Installation
Preliminary Remarks
Maximum Covering suggested
We must check the maximum Sm suggested for each model, also on the base
of the installed batteries. However it is a good rule not to exaggerate and
keep in mind that on more complicated gardens, with different separated
areas the Sm covered by the robot are reduced.
Maximum slope: 27°
This is the maximum slope achieved by the robot.
Remember that the main problem is the slope because when the robot
reaches the cable it is not able to come back. In order to improve the
performance of the robot, it is useful to set the spiked wheels on the machine
if possible.
Before starting the installation we suggest you to have a test on a slide. In the
user’s menu, set out the option Border “NO”, set the robot on a slide, let it
feel a bump on the body and test that it doesn’t slide while reversing or
changing direction.
Secondary Areas Management.
The robot manages the main area and three secondary areas as well
(according to models). With “secondary area” we mean a part of the garden
connected to the main one thanks to a narrow passage and which can hardly
be reached by chance. Saying if the passage is large or narrow for the robot
depends on the primary area dimension.
Recharge of the robot
First of all put the robot in charge. At the end of the installation, it will be
useful in order to test the correct operating.
Arranging the garden
It is necessary to inform the customer about how to prepare the garden
before the installation. The most common problems are small holes, small
toys, stones, or all the objects that the robot can not recognize as an obstacle
and that consequently might pass under the covering and be hit by the blade.
Watering System
Pay attention to the watering system! It is necessary to understand where the
irrigators are and place the recharging base in a safe part of the garden, far
from the irrigator that might wet the robot and especially the display side.
Recharging Base
It is maybe the most difficult decision to
take. The recharging base must be
positioned according to some exact rules.
The recharging base must be positioned
on a:
-
Plan area
-
Firm ground
-
In the widest area (if there is a
big difference of square meters)
Better but not compulsory.
-
Not nearby an irrigator
-
Before the recharging base
there must be 2 mt of straight perimeter cable
-
Not nearby an electric gate because of interferences
The recharging base must be well fixed to the ground and it is
necessary to pay attention to the entrance step. There must not
be any step. The problem can be solved by clearing away the
grass surface or by putting an artificial grass mat in front of the
recharging base, which makes easier for the robot to enter the
station.
Transformer
The Transformer must be placed according to the following rules:
