CAUTION: The robotic lawnmower must never

run over gravel, mulch or similar material which

can damage the blades.

CAUTION: If the working area is adjacent to

water bodies, slopes, precipices or a public

road, the boundary wire must be supplemented

with an edging or the like. It must then be at

least 15 cm in height. This will prevent the

robotic lawnmower from ending up outside the

working area under any circumstance.

min. 15 cm / 6"

3.5.3 Boundaries within the working area

Use the boundary wire to isolate areas inside the

working area by creating islands around obstacles which

cannot withstand a collision, for example flowerbeds,

bushes and fountains. Lay the wire up to and around the

area to be isolated, and then return it back along the

same route. If pegs are used, the wire should be laid

under the same pegs on the return route. When the

boundary wires to and from the island are laid close

together, the robotic lawnmower can drive over the wire.

0 cm / 0"

CAUTION: The boundary wire may not be

crossed on its way to and from an island.

Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example,

trees or bushes taller than 15 cm, do not need to be

isolated with the boundary wire. The robotic lawnmower

will turn around when it collides with this type of

obstacle.
However, to achieve careful and silent operation, it is

recommended to isolate all fixed objects in and around

the working area.
Obstacles that slope slightly, for example stones or large

trees with raised roots, must be isolated or removed.

Otherwise the robotic lawnmower can slide up onto this

kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged.

3.5.3.1 Secondary areas
If the working area consists of two areas which the

robotic lawnmower has difficulty travelling between, it is

recommended to set up a secondary area. Instances of

this are 25% slopes or a passage that is narrower than

90 (R70Li, R80Li: 60) cm. Lay the boundary wire then

around the secondary area so that it forms an island

outside of the main area. The robotic lawnmower must

be moved manually between the main and secondary

area when the lawn in the secondary area has to be cut.

Secondary
area

Main area

The 

MAN operating mode must be used as the robotic

lawnmower cannot travel on its own from the secondary

area to the charging station. See 

Operation selection on

page 34. In this mode, the robotic lawnmower will

never look for the charging station but will mow until the

battery runs out. When the battery is flat, the robotic

lawnmower will stop and the 

Needs manual charging

message will appear in the display. Place the robotic

lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery.

If the main area has to be cut straight after charging, the
