LawnMaster OcuMow® DM16-150 Advance has 3 modes to choose from: Border+ Parallel, Parallel, and Random Plus.

Border+ Parallel completes a perimeter cut first, then begins a parallel mowing pattern automatically. When the mower has completed a pass of the lawn mowing in one direction, it will change orientation and begin mowing in the opposite direction in order to cover as much of the lawn as possible. Obstacles and borders will be detected as edges and the mower will not go around them. Therefore this mode is better for simpler lawn layouts.

Parallel begins a parallel pattern working across the lawn from left to right. When the mower reaches the right side of the lawn, it will turn and complete a pass from left to right in the opposite direction. Again, obstacles and borders will be detected as edges and the mower will not go around them. This mode is also best for simpler lawn layouts, and gives you full control over where you start the mower.

Random Plus mows in a specialised random pattern developed for maximum coverage of the lawn. In this mode, the mower is more likely to cover areas behind obstacles, making it most suitable for lawns with fixed garden ornaments and furniture.

Turn on the mower and wait for all lights to stop flashing and become stable. Hold buttons 2 and 4 (Parallel mode and ON) until the mower beeps twice and the unlock indicator turns red.

LawnMaster OcuMow® DM16-150 Advance will leave a small amount of grass uncut at the edge of the lawn. The mower will only mow in areas it identifies as grass. When it approaches an edge it will stop a short distance away. This is for safety and to prevent the mower leaving the lawn. 
To keep the edges neat, a grass trimmer should be used once or twice a month, depending how fast the grass is growing. OcuMow® DM16-150 Advance uses an MX 24V battery which is compatible with all our LawnMaster cordless 24V grass trimmers.

If the lawn is larger than 150m2 (the recommended area for one battery charge) you can help DM16-150 Advance pick up where it left off. After recharging the battery, you can place the mower to the left of the uncut area and use Parallel Mode. The mower will begin a parallel pattern right where you place it.

OcuMow® DM16-150 Advance 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 the mower 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.

It is possible to use OcuMow® DM16-150 Advance on lawns with a pond, however it is strongly recommended that the pond is surrounded by a raised barrier at least 15cm high to safeguard against the mower falling in.

If a raised barrier is not possible, a paved/gravel border at least 75cm wide surrounding the pond, or continuous magnetic strip placed at least 30cm away from the edge can also be used. Ensure there are no gaps in the magnetic strip.

Water damaged mowers are not covered under guarantee.

Choose from cutting heights of between 20mm and 60mm for a neat looking lawn by adjusting the dial on the top of DM16-150 Advance.

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.
