up on the wire and run in a circle around it, so the 10cm is enough just for it to bump off the bird bath. but if the circle were any bigger it would definitely need to be 26cm in case the mower decided to treat it as part of the boundary and try follow the wire.
@@WorxUK I digg the transparency and openess. I'm curious about putting the base station next to/on an island like a shed or gazebo for the shade and power
@@cdoublejj as long as it has enough room to maneuver it should be fine. It needs enough to approach in a straight line and pull off straight, although it usually does turn off the base right away. There are retractable roof garages available but a lot of people just install a simple shelf/shelter.
I like to see the use of the magnetic Flux of the conductors to cancel out another conductor. As a diesel tech I have to make sure i do the opposite to not disturb other circuits and their individual magnetic Flux fields.
Hello, just purchased a L2000 model and figuring out how to lay the wire. I have a place where two wires converge into a point, i.e. a path and the fence. how tight a loop can I make for it to cut a maximum space? Didn't find helpful advice on this in the manual.
Hi, what if the distance of the object like that fountain or the flower bed is less than a 1m to the edge, then what to do?
Dig the wire down. My wire has been cut at least 12 times. The robot lifts the wire up when turning and cut the wire. Does not matter how much you pin it down. When in the ground no problem.
Sorry to hear this has been an issue for you. It shouldn't be necessary to bury the wire, but as you say, if you want it to be hassle free it's worth the extra work. Just pegging it down should be enough but you need to ensure you do it frequently enough along the boundary, your lawn is cut short so it's not lying on top of longer grass and that it's a fairly even surface.
I live in tropical sunshine Scotland, lol is this thing (electric prong charging station) even weather proof, there's no mention of cover sheds anywhere
Hi, it is fairly tropical at the moment even in Scotland ;) Yes it is all fully waterproof. Slightly south of you we're had no cover and had it out three years with no issues so far. As part of the yearly maintenance we do advise cleaning the prongs by rubbing with light sandpaper to remove oxidisation but we are also developing a removable charging station for those in more extreme climates. Garages are available from Amazon and E-Bay and a lot of people also make their own.
I just got one today. It works fine but I sent it home once from my phone. That's when it hit a no go area around a tree and decided to follow that home. Only it just kept going around and around the tree. Any suggestions?
Hi David, the best approach is either to pull your tree ring of wire out to be a bigger, preferably squared off shape rather than a tight circle or to widen the wires going out to the circle around the tree to further than 15cm apart so that the mower recognises them, and will incorporate the tree into the boundary. Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with your customer service team or the Worx Landroid Fan Club for a quicker response should you need further advice.
@@WorxUK Thanks - I think your last suggestion will work well. The mower will have a patch of grass between the wires leading to the tree, that will not be cut. But when the mower does the edge cutting twice a week it will probably get it there. I haven't had the problem other then that one time, so I will probably just leave it as it is.
@@davidmllebjerg1321 Hi David, yes I think if it's only 15-20 cm the edge cut shout cover it. Great, hope it doesn't happen again, the AI is normally quite good at learning as it goes, but if it does, you have a solution.
I have section of about a foot and a half of grass between my patio and swimming pool. If I put boundary wire around pool and patio, will the landroid mower have any issues cutting in-between this section? Thanks.
Hi Jeff, that's a bit narrow for the mower to mow. It may pass through but only on a boundary cut. You might have to exclude the pool as an island the way the bird bath is done in the video, but it's difficult to best advise without seeing your set up. If you need more advice, the Worx Landroid Fan Club on facebooks are full of Fans who are very experienced and knowledgeable or you can message our team on there showing photos of your set up for more advice.
Hi,i'm french and bought the new WR 165 E robot is it the same tuto ?
And for trampoline,is it ok without the detector but only with the cord?
Thanks
Hi Team. Just took delivery, hoping to install tomorrow. I have some stepping stones that run from my patio to an outside office- they are pretty much flush with the lawn. Do I have to delineate these with wire, or will the gizmo just happily mow over them?
Hi Con, as long as they are flush they won't be a problem for the mower.
You need to go into more detail on how to hook up the wires to the charging station. I'm still getting an error that says wire missing
There are additional videos on troubleshooting.
I recently purchased a used model which did not come with the triangle piece for right angle turns. Could you provide the dimension of that so I can cut out an approximate to use when laying the wire?
Hi Jesse, it’s 37 x 40 x 22 cm. Hope this helps.
@@WorxUK Thank you! One more question: Can the charging dock be placed near one of these right angle turns, or does it need a clean stretch of 30cm or 80 cm? (In the spot I would like to place it, It has the room, but the triangle would overlap that space)
Hello, is the transformer and cable connector waterproof as I see it has been plugged and mounted outside, and the plug is in a waterproof socket!
Hi Reese, yes they are. You would only need to buy a waterproof housing if you need an extension for the cable. Hope this helps.
How can i create island if it is 60cm from the edge? Will double wire in angle work?
Isn't the barrier wire just 16 or 18 gauge insulated wire? The reason I ask is my house is in the middle of my yard and I would like the mower to mow all the way around. What happens if I just make a perimeter around the yard but not the house? Is it like a robot vacuum and will just turn if it touches the outside house walls?
HI, absolutely it is 18 gauge insulated wire and you could just do a perimeter around the house and the mower would bounce off the walls and eventually learn but for the sake of the possible scraping and continual bumping, we would advise doing the house too. You treat it like an exclusion zone and just wire a 'lollipop' at 90 degrees to the boundary, around the house, and then back to the boundary again, keeping the parallel wires very close or touching. Hope this helps.
We have lots of trees but have ordered the ASC Do we still need to run the cable around the trees ?
No the ACS was specifically designed to avoid trees and run around the base and resume mowing to continue in a line from where it avoided the tree. Unless there are above ground roots that it will get stuck on, you should be fine to not need to isolate each tree.
I`ll soon move to a house where there`s already layed down cables for a different robot (different brand). Can I use those or do I need to remove them and put down the included?
It should work. But cant be sure 🤷🏼♂️
Follow up question. I finished laying the wire for lawn (solid green light) but Landroid LCD display never turns on while it is on the charging stand (all pins are connected, the station is level, and the light is staying a solid green instead of flashing) . What am I doing wrong?
You have to turn the Landroid on by long pressing the power button
How to make Landroid cross the driveway and mow another side of the lawn? Certainly buying two Landroids for a lawn is expensive and I wanted to see if there is a way to solve my issue by using a Landroid L.
Hi Kevin, there are various ways you can probably solve this, but it depends on what the layout is like. If the mower can cross the driveway, it’s fairly easy as it can be set up as a second zone. However, you will need to wire it and so it will rely on you having a way to lay down the wire. Pavers and paths are easier as you can pass the wire between them. Otherwise you could purchase just the base unit and wire it up as a whole new lawn, but you would need to lift the mower and place it in the second section when needed. Our helpful customer service team will be happy to advise you if you want to get in contact via the website support form.
How close do the wires have to be to each other for the signal to cancel out if i want to create a no zone area? If the wires were approximately two inches apart would that also cancel out the signal?
Preferably closer. The wires need to be very close together, preferably almost touching. Hope this helps.
Hallo,
mich interessiert mal, wie der Worx landroid mit Spieltürmen (Schaukel und Rutsche) umgeht und diese problemlos drumherum mäht?
Hi, it deals with children's playground equipment by a) installing the ACS sensors, it will just slalom around it and carry on mowing or b) you can hard wire the area out of the mowing area by creating an exclusion zone when you set up the mower or c) bouncing off it and then learning where it is eventually (not ideal) or d) you can use the 'off limits' module which is also an add on, to create a section which is avoided by the mower but this is usually used for temporary areas like paddling pools or seasonal bulbs. The ACS module is probably the best option, it can use it to navigate even complex areas where there are many trees so it should work well for playground equipment. Hope this helps.
My yard is 0.77 Arces. So is the boundary enough for it or where can i bought extra? Also there is a slope in my yard. Is this works for that?
Another question: If i buy a WR147 is that gonna handle my 0.77 Arce yard? Can it finish the job in few day by automatically?
Hey Nice vid. What are the tringle exact dimensions? I can't find mine anymore.
Hi Adrien, glad you like it. it's 20 x 36 x 41 hope this helps!
Do I have to do the Bertelsen triangle at every corner of the house?
Hi no you don't, you don't have to use it at all if you don't want to - we find rounding the corners also just helps the mower to move smoothly. It's just about how tight the corners are and sometimes a bit of trial and error. It is recommended for a very tight corner or if you are very fussy about your edges and want to ensure full coverage. Good luck with your installation!
If I have a "no-go area" less than 1 meter from a boundary, what would be the solution to set it up?
The best would be to incorporate that into your layout if possible, so you permanently exclude it by wiring it off. But if this isn't practical (difficult to tell without seeing your layout) you could use the 'Off limits' kit. If you are unsure, do get in contact with our support team via the website or our Worx Landroid Fan club team are very helpful (and so are the members!).
just received ours - the instructions say the charger isnt to be put outside?? i cant put mine in a decent position with the short cable that comes with it - can i not extend the power supply cable and put the power supply in a waterproof housing?
Hi Andrew, the charging station is definitely installed outside. Yes absolutely you can extend the cable and put the power supply in a waterproof housing, this is recommended.
How close to irrigation pop-up sprinklers can you put the charging base? If there is no shade in your yard should you buy a Worx 'garage' to house mower in? (Summer here can reach 40+ degrees celsius)
Hi Cathy, it is all insulated to withstand rain but if you could, set it up about half a meter from them? A garage isn't totally necessary but it will protect the mower, especially from the colour fading.
App doesn’t work it’s frozen saying pending radio link activation. What do I do?
I hope you got in touch via our website, our Landroid support page, our Social Media or our Landroid Fan Club on Facebook. Our customer service number is 03452029679. The best advice is usually to simply delete the app and reinstall it or to update your software, or both. Hope this helps.
Hi. What is the alternative to the lollipop method, when something closer than 1 meter to the perimeter needs to be in an exclusion zone?
Hi Thorben, the options would be either to purchase the Off Limits module, which is also useful for other things like the boundary shortcut, or just to make it part of the boundary and have the wire go around it. Hope this helps.
How deep can I bury the cable if I want to bury it?
Hi Dante, don't bury it more than an inch or two as the wire does get pulled into the ground with the grass roots.
How much perimeter cable is included? I can't find this info anywhere?
Hello, it will depend on which model you purchase but the length ranges from 100m to 250m of wire. You can purchase additional wire if needed and more information is available on our website: uk.worx.com
Quick question: is there a way that I can force the mower to cut the edges through the app? I don’t mean via the schedule but more like a button I can press?
Hi Tom, it is usually via the schedule, either automatically or manually, when you can set it to mo & do the border that day - or you can just send your mower out to mower by pressing the play button & then immediately send it home by pressing home, it will cut the border on its way home. Hope this helps.
Worx Power Tools UK I’ve tried doing it by just sending it home immediately however when I do this it does ride over the edge but it isn’t mowing
There is a button for cutting edges. It’s needs to be in the station to start
Hello, I just bought a new Worx L2000 WR155E. Charging it right now - still no wire laid. Downloaded the app and tried to connect WIFI. Go through the guide in the app until I get to the actual connect push putton - which I of course can't click... It simply wont activate. Any advice on how I can move on with the connection and app?? To me it seems as an App flaw...
Hi Carsten, the Worx customer service team are available on 0345 202 979 to assist with any issues and give advice. Usually with the App, a simple re-install helps but please also check you have entered the same email address you registered the machine with as this is a security check.
Hello, I just bought a used Worx WR143E. Unfortunately the triangular template for positioning the wire in the corners was not with the robot. Would you be so kind as to tell me the dimensions of this triangle so that I can redo a template? Thanks in advance, Patrice.
Patrice Imbert Approximately 37 x 40 x 22 cm. Hope this helps.
@@WorxUK Thank's a lot 👍
Mine was missing the triangle and ruler. Not off to a great start
@@tdizzlegames2070 They were embedded in the lid of the box for mine. Maybe you didn't see it ;).
No these are cardboard and part of the box it came in. Check the box flap. You need to punch these out. I paid $1000 for my mower and I got a cardboard ruler and the triangle for making right hand turns. Come on Worx. Way to make people feel great about their purchase. I also bought the 'Garage' for my Landroid and it had no instructions in it. There are several drawings on the outside of the box that were faded and hard to see. That was $169 and i guess a page of instructions would have raised their cost? I haven't used my Landroid yet and I'm excited about it but spend today unboxing and setting it up and discovered the cardboard ruler and no instructions in the garage. Not the best way to make a good first impression.
Can worx lawnmower operated without boundary wire?
Hello, the new range of Landroid Vision mowers are able to operate without boundary wire. You can learn more here: uk.worx.com/landroid/vision-technology/
Landroid vision
I have a Worx Landroid M500 (WR141E) which came with a 2Ah battery.
Is it possible to use a Worx 4Ah battery with this mower?
Hi David, yes you can use any Worx Powershare battery with the Landroid. Hope this helps.
It's a pity that there are no LED lights on it so you can follow it at night
It’s better not to run it at night due to nocturnal creatures. In fact we have a safety feature that you can turn on on the App to prevent it going out at night. The new vision model however has a camera and is very safe for pets and other creatures, hence it has lights.
I have a build in alcove along my garden wall . The wall is 1M tall . The lawn runs to the edge of the wall .The size of the alcove is approx 1200mm wide BY 1200mm in depth BY 600mm in height . Is it possible house this mower discreetly in a built in garage in this alcove ?
Or can the base / (housing garage) ONLY be located straight along the boundary wire line as shown in the video ?
It should be possible to house your mower in the alcove as it only needs 80cm to run in, and can leave the docking station at an angle. However you may find it a little small. It is preferable to have a bit of space for it at the front and you also have the size of the charging plate to consider. But, the Landroid charging station is actually so discrete that you would hardly notice it in your lawn after a couple of weeks once the grass starts growing through the base. It really is hardly intrusive at all. It runs in from the side and requires no reversing unlike other mowers, so it is completely designed to leave the least impact on your lawn.
What if you have a side walk that you want it mow on both sides of?
It can travel over a sidewalk as long as it is not raised, so you can include the whole area as two zones with a narrow passage at one side. You will however have the wire running over it, and this will need to be very tightly pegged down so as not to be a trip hazard. Hope this helps.
How would this work in a front yard? Do you have a station in the back and front?
Greg Hicks if the mower can navigate around to the front, only one base is needed. If it can’t, yes you would need a second one. You can get them directly from Worx it from E-Bay. 03452029679.
@@WorxUK I am not able to find the base on Ebay or your website. Can you put a link in the comments?
@@lcdavis15 you might need to get in touch with Customer Services if it's not in stock on E-Bay at the moment. They are very helpful and sometimes have spares stock they can arrange for you. 03452029679. Here is the link to E-Bay but I can't see the stock at the moment. We have had some delays with stock due to the current situation. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/positecworx/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
What about inside corners,like where the sidewalk meets the driveway,do you have to curve it at the corner or can you just make a regular 90 degree corner?
Hi Dustin, a slight curve does work better. Hope this helps.
@@WorxUKwhy this is not mentioned in the guide or video? you guys imagine there are no corners like that or why...?
Hello. Can the Landroid roll over hard surfaces without damaging the blades or the Landroid? I’m planning on housing it in the garage. The garage floor is cement and the driveway leading up to the garage is also cement. Thank you.
Hi Jose, it can but you won't be able to bury the wire and this might cause an issue. It really doesn't need to be housed inside anywhere and the charging plate is pretty discrete once the grass grows. If you want to get advice from our technical team you can chat to them on the Worx Landroid Fan Club page (international) or via the website support.
I wish my box came with the ruler
Hi, sorry to hears yours didn't. It's contained on the lid, the same as the triangle, you just press or cut it out? But it's just either 10cm or 26cm which you can also just cut out of cardboard using a tape measure or just use a normal ruler. This would be much faster than a tape measure. A tip would be to mark the two lengths on the ruler with a bit of coloured tape so you can check really quickly. Hope this helps.
@@WorxUK The mower is expensive. How much would a plastic ruler and triangle cost? Having to punch it out of the box is ridiculous, not to mention that you do not mention that they are part of the box. Just shows they are included.
@@jckrell It's not about the cost it's about reducing plastic in the environment. These are singular use items only used during installation, and a ruler or tape measure is an item most people would already have access to. As a responsible manufacturer we are committed to reducing single use plastics and have almost eliminated these from our packaging.
Did you have any problems with the landroid runnning over and cutting the boundary wire? Mine cut the boundary wire 4 times within the first hour. But my lawn is not a flat as yours, I guess that’s why. This device does horrible on uneven terrain
Hi, sorry to hear that. It does need to have the wire pegged flat or you can bury that section if it is sticking up. It will be pulled into the grass within a couple of weeks and then you won't have that issue again. The Landroid will eventually make your lawn look a lot more even but there is a particular model which is designed for very uneven terrain. Contact the Worx Customer Service team on 0345 202 9679 for any further advice.
Need it in Thailand.
Seems like more trouble than it’s worth, why not just build one that has a camera and uses gps instead of having a tripping hazard with wires
Because people won’t pay for it. Others companies do. I use autonomous mowers with my mowing business and they run about 50k each
Well it not a tripping hazard if done properly and it get overgrown in a week or two where u can't even see it. As for camera and gps there are multiple versions on sale already
3 hours of work to save at least 30 hours a year should be worth it for you
You got to be kidding to do the pegs by hand😂
Why? I understand lazy people find it difficult, but others don't
This is disappointing. I was ready to buy this but there is no way I'm just going to have a wire laying on top of the yard. Can it be buried? My entire backyard is fenced. Can't it just use bumpers and sensors like a Roomba?
The wire will eventually become buried over time and embed into the lawn itself. We do have our new Landroid Vision mowers coming out soon with are boundary less and need no wires.
What if the cable isnt long enough?
If you mean the power cable, you can get an extension with a waterproof box. Hope this helps.
@@WorxUK How about the guide cable that we lay, can that be extended?
@@lopez8971 yes absolutely, there are rolls of wire available to purchase if you run out. It also comes with more than enough for your size of lawn and three connectors, but these are easily sourced at any DIY shop.
German ?
Hi Ralf, apologies this video was done by the UK team for the UK market. There are a number of other videos available in the EU. I will also ask my colleagues in Germany if they can do a version with subtitles.
Too much of work
Hope you like my way of making the installation easy, and at the same time making sure your cable gets down low into the ground from the very beginning.
th-cam.com/video/nvBsvAP04KQ/w-d-xo.html
Bought this thinking it would work sort of like a Roomba, power on and it starts working. Nope. This set up is tedious. Returning it tomorrow.
Hi Rasco, sorry you feel that way. The set up takes less than a couple of hours maximum depending on the size of your garden and saves so much time in the future. You literally never have to mow again. That is at least a couple of hours saved every single week, even more if you need to collect and drop off clippings (once we're able to again).
Nice Toy, but does not appear to cut any grass
It's not a toy, it's a really hard working, super intelligent machine that saves hours of work. It does cut the grass, just a small amount every day which then mulches the lawn. You may not see it but you will always see perfectly cut grass which gets healthier and healthier and keeps the weeds away.
it cuts my lawn (1/4 acre) wonderfully, stop trolling
By the time you set this up. I cut my lawn myself. With a mower.
Possibly, but can you do it every single day, day in and day out? Once it is set up you don't have to do anything again!
this is the stupidest comment ive read in awhile
What a dumb thing to say lmao
