4.5.6 Creating loops of cable (11)
Spare loops of cable should be incorporated at
regular intervals in order to reposition the base
station or to extend the mowing area even after
the mowing area has been laid out.
Select the number of spare cable loops according
to your own judgement.
NOTE In the case of spare cable loops, do
not form open loops.
1. Lead the boundary cable around the current
lawn peg (11/1) and then back to the previ-
ous lawn peg (11/3).
2. Then lead the boundary cable to the current
lawn peg again. This creates a loop. The ca-
bles must be close together.
3. If necessary, attach the loop to the ground in
the middle with an additional lawn peg (11/2).
4.5.7 Typical faults in cable routing (06)
■
Spare cable loops of the boundary cable are
not laid in an even, elongated loop (06/a).
■
The boundary cable is not routed properly
around corners (06/b).
■
The boundary cable is crossed over or not
routed clockwise (06/c).
■
The boundary cable is routed too imprecisely
so that edge areas of the grass surface can-
not be mowed (06/d).
■
The boundary cable is not routed lying direct-
ly next to itself when guided towards and
back from the edge to an obstacle inside the
lawn (06/e).
■
The start points are set too far away from the
base station (06/f).
■
The boundary cable is routed beyond the
edge of the grass surface (06/g).
■
When routing the boundary cable, the mini-
mum distance for corridors of 20 cm is under-
cut (06/h).
■
The boundary cable is routed too close (i.e.
at a distance of less than 20 cm) to obstacles
that cannot be driven over (06/i).
4.6 Connecting the base station to the
power source (08)
1. Place the power supply (08/4) in a dry loca-
tion that is protected against direct sunlight
and sufficiently close to the base station
(08/1).

2. Connect the low voltage cable of the power
supply (08/5) and the cable of the base sta-
tion (08/6) with each other.
3. Plug the power plug of the power supply
(08/2) into a power socket (08/3).
NOTE We recommend connecting the
power supply to the mains supply via an earth
leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a rated leak-
age current < 30 mA.
4.7 Checking the connections on the base
station (08)
1. Check whether the LED on the front side of
the charging station (13/1) is lit. If not:
■
Disconnect the mains plug.
■
Check that all plug connectors of the
power source and the boundary cable
are positioned correctly and check for
damage.

5 START-UP
This chapter describes the activities and settings
that are necessary to put the appliance into oper-
ation for the first time. For all further settings, re-
fer to see chapter 7 "Settings", page 50.
5.1 Charging the rechargeable battery (12)
During normal operation, the battery of the appli-
ance is regularly charged automatically.
NOTE Fully charge the rechargeable bat-
tery before using it for the first time. The re-
chargeable battery can be charged in any charge
status. Interrupting charging does not damage
the rechargeable battery. The rechargeable bat-
tery can only be charged after the appliance has
been switched on.
1. Place the appliance (12/1) in the base station
(12/3) so the contact surfaces of the appli-
ance touch the charging contacts of the base
station.
2. Switch on the appliance with
3. The display on the appliance shows Bat-
tery is being recharged. If not: see
chapter 13 "Help in case of malfunction",
page 56.
