When initially placing the pegs, do not drive them fully into the ground. Use a light hammer to drive
them in a little bit. Also locate the fixing pegs and lay each one on the lawn at approximately the
correct distance from lawn edges (20-30cm) and obstacles.
Flowerbeds
Use the boundary wire to exclude any flowerbeds from the cutting area. There are two options for
the two lengths of boundary wire running between the flowerbed and the outer boundary:
1) Keep the distance between the parallel wires above 10cm. This way, the Robotic Mower will
recognise the boundary wire as an ordinary obstacle. When cutting, it will "bounce" off it as
expected. When following the boundary wire back to the docking station, it will take the detour
around the flower bed.
> 10 cm
2) Alternatively, keep the distance between the two parallel wires below 5mm. Do not cross the
wires -
see below
. This way, the Robotic Mower will not recognise the wires and travel across
them unhindered. This option requires placing an obstacle on the boundary wire around the
flowerbed. Place the obstacle, e. g. a large rock or pole, near
position A
indicated on the below
illustration. The obstacle must be surrounded by a flat area of about 1m x 1m, without any slopes.
This obstacle will allow the machine to exit the circle.
< 5 mm
Ponds and Pools
While the Robotic Mower is protected against rain and spray water, being submerged is likely to
cause severe damage to the electronic parts.
Therefore, it is imperative to exclude any open water sources from the cutting area. For added
safety, we recommend placing a fence around any water.
Boundary Corridors
If you have created a boundary corridor inside your working area, the corridor should be at least 2
m wide and a max length of 8 m.
If a corridor is too narrow or too long, the Robotic Mower might not be able to navigate it from one
end to the other.
Connect the docking station to the boundary wire
Run the boundary wire underneath the front of the docking station and connect the end of the
wire to the left (black) connector marked 'F' (front). After you have placed the wire around the
garden then place the other end into right (red) connector marked "B" (back).
