The entry points can be used to specify which ar-
eas of the mowing area are to be mowed several
times.
4.3
Preparing the mowing areas
1. Check that the grass surface is larger than
the area covered by the appliance. If the
grass surface is too large, an irregularly
mown lawn will result. Reduce the size of the
grass surface to be mowed if necessary.
2. Before installation of the charging station and
boundary cable or start-up of the appliance:
Use a lawn mower to mow the grass surface
to a low cutting height.
3. Remove any obstacles on the grass surface
or exclude them with the boundary cable (see
chapter 4.5.3 "Excluding obstacles",
page 48):
■
Flat obstacles that will be run over and
could damage the cutting blade (e.g. flat
stones, transitions from the grass surface
to the terrace or paths, plates, kerb-
stones, etc.)
■
Holes and protrusions in the grass sur-
face (e.g. molehills, burrowing holes, pine
cones, fallen fruit, etc.)
■
Steep ascents and descents of more
than 45 % (24°)
■
Bodies of water (e.g. ponds, streams,
swimming pools, etc.) and their demarca-
tion to the grass surface
■
Shrubs and hedges that can become
broader
NOTE
Exclusions are only necessary if they
cannot be detected by the bump sensors
of the appliance. Avoid too many or un-
necessary exclusions.
4.4
Setting up the charging station (03/a)
1. Place the charging station (01/1) at right an-
gles to the planned location of the boundary
cable as described below:
■
Level (check with spirit level)
■
Straight and level entrance and exit
■
Not arched (the charging pole must not
bend or tilt during subsequent tightening
of the grass screws)
■
When placed on a wall: a distance of at
least 5 cm
2. Fix the charging station (03/2) to the floor
with five grass screws (03/1).

Installing the boundary cable
NOTE
If the supplied boundary cable is too
short, an extension cable can be ob-
tained from your Kärcher dealer, techni-
cian or service partner.
4.5.1
Connecting the boundary cable to the
charging station (03/b)
1. Pull the boundary cable (03/4) out of the
packaging.
2. Remove the cover of the cable shaft (03/3)
on the connection (03/A).
3. Insulate the end of the boundary cable (03/6)
and insert into the terminal (03/7).
4. Close the terminal.
5. Lead the boundary cable through the strain
relief (03/5) out of the cable shaft with cable
reserve.
NOTE
The cable reserve allows smaller correc-
tions to be carried out on the cable guide
later.
6. Place the cover on the cable shaft.
4.5.2
Routing the boundary cable (01)
The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn and
as much as 10 cm under the turf. Laying under
the turf can be carried out by the dealer.
Both variants can be combined with one another.
