Worx Landroid Installation Guide 

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.

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.

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.

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 Con, as long as they are flush they won't be a problem for the mower.

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.

Preferably closer. The wires need to be very close together, preferably almost touching. Hope this helps.

Hi Adrien, glad you like it. it's 20 x 36 x 41 hope this helps!

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.

You have to turn the Landroid on by long pressing the power button

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.

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.

Hi David, yes you can use any Worx Powershare battery with the Landroid. Hope this helps.

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...?

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.

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.

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.

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!

There are additional videos on troubleshooting.

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.

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?

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.

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!).

It should work. But cant be sure 🤷🏼‍♂️

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

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)

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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

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
