10.3 Installing the Docking Station

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury during installation and operation,
read and follow the docking station safety precautions and
instructions in this manual, @ 6. To reduce the risk of eye
injury, always wear close-fitting protective eyewear when
installing the docking station and perimeter wire, @ 5.3.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install the
docking station's power supply at least one foot off the
ground and ensure that there is no risk that it may be
immersed in water or other liquids. Do not place the power
supply on the ground or at ground level. Always install the
power supply on a stable surface.
WARNING
Since the docking station and power supply heat up during
the charging process, do not operate the docking station on
a combustible surface or in a location where combustible
gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other materials and
substances are present, @ 6.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, connect the
docking station only to a covered Class A GFCI receptacle
that matches the voltage and electrical frequency stated on
the power supply. It must have an enclosure that makes it
weatherproof both when the plug cap is inserted and when
it is removed. Ensure that the docking station is located in
sufficient proximity to reach a covered, weatherproof
Class A GFCI receptacle with the 33 ft. (10 m) power supply
cord. Do not use an extension cord. Use of extension cords
are not authorized and increase the risk of electric shock
and fire. Always ensure that the power supply cord is out of
the cutting path of the robotic mower.
► Depending on your lawn, you may install the docking
station partly within the mowing area (internal docking
station) or outside the mowing area (external docking
station). Review the installation examples provided in this
instruction manual, @ 26.

NOTICE
An invisible dog fence or other in-ground wiring will interfere
with the operation of your robotic mower. Investigate all
potential sources of electrical interference and discuss
these with your STIHL iMow servicing dealer before starting
installation.
To install the docking station within the mowing area
(Internal Docking Station):

2
► Leave a free, level area (3) with a radius of at least
a = 3.3 ft. (1 m) in the mowing area (2) in front of the
docking station (1), free of hills, inclines, depressions,
holes or obstacles. Select an area free of magnetic or
electrical interference. For example, never install over a
metal grate or near an electrical motor, such as a
swimming pool pump. Be sure to remove any existing
perimeter wires before starting a new installation.
