Base station
The base station is connected to the electri-
cal power supply (transformer) using the low-
voltage cable (6).
The base station generates a control signal
and sends this in the boundary cable.
There are two charging contacts on the base
station which contact the charging contacts
(10-1) on the Robolinho (10-2) as soon as it
moves into the base station.
The [HOME key] (1-9) is located on the base
station. Pressing this key causes the Ro-
bolinho 4000 to terminate its current activity

for the day, and it returns automatically to the
base station.
Setting up the base station
1 Place the base station (4-2) in a shady lo-
cation in the garden on smooth level ground
where it will be protected against the rain (5).
Then use lawn pegs (4-1) to secure it in place.
Comply with the specified dimensions when
doing this (12-3).
Boundary cable
The boundary cable is secured with lawn pegs. If
the supplied boundary cable is not large enough
for your lawn, you can obtain an extension ca-
ble from your AL-KO dealer, technician or service
partner.
Remove the 10 mm of insulation from the
boundary cable (6-2) and connect it to one
side (6-1) of the base station. Then continue
to lay the cable as shown (12), complying with
the specified distances.
To avoid damage when mowing, make sure
that the boundary cable is in direct contact
with the ground at all points when you are lay-
ing it.
If there are places where the boundary cable
is not in direct contact with the ground, secure
these with an additional lawn peg
WARNING!
Damage to the boundary cable!
Do not scarify the lawn in the area on eit-
her side of where the boundary cable is
laid.
Spare loops of cable
You should incorporate spare loops of cable
(12-1) at regular intervals in order to allow the
base station to be repositioned or the mowing
area to be extended even after the mowing area
28
has been laid out. To do this, guide the boundary
cable around a lawn peg, return to the previous
lawn peg, then continue as shown, securing with
another lawn peg.
Select the number of spare cable loops ac-
cording to your own judgement.
Laying options
The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn (8-1)
and as much as 10 cm under the turf (8-2). Have
your dealer carry out the laying under the turf on
your behalf.
If necessary, you can also combine both me-
thods.
Laying the cable around obstacles
When laying the cable around obstacles, maintain
the distances shown in the illustration (12).
If there is a distance of 0 cm between the cables, it
is possible for the cable to be driven over. In most
cases, the best solution.
When the distance is at least 30 cm, the
Robolinho interprets the distance as a path and
moves around the obstacle.
When laying the boundary cable in walkways
(12-4), it is necessary to maintain the minimum
distances from obstacles and the minimum pas-
sage width specified in the illustration (12), other-
wise the Robolinho will not be able to operate cor-
rectly.
Crossovers in the boundary cable lead
to malfunctions because the inside and
outside parts are swapped over.
Connecting the boundary cable to the base
station
1 Remove the insulation from the boundary ca-
ble (6-2) after laying the cable and connect to
the spring terminals.
Connecting the low-voltage cables to the
transformer
1 Unscrew the screws with a screwdriver (6-3)
and connect the low-voltage cables to the
transformer (6-5).
The cables can be connected are requi-
red, there is no need to observe a parti-
cular polarity.
2 Insert the mains plug of the transformer into
the mains socket (6-4).
