Installing the peripheral wire: marking boundaries
Marking boundaries within the mowing area
When you have large trees or a garden shed
in the mowing area, it is not particularly nec-
essary to mark boundaries for these, but de-
pending on certain conditions, the Bigmow is
able to detect them with its sonar and change
direction when it comes into contact with the
obstacle.
No tree roots should be above ground. The
tree must have a diameter of at least 2 inches
and be rigid for the Bigmow to manuever
around it.
For sheds, please ensure that the structure is
solid and that there are low obstacles under 6
inches in height.
For any other boundaries within the mowing
area, there are two different methods: either
by marking the area as an isolated patch with
the peripheral wire, or by setting up obstacles,
such as small posts or a border of at least 16
inches in height. Sloped obstacles (stones,
roots, etc.) should also be protected or re-
moved. It is advisable to protect hazardous
areas (such as ponds) to avoid any problems.
When marking areas to be isolated be sure to
run the peripheral wire around the entire
area. Use the same furrow for the return wir-
ing.
When marking the boundary of the mowing
area, you need to be aware that there can be
interference caused by metallic objects (metal
fencing, metal bedplate, waste or reinforced
concrete). The peripheral wire must therefore
be installed at least 12 inches away from
these objects. If the BigMow always stops un-
expectedly in the same spot, there may be
interference caused by a metal object. The
display will show an alarm as though the pe-
ripheral wire had been cut (loss of signal). Re-
moving the metal object will resolve this is-
sue. If not, please see the “Troubleshooting”
section.
The peripheral wire should ideally be buried at
a depth of 1 to 2 inches. Ideally, the periph-
eral wire should not cross any electrical instal-
lation, so as to avoid any interference with the
signal.
