Before you can start mowing with your robotic lawnmower, you have to prepare the lawn
initially, find a proper place for your charging station and set up the perimeter wire to
define the borders of the mowing area.
Lawn preparation
Before operating the robotic lawnmower, ensure that the mowing area is free of pets, kids
or objects. Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, wire, cables from the lawn. Make sure
that the lawn height is 65 mm or less, our recommendation is 50 mm. If the height is more
than that, cut the lawn to a height of 50 using a traditional lawnmower. Mow the area
where you intend to lay the perimeter wire (see chapter “Perimeter wire layout”) to the
lowest setting you have with your conventional mower.
Charging station placement and connection
Find the best place for your charging station, where your robotic lawnmower will return to
get charged.
1. Take the robotic lawnmower from the charging station and place the charging station
on level ground on the mowing area edge.
Make sure:
-
That you have a straight 1.5 m track in front and 1m on back of the charging
station.
-
That the base stands firmly on the ground and does not bend.
-
Not to put the charging station in confined spaces.
-
That you have minimum 1.0 m of free space perpendicular to the charging station.
-
That the next power socket is within 9 meters.
-
That the charging station is not placed in direct sunlight, if possible.
-
Arrow with mark ,,IN“ on charging base need to point in mowing area.
It is recommended to place the charging station in the corner of your lawn and as close to
the power supply as possible. The total length of the power cable is 9 m.
Please note: Your robotic lawnmower can only automatically return to the charging station
counter-clockwise.
Please note: When your robotic lawnmower receives direct sunlight for a prolonged period
of time the battery can get too hot and not function correctly.
