START button must be pressed and the

operating mode selected before closing the hatch.
3.5.3.2 Passages when mowing
Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 1.5
- 2 m should be avoided. It is then a risk that the robotic
lawnmower travels around in the passage or area for a
period of time. The lawn will then look flattened.
3.5.3.3 Slopes
The robotic lawnmower can operate in slopes. The
maximum gradient is defined as percentage units (%)
and is calculated as difference in elevation in
centimetres for every metre.
The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants
less than 15%.
0-15%
0-15 cm / 0-6"
100 cm / 40"
The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope that
is steeper than 15%. There is a risk that the robotic
lawnmower will find it difficult to turn there. The robotic
lawnmower will then stop and the
Outside working area
fault message is displayed. The risk is at its greatest in
damp weather conditions, as the wheels can slip on the
wet grass.
15- %
>15 cm / >6"
100 cm / 40"
However, the boundary wire can be laid across a slope
steeper than 15% if there is an obstacle that the robotic
lawnmower is allowed to collide with, for example, a
fence or a dense hedge.
Inside the working area the robotic lawnmower can mow
areas which slope up to 25%. Areas that slope more
must be isolated with the boundary wire.
When a part of the working area’s outer edge slopes
more than 15%, the boundary wire must be laid about
20 cm in on the flat ground before the beginning of the
slope.

3.5.4 Laying the boundary wire
If you intend to staple down the boundary wire:
•
Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower
or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid. It will then
be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and the
risk of the robotic lawnmower cutting the wire or
damaging the insulation of the wire is reduced.
•
Make sure to lay the boundary wire close to the
ground and secure the pegs close together. The
cable must lie close to the ground so as not to be cut
before the grass roots have grown over it. Mowing
the grass too low right after the installation can
damage wire insulation. Damage to the insulation
may not cause disruptions until several weeks or
months later. To avoid this, always select the
maximum cutting height the first weeks after
installation and then lower the height one step at a
time every second week until the desired cutting
height has been reached.
