    3. INSTALLATION 3.2 Installation of the loop generator/charger The loop generator/charger must be placed where it is well ventilated and is not exposed to direct sunlight. The mower's battery is spared if it is charged in the lowest possible ambient temperature. It is also beneficial if the transformer can be placed under a roof.

  • Page 16: Charging The Battery

    3. INSTALLATION 3.3 Charging the battery Automower is supplied with an uncharged battery. As ® soon as the loop generator/charger is connected, it is possible to charge the mower. Set the main switch to the ON position and leave the cover for the control panel open. Connect the charger cable from the loop generator/charger to the charger contact on the mower.
  • Page 17 3. INSTALLATION Best position for the boundary wire The boundary wire should be laid so it: • Forms a loop around the working area for Automower ® . Only an original boundary wire must be used. This is tinned and has a high quality insulation to withstand the dampness in the ground.
  • Page 18 3. INSTALLATION Boundaries for the working area If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent Automower ® from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear.
  • Page 19 3. INSTALLATION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and fountains. Run the cable out to the area, route it around the area to be demarcated and then back along the same route.
  • Page 20 3. INSTALLATION Secondary areas It is recommended to create a secondary area when the working area is made up of two areas that are joined by a passage where the distance between the Secondary area boundary wires is less than 60 cm. Run the boundary wire then around the secondary area so that it forms an island outside of the main area.
  • Page 21 3. INSTALLATION Automower ® can mow areas inside the working area that slope up to 35 cm per distance metre (35 %). Areas that slope more must be demarcated by the boundary wire. When any part of the working area's boundary slopes more than 10 cm per distance metre (10 %), the boundary wire must be routed about...
  • Page 22 3. INSTALLATION • Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the ground and secure the staples close together with approximately 75 cm between each staple. The wire must generally lie close to the ground so, as not to be cut off before the grass roots have grown over it.

  • Page 23: Connecting The Boundary Wire

    3. INSTALLATION Joining the boundary wire If the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced: Use original solderless coupler. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection. To splice: Insert both cable ends in the coupler. Now press down the button on top of the connector fully.

  • Page 24: Checking The Installation

    3. INSTALLATION Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1 - 2 cm above respective connectors. Attach the connector to the contact pin on the loop generator/charger. 3.6 Checking the installation Check the loop signal by looking to see what indication the green LED on the loop generator/charger is giving.
