To install the boundary wire

1. Lay the boundary wire so that it forms a loop around the whole work area using stakes supplied or bury the wire.
   NOTE: Do not lay the boundary wire in sharp bends.
2. Adapt the distance between the boundary wire and different objects.
   1. Lay the boundary wire around all work area in a loop.
   2. High obstacles > 5 cm / 2 in e.g. wall or fence.
   3. Low obstacles 1-5 cm / 0.4-2 in. or a dropped edge e.g. flower bed.
   4. Objects level with the lawn 0-1 cm / 0.4 in e.g. path, paving stones.
   5. Make an island to isolate areas.
3. Make an eyelet at the point on the boundary wire where the guide wire is later connected (F).
4. To handle slopes, passages and secondary areas, refer to the Operator's manual.

To connect the boundary wire

1. Open the connector and lay the boundary wire in the connector.
   
2. Press the connector and the wire together by using a pair of pliers.
   
3. Cut off the wire 1-2 cm / 0.4-0.8 in. after the connectors.
   
4. Press the boundary wire connectors onto the contact pins marked L (left) and R (right) on the charging station.
   NOTE: The right-hand wire must be connected to the right-hand contact pin on the charging station, and the left-hand wire to the left-hand pin.
   

To install and connect the guide wire

Install a guide wire to lead the robotic lawn mower to remote parts of the lawn and to help it to find the charging station.

1. Push the guide wire through the bottom of the charging station and fasten it into place using the snap locks.
   Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for the boundary wire, according to the instructions above.
2. Press the guide wire connector onto the contact pin marked GUIDE on the charging station.
3. Pull the guide wire a minimum of 2 m / 7 ft. straight out from the front edge of the charging station.
4. Lay the guide wire from the charging station to the point on the boundary wire (eyelet) where the connection is made using stakes supplied or bury the wire.
   NOTE: Do not lay the guide wire in sharp bends and it cannot cross the boundary wire that for instance is laid out for an island.
5. Cut the boundary wire at the center of the eyelet that was made in step 3 in the To install the boundary wire chapter.
6. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire by inserting the boundary wires and guide wire in the coupler, and pressing the coupler together with a pair of pliers.
   NOTE: After the guide wire is installed. Attach the charging station to the ground with the supplied screws and allen key.
   NOTE: For optimal performance through narrow passages please ensure the guide wire is laid correctly through it. Please read the Operator's manual for further instructions.
