1.10 Slopes
As a general rule of thumb, any slope that can safely be cut using a walk behind mower can also be cut
using the Robomow in the automatic mode. The maximum slope limit is
15 degrees , the same as a
traditional walk behind mower. Bear in mind that a 15-degree slope, though it may not sound very steep, is
in fact a relatively steep slope. In cases where it is attempted to operate the Robomow on a slope that is
too severe, normally the front of the machine will try to rise from the ground surface slightly when climbing
the slope vertically. The lift sensor will then activate, shutting the blades down for safety. The mower will
drop back into position and may attempt the maneuver again. In any event, a slope that causes the front
of the mower to raise from the ground while climbing is too steep and should not be included as part of the
cutting area. In some cases, this area can be cut manually with the Robomow, using the manual
controller. Insure that you can maintain a sure and safe footing before attempting to cut a slope area in
manual. If you are unsure as to whether a slope is too steep or not, attempt driving the Robomow manually
up the slope. If the front of the mower does not lift from the ground, the slope is fine to include in the cutting
area. If however it does lift, exclude this section from the cutting area.
1.11 Completing The Perimeter Wire Setup – Docking Zone
Once the perimeter wire is completed and pegged to the ground, the last step to complete is
attaching the perimeter wire ends to the docking board and testing the setup.
Properly installed perimeters wire will have two loose wire ends located where the perimeter wire
set up was started, the wire end from the start of the perimeter installation and the wire end from
finishing the perimeter installation. See Figure 1.16.
Use the same peg to fasten these two perimeter wire ends down to the ground and twist them as
shown in figure 1.16.
Cut the two loose perimeter wires so they are of equal length (Minimum length of 8 inches/20cm) -
removing any excess wire.
Strip back ¼ inch (6 mm) of insulation from each wire end. See figure 1.16.
Thread the two wire ends through the center aperture in the base and insert each perimeter wire
into hole of connector using a small flat screwdriver, tighten these two screws to secure the
perimeter wires into the connector. See figure 1.17.
Severe injury can occur. When attempting to mow sloped
areas that are too steep for automatic operation of the
Robomow, insure that you can maintain a safe and sure
footing before attempting to mow. Cut across slopes for
safety. Always wear appropriate closed toe shoes when
operating the Robomow manually.
