3. INSTALLATION
Boundaries within the working area
Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the
working area by creating islands around obstacles
that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower
beds and fountains. Run the cable out to the area,
route it around the area to be demarcated and then
back along the same route. If staples are used, the
wire should be laid under the same staple on the
return route. When the boundary wire to and from the
island are close together, the mower can drive over
the wire.
Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example,
trees or bushes higher than 6" (15 cm), do not need
to be demarcated by the boundary wire. Automower
®
will turn when it collides with this type of obstacle.
To achieve careful and silent operation, it is
recommended to isolate all fixed objects in and
around the working area.
The boundary wire may not be crossed on its way to
and from an island.
Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or
large trees with raised roots, should be demarcated
or removed. Automower
® can otherwise slide up onto
this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be
damaged.
Secondary areas
If the working area consists of two areas between
which the mower has difficulty travelling, it is
recommended to set up a secondary area. Instances
of this are 25% slopes or a passage that is narrower
than 24” (60 cm). Run the boundary wire then around
the secondary area so that it forms an island outside
of the main area.
The Automower ® must be moved manually between
the main and secondary area when the lawn in the
secondary area has to be cut. The MAN operation
mode must be used as the lawn mower cannot travel
on its own from the secondary area to the charging
station. See 5.1 Operation selection on page 39. In
this mode, the Automower
® will never look for the
charging station but will mow until the battery runs
out. When the battery charge is low, the mower will
stop and the 'Needs manual charging' message will
appear in the display. Then place the mower in the
charging station to charge the battery. If the main
working area has to be cut after charging, it is
appropriate to switch the operation mode to Auto
before placing the mower in the charging station.
