Preparing The Work Area; Installing The Ac Adapter; Installing The Boundary Wire - Makita RM350D Setup Manual

Carrying the Robotic Mower
WARNING: Make sure that the power switch of the Robotic Mower is off.
WARNING: Do not hold other than the grip when carrying the Robotic Mower.
WARNING: Do not hold the Robotic Mower with the mower blades facing you.
WARNING: Do not operate the Robotic Mower while other people are touching it.
1. If the Robotic Mower is operating, press the "STOP" button.
The display cover opens and the Robotic Mower stops.
2. Close the display cover and press the O side of the power switch.
3. Hold the grip and lift up the Robotic Mower.

Preparing the Work Area

Prepare as follows so as not to obstruct the auto mowing of the Robotic Mower.
• Clear away sticks, stones, and other largish objects from the work area.
• If the lawn height exceeds 100 mm, cut it down to that height or less.
• Fill in and smooth any sunken areas or places where puddles form.
• Remove snow if it accumulated.

Installing the AC Adapter

Choose a well-ventilated shaded place where raindrops do not fall into. Place the AC adapter keeping 30 cm or more height from the ground. It is
recommended to fix the AC adapter on the wall using screws.
NOTICE: To prevent the connector from being deformed or damaged, connect the connector straight without tilting it.
NOTE: Household power supply for outdoor location that is not exposed to rain is required.
NOTE: If the installation location lacks sufficient load-bearing strength, reinforce it.
NOTE: After installing the AC adapter, unplug the power plug of the AC adapter.
NOTE: Do not chain the plural cabtire cables.

Locating the charging station
The charging station charges the Robotic Mower and flows signals in the boundary wire and guide wire.
Charging station installation conditions
NOTICE: Do not bend the station base.
• Choose a possibly level place near from power source (within ±5°).
• Choose a place which is protected against direct sunlight.
• If the charging station is placed on the lawn, the area to be placed should be mowed short.
• There is a space of 3 m or more from the back end of the charging station.

► Fig.4: a) 5° or less b) 3 m or more
Determining the position of the charging station
Determine the position of the charging station by following the installation conditions.
NOTE: Do not fix the charging station. You only have to decide the position of the charging station in this step.

Installing the Boundary Wire

• The boundary wire is installed around the outermost side of the area where the Robotic Mower will perform the mowing work. Install the bound-
ary wire so that it encloses the work area in a single, unbroken line and connect both ends of the boundary wire to the charging station.
• The Robotic Mower will not operate properly if the boundary wire is not installed correctly. Be sure to install the boundary wire by following the
instructions on this manual.
• If there is a metal object such as steel bar on the ground, the metal object interferes the loop signal and cause stoppage.
NOTE: There are two ways to install the boundary wire; fixing with pegs or burying in the ground (up to 20 cm). This instruction manual explains
the installation using pegs.
