VERIFICATION OF THE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Below, the procedures to check the necessary requirements and prepare the garden before proceeding
with the installation are described.

4.3.1. GARDEN VERIFICATION:

• Carry out a survey of the entire area for a correct detection of the state of the garden, of any
obstacles and areas to be excluded.
• Check whether the lawn to be mowed is even, free of holes, stones or other obstacles and if
necessary carry out any necessary remediation work.
• Level the ground to prevent puddles from forming after a rainfall.
• At the first installation, the initial height of the grass must be within the operating range of the robot
lawn mower: 20-60mm. If necessary, prepare the garden using a traditional lawn mower.
The robot lawn mower works using a satellite signal. The accuracy of the satellite signal can be affected
by:
• The presence of obstacles around the perimeter of the installation or within the work area, such
as: trees with dense foliage, hedges, boundary walls, metal fences, buildings and reflective surfaces
such as glass or metal walls.
• Adverse weather conditions, such as dense fog, dense cloud cover, heavy rainfall or snowfall.
In the event of any malfunction, move the satellite reference station to another area free of obstacles and/
or exclude the area from the work area of the robot lawn mower.

4.3.2. CHECKS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE CHARGING BASE AND POWER SUPPLY:

ELECTRICAL HAZARD:
A socket must have been prepared
near the installation area to connect
it to electricity. Make sure that
connection to the power supply
network conforms to laws in force of
the Country where it is used.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD:
The circuit provided must be protected
by a residual current device (RCD)
with an activation current not
exceeding 30 mA.
Procedure:
• Provide a flat surface to position the charging base (A). The charging base must be installed in a
location that can be reached by the satellite signal, preferably in an area of the garden where the sky
is fully visible and near an electrical socket.
• Make sure that the space for installing the charging base is sufficient, in order to have an obstacle-
free zone at least 2 metres wide and at least 3 metres long in front of it. The ground must be perfectly
flat and compact in order to avoid deformation of the surface of the charging base.
EN
ELECTRICAL HAZARD:
Do not connect the power supply to
an electrical outlet if the plug or the
cable is damaged.
Do not connect or touch a damaged
cable before it is disconnected from
the power supply.
A damaged cable can lead to
contact with live parts.
