Clean and inspect the blades and wheels weekly. (It will be better to do it after every operation). Find certified dealers to handle and maintain if you have any further problems.

 

• Why does it take longer time for the indicator to show blue sometimes?

 

NEXMOW M1 needs to connect to the LTE network to complete the systemboot-up. Once the system is ready, the indicator will show blue. The power key under the battery cover will light up if the power is on.

 

• Why does NEXMOW M1 stop but the indicator still show green?

 

Could be 2 reasons: 1. RTK signal is too bad to navigate, M1 will wait for signal getting better. 2. The grass could be too thick for cutting deck, the motor is under protective mode. It will resume once the motor recovery done.

 

• Why does NEXMOW M1 skip some areas during mowing?

 

Could be 3 reasons: 1. The path planning was set to mow the area later. 2. Ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles in this area. It will skip now and mow this area later. 3. RTK signal is not good in this area at now, will skip now and mow this area later

 

• Why does the joystick not connect to NEXMOW even only one NEXMOW robot nearby?

 

The M1 might still connect to another joystick as last time. Please reboot M1 and joystick, then they shall connect to each other.

 

• Why does NEXMOW M1 stop for a while after turning around to start a mowing task?

 

The M1 will download the optimized path from the cloud once start the mowing task. Usually, it might take 3-5 minutes. The bigger the working area, the longer the waiting time for downloading.

 

• What will NEXMOW M1 do when obstacles are detected?

 

Once M1 detects obstacles, it will stop and play warning notice for a while. If the obstacle is not leaving, M1 will repeat that mowing pace once and check again. if the obstacle is still not leaving, M1 will skip that area (about 2.5m).

 

• If the anti-theft function is triggered accidentally, what shall I do?

 

Please check if it's a theft event or a fake theft event first. To turn off the anti-theft notice, the user needs to check the ongoing task in APP. Then, end the mowing task to turn off the theft event.

 

• Why does ultrasonic not work?

 

The ultrasonic will not work in a very short path (small area) or the path close to the virtual boundary (<1.5m). This is to prevent fake alarms nearby the virtual boundary.

 

• Why does NEXMOW M1 report MP2 error after the mowing task is completed?

 

After the mowing task is completed, the cutting deck will return to the initial height. If there are some clippings stuck in the cutting deck, MP2 error will be sent via APP. Just turn off the M1 and clean the clippings. 

 

• Why is real mowing time different from estimated mowing time?

 

There are many unexpected conditions that happen during mowing tasks, which will increase the mowing time accordingly. Therefore, there will be some difference between real mowing time and estimated mowing time.

 

• Why does NEXMOW M1 OTA upgrade fail?

 

NEXMOW M1 OTA upgrade needs a stable connection for data downloading. Please find a place with a good LTE network to do the OTA upgrade. 

 

• Why does NEXMOW M1 have some mis-cutting areas?

 

There might be several reasons that impact the cutting performance: 1. thick grass or long grass. 2. bumpy ground 3. slope is big 4. blades need to be changed

 

• Why can't I start an eCrew mowing task after I select multiple NEXMOW M1s?

 

Each M1 shall keep a 5-meter distance next to the adjacent M1.

 

• Why do all NEXMOW M1s not return to Homebase after task completed/raining warning/low battery?

 

All M1s need to be ready to return to Homebase while all M1s tasks are completed, raining warning triggered, and low battery.

 

• Why do NEXMOW M1 change the previous path after resuming an eCrew mowing task?

 

When the user selected multiple M1s for a working area, the path will be calculated and assigned to each M1. When resuming a mowing task, the path will be also rearranged for each M1.

 

• Why do I receive the task completed notice while NEXMOW M1s still mowing during eCrew mode?

 

When doing eCrew mode in the same working area, each M1 will send notice while its mowing task is completed. Therefore, it might not complete at the same time due to different conditions.

 

• Why do NEXMOW M1s not back to Homebase during eCrew mode?

 

When doing eCrew mode in the same working area, each M1 will wait for all M1s tasks completed, then return to Homebase together. When rain sensor trigger, M1s will follow same methodology to return to Homebse together.

 

• Why do NEXMOW M1s not all back to the Homebase location during eCrew mode?

 

To prevent M1s collision at Homebase area, each M1 will have 1.5-meter distance to other adjacent M1s. Therefore, it might stop nearby Homebase location.
