This manual provides essential information for the installation and operation of the Bosch Indego 350 and Indego 400 robotic mowers. Before starting, ensure the perimeter wire is correctly installed and the area is clear of obstacles.
Safety
Always switch off the mower using the isolator switch before performing maintenance, tool changes, or transport. Wear gardening gloves when working near the sharp blades. Do not use high-pressure washers or garden hoses to clean the machine.
Installation
The docking station must be positioned on the perimeter wire at an outer edge of the cutting area. Ensure the cutting area is even and free of ditches, grooves, and steep slopes (max 15°/27%). For the first few weeks, set the cutting height to 50 mm to avoid cutting the perimeter wire.
Operation
The mower can be operated in 'Manual' mode or via a programmed schedule. The 'SpotMow' feature is designed for small areas requiring special treatment. The mower is equipped with lift, rollover, tilt, and obstacle sensors to ensure safe operation.
Menu Navigation
The mower features a menu system for settings, including 'Mow now', 'Calendar' (with Bosch AUTO function), 'Settings' (Mowing mode, Security, Alarm), 'Info' (System status), 'Advanced' (Wire ID, Sensor settings, Factory reset), and 'Tools' (Level check, Wire signal).
Maintenance
Regularly clean the exterior with a soft brush and cloth. Turn the mower upside down to clean the blade area and swivel castors. Ensure all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight. Replace worn blades and bolts in sets.
Troubleshooting
If the LED on the docking station flashes, check the perimeter wire for breaks or incorrect length. If the mower fails to operate, check the isolator switch, battery charge, and potential clogs. For persistent issues, consult the Bosch Service Centre.
Technical Data
The Indego 350 and 400 models feature a 19 cm cutting width, 30-50 mm cutting height, and 18V Li-Ion battery. They are IPX4 rated.
