8.2 Connect the boundary wire (11) to the charg-
ing station (10)
m NOTE:
The boundary wire (11) must be laid at least one
metre long, straight, without corners and obstacles
in front of the charging station (10). This ensures
the mower is able to drive into the charging station
properly (10) (Fig. 3).
• The boundary wire (11) must be laid at least 30 cm
away from boundaries, such as the house wall,
ahead of and after the charging station (10). (Fig.
3)
• Strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from one end of
the boundary wire (11) (Fig. 4).
• Insert the stripped boundary wire (11) into the red
"OUT" cable clamp on the back of the charging sta-
tion (10). Then pass the boundary wire (11) through
the slot under the charging station (10) (Fig. 5).
• Then lay the boundary wire (11) as described in
point 8.3 "Laying the boundary wire (11)".
m NOTE:
The boundary wire (11) must be laid at least 100
cm straight in front of the charging station (10).
• After laying the boundary wire (11), trim off the ex-
cess wire.
• To connect the second end of the boundary wire
(11), strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from the end
and insert it into the black "IN" cable clamp.
8.3 Laying the boundary wire (11) (Fig. 1/2)
The boundary wire (11) must be laid as a loop around
the working area. When the robot mower (1) ap-
proaches, sensors inside the product detect the
boundary wire (11). The mower changes direction at
a random angle when it reaches the boundary wire
(11).
If the mower needs to return to the charging station
(10), it searches for / drives to the boundary wire (11)
and then turns to the left.
It then travels along the boundary wire (11) back to the
charging station (10).
8.3.1 General notes / boundary cable installation
m ATTENTION:
To avoid damage to the product there must be
an obstacle of min. 15 cm height between the
boundary wire (11) and water bodies/slopes/em-
bankments and/or public roads.
m ATTENTION:
Do not operate the mower on gravel/stones.
28 | GB
m NOTE:
Define and make a sketch of the working area before
starting to lay the boundary wire (11).
m NOTE:
The max. permissible length for the boundary wire (11)
is 300 m.
• The distance from the boundary wire (11) to the out-
er edge must be 30 cm (Fig. 6).
• A distance of 8 cm between the boundary wire (11) is
sufficient if all of the following apply (Fig. 7):
- the boundary surface can be driven over (e.g.
footpath, driveway or similar).
- the boundary surface is at the same level as the
mowing surface.
- there are no protruding or pointed parts on the
boundary surface that can come into contact with
the mower or blades and damage them.
- there are no plants on the boundary area that
should not be mown.
• The boundary wire (11) can be buried, or fastened in
place using the wire pegs (12) provided.
• When laying the boundary wire (11), the angle in cor-
ners must always be >90° (see Fig. 8+9).
• The robot mower (1) finds areas/passages that taper
or that have a width of ≥ 0.8 m (Fig. 10).
• The minimum width of the mowing area is 0.8 m
(Fig. 10).
• The maximum possible gradient is 35% (20°).
m Attention
To prevent accidents and/or damage to persons or
the product, it is prohibited to operate the product on
steeper terrain.
You can see how to determine the slope in Fig. 11.
m NOTE:
For the demarcation of slopes/embankments, see
point 8.3.3.
m ATTENTION!
If you intend to use a scarifier within the working
area of the robotic mower, the boundary wire (11)
must be buried.
8.3.1.1 Burying the boundary wire (11)
• When burying the boundary wire (11), make a nar-
row groove in the grass turf using a spade or sim-
ilar. Then place the wire in the groove and cover it
with soil.
m IMPORTANT:
To ensure trouble-free operation, the boundary
wire (11) may be covered with max. 3 cm of earth.
• After covering the boundary wire (11) with soil, it is
sufficient to compact the loose soil with your body
weight.
