Installation Guide
This chapter explains how to install the Robotic Mower. Please read this fully before you start the
installation.
Before you begin
We recommend creating a sketch of the lawned area you plan to mow on paper before you begin
installation. Make sure you include all obstacles, such as bushes, flower beds, and paving. This
will give you a visual representation of how to correctly place the boundary wire around your
garden perimeter. Make sure you have a hammer, wire cutters, pliers or scissors to hand.
Avoiding Obstacles
The Robotic Mower is equipped with ultrasonic sensors. These will detect any rigid and fixed
obstacles higher than 100mm, such as walls, fences, and garden furniture. When triggered, the
Robotic Mower will stop, reverse backwards and then continue mowing in a different direction.
Make sure you lay the boundary wire correctly to ensure the machine avoids obstacles.
Trees
The Robotic Mower treats trees as common obstacles, however if the tree roots are exposed and
lower than 100mm they will need to be excluded from the mowing area with the boundary wire.
This is to avoid damaging the root, blades, or rear wheels.
Stones
We recommend clearing the lawn of small (less than 100mm high) rocks and stones and any
stones with a round or sloped edge. The Robotic Mower might try and climb such rocks instead
of recognising them as a barrier. A Robotic Mower getting stuck on such a stone requires user
intervention to restart mowing. Contact with stones can result in damage to the blades.
Slopes
The Robotic Mower can navigate slopes up to a maximum of 30% incline or decline.

Paths, Driveways and Roads
If you have an elevated driveway or walk way which crosses through your lawn, you will need to
exclude this from the cutting area. Remember to allow a safety distance of 20-30cm between the
elevated area and the boundary wire.
