11 Installing the Perimeter Wire
If the wires are separated, however, the iMow will not
traverse the wire and the area between the two segments
of perimeter wire will not be mowed.
► After routing the perimeter wire back to the edge, do not
cross the sections of the perimeter wire. Continue the
installation around the perimeter of the mowing area. The
perimeter wire must exit the restricted area in the direction
opposite to the direction in which it entered the restricted
NOTICE
STIHL recommends checking the proper installation of
restricted areas using the "Test edge" command,
11.7 Installing Linked Areas and Secondary Areas
Linked areas (B) and secondary areas (C) are parts of the
mowing area that are not located in the primary mowing
area (A) where the docking station (1) is located.
A secondary area is an area that iMow cannot physically
drive to. It cannot be mowed automatically. The robotic
mower must be picked up and carried to the secondary area
and brought back to the primary area when mowing is
complete.
Linked areas (B) can only be mowed automatically if they
are linked by corridors or linking sections.
► Route the perimeter wire (2) in the same direction in all
linked areas and secondary areas.
► Connect the linked areas to the primary mowing area by
installing corridors (
11.8) or linking
sections (
11.10). Never cross perimeter wires in the
linking areas. Keep them parallel.
► Activate secondary areas in the "Settings – Installation"
menu,
11.8 Installing Corridors
A corridor joins a linked area to the primary mowing area,
e.g. a mowing area in front of and behind the house. This
allows both mowing areas to be mowed automatically.
In corridors, the lawn is only mowed along the path of the
perimeter wire. In order for the iMow to mow the linked area,
a starting point in the linked area must be defined,
The wire spacing and the STIHL Corridor Pattern are
matched to the installation of the perimeter wire on the lawn
surface. If the perimeter wire is buried very deeply, e.g.
under stone paving, the dimensions differ. Check the
function and adjust the wire installation if necessary.
In corridors, the lawn is only mowed along the path of the
perimeter wire.
To install a corridor:
► Remove stones, pieces of metal, glass, wire or other
objects that could be thrown or flung by the cutting
attachment.
► Keep a minimum clearance between obstacles higher
than 0.4 in. (1 cm) of a = 34.6 in. (88 cm).
