\boldsymbol { \Theta } Assemble the Station
1. Place the Station on an open and flat lawn with no slope or rock. Ensure that there are no objects (e.g. trees, balls or houses) within 2 m on left and right, and 2 m in front of the Station.
2. If you want to remotely control your ECOVACS GOAT, put the Station as close as possible to a place with strong Wi-Fi signal.
3. Make sure that the grass around the Station is no longer than 10 cm. Overgrown grass may affect the recharging.
4. Insert the Pile into the Base Until you hear a "click".
5. Fix the Station to the ground in the selected area with Pegs, using the Allen key.
6. Connect the Station Plug to the power supply and ensure the blue light is on.
Note: Please ensure the power adapter is positioned 30 cm above the ground to prevent water and moisture damage.
Please plug the device into an indoor outlet or an outdoor waterproof outlet.
\bullet Charging the ECOVACS GOAT
Fully charge the ECOVACS GOAT before first use. Place it in the charging station and ensure the white indicator light is steady or flashing, indicating successful charging.
1 Before mapping, the following tips need to be noted:
- Make sure the ECOVACS GOAT is powered on.
- If the ECOVACS GOAT is stopped, tap START --> OK button on the ECOVACS GOAT.
- If the ECOVACS GOAT is locked, please enter PIN code.
1. Choose the appropriate mapping mode for your yard.
For lawns with drop-offs greater than 4 cm or narrow paths less than 1 meters, it is recommended to select Manual Mapping. Otherwise, use the default Automatic Mapping.
2. Connect the ECOVACS GOAT
With Bluetooth connection, your phone will connect to the ECOVACS GOAT automatically.
3. Find a starting point
Find a proper starting point along the edge of your lawn. Keep within 6 m from the ECOVACS GOAT during the mapping process.
4. Start mapping
If the station is on the lawn, simply tap Start Mapping to start mapping.
If the base station is not on the lawn, control the ECOVACS GOAT to move to the lawn boundary, then start Mapping.
Note: To ensure successful recharging, it's recommended to keep the base station within 3 meters of the lawn, and no more than 10 meters away.
Let ECOVACS GOAT start from the Station and follow ECOVACS GOAT within 6 m. If the height difference is more than 4 cm, please keep your ECOVACS GOAT at least 10 cm from the edge of the lawn.
Make sure to follow a straight line with a smooth turning angle of no smaller than 90°.
5. Switch mapping mode
During the mapping process, you can switch between automated and manual mapping in the app interface.
6. Finish mapping
After tracing the perimeter of the lawn, close the loop at the starting point to complete the boundary.
7. Set up A No-Entry Zone
To protect your ECOVACS GOAT, please set up No Entry Zones for objects you want to protect, such as a flowerbed, a trampoline and a vegetable plot.
Follow the instructions in the App. Control your ECOVACS GOAT to the the starting point of the No-Entry Zone. The minimum supported single side length of the restricted area should be more than 0.5m.
Note: It is recommended to keep ECOVACS GOAT 25 cm away from the boundaries of extremely dangerous areas such as a pond or cliff.8. Create a New Area
- Start from the station/within the map, and remotely control the ECOVACS GOAT to the new area to be created.
- Mapping the new area based on the regional environment.
9. Create a Path
- The path is intended to connect two separate areas or to connect the edge of a lawn to the charging station.
- The ECOVACS GOAT can automatically generate a path when starting from inside one path and reaching another path.
- Please ensure that the passable width of the path for the ECOVACS GOAT is greater than 1 meter.
4.1 How Your ECOVACS GOAT Works
The following part will help you know how your ECOVACS GOAT works.
1 Mowing mode
You can switch modes on your ECOVACS GOAT or via the App.
2 Schedule
You may set your mowing schedule on the ECOVACS HOME App. Supporting two schedules, ECOVACS GOAT enables you to set and switch based on different seasons.
\circledcirc Cutting height
ECOVACS GOAT is a smart robot for maintaining your lawn well. Before starting, make sure that the grass is no longer than 10 cm. If longer, cut the grass roughly with a manual lawnECOVACS GOAT. Then your ECOVACS GOAT will keep the grass nicely clipped within a height of 9 cm.
\textcircled { \circ } Programmed cutting
With programmed cutting, your ECOVACS GOAT mows along an S-shaped path to achieve maximum efficiency.
\pmb { \Theta } Auto recharging
When the battery is low, your ECOVACS GOAT will pause the task autonomously and go back to the Station to charge itself. When charged and ready to work, your ECOVACS GOAT will resume the unfinished mowing task of the day.
\odot Rain sensor
With waterproof level of IPX6, your ECOVACS GOAT will be very pleased to stay outside. However, mowing under heavy rain will not bring out the best result. Your ECOVACS GOAT, equipped with the Rain Sensor, will pause mowing and return to the Station automatically when a certain amount of rainwater is detected. When the rain stops, ECOVACS GOAT will automatically resume the mowing task. It is recommended to mow in dry weather for the best mowing result. You also can inactivate it on your ECOVACS GOAT or via the App to mow on rainy days.
\textcircled{7} Rain delay time
The lawn may still be wet after the rain stops. For a better mowing result, your ECOVACS GOAT will resume mowing 3 hours after the Rain Sensor detects that the rain has stopped by default. You can change the rain delay time via the App.
\pmb { \Theta } Animal protection
With the aim to protect nocturnal animals, ECOVACS GOAT will stop mowing at night.
You also can inactivate it on your ECOVACS GOAT or via the App to mow at night.
\pmb { \Theta } Smart obstacle avoidance
Equipped with 3D-ToF LiDAR, your ECOVACS GOAT can detect objects and avoid them in advance. The height of obstacles to be avoided can be set in your ECOVACS HOME App. Moreover, some obstacles can precisely be avoided by Al recognition.
No need for disposal of grass clippings
Daily mowing with your ECOVACS GOAT leaves short clippings, which will be scattered evenly on the lawn as the best fertilizer.
Safety and PIN code protection
The PIN code you set for your ECOVACS GOAT at the first startup is used to prevent being stolen and operated by children. if it locked, you can unlock it by entering PIN code.
Note:
After five incorrect attempts, wait 30 minutes before retrying.
You may change the PIN code on the App.
