    INSTALLATION PACKING AND UNPACKING The equipment is delivered suitably packaged. When unpacking, carefully remove and check the integrity of the parts. Warning – Caution Keep plastic wrapping and plastic containers away from infants and children: risk of suffocation! Important Keep the packaging materials for future use. PLANNING OF SYSTEM INSTALLATION The robot is not difficult to install, but requires some preliminary planning in order to find the best area for installing the charging station, power supply unit and for laying out the perimeter wire.
  • Page 11 • The charging station is connected to the power supply unit via a cord that must move away from the charging station on the outside of the cutting area. • Position the power supply unit according to these rules: in a well-ventilated area protected against atmospheric agents and direct sunlight;...
  • Page 12: Setting Up Of The Perimeter Wire

    SETTING UP OF THE PERIMETER WIRE Before installing the perimeter wire, it is necessary to check the entire surface of the lawn. Make any necessary adjustments to the grassy surface during the laying of the perimeter wire in order to allow the robot to function correctly.
  • Page 13: Setup Of The Robot's Quick Re-Entry To The Charging Station

    SETUP OF THE ROBOT’S QUICK RE-ENTRY TO THE CHARGING STATION Quick re-entry requires a special installation of the perimeter wire that allows the robot to reduce the re-entry path to the charging station. This special installation of the perimeter wire should only be used for gardens where quick re-entry significantly reduces the path and where the perimeter length is greater than 200 meters.
  • Page 14: Preparation And Marking The Boundaries Of The Work Areas

    PREPARATION AND MARKING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE WORK AREAS Preparation of the lawn to be mowed 1. Make sure the lawn to be mowed is even and does not contain holes, stones or other obstacles. If necessary, prepare the lawn by filling in any holes and removing any obstacles. If some obstacles cannot be removed, it is necessary to properly mark these areas with the perimeter wire.
  • Page 15 Marking the boundary of the work area 3. Check the entire lawn surface and assess whether it is necessary to divide it into separate work areas as per the rules described here below. Before installing the perimeter Track for laying the perimeter wire wire, check the entire path to make this procedure easier.
  • Page 16 4. If there is a pavement or driveway inside or outside the work area, which is at the same level of the lawn, lay the perimeter wire at a distance of 5 cm (1.96 ") from the edge of the pavement. The robot will come out slightly from the lawn and all the grass will be mowed.
  • Page 17 If there is a pool, pond, ravine, ditch, steps or public roads not protected by an easily crossable fence or wall inside or outside the work area, install the perimeter wire at least 200 cm (78,74 ") from the edge. In order to install the perimeter wire as close as possible to the edge of the cutting area, we recommend installing a fence that is difficult to cross if adjacent to public areas, or a fence at least 15 cm high in other cases.
  • Page 18: Installation Of Perimeter Wire

    INSTALLATION OF PERIMETER WIRE The perimeter wire can be buried or laid on the ground. If you have a wire layer machine, it is better to bury the wire for greater protection. perimeter wire Otherwise, install the wire on the ground with the pegs provided as described below.
  • Page 19: Installation Of The Charging Station And Power Supply Unit

    Joining of the perimeter wire Use an original joint if another perimeter wire is needed to complete the installation. Insert each end of the wire in the joint, making sure the wires are fully inserted so that the ends are visible on each side. Press the button on the upper side all the way down using a pair of pliers.
