Charging The Battery; Boundary Wire - McCulloch ROB R600 Operator's Manual

CAUTION! It is not permitted to make new holes
in the base plate. Only the existing holes may be
used to secure the base plate to the ground.
CAUTION! Do not tread or walk on the charging
station's base plate.

Charging the battery

As soon as the charging station is connected, it is possible
to charge the robotic lawnmower. Set the main switch to
1 .
position
Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to
charge the battery while the boundary and guide wires are
being laid.
If the battery is flat, it takes around 80 to 100 minutes to
fully charge it.
Note: The robotic lawnmower cannot be used before the
installation is complete.

Boundary wire

Ensure correct installation of the boundary wire according
to the instruction.
The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following
ways:
175 - 001 - 17.03.2017
• Secure the wire to the ground with pegs.
It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you
want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during
the first few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the
grass will have grown over the wire making it no longer
visible. Use a hammer/plastic mallet and the pegs
supplied when carrying out the installation.
• Bury the wire.
It is preferable to bury the boundary wire if you want to
dethatch or aerate the lawn. If necessary, both
methods can be combined so one part of the boundary
wire is pegged down and the remainder is buried. The
wire can be buried for instance using an edge cutter or
a straight spade. Make sure to lay the boundary wire at
least 1 cm and a maximum of 20 cm in the ground.
Plan where to lay the boundary wire
The boundary wire must be laid so that:
• A loop is formed around the working area for the
robotic lawnmower. Only original boundary wire must
be used. It is specially designed to resist dampness
from the soil that could otherwise easily damage the
wires.
• The robotic lawnmower is never more than 15 m from
the wire at any point in the entire working area.
• The total length of the boundary wire does not exceed
400 m.
• About 20 cm of extra wire is available to which the
guide wire will be connected later. See
boundary wire on page 17 .
Depending on what the working area is adjacent to, the
boundary wire must be laid at different distances from
obstacles. The illustration below shows how the boundary
wire must be laid around the working area and around
obstacles. Use the supplied measurement gauge to obtain
the correct distance (see
Laying the
Product overview on page 5 ).
