• Then lay the boundary wire (11) as described in
point 8.3 "Laying the boundary wire (11)".
m NOTE:
The boundary wire (11) must be laid at least 100
cm straight in front of the charging station (10).
• After laying the boundary wire (11), trim off the ex-
cess wire.
• To connect the second end of the boundary wire
(11), strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from the end
and insert it into the black "IN" cable clamp.
8.3 Laying the boundary wire (11) (Fig. 1/2)
The boundary wire (11) must be laid as a loop around
the working area. When the robot mower (1) ap-
proaches, sensors inside the product detect the
boundary wire (11). The mower changes direction at
a random angle when it reaches the boundary wire
(11).
If the mower needs to return to the charging station
(10), it searches for / drives to the boundary wire (11)
and then turns to the left.
It then travels along the boundary wire (11) back to
the charging station (10).
8.3.1 General notes / boundary cable installation
m ATTENTION:
To avoid damage to the product there must be
an obstacle of min. 15 cm height between the
boundary wire (11) and water bodies/slopes/em-
bankments and/or public roads.
m ATTENTION:
Do not operate the mower on gravel/stones.
m NOTE:
Define and make a sketch of the working area before
starting to lay the boundary wire (11).
m NOTE:
The max. permissible length for the boundary wire
(11) is 300 m.
• The distance from the boundary wire (11) to the
outer edge must be 30 cm (Fig. 6).
• A distance of 8 cm between the boundary wire (11)
is sufficient if all of the following apply (Fig. 7):
- the boundary surface can be driven over (e.g.
footpath, driveway or similar).
- the boundary surface is at the same level as the
mowing surface.
- there are no protruding or pointed parts on the
boundary surface that can come into contact
with the mower or blades and damage them.
- there are no plants on the boundary area that
should not be mown.
• The boundary wire (11) can be buried, or fastened
in place using the wire pegs (12) provided.
• When laying the boundary wire (11), the angle in
corners must always be >90° (see Fig. 8+9).
• The robot mower (1) finds areas/passages that ta-
per or that have a width of ≥ 0.8 m (Fig. 10).
• The minimum width of the mowing area is 0.8 m
(Fig. 10).
• The maximum possible gradient is 35% (20°).
m Attention
To prevent accidents and/or damage to persons or
the product, it is prohibited to operate the product
on steeper terrain.
You can see how to determine the slope in Fig. 11.
m NOTE:
For the demarcation of slopes/embankments, see
point 8.3.3.
m ATTENTION!
If you intend to use a scarifier within the working
area of the robotic mower, the boundary wire (11)
must be buried.
8.3.1.1 Burying the boundary wire (11)
• When burying the boundary wire (11), make a nar-
row groove in the grass turf using a spade or sim-
ilar. Then place the wire in the groove and cover it
with soil.
m IMPORTANT:
To ensure trouble-free operation, the boundary
wire (11) may be covered with max. 3 cm of earth.
• After covering the boundary wire (11) with soil, it is
sufficient to compact the loose soil with your body
weight.
8.3.1.2 Fasten the boundary wire (11) with the
wire pegs (12)
m NOTE:
The distance between the wire pegs (12) must not
exceed 80 cm (Fig. 12).
• Place the boundary wire (11) on the grass at a dis-
tance of 30 cm or 8 cm from the outer edge (Fig.
6/7).
• Fix the boundary wire (11) at least every 80 cm us-
ing a wire peg (12) (Fig. 12).
• Knock the wire pegs (12) into the ground (Fig. 13)
with the help of a hammer (not included in the
scope of delivery).
• In case of uneven or curved conditions, the dis-
tance between the wire pegs (12) must be reduced
accordingly.
