Perform a One-Time Setup before operating the unit for the first time.
[Detailed instructions are in the following chapters]
You will install a wire around the entire lawn and around protected areas within the
lawn area. This wire is the Perimeter Wire; it sets the boundaries for the unit.
Small pegs are supplied with the unit. You use them to fasten the Perimeter Wire into
the ground, below grass level.
The Perimeter Wire will gradually disappear under the growth of new grass until, quite
soon, it will be invisible.
You will place a Base Station and a Power Box along the Perimeter Wire. They
perform two basic functions:
o
They generate a very low voltage signal along the Perimeter Wire.
o
They charge the unit's batteries.
After having completed the installation of the Perimeter Wire, Base Station, and the
Power Box, and performing the One-Time Setup, the unit will do all the mowing for you
for the entire season !
The unit mows. You don't!
The unit leaves its Base Station on the scheduled mowing time. The unit mows the lawn and then drives itself back to the
Base Station to be charged and ready for its next scheduled mowing.
As soon as the unit leaves for mowing, the Base Station automatically triggers a special signal. This signal creates a virtual
wall, visible only to the unit. This signal keeps the unit within the lawn boundaries, and prevents it from entering areas it was
programmed to skip or protect.
Base Station and Power Box:
- Generates signal along the wire.
- Charges the unit's battery.

How the Unit Works for You
Large trees: the unit is allowed to bump into
them. At this size, the objects do not require
a Perimeter Wire around them.
