3.4 Charging the battery
When the charging station is connected, it is possible to
charge the robotic lawnmower. Set the main switch to
position
1.
Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station
while the boundary and guide wires are being laid.
If the battery is flat, it takes around 80 to 100 minutes to
fully charge it.
WARNING: Only charge the robotic lawnmower
using a charging station which is intended for it.
Incorrect use may result in electric shock,
overheating or leakage of corrosive liquid from
the battery. In the event of leakage of electrolyte
flush with water and seek medical help if it
comes in contact with the eyes etc.
Note: The robotic lawnmower cannot be used before the
installation is complete.
3.5 Boundary wire
The boundary wire can be installed in the following
ways:
•
Secure the wire to the ground with pegs.
Staple down the boundary wire if you want to make
adjustments to the boundary loop during the first few
weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will
have grown over the wire making it no longer visible.
Use a hammer/plastic mallet and pegs.
•
Bury the wire.
Bury the boundary wire if you want to dethatch or
aerate the lawn. If necessary, both methods can be
combined so one part of the boundary wire is
stapled down and the other is buried. The wire can
be buried for instance using an edge cutter or a
straight spade. Make sure to lay the boundary wire
at least 1 cm and a maximum of 20 cm in the
ground.
3.5.1 Plan where to lay the boundary wire
The boundary wire must be laid so that:
•
The wire forms a loop around the working area. Use
original boundary wire. It is specially designed to
resist dampness from the soil.
•
The robotic lawnmower is never more than 35 m
from the wire at any point in the working area.
•
The wire is no more than 800 m long.
•
About 20 cm of extra wire is available to which the
guide wire will be connected later. See
The illustration below shows how the boundary wire
must be laid around the working area and around
obstacles. Use the supplied measurement gauge to
obtain the correct distance. See
page 5.
10 cm / 4"
0 cm / 0"
35 cm / 14"
30 cm / 12"
3.5.2 Working area boundaries
Depending on what the working area is adjacent to, the
boundary wire must be laid at different distances from
obstacles.
If a high obstacle (5 cm or more), for example a wall or
fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire
should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent
the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle
and reduce body wear. About 20 cm of the lawn around
the fixed obstacle will not be mown.
35 cm / 14"
> 5 cm / 2 "
If the working area borders a small ditch, a flower bed or
a small elevation, for example a low kerbstone (1-5 cm),
the boundary wire should be laid 30 cm inside the
working area. This prevents the wheels from driving into
the ditch or up onto the kerbstone which might be lead
