VBRM16 OcuMow® will cut in a random pattern for up to 4 hours* which covers lawns up to 150m².
*Additional batteries can extend running time (sold separately). Battery duration depends on lawn conditions.

VBRM16 OcuMow® works best with visually distinctive borders. If your lawn has edges that are not visually distinctive, for example:

1) borders which may have grass-like low growing plants
2) borders which have many weeds growing in them
3) mossy or weedy gravel or wood chippings
4) paths which have grass or weeds growing through gaps

The mower may mistake these areas for lawn and try to mow in these areas. Try to ensure that paths and borders are free from weeds and have a clear contrast or raised edge.

This happens when VBRM16 OcuMow® is unable to detect grass.

If the lawn is brown or patchy, the camera may not recognise it as grass.

Move the mower to an area where grass is clearly present.

The grass is cut using three small sharp blades and the clippings are returned to the lawn surface where the nutrients contained in them fertilise the soil.

This means stronger, healthier grass with less need for supplemental fertiliser, and has the added bonus of helping the lawn retain water in dry periods. It also means there is no grass clippings to dispose of or compost.

Provided that the mower is used regularly, the grass clippings are not visible to the eye.

Yes, VBRM16 OcuMow® is supplied with one detachable MX 24V lithium-ion battery.

Every MX 24V battery is fully compatible with the LawnMaster MX 24V cordless range, including lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, grass trimmers and leaf blowers.

Choose from cutting heights of between 20mm and 60mm for a neat looking lawn by adjusting the dial on the top of
VBRM16 OcuMow®.

For best performance and to encourage healthy lawn growth use 60mm for longer grass and after regular mowing, gradually reduce the cutting height to your desired length.

It is possible to use VBRM16 OcuMow® on lawns with a pond, however it is strongly recommended that the pond is surrounded by a raised barrier to safeguard against the mower falling in.

We recommend either a raised edge or a paved/gravel border at least 75cm wide surrounding the pond.

Water damaged mowers are not covered under guarantee.

This could be due to the battery being empty, or could be due to low light levels meaning the mower's camera could not detect the lawn.

Try charging the battery and putting VBRM16 OcuMow® out again the next day.

VBRM16 OcuMow® cuts in a randomised pattern and will take up to 4 hours to cover 95% of a 150m2 lawn.

This 4 hour running time is based on the mower removing only a small amount of grass at a time. If the lawn is long and the cutting height has been set low, the battery will run down quicker.

For best results, choose a higher cutting height and gradually reduce it. This will result in a more gradual cut but will be less noticable to the eye, and also maximise the cutting duration.

Larger lawns will take longer to cut and may remain patchy for longer, as the robot takes longer to cover all areas. On larger lawns the robot may need to be put out more often to for best coverage.

Check the blades are not worn and replace them when they are dull.

VBRM16 OcuMow® navigates the lawn using a camera, and will stop approximately 20cm away from the edge of the lawn for safety reasons.

Depending on the angle the mower approaches the edge of the lawn, it may get slightly closer than this.

To tidy the edges, a grass trimmer (not supplied) is required.

LawnMaster MX 24V Grass Trimmers are compatible with VBRM16 OcuMow® and can be purchased without a battery, allowing you to fit the mower battery to the trimmer.

No, VBRM16 OcuMow® is not compatible with No-Go magnetic strip.

VBRM16 OcuMow® works with our MX 24V 4.0Ah battery.

The mower will cover 150m² on a single charge.

Lawn coverage can be increased with additional batteries (sold separately).

Unlike traditional robots VBRM16 OcuMow® is designed to Drop and Mow.

The mower is designed to be placed on the lawn once or twice a week and will mow for up to 4 hours on a single charge covering 150m2.

The mower should be stored away in a dry place between uses.
