English
If there is a confined section (6) in the mowing
area, the robotic mower navigates the confined
area, provided that a particular minimum width is
maintained between the perimeter wires. If the
minimum distance cannot be maintained, a guide
wire (7) must be routed through the confined
section (6). The guide wire (7) then guides the
robotic mower directly through the confined sec‐
tion (6) to a starting point (8). From the starting
point (8), the robotic mower can mow the mow‐
ing area behind the confined section (6). How
often the robotic mower returns to the starting
point (8) can be managed by the MY iMOW
and taken into account in the mowing plan.

Planning and preparing mow‐
ing areas
Plan and prepare the mowing area prior to com‐
missioning the robot mower. This enables a
robust installation and smooth operation and
eliminates potential sources of faults.
Planning mowing surfaces
► Familiarize yourself with the descriptions
about the docking station and wire routing in
the following sections.
► Transfer the information to your own garden:
– Outline of the mowing area
– Position of the docking station
– Routing of the perimeter wire (note descri‐
bed distances to the edges and wire routing
cases)
– Routing of the guide wire(s) (at least one,
maximum of two)

Preparing mowing areas
► Remove any objects lying around.
► Remove metals, magnetic materials and mate‐
rials that conduct electricity as well as old
perimeter wires.
► Mow lawns with a lawn mower to the cutting
height that will later be set for the operation of
the robot mower. The default setting for the
cutting height on the robot mower is a = 6 cm.
► Level out holes and rough, uneven patches.
► Where ground is hard and dry, slightly moisten
the mowing area to make driving the anchor‐
ing stakes easier.
► As a result of its design, the robot mower
leaves a strip with unmown lawn along unnavi‐
gable areas. This strip can be used, for exam‐
ple, to sow flower seeds and create areas with
blossoming vegetation for insects.
► If you want to mow without leaving an edge
along inaccessible areas: Install edging stones
or flagstones with a minimum width of
a = 24 cm along these areas.
