SLOPES
Slopes along the edge
To ensure your mower doesn't slip off the lawn, especially when
the grass is wet, the Perimeter Wire must exclude a slope along
the edge of your lawn with an incline of over 6 Degrees (10%) -
that is, 10 cm rise per 1 m [4 in rise per 3 ft].
Less than 6 Degrees (10%)
Slopes within the Lawn
Your mower can mow areas within the
lawn with a slope of up to 20 Degrees
(36%) [35 cm rise per 1 m/14 in rise per 3
ft].
The slope is too steep if...
The mower tilts off the ground while climbing it. Exclude such
slopes from the mower cutting area.

Hard Obstacles
Obstacles that are vertical, rigid
and higher than 15 cm (6 in), such as
trees or telephone poles, do not need
to be protected by the Perimeter
Wire. The mower will bump into them
and turn away..
More than 6 Degrees (10%)
Max 20 Degrees (36%)
A. Make a good start
Before you begin, walk along the edge of your
lawn and plan how to set up the
Perimeter Wire. Take note of
all obstacles and slopes.
Pull out approx. 30 cm (1 ft) of wire through the hole in the spool's
plastic covering and peg the beginning of the wire to the ground where
you intend to install your Base Station.
Once a tail is made, put the
first peg into the ground to
secure the end of the wire
Start unwinding the wire counter-clockwise around the lawn,
starting at the Base Station's location.
Lay it loosely along the perimeter as you walk along the lawn edge. If you
get to any area/object that needs special care, make sure you carefully lay
the Perimeter Wire as described in the following sections.
