Installation
Prepare the materials:
• Take boundary wiring, wire joints, pegs and the 2 scale cartons
from the box
• Further you will need: hammer, plier, spanner/socket wrench
Prepare the lawn:
The grass should not be higher than 60 mm when pegging the
boundary wire. If it is higher, it is recommended to mow the lawn
with an ordinary lawn mower first. Then the wire can be laid
as close as possible to the ground, which will prevent the robot
mower from cutting the cable and people from stumbling over it.
After a short while, the cable will disappear into the turf.
Lay the boundary wire:
Place the robot’s docking station as indicated on your sketch (side-
wise) and insert the start peg. Take care that you reserve 0.5 m ex-
tra wire to be used for the final installation of the docking station.
Lay your wiring loosely round the working area in the garden
according to your sketch. Then you can easily adjust it as you
proceed.
Now you can start inserting the pegs. Use your scale cartons to
keep the desired distance to the edge (10 – 30 cm depending on
the nature of the edge as described under “Planning”).
The distance between the pegs must be max. 1 m. We recom-
mend that the pegs are placed closer to each other in the corners,
which shall always be more than 100°.
If there are areas in your lawn where you do not want your robot
to mow, you encircle the area with boundary wire as indicated on
page 4.
Note:
max. 5 mm between in- and outgoing boundary wire (see
drawing page 4).
Insert your final peg when you are back at the docking station.
Connect the boundary wire to the docking
station:
Cut the end of the wire to a length appropriate to reach the
clamps (too much extra wire may cause signal problems). Strip
the two ends of the wire.
When you connect the wire to the docking station there is an
IN-wire and an OUT-wire as indicated. The IN-wire is threaded
through the wireholder under the docking station and must be
connected to the red clamp on the left side of the wireholder,
whereas the OUT-wire must be connected to the black clamp
above the wireholder.
You can now fix the docking station to the ground by screwing
the 4 safety plugs from the box into the ground.

1. IN (red) - from under the docking station
(end of wire).
2. OUT (black) - to the lawn (start of wire).
After connecting IN and OUT wire, put the
protecting cover on.
