8.3 Corners
Corners with a 90° angle
Corners with a 90° angle can be split into two
corners with a 45° angle. Consequently, the
robot mower changes its direction more smoothly
and with less jerking in this area.
► Route the perimeter wire in corners for at least
37 cm (length: 1x iMOW
area.
Tapered corners with an angle < 90°
Divide tapered corners with an angle < 90° into
two corners. As a result, the robot mower
changes its direction more smoothly and with
less jerking in this area.

8 Installing the Perimeter Wire
► If the angle is less than 90°: Split the angle.
► Design one corner with an angle greater
than 90°. Then route the perimeter wire in a
straight line for at least 37 cm (length:
®
1x iMOW Ruler).
► Then design a corner with an angle greater
than 90°. Subsequently route the perimeter
wire in a straight line for at least 37 cm

8.4 Navigable area
The robot mower is able to navigate areas
directly adjacent to the mowing area if the differ‐
ence in height between the navigable area and
the mowing area is no more than 1.5 cm. The
ground must be solid and there must not be any
obstacles.
Examples:
– Patio
– Paved path
– Edging stones or flagstones
Edgeless mowing is enabled by maintaining a
short distance between the perimeter wire and
the navigable area.
► Route the perimeter wire parallel to and with‐
out any distance from the navigable area.
The maximum difference in height between
the navigable area and the mowing area is
a = 1.5 cm
8.5 Unnavigable area
An area is unnavigable if obstacles close to the
ground protrude into the mowing area, the
ground is not solid or is very uneven and if the
difference in height between the mowing area
and the adjacent area is more than 1.5 cm.
Examples:
– Wall or fence
– Hedge or shrubbery with branches that grow
close to the ground
– Stone garden or gravel path
– Heavily rooted or uneven ground
