Passages when mowing
Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than
5 - 7 ft (1.5 - 2 metres), should be avoided. When
Automower™ mows there is a risk that it runs around
in the passage or area for a too long a period. The
lawn will then look flattened.
Passages when searching for the charging station
The distance between the boundary wires in a
passage must be at least 10 ft (3 metres) in order for
Automower™ to follow the boundary wire through the
passage without the need of changing the mower's
default settings. When the distance is less than 10 ft
(3 metres), there are two options available that permit
Automower™ to run through the passage.
1. Install a guide wire.
When the distance between the boundary wires
is less than 10 ft (3 metres), it is recommended
to install a guide wire through the passage. For
more information about the guide wire, see 3.8
Installation of the guide wire on page 32.
Usually the installation of the guide wire is the best
solution with narrow passages.
The narrowest passage that Automower™ can
run through with the help of a guide wire is 2 ft
(60 cm) between the boundary wires.
2. Change the Corridor width setting (3-2-3).
When the distance between the boundary wires in
a narrow passage is more than 7 ft (2 metres) it is
possible for Automower™ to run through the
passage if a low value is set for the Corridor width
(3-2-3) function (see page 54). However, a low
value involves a large risk of tracks forming along
the entire boundary wire.
The transition between a large area and a passage
should be, if possible, designed like a funnel, with
rounded corners, to make it easier for Automower™ to
enter the passage.
