Install the Charging Hub and the Owl antenna

Charging Hub positioning is important for GOMOW to work efficiently. The hub is where your GOMOW conducts its wireless charging while the battery is low, and where it rests between every mowing session. The Charging Hub and OWL antenna should be in an open wide space to get a strong signal from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System.) The antenna should have a clear sky view not under the trees or obstacles. Here is all the information to follow,

  • Install the charging hub on an even surface.
  • Try to place the hub in a shaded position.
  • Avoid places close to irrigation sprinklers and near the pool.

Manage Ordinary Maintenance

Wheels section

Grass debris tends to collect on the profile or between the wheels and housing. This prevents traction and generally, the device no longer runs as smoothly.

Grass clippings or leaves can easily be removed with a coarse brush, a stick or even some compressed air.

Top side of housing

This is where dust and dirt accumulate in particular. Just wipe away with a soft cloth.

Mowing deck area

Grass residue always collects on the underside of the robot. Damp grass, in particular, adheres well and clumps together when drying. It is particularly recommended to remove these before they have completely dried. A coarse brush or spatula is particularly suitable for this purpose.

Software Upgrade

You need to update your software from time to time. In Google and apple play store, there is a free software update available for all GOMOW automatic lawnmowers. We recommend updating your mower to the latest version. In addition to new functions, it contains further expansion for reliable functioning.

GOMOW Winter Maintenance Guide
  • Keep your grass a proper length for better protection during the cold weather.
  • Use a brush to remove the grass from the blade deck, the body, and the wheels.
  • Change the blades and screws on the disc.
  • Fully charge GOMOW, turn off the power, and store it indoors for winter.
  • Check the condition of the GOMOW parts. Contact your dealers for assistance if you need part replacement.
  • Unplug the main power supply of the charging hub.
  • Store the charging hub, just simply remove the induction loop plugs and loosen the floor anchors, so that you can relocate the station.
  • Store your automatic lawn mower and the charging hub indoors in a dry environment above freezing point.
  • In wire-free installations of an Exact Location control system(ELCS), we recommend placing the charging hub in the same location as before when you install it after storage. If you move the charging hub, you need to reset the position in the GOMOW Connect app.

Troubleshooting Guide

What if your GOMOW gets overheated?

GOMOW is specially designed not to get overheated. Our charging socket and battery location are put in such a way that no overheating of the mower. They both are placed a bit far away from each other hence thus reduces the chances of overheating. Also, it is designed in such a type so that overheating penetrates outside without damaging the inner parts of the mower with its water flow mechanism.

Why certain areas are not cut?

The mower's moving path depends on satellite positioning, occasionally inaccurate positioning may lead to missed cuts, and the missed area will be covered after a few more cuts.

  • If an obstacle is encountered during mowing, GOMOW will avoid the obstacle, which can result in certain areas not being cut. GOMOW have a systematic mowing pattern so every area will be covered after a few more runs there is no need to worry about it.
  • If the grass is higher than 15cm/5.91 inches, it is suggested that the users cut down grass height below 6cm/2.36 inches due to the main function of GOMOW is for law maintenance.
What if your GOMOW goes back to the charging hub more frequently without finishing the mowing task?

if you notice a decrease in the mowing time between charges, there are a couple of issues that could cause this.

  • the wheels or the blade disc may be clogged with grass clippings or dirt.
  • it could be an indicator that the battery’s capacity is impaired.

solution-

  • Remove and clean the blade disc and excess grass clippings from the wheels.
  • For the battery once its maximum charge capacity is below 70%,  won't hold a charge even if it is fully charged within 8 hours, then your battery is dead and you'll need to replace it.  

The battery is an expendable part that you can replace yourself without any problems.

Why can’t your GOMOW mow to the Edge?

The main problem is the distance between the blades and the mower’s body. for that, blades do not reach right up to the edge of the mower. Our GOMOW follows safety distance, which is a particularly large distance between the mowing unit and the outer body to avoid possible injuries that could occur if the mower runs over someone’s feet, or small pets for example. The independent and automatic operation of the GOMOW makes this particularly large safety distance necessary. you can also find the lawn edger tool on our website.

What if there is a problem with the mower entering the charging hub?

This may happen rarely to you, there is some instruction you need to follow

  • Flatten ground – you need to make sure the charging hub is installed on smooth, flat ground, not on any uphill or slop. The surface level meter is used for whether the surface is vertical or horizontal to get more accurate results.
  • Clean wheel – sometimes mud, dirt or leaves are stuck to the mower’s front wheel, which raises the front of the mower and prevents it from entering the hub. Clean the front wheel and make sure it is free from any kind of dirt.
  • Free space – If the charging hub is placed too close to the corner of the lawn or on a curved line, Move the hub and place it in more wide open space so that the mower can easily come and go. Make sure the charging hub is placed with some free space around it and not on a curve.

Mostly this kind of problem can be solved with some reworking. In the worst-case scenario, if there might be something wrong with the device itself, and in that case, you will send it back to our service center for a check-up.

Can your mower create stripes in the lawn?

It is not possible for most automatic lawnmowers. Stripes are created by the rollers on the back of mowers. Robotic mowers don’t have rollers and don’t cut in parallel lines except for mowers which use the GPS RTK system like our GOMOW, but will give the appearance of stripes but it will be short-lived as there is no roller.

Most robotic mowers mow in a random pattern. Suppose they set off in a straight but when they hit an obstacle they turn in a random direction and set off again.

What if GOMOW runs at an unscheduled time?

If your GOMOW isn’t running at the times you’ve set it to then there could be a couple of reasons. Check with the GOMOW app whether the mowing scheduled time may have been set incorrectly. For that, it needs to be reset correctly. Please go to the user Manual guide to resolve this issue.

Is it harmful to mow wet grass?

Yes, mowing on wet grass can obstruct your mower and tear down the look of your lawn. It's best to wait for wet grass to dry before mowing.

There are many reasons why you should not mow the lawn when it's wet, which are,

  • The mower can get jammed because of this and also cutting wet grass can dull the blade more quickly
  • The resulting uneven look would be bad enough, but when you try to cut damp grass the result is a tear rather than a clean cut.
  • The disease spreads quickly when the grass is wet. So when you mow a wet lawn, you're creating a perfect reason for fungal infestations.
Can children or pets play in the yard when the mower is working?

GOMOW has a Floating bumper with built-in sensors to reduce impact from an encountering objective and also the blade will automatically stop if the mower is lifted, turned over or touched by someone. The distance between the outer body and the blade tip is also extra-long to avoid feet or hands from accidentally reaching the blades. A bladed disc with side shields and the front fence is a friendly design for the user and small animals. Even so, it is advisable not to let your children or pets play unattended in the yard while your mower is mowing.
