Warning
If the perimeter switch is mounted too close to the
perimeter wire edge, the lawn mower may go off
the perimeter and mow several feet (meters)
uncontrolled.
Whichever mounting method you use, ensure that
the perimeter switch is at least five feet
(1.5 meters) from the perimeter wire so that the
lawn mower cannot touch it (Inset 5 of Fig. 4).
Note: If you temporarily mount the perimeter switch,
disconnect the perimeter wire connector from the
perimeter switch (Fig. 13) after the lawn mower has
completed mowing, and store the perimeter switch
indoors in a safe place out of the reach of children.
Laying the Perimeter Wire
1. Starting at the perimeter switch, uncoil the perimeter
wire and lay it out on the lawn.
Note: Allow about six feet (two meters) at the
beginning of the perimeter wire for installing and
adjusting the perimeter switch.
2. Lay down the perimeter wire 10-1/2 inches
(27 centimeters) from the edge of the lawn, where the
edge is in a relatively flat area without obstacles
(Fig. 9).

Lay down the perimeter wire 15-1/2 inches
(40 centimeters) from the edge of the lawn near walls,
fences, rocks, or where there is a difference in height
between the lawn's edge and the surrounding terrain
(Fig. 10).

Note: Use the ruler provided to easily measure these
distances.
3. If the ground is hard, lightly water the area.
4. Secure the perimeter wire along the boundary of the
plot to the ground with the pegs (Fig. 11) set about
three feet (one meter) apart. Keep the wire taut as you
go.
