whose entire surface can be mowed auto-
matically by the appliance.
■
Secondary area (05/NF): If a grass surface
cannot be reached by the appliance from the
main area, carry the appliance to the second-
ary area by hand if necessary. Secondary ar-
eas can be processed using manual opera-
tion.
The main area and secondary areas are bounded
by the same continuous boundary cable, howev-
er.
Location of start points (05/X0 – 05/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 ar-
eas 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 47):
■
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 upward or downward slopes that
are larger than the values specified in the
technical data
■
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

4.4 Setting up the base station (07/a)
1. Place the base station (05/1) at right angles
to the planned location of the boundary cable
as described below:
■
Level (check with spirit level)
■
Straight and level entrance and exit
■
Not arched (the charging station must not
bend or tilt during subsequent tightening
of the screw nails)
2. Fix the base station (07/2) to the floor with
four screw nails (07/1).
4.5 Installing the boundary cable
NOTE If the supplied boundary cable deliv-
ered with the model is too short, an extension ca-
ble can be obtained from your AL-KO dealer or
service partner.
4.5.1 Connecting the boundary cable to the
base station (07/b)
1. Pull the boundary cable (07/4) out of the
packaging.
2. Remove the cover of the cable shaft (07/3)
on the connection (07/A).
3. Insulate the end of the boundary cable (07/6)
and insert into the terminal (07/7).
4. Close the terminal.
5. Lead the boundary cable through the strain
relief (07/5) out of the cable shaft with cable
reserve.
NOTE The cable reserve allows smaller
corrections to be carried out on the cable guide
later.
6. Place the cover on the cable shaft.
4.5.2 Routing the boundary cable (05)
The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn and
as much as 10 cm under the turf. The laying un-
der the turf can be carried out by the dealer.
Both variants can be combined with one another.
