Preparation & Installation
Installing your mower is easier if you carefully follow these instructions. In the end, it is a matter
of installing the charging station and laying the boundary wire all around your lawn.
1. Patrol your lawn to plan installation.
2. Install the charging station.
3. Lay the boundary wire.
4. Connect charging station to AC.
5. Power up mower. Test and get ready to mow.
Every minute spent in planning saves you 10 minutes in execution
Installing mower is even easier if you have made a clear idea of what you need to do. A proper
planning will also help you avoid mistakes or having to rework the installation once it's done.
On the surface or buried?
Mower's boundary wire is designed to stay on the surface of your lawn. Nearly invisible from
the first day, it will be engulfed in the soil in a few weeks. If you will want to bury the wire, it is
recommended to first peg it down and test the installation is successful by running mower over
the perimeter. This allows you to easily check everything and, if necessary, change the layout
before burying the wire. Bury the wire no more than a few centimetres below ground level, so that
the wire ensures good signal.
Plan for the Charging station
The charging station is where your mower goes to have its battery recharged. It's also the parking
lot where it rests in between one mowing session and the next.
Locate a proper position for it, bearing in mind:
• It needs to be powered, so it should be no more than 8m away from an AC mains outlet.
• If possible, choose a shaded position as batteries and chargers don't like over-heating.
• The base needs to sit on flat land without rocks, to ensure effective docking.
• Avoid places close to irrigation sprinklers.
You can place the charging station on your lawn or on a hard surface like a walkway, provided that
the lawn and the hard surface are at the same height (no steps).
To enter the station, the mower needs at least 100 cm straight path in front, as shown in fig 1. On
the exit side, it needs at least 50 cm straight path, as shown in fig 2.
