ASSEMBLY
5.2
Boundary cable
The boundary cable is secured with lawn pegs. If
the supplied boundary cable is not large enough
for your lawn, you can obtain an extension cable
from your SOLO dealer, technician or service
partner.
Remove the 10 mm of insulation from the
boundary cable and connect it to one side (Fig. 4 -
1) of the base station. Then continue to lay the
cable as shown (Fig. 8), complying with the
specified distances.
To avoid damage when mowing, make sure that
the boundary cable is in direct contact with the
ground at all points when you are laying it.
If there are places where the boundary cable is not
in direct contact with the ground, secure these with
an additional lawn peg.
WARNING!
Damage to the boundary cable!
Do not scarify the lawn in the area on
either side of where the boundary cable is laid.
Spare loops of cable
You should incorporate spare loops of cable (Fig.
8 - 1) at regular intervals in order to allow the base
station to be repositioned or the mowing area to be
extended even after the mowing area has been
laid out. To do this, guide the boundary cable
around a lawn peg, return to the previous lawn
peg, then continue as shown, securing with
another lawn peg.
Select the number of spare cable loops according
to your own judgement.
Laying options
The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn
(Fig. 6 - 1) and as much as 10 cm under the turf
(Fig. 6 - 2). Have your dealer carry out the laying
under the turf on your behalf.
If necessary, you can also combine both methods.
Laying the cable around obstacles
When laying the cable around obstacles, maintain
the distances shown in the illustration (Fig. 8).
If there is a distance of 0 cm between the cables, it
is possible for the cable to be driven over. In most
cases, the best solution.
When the distance is at least 30 cm, the evoCUT
4.0 interprets the distance as a path and moves
around the obstacle.
When laying the boundary cable in walkways (Fig.
8 - 4), it is necessary to maintain the minimum
distances from obstacles and the minimum
passage width specified in the illustration (Fig. 8),

otherwise the evoCUT 4.0 will not be able to
operate correctly.
Crossovers in the boundary cable lead to
malfunctions because the inside and outside parts
are swapped over.
Connecting the boundary cable to the base
station
Remove the insulation from the boundary cable
(Fig. 4 - 2) after laying the cable and connect to the
spring terminals.
5.3
Connecting the low-voltage cables to the
transformer
Unscrew the screws with a screwdriver (Fig. 4 - 3)
and connect the low-voltage cables to the
transformer (Fig. 4 - 5).
The cables can be connected are required, there is
no need to observe a particular polarity.
Insert the mains plug of the transformer into the
mains socket (Fig. 4 - 4).
5.4
Opening the base station
The cover (Fig. 5 - 3) can be opened for checking
the LED indicators for troubleshooting (in case of a
fault).
Checking the connection
Once the cables have been connected, the LEDs
(Fig. 5 - 1) and (Fig. 5 - 2) must light up. If this is
not the case, pull out the mains plug and check if
all plug connections and cables are correctly
seated; also check them for damage.

boundary cable is not OK.
