Installation Guide
This chapter explains how to install the Robotic Mower. Please read this completely before you
start the installation.
Introduction
We recommend creating a drawing of your lawn, including all obstacles and how these should be
protected. This makes it easier to find a good position for the docking station and how to correctly
place the boundary wire around your garden perimeter protecting bushes, flower beds etc. You
will also need some tools, like a hammer and wire cutters, pliers or scissors.
Pre Cut your lawn
Your lawn needs to be prepared correctly, prior to installing the robot lawnmower.
Pre cut your lawn to a height of 60 mm.
< 60 mm
Cutting limitations
The Robotic Mower is equipped with collision sensors. These detect all rigid and solid obstacles
that are higher than 100 mm, such as walls, fences and garden furniture.
When the sensors report an obstacle, the Robotic Mower stops, backs up and then mows in a
different direction. As a long-term solution, it is recommended to lay the boundary wire accordingly
using the ruler to protect obstacles and the device. Lay the boundary wire so that the Robotic
Mower is not more than 20 m away from the boundary wire at any point in the mowing area.
Trees
The Robotic Mower treats trees as common obstacles, but if the roots of the tree are exposed and
lower than 100mm, this area should be excluded using boundary wire in order to protect the tree
root, cutting blades or rear wheels from damage.

Stones
We recommend clearing the lawn of small (less than 100 mm high) rocks and stones and any
stones with a round or sloped edge. The Robotic Mower might try and climb such rocks instead
of recognising them as a barrier. The Robotic Mower getting stuck on such a stone requires user
intervention to restart mowing. Contact with stones can result in damage to the blades.
Slopes
< 60mm
The Robotic Mower can navigate slopes up to a maximum of 30% incline or decline.
The boundary wire should never be perpendicular to an incline of more than 10%. Also, leave
strip of at least 2 m between a slope of 10% or steeper and the boundary wire. Otherwise, the
higher speed going down the slope may cause the Robotic Mower to go over the boundary wire,
especially on wet and slippery ground.
Paths, Driveways and Roads
If an elevated driveway crosses your lawn, better keep it outside the boundary wire.
Please allow a safety distance of 30 cm between driveway and boundary wire.
If the driveway and lawn are at the same level, feel free to use the boundary wire to create a
corridor. This allows your Robotic Mower to cross the driveway and reach the opposite lawn.
