able to get to the charging station (19) from
any point in the garden.
•
The distance between two guide cables (24)
should amount to at least 0.8 m (Fig. 4a).
•
The guide cable (24) is not allowed to cross
over itself.
•
Make sure there are no obstacles on the gui-
de cable (24).
•
Make sure there are no obstacles within a di-
stance of approx. 30 cm to the left and right of
the guide cable (24) (Fig. 4c). Keep away from
the garden boundary and from overly high
paving stones. If the path runs at ground level
with the lawn you can lay the guide cable (24)
there without leaving a gap.
5.6 Connecting the charging station
Finish laying the complete guide cable (24) before
you connect it to the charging station (19). Use a
wire stripper to remove a length of 10 to 15 mm
of the insulation from the ends of the guide cable
(24) for connecting to the charging station (19).
Pull out the power plug before you connect the
guide cable (24) to the charging station (19). The
end of the guide cable (24) laid to the front side of
the charging station (19) must be run to the back
via the cable holders on the underside of the char-
ging station (19). Check that this end is fastened
securely to the charging station (19) and is con-
nected to the left black connector.
After the guide cable (24) has been laid, pass the
free end through the hole and connect it to the red
connection on the right (Fig. 4d).
Important! The guide cable (24) is not allowed to
cross over itself!
Then connect the power supply. When the ins-
tallation is completed correctly, the LED display
(19a) on the charging station (19) should light up
green permanently. If the LED does not light up,
check the connections fi rst.
If the LED lights up green but not permanently,
read the table entitled "Display on the charging
station and troubleshooting" at the end of these
operating instructions.
5.7 Mowing area - Obstacles and mowing
area boundaries
5.7.1 Lawn boundary
The mowing area must have a precise and fully
enclosing lawn boundary. Familiarize yourself with
GB
the possibilities for defi ning a lawn boundary as
described in this section. Then start at any point of
the lawn boundary with an examination of the gar-
den boundary and follow the boundary in a circle
until you arrive back at your starting point.
Any sections of the work area that you want to
exclude must be enclosed likewise with a precise
lawn boundary. Proceed in the same way as for
the outer boundaries of the mowing area.
•
Bottlenecks
If the lawn area has a bottleneck, your robot
lawn mower will be able to operate there as
long as the corridor has a width of at least 1.2
m and a maximum length of 8 m (Fig. 5a). In
the case of long and narrow bottlenecks, the
robot lawn mower might no longer be able to
fi nd its way back to the charging station (19).
•
Distance from the lawn boundary
When the robot lawn mower approaches the
lawn boundary, this will be detected by the
camera unit (15) at the front of the robot lawn
mower. The lawn-free distance should amount
to at least 30 cm (Fig. 5b). Check that there is
no diff erence in height at the lawn boundary
as the robot lawn mower might travel beyond
the exact lawn boundary before it stops and
sets off again in a diff erent direction. Deeper
lying garden beds or elevated paving edges
might result in damage to the robot lawn
mower. Check the lawn boundaries regularly
because if they become overgrown this could
result in the robot lawn mower leaving the
mowing area. It is also possible for the lawn
boundary to be edged in with fl at path stones
to create a clear separation from the mowing
area.
•
Lawn boundary with water
As a general rule the robot lawn mower will re-
liably recognize the lawn boundary as descri-
bed above. However, given the possibility that
the robot lawn mower will overrun the lawn
boundary we recommend a gap of approx.
50 cm between the lawn boundary and any
water feature (a pond, pool, etc.) (Fig. 5c). Al-
ternatively we recommend isolating the water
feature with a raised all-round edge in order to
protect the robot lawn mower more reliably.
•
Lawn boundary with a raised edge higher
than 25 cm
The robot lawn mower can use the distance
sensors (16) to recognize obstacles with a mi-
nimum height of 25 cm (Fig. 5d). You can also
use high obstacles to demarcate your lawn
boundary. The robot lawn mower will stop at
a distance of approx. 20 cm in front of the
