Laying out the boundary wire
If you intend to staple down the boundary wire:
• Cut the grass very low with a standard robotic
lawn mower or a trimmer where the wire is to be
laid. It will then be easier to lay the wire close to
the ground and the risk of the mower cutting the
wire or damaging the wire's insulation is
reduced.
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the
ground and secure the staples close together
with approximately 30" (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.
• Use a hammer to knock down the staples in the
ground. Exercise care when knocking in the
staples and make sure the wire is not under
strain. Avoid forming the wire in sharp bends.
If the boundary wire is to be buried:
• Make sure to place the boundary wire at least 0.4"
(1 cm) and a maximum of 8" (20 cm) into the
ground. For instance, the wire can be buried using
an edge cutter or a straight spade.
Use the supplied measurement gauge as a guide
when you lay out the boundary wire. This helps you to
easily set the correct distance between the boundary
wire and the boundary/obstacle. The measurement
gauge has broken loose from the box.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Extra wire must not be placed in coils outside
the boundary wire. This can disrupt

Loop for connecting the guide wire
To facilitate the connection of the guide wire to the
boundary wire, it is recommended to create a loop
with about 8" (20 cm) of extra boundary wire at the
point where the guide wire will later be connected. It
is a good idea to plan where the guide wire will be
placed before laying out the boundary wire. See
3.6 Installation of the guide wire on page 28.
