3. INSTALLATION
Boundaries within the working area
Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the
working area by creating islands around obstacles
that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower
beds and fountains.
Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example,
trees or bushes higher than 15 cm, do not need to be
demarcated by the boundary wire. R40Li will turn
when it collides with this type of obstacle.
To achieve careful and silent operation, it is
recommended to isolate all fixed objects in and
around the working area.
Run the cable out to the area, route it around the area
to be demarcated and then back along the same
route. If staples are used, the wire should be laid
under the same staple on the return route. When the
boundary wire to and from the island are close
together, the mower can drive over the wire.
The boundary wire may not be crossed on its way to
and from an island.
Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or
large trees with raised roots, must be isolated with an
island or removed. R40Li can otherwise slide up onto
this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be
damaged.
Secondary areas
If the working area consists of two areas which the
mower 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 150 cm. Run the boundary wire then around the
secondary area so that it forms an island outside of the
main area.
The R40Li must be moved manually between the
main and secondary area when the lawn in the
secondary area has to be cut. The
MAN operation
mode must be used as the lawn mower cannot travel
on its own from the secondary area to the charging
station. See
5.1 Operation selection on page 37. In
this mode, the R40Li will never look for the charging
station but will mow until the battery runs out. When
the battery is flat, the mower will stop and the ‘
Needs
manual charging ’ message will appear in the display.
Then place the mower in the charging station to
charge the battery. If the main working area has to be
cut after charging, it is appropriate to switch the
operation mode to Auto before placing the mower in
the charging station.
Passages when mowing
Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than
1.5 - 2 metres should be avoided. When the R40Li
mows there is a risk that it travels around in the
passage or area for a period of time. The lawn will then
look flattened.
