“Separated Zones” type lawn consists of
two or more zones that are not connected.
Robomow cannot drive between these
zones.
If you answer
“yes”
to at least one of the
following questions, your lawn is of the
“Separated Zones” type.
U
Are parts of your lawn separated by
fences, sidewalks, or other objects
that Robomow cannot pass?
Or:
U
Are parts of your lawn separated by a gravel path or similar material
that may damage the mower’s blades?
Or:
U
Are zones of your lawns joined by a pass too narrow for Robomow to
drive through: less than 1.2 m (4 ft.) in width?
Or:
U
Are zones of your lawn situated at lower or higher level?
P
If any of the above descriptions fits your lawn, Robomow will be set to
work in Separate Zones
If
the pass is less than 1.2 m (4 ft.) wide, set the lawn zones as Separated Zones.
See next Section 1.3.
If
the pass is more than 5 m (16 ft.) wide, set the lawn as “Main Zone Only” type.
See previous Section 1.2.1 “Main Zone Only”.
Continue reading next Section (Separated Zones), as your lawn may be a combination of more than one type.
1.3 “Separated Zones” Type Lawn
If your lawn does
not
fit any of these descriptions, it is probably either a “Main Zone Only” or “Main Zone +Sub-
Zone” type. Skip to Section 1.4 – Determine Base Station Location.
P
A lawn may consist of up to 2 Separated Zones.
P
The mower must be carried or driven to this area manually.
P
Any of the 3 types can be in a combination of more than one type of lawn.
1.3.1 Types of Separated Zone setups
A separated zone that can be completely
mowed in a single operation.
P
If possible, the separated area may be
connected to the main area’s Perimeter Wire.

In that case, it will have to be connected to a
Perimeter Switch (optional accessory).
