Installation
■
Secondary area (01/NF): A grass surface that
cannot be reached by the appliance from the
main area. Secondary areas can be pro-
cessed using manual operation.
The main area and secondary areas are bounded
by the same continuous boundary cable, how-
ever.
Location of start points (01/X0 – 01/X3)
At the specified mowing time, the appliance
moves along the boundary cable to the specified
start point and begins to mow there. The start
points can be used to specify which areas of the
mowing area are to be mowed several times.
4.3

Preparing the mowing areas

1. Check that the grass surface is larger than
the area covered by the appliance. If the
grass surface is too large, an irregularly
mown lawn will result. Reduce the size of the
grass surface to be mowed if necessary.
2. Before installation of the base station and
boundary cable or start-up of the appliance:
Use a lawn mower to mow the grass surface
to a low cutting height.
3. Remove any obstacles on the grass surface
or exclude them with the boundary cable (see
chapter 4.5.3 "Excluding obstacles",
page 44):
■
Flat obstacles that will be run over and
could damage the cutting blade (e.g. flat
stones, transitions from the grass surface
to the terrace or paths, plates, kerb-
stones, etc.)
■
Holes and protrusions in the grass sur-
face (e.g. molehills, burrowing holes, pine
cones, fallen fruit, etc.)
■
Steep ascents and descents of more
than 40 % (22°)
■
Bodies of water (e.g. ponds, streams,
swimming pools, etc.) and their demarca-
tion to the grass surface
■
Shrubs and hedges that can become
broader
NOTE
Exclusions are only necessary if they
cannot be detected by the bump sensors
of the automatic lawn mower. Avoid too
many or unnecessary exclusions.

4.4 Setting up the base station (03)
1. Screw the base plate (03/1) onto the base
station (03/2).
2. Attach the extension plate (03/3) to the base
plate (03/1).
3. Place the base station (01/1) at right angles
to the planned location of the boundary cable
and align at ground level. Use a spirit level to
check that the base station is level and adjust
the position of the base station if necessary.
4. Attach the base plate (03/1) and extension
plate (03/3) with lawn pegs (03/4).

Installing the boundary cable

NOTE
If the supplied boundary cable is too
short, an extension cable can be ob-
tained from your AL-KO dealer, techni-
cian or service partner.
4.5.1 Connecting the boundary cable to the
base station (04)
1. Pull the end of the boundary cable (04/1) out
of the packaging.
2. Strip approx. 10 mm from the cable end.
3. Insert the stripped cable end (04/3) in the
spring force terminal (04/4) on the connector
(04/6) of the base station (04/2).
4. Push in the spring force terminal (04/4) with
the cable end into the base plate of the base
station.
5. Put the cover cap (04/5) onto the spring force
terminal (04/6).
4.5.2

Routing the boundary cable (01)

The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn and
as much as 10 cm under the turf. Laying under
the turf can be carried out by the dealer.
Both variants can be combined with one another.
