Explanation
- Bumper pressed during warm up. - Bumper pressed for 2 sec during manual mowing. - A D.K calibration is required (only in the first operation) - The charger is connected but not charging, usually happens upon initiating charging (there is no power from the power supply) - The charger is connected but not charging (Probably faulty Main Board). - Connect charger (displayed when the mower isnt operated and connected to the charger). - Appears during the D.K calibration and indicates that the coils on the electronic compass are probably disconnected. - The front wheel is not touching the ground for too long. - There is a problem with Drop-off board. - An internal problem associated with the front bumper has occurred. - Front or rear bumper is constantly pressed. - Child guard set to 'on' - Press the scroll upper arrow and then C to enable mowing. - One of the keys on the manual controller is pressed continuously upon reset. - Drive motors have faced over-current for too long. - For some reason the Robomower had stopped and user assessment is required. - Wire synchronization failed. (Very rare. Customer will have to press GO if this appears) - When activating motors under 'Diagnostics' but 'mowing' is set 'off' - Anti theft set to 'on' - Insert safety password to enable mowing. - Mowing motors have faced over-current for too long or some obstacle is stuck or wrapped around the blades. - The Robomower cannot detect a signal from the Perimeter Wire. - One of the odometers is not reading a signal from the magnets on the drive motor. - Mowing motors have faced overheating - the mower stops for cooling.
- Drive motors have faced overheating - the mower stops for cooling. - The Robomower does not complete edge acquisition in 2 minutes. - Bumper event while the mower is exiting from the Docking Station. - Bumper as the mower leaves the edge for scanning. - Bumper as starting the turn for obstacle bypass during edge. - Battery Is fully charged, the mower is ready to the next operation - keep charging the battery. - The Robomower battery needs recharging. - The Robomower battery reaches 19V under load. - There is a problem with the compass readings due to a distortion in the local magnetic field (during DK Calibration or as pressing the 'GO' button). - GEO location is not set - Displayed when the time set for the operation is reached. - The Robomower is too close to the perimeter wire or on the wire itself. - There is a reading problem while pressing the 'GO' button. - The Robomower will stop after about an hour or 800 meters, if the customer for some reason did not stop it while learning edge. (Maximum distance reached)

Gear Case/ Frame Modification Two versions of the gear frame are found in the field in the part numbers listed above. One version utilizes a ground clearance-limiting riser molded as part of the frame, while the other does not. SPP004B and SPP0015A will have the riser removed when received as a spare part. Included with these two parts is a Ground Clearance Limiter, part # GEN0202A. When using the gear frame version with the riser removed on units with the larger knobby/treaded wheels, it is also necessary to install the limiter (GEN0202A) to allow for proper clearance between the larger knobby/treaded wheels and the cowling. See Figure below. When using the frame where the riser is intact on units with knobby/treaded wheels, no additional procedure is required and the limiter (GEN0202A) is not needed.
Ground clearance limiting riser molded to gear frame. They may be removed if necessary for slick wheel unit use.
On gear frames where the riser is removed, assemble the limiter on the upper left tab of the ground clearance adjustment tabs to block the lowest ground clearance position when using knobby/treaded wheels.
When replacing the Gear Case on all S/N units, follow the instructions below: 1. Remove the faulty Gear (Thermistors cable can be cut to relieve the removal of the Gear). IMPORTANT - do not drill the pop rivet of the Thermistors inside the Robomower, as the metal pieces may cause to short in the electronics). 2. Remove the right mowing motor shield 3. Assemble the new Gear with the mowing motor shield (see Rgure 1 below). 4. Use the Ground Clearance Limiter only if necessary, as explained in the first page. 5. Connect the Thermistors cable to the Main Board (only S/N IRL03... and onwards). With a serial number beginning IRLOO.../IRL01.../IRL02... leave the connector disconnected as a future.

Wire Sensors/Cable (SPP0018A) A new wire sensor assembly is introduced for 2003. All four wire sensors and the harness are included as one assembly. Use this part for service on all units. When servicing the sensors or sensor harness on units with S/N IRL02340100 and below only spare part SPP0018A is provided. On these units, the right rear sensor board (Figure 1) must be removed from the support tower and placed in the right rear corner well of the base, as shown in Figure 2. Leave the black and white wires connected to the sensor board. All other sensor parts and wires are removed and discarded. Install part SPP0018A to complete the repair.
Figure 1 Note: Confirm the top side of the the sensor is place as shown in Figure 3.

RL Top Cover (GEN0094A) Water Drain Changes A modified top cover is introduced for 2003 to accommodate changes in the water drain routing. This modification will not be included on the supplied spare part GEN0094A. RL Top Cover spare part (GEN0094A) is received as shown in Figurel. If you are servicing a Robomower with a S/N IRL02340100 and below use the Top Cover as received without modifications.. If the S/N is IRL03000000 and after, follow the modifying instructions below: 1. Cut an opening in the plastic as shown in Figure 2, to allow for water drainage. 2. Notice that the opening is done on the circular side of the extension.

Front Wheel Detent Change A new front wheel detent is introduced for 2003. If the S/N is IRL03000000 and after, use the new Front Wheel detent (GEN0207A) with two Front Wheel detent springs (GEN0208A) as shown in Figure 2 below. If you are servicing a Robomower with a S/N IRL02340100 and below, use part number GEN0118A, front wheel detent spring, as shown in Figure 1 below.

A new blade motor, part number (MSB0065B) is introduced for 2003. The wire harness at the motor end is now soldered to the terminals for better rigidity. When replacing the blade motor on all S/N units it will be necessary to remove the cowling first in order to disconnect the motor wires from the main board. Then remove from the blade motor from the base with special tool TOL0001A. See Figure 1. IMPORTANT - It is also necessary to remove the metal motor shield from the original motor and place it on the new motor before installation. See Figure 2. Inventory of the MSB0065A, which does not have soldered leads, may be used on IRL02340100 and below units until depleted and does not require removal of the cowling.

Resolution Make sure the 'C' batteries inside are good. Test it with new ones. Replace perimeter switch. (UNT0007B). If there are watermarks or water inside the perimeter switch, check with customer how and where was the perimeter switch mounted. It could be mounted and left outside, but it got to be mounted vertically! If it wasn't mounted vertically and got water penetration, it isn't covered by warranty! The customer should purchase a new one.

Put the battery pack in the mower and place an object under the mower, between the rear wheels, so they will be able to rotate without touching the ground. The front wheel needs to remain solidly on the ground. Try to drive the mower manually and see the rear wheel behavior, which one is stuck or not moving. Get to 'Service key', insert password 12321, press green button twice and scroll down to 'Drive motors'. Green button to activate and another to confirm. This will result in a 'Passed' or 'Failed' message. When it fails, it will also give an error number, which will look like this: Failed # 201. This is only an example and error # 201 is for Left motor disconnected. Faults error list - see chapter 7. Press C and you will be back to 'Drive motors' test. If you press the green button 3 times now, you will do an advanced test, which will show the raw odometers reading on each drive motor. The top line of the display will show the MSR - measured RPM of both drive motors and the bottom display line will show PWM - the current needed to get to this RPM on each drive motor. These raw reading numbers can tell us a lot about the drive motors. Can the mower equalize their speed? The MSR numbers will be identical. Is there a different friction on one drive motor and gears? The PWM will show it and be higher on the side the friction is larger. 00 or no reading at all on any of the advanced diagnostics display usually means the main board is faulty. Open the mower and inspect drive motors pinion, gears, tabs and wires. Make sure none of the wires is disconnected. Replace drive motor if pinion is melted/damaged. (SPP0008B). Replace drive motor cables id broken or darkened by heat. (WSB0063A). Replace main board if diagnostics showed it is faulty. (SPP0021 A). In case you have replaced the main board the following setting need to be done through 'Service' menu: 1. Learn wire sensors inside an active loop of wire. (See 5.21) 2. Set country to USA. 3. DK calibration (In some occasions, twice). 4. Edge calibration (Could be done anywhere, even in an unwired area).

wheel spline and squirt generously. The lubricant will penetrate to the gear case and lubricate the gear bushing which makes the noise. In case it doesn't help, open the mower and squirt directly on the plastic gears base/bushing. (White plastic part). Do not lubricate the gear teeth at all. It isn't needed. In case the rear wheels sound is more of a clicking nature, rotate each wheel and see if you can feel gear teeth are missing/broken. Open the mower and replace the gear case. (SPP0004B). The gear case will come with drive and mowing motor Thermistors attached to a cable that can connect only to a new version main board, but can work with an old version main board without connecting to it. Thread the wires through the white wire holders towards the front of the mower in a way that will prevent the wires getting close to the gears or drive pinion. Replace the right mowing motor shield with the one that is attached to the Thermistors cable. In the future, in case a main board will be replaced on this mower with a new version one which is compatible with the Thermistors, the Thermistors cable would be connected to it.

5.18. Wire crossing in automatic mode: Wire sensors or main board issues
Problem Mower crosses the wire in Edge or Scan mode. Resolution Position the mower inside an active plot (inside the perimeter wire loop, with the perimeter switch turned on, a few feet from the wire). Test wire sensors through Diagnostics/wire sensors. If it fails look up the failure code at the Error faults table. (Chapter 7). Diagnose again at Diagnostics/wire sensors/advanced. If one wire sensor reading is around zero or significantly lower than the others, open the mower and play with this wire sensor connector. If the reading gets as high as the rest of them, the contact is bad/corroded. Replace wire sensors: The spare part is all four of them connected to one harness. (SPP0018A). Perform Learn wire sensors inside an active wired area and Edge calibration through Service key 12321 and Diagnostics menu. The rear right wire sensor, which serves as a rear bumper connector as well, should be left in the mower, attached to the rear bumper wires. The best place to put it is at the hollow corner of the gray mower base at the rear right area. If the low wire sensor reading doesn't improve while playing with the contacts or replacing the wire sensors, replace main board. (SPP0021 A). In case you have replaced the main board the following setting need to be done through 'Service' menu: o Leam wire sensors inside an active loop of wire. (See 5.21) o Set country to USA. o DK calibration (In some occasions, twice). o Edge calibration (Could be done anywhere, even in an unwired area). In rare cases you may find the wire sensor itself is faulty. In this case replace all four wire sensors with a new one. (SPP0018A). In case you have replaced the wire sensors the following setting need to be done through 'Service' menu: o Leam wire sensors inside an active loop of wire. (See 5.21) o Edge calibration (Could be done anywhere, even in an unwired area).

Resolution Make surer GEO location is set on USA. Retry on smoother surfaces on the lawn or even on a sidewalk. This has nothing to do with the perimeter wire and could be done anywhere. Suspect a faulty main board (compass) only after trying to perform DK calibration many times in different locations. Diagnose the compass through 'Diagnostics/Direction keeper. Perform the test a few times in different directions, since it is a sensitive one. Many times it will fail on error #530 but will pass the test in a different direction. Once it passes the test, it is a good compass. If it keeps failing, replace main board. (SPP0021A). After replacing main board, you will need to do the following: o Learn wire sensors inside an active loop of wire. (See 5.21) o Set GEO location to USA. o DK calibration. o Edge calibration (Could be done anywhere, even in an unwired area).

Resolution Position the mower inside an active plot (inside the perimeter wire loop, with the perimeter switch turned on, a few feet from the wire). Get to 'Service key' and insert password 12321. Green button to confirm. In Diagnostics, scroll to 'Learn wire sensors' and perform it. When done it will say 'Was X now Y' meaning 'Learn wire sensors' happened. Press the green button again (Very important!) in order to finish the process. Put the manual controller back into the mower and operate it automatically. If you just replaced a main board on this mower, you need to set GEO location and do another DK calibration prior to being able to work in automatic mode. If 'Learn wire sensors' didn't help, replace main board, (SPP0021 A). In case you have replaced the main board the following setting need to be done through 'Service' menu: o Leam wire sensors inside an active loop of wire. o Set country to USA. o DK calibration (In some occasions, twice). o Edge calibration (Could be done anywhere, even in an unwired area).

remove the corrosion. Test front wheel sensor again. It should say 'On the ground' when not lifted. In case this doesn't cure the problem, open the mower and replace front wheel drop-off board. (SPP0005A). If this doesn't help, replace main board. (SPP0021 A). In case you have replaced the main board the following setting need to be done through 'Service' menu: o Learn wire sensors inside an active loop of wire.

Resolution Squeeze the appropriate pressed bumper and try to see if it is just a case of mower stored with the bumper pressed against an obstacle, which may temporary cure the rubber in dented way pressing it all the time. (Check with the customer if this is the case). If this doesn't cure it - replace the faulty bumper. Rear bumper (MSB0107A). Front bumper (MSM0106A).

4.12. Put the power pack back into the mower and make sure it wakes up. 5. Typical technical problems and their solution 5.1. Mower doesn't respond: Low voltage power pack and other reasons
Problem The RoboMower doesn't respond to power pack insertion or charger plug. Sometimes it will make "clicking" noise and sometimes the display shows flickering dark squares. Power pack voltage is below 13 volts. (Below 1-4 VDC, power pack may be beyond revival). Resolution Check power pack fuse. Replace it if blown. (30 amp, green automotive fuse). (FUS0003A). Find out why power pack voltage is so low: Was charging neglected? Is the charger ok? Was the power pack left in the mower while not charging? Does it usually display 'Ready' at the end of the charging? Get to Bat. Maintenance menu through Service/password/Bat. Maintenance and check whether charging has been neglected: See what the 'Last voltage' was, how many times were 'Warning ignored' and how many times 'Poor storage' occurred. All indicate neglecting the charging. Charge the power pack externally using a fast external charger. (MRK0011B). If you do not have a fast external charger, recharge the power pack with a regular car battery charger, at 12 VDC overnight, at no more than 3 amps. Then insert the power pack to the mower, which should now wake up - audio and display wise. Try to charge regularly at the mower. The right hand power pack connector (when facing you) is the positive (+) one. A regular car battery charger charges up to 13 VDC. If power pack cannot be revived, replace it. (UNT0009A) Tech tips: power pack voltage levels: 25-27 VDC is fully charged. 22-23 VDC is when it displays 'Recharge Battery' message. Below 13 VDC the mower will not wake up or recognize the charger. A good power supply plug voltage outcome is 38-42 VDC. Below 32 VDC - power supply is faulty. In rare cases, inserting the power pack lights up the operation light but there is no display on the manual controller. This could indicate a faulty manual controller. Try to swap it with a new one and see if it works. Replace if needed (MSB00114A). If mower doesn't respond and power pack and manual controller are fine, check and replace at this order: Main fuse (FUS0012A), Connectors board (ESBC021C), Main board (SPP0021A). In case you have replaced the main board the following setting need to be done through 'Service' menu: 1. Learn wire sensors inside an active loop of wire. (See 5.18) 2. Set country to USA. 3. DK calibration (In some occasions, twice). 4. Edge calibration (Could be done anywhere, even in an unwired area).

Get to 'Service' menu, insert password 12321, green button twice and scroll down to 'Drive motors'. Green button to activate and another to confirm. This will test the drive motors and result in a 'Passed' or 'Failed' message. When it fails, it will also give an error number, which will look like this: Failed # 201. This is only an example and error #201 is for Left motor disconnected. For Faults error list - see chapter 7. The 'Advanced' drive diagnostics is disabled on 2003 units and will not show any numbers at the MSR or PWM lines. Ignore it - it doesn't mean anything is faulty. Open the mower and inspect drive motors pinion, gears, tabs and wires. Make sure none of the wires is disconnected. Replace drive motor if pinion is melted/damaged. (SPP0008B). Replace drive motor cables if broken or darkened by heat. (WSB0063A). Replace main board if diagnostics indicated no reading from one or both odometers and odometers and their wires prove to be ok. (SPP0019A). (Use the brain from the old board). In case you have replaced the main board the following setting need to be done through 'Service' menu: 1. Learn wire sensors inside an active loop of wire. (See 5.18) 2. Set country to USA. 3. DK calibration (In some occasions, twice). 4. Edge calibration (Could be done anywhere, even in an unwired area).

If the test fails, it will give you an error number. Check the error number meaning on the fault error table and do what it suggests. Test again by pressing C and re initiating the test. Open the mower and replace the wire sensors with harness. (SPP0018A). Perform Learn wire sensors and Edge calibration if you replaced the wire sensors. If this didn't help, replace main board.

Use soapy water or silicone-based lubricant at the bumper inserts (black trapeze shape rubber inserts, inserted into the holes in the gray plastic base of the unit). Disconnect the bumper tabs. (See video clip on Dealer CD for replacement demonstration). Peel off the bumper side from the gray plastic base and push down on the bumper while supporting the mower on the bench with your other hand. The trapeze shape rubber inserts will pop out. No tool is needed for this process. Lubricate the new bumper trapeze shaped inserts prior to installing it back to the mower. Rear bumper (MSB0107A). Front bumper (MSM0106A)
