Chapter 4 – Initial Setup

4.1 Preparations

Recommendations before you start
During setup, you need to insert pegs into the ground. To
complete this task smoothly, we recommend not to do it while
the grass is high and to water it before starting.
4.1.1 Getting Ready
Make sure all parts needed for setup are within your reach.
Have the Robomow box nearby, so all items are available.
In addition, you will need the following tools: A hammer, small
flat screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, Combination Pliers.
4.1.2 Installing the Power Box
Mount the metal bracket onto a vertical surface with the
provided screws. Make sure the narrow part with the holes
facing up as shown in the figure to the right.
• Place the Power Box above the metal bracket and slide
it into place along the vertical surface.
• Connect the Power Box to a regular power outlet (230V
/ 120V).
4.1.3 Charging the battery before the first operation
You can charge the Robomow battery while running the setup
of the Perimeter Wire. This will ensure that Robomow will be
ready for operation when the setup is completed.
• The power of the mower is switched off when shipped
from the factory. Switch on the Safety Switch to power
on the mower.
• Connect the DC Cable coming from the Power Box to the
Charging Socket at the rear side of Robomow.
• Confirm the Battery LED on Robomow is blinking, which
is an indication of charging.
• Leave Robomow connected to the Power Box while
completing the setup of the Perimeter Wire.
Note!
Your product comes with a minimal battery charge, which
is only sufficient for performing the One-Time Setup. This
initial charge does not allow performing a complete mowing
operation

4.2 Perimeter Wire Setup

Before you start the setup, you should have a plan for the Perimeter Wire layout and for the location of the Base
Station. Your plan should consider the following:
o What type of lawn areas does your lawn have?
(Main Zone Only / Main + Sub-Zones / Separated Zones / combination of types).
o Are there protected or excluded areas on the lawn? (Perimeter Islands).
o Are there any slopes that Robomow should avoid?
o
Are there edges of pools, ponds, cliffs etc., which need an extra distance from the Perimeter Wire?
