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 40% slopes or a passage that is narrower than
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.

The
Secondary area operating mode must be used as
the robotic lawnmower cannot travel on its own from the
secondary area to the charging station. See
mode - Start on page 37. 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 START button must be
pressed and the
Main area 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 40%. 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.
