unit, reverse and turn so that it can continue
mowing in the other direction. Soft, unstable
and valuable obstacles need to be protected
by a perimeter wire island.
•
Stones and low obstacles
Stones, rocks and low obstacles of less than
10 cm in the mowing area need to be protec-
ted, because otherwise the robot lawn mower
could run over them. If not, this could result
in the robot lawn mower getting damaged or
blocked.
•
Trees (Fig. 6k)
The robot lawn mower treats trees as obsta-
cles. However, where any tree roots project
above the ground to a height of less than 10
cm, the area in which they are located needs
to be protected. This will prevent damage to
the roots and to the robot lawn mower. Make
sure that the minimum distance between the
perimeter wire (18) and the obstacle is 30 cm.
5.6 Connecting the charging station
Finish laying the complete perimeter wire (18)
before you connect it to the charging station.
Keep an extra length of 1 m of perimeter wire (18)
at each end so that you can make further adjust-
ments at a later time.
Using a wire stripper, remove a length of 10 to 15
mm of the insulation at the ends of the perimeter
wire (18) for connecting to the charging station
(19).
Pull out the power plug before you connect the
perimeter wire (18) to the charging station (19).
The perimeter wire (18) laid to the front end of the
charging station (19) must be run to the back via
the cable holders on the underside of the char-
ging station (19). Pass the front perimeter wire
(18) through the guides under the charging stati-
on and through the hole prepared in the connec-
tion area. Connect this wire to the "+" connection.
Then connect the rear perimeter wire (18) to the
"S1" connection (Fig. 7a).
Important! Perimeter wires (18) must not
cross over!
Then connect the power supply. The LED indica-
tor (21) on the charging station (19) should light
up green and stay on permanently. If the LED
does not light up, check the connections fi rst. If
the LED lights up green but not permanently, read
the "Indicators on the charging station and trou-
bleshooting" table at the end of these operating
instructions.

5.7 Switching on and checking the
installation
As soon as the LED indicator (21) on the charging
station (19) lights up green, the mowing area is
ready for the robot lawn mower. Please check fi rst
that all the fastening pegs (14) on the perimeter
wire (18) have been fully tapped in. Place the ro-
bot lawn mower about 3 m to the rear of the char-
ging station (19) in front of the perimeter wire (18).
The robot lawn mower needs to be facing the
perimeter wire (18) at an angle of 90° (Fig. 7b).
Switch on the main switch (7)(ON)(Fig. 8).
Press the POWER button (51) on the control
panel (2) for two seconds. Unlock the robot lawn
mower by entering the PIN (see the section "Lo-
cking mechanism/PIN").
Press the "HOME" button (53). The robot lawn
mower will now follow the perimeter wire (18) in
a counterclockwise direction. Observe the robot
lawn mower during the complete trip along the
perimeter wire (18) until it is back in the charging
station (19). If the robot lawn mower has any
problems at any points, correct the perimeter
wire (18) if necessary and repeat the operation.
The rechargeable battery (22) of the robot lawn
mower will now be fully charged. If any problems
occur with docking, you may need to reposition
the charging station (19) sideways until docking
works without any problems.
To stop the robot lawn mower at any time, press
the red STOP button (3). When you press the
STOP button (3), the robot lawn mower will come
to a stop and wait for further instructions.
5.8 Securing the charging station
Once the robot lawn mower is working properly
and a suitable position for the charging station
(19) has been found, the charging station (19)
must be fi xed in place using the fastening screws
(15). Use the hexagon key (25) to secure the fas-
tening screws (15) fully in the ground (Fig. 7c).
5.9 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 13b)
Press the button for the battery capacity indicator.
The battery capacity indicator shows the charge
status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED fl ashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
