Positioning of internal docking station 

and installation of perimeter wire

   

This quick guide should only be 

   

used in combination with the instruction

  

  manual for your mowing robot.

1.

  Before installation draw a sketch of the garden.

2.

  Install the docking station in a suitable location and charge the iMOW® in it.

3.

  Wake up the iMOW® by pressing the "OK" button and follow the instructions as 

  far as "Install wire".

4.

  Install the perimeter wire. Use the iMOW® Ruler and the corridor template to 

  establish the clearances.

5.

  Continue the installation with "Connect wire" and follow the instructions to the end.

Preparatory installation measures:
•  Cut mowing area to ≤ 6 cm using a conventional lawn mower.
•  Mowing areas must not overlap. Minimum clearance ≥ 1 m between the perimeter wires.
•  Maximum distance between iMOW® robotic mower and perimeter wire: 17 m.
•  Set iMOW® cutting height. Recommendation: Cutting level 4.
•  The removal of interference sources such as metals is recommended.

Correct installation of wire connectors:
Insert loose, unstripped wire ends to the stop 
in the wire connector. Press the wire connector 
together using suitable pliers – ensure correct 
engagement.

Installing the perimeter wire:
Install the perimeter wire (1) above ground at 
regular intervals and fasten using fi xing pins (2). 
Use additional fi xing pins on uneven ground. 
Install wire without crossover.

12.3

Accessory AKM 100 for small gardens: 
For perimeter wire lengths ≤ 80 m.

9.9

Docking station position:
•  Shady, protected, level
•  Clearance to no-go area: ≥ 2 m
•  Socket with overvoltage protection
  is recommended.

The STIHL iMOW® robotic mowers 

comply with all applicable safety 

standards.
Nevertheless, the iMOW® robotic 
mower is not a toy. During the iMOW® 
robotic mower's active times, in 
particular children, bystanders and 
animals must be kept out of the working 
area.
