trash. The battery must be collected, recycled, or disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner. Return the old power pack to an approved
battery recycler.
9.4 Splicing the Perimeter Wire
If the Perimeter Wire needs to be spliced: Use the connectors supplied in
Robomow’s box. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection.

Before slicing the Primeter Wire
disconnect
Power
Box from plug socket.
P
Strip 1 cm (0.5 inch) of each wire end together
P
Twist the stripped ends together using pliers.
P
Insert the twisted wires into the splicing connector.
P
Screw the wire connector on the twisted wires; make sure it is tight.
IMPORTANT
Neither
Twisted cables,
nor
a screw terminal insulated
with insulation tape are a satisfactory splice.
Soil moisture will cause such conductors to oxidize and which later leads to
a broken circuit.
