Preparing The Mowing Area And Robot Mower For Operation - Stihl iMOW 5.0 Instruction Manual

English
voice output provide information about the cur‐
rent status of the robotic mower.

If the battery's state of charge is low, the robotic
mower will search for the nearest guide wire (4)
during the mowing operation. If a guide wire (4)
is recognized, the robotic mower will return to the
docking station by itself. The docking station
recharges the battery. At least one guide wire (4)
must be installed in the mowing area. A maxi‐
mum of two guide wires can be installed. If the
mowing operation is canceled or the battery must
be charged, the robotic mower can be sent
directly back to the docking station using the
®
MY iMOW app or HOME pushbutton.

Up to three starting points (5) can be specified
on a guide wire (4). The robotic mower can move
specifically to the respective starting point and
start mowing from there.
The mowing area can be divided into several
zones (example: A and B) by the guide wire (4).
The zones are defined by a starting point (5).
The robotic mower can be directed from the
selected starting point to the left or right into the
desired zone. The robotic mower can then mow
specifically in the selected zone. The starting
points and zones are managed in the
®
MY iMOW app and can be taking into account
in the mowing plan.

6 Preparing the Mowing Area and Robot Mower for Operation

If there is a confined section (6) in the mowing
area, the robotic mower navigates the confined
area, provided that a particular minimum width is
maintained between the perimeter wires. If the
minimum distance cannot be maintained, a guide
wire (7) must be routed through the confined
section (6). The guide wire (7) then guides the
robotic mower directly through the confined sec‐
tion (6) to a starting point (8). From the starting
point (8), the robotic mower can mow the mow‐
ing area behind the confined section (6). The fre‐
quency at which the robotic mower returns to the
starting point (8) can be managed by the
®
MY iMOW app and taken into account in the
mowing plan.

6.1 Planning and preparing mow‐
ing areas
Plan and prepare the mowing area prior to com‐
missioning the robot mower. This enables a
robust installation and smooth operation and
eliminates potential sources of faults.
Planning mowing surfaces
► Familiarize yourself with the descriptions
about the docking station and wire routing in
the following sections.
► Transfer the information to your own garden:
– Outline of the mowing area
– Position of the docking station
– Routing of the perimeter wire (note descri‐
bed distances to the edges and wire routing
cases)
– Routing of the guide wire(s) (at least one,
maximum of two)
