the robotic lawnmower cannot travel on its own from the
secondary area to the charging station. See
mode - Start on page 44 . In this mode, the robotic
lawnmower will never look for the charging station but
will mow until the battery runs out. When the battery is
flat, the robotic lawnmower will stop and the
manual charging message will appear in the display.
Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to
charge the battery. If the main area has to be cut
straight after charging, the START button must be

3.5.3.2 Passages when mowing
Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 1,5
- 2 m / 5 - 6.5 ft. should be avoided. It is then a risk that
the robotic lawnmower travels around in the passage or
area for a period of time. The lawn will then look
flattened.
3.5.3.3 Slopes
The robotic lawnmower can operate in slopes. The
maximum gradient is defined as percentage units (%)
and is calculated as difference in elevation in
centimetres for every metre.
The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants
less than 15%.
0-15%
100 cm / 40"
The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope that
is steeper than 15%. There is a risk that the robotic
lawnmower will find it difficult to turn there. The robotic
lawnmower will then stop and the
fault message is displayed. The risk is at its greatest in
damp weather conditions, as the wheels can slip on the
wet grass.

However, the boundary wire can be laid across a slope
steeper than 15% if there is an obstacle that the robotic
lawnmower is allowed to collide with, for example, a
fence or a dense hedge.
Inside the working area the robotic lawnmower can mow
areas which slope up to 40%. Areas that slope more
must be isolated with the boundary wire.
When a part of the working area's outer edge slopes
more than 15%, the boundary wire must be laid about
20 cm / 8 in. in on the flat ground before the beginning of
the slope.
