4. Check that all parts for the installation are included. See Product overview on page 6. • Robotic lawnmower • Charging station • Power supply • Low voltage cable • Screws for the charging station • Measurement gauge 3.2.1 Installation tools During installation you will also need: • Hammer/plastic mallet (to simplify putting the pegs in the ground). • Combination pliers for cutting the boundary wire and pressing the connectors together. • Multigrip pliers (for pressing the couplers together). • Edge cutter/straight spade if the boundary wire is to be buried. 3 m / 10 ft 2 m / 7 ft Avoid putting the charging station in confined spaces or in a corner. This can make it difficult for the robotic mower to find the charging station. 3.3 Charging station The charging station has 3 functions: • To send control signals along the boundary wire. • To send control signals in the guide wire so that the robotic lawnmower can find the charging station. • To charge the robotic lawnmower battery. 3.3.1 Best charging station location Consider the following recommendations when identifying the best location for the charging station: • Allow minimum 3 m / 10 ft. of free space in front of the charging station. • Lay minimum 1.5 m / 5 ft. of boundary wire straight out to the right and left of the charging station. • Place the charging station close to a wall socket. The supplied low voltage cable is 10 m / 33 ft. long. • Place the charging station on a level surface free from sharp objects. • Protect the charging station from water spray, for instance from irrigation. • Protect the charging station from direct sunlight. The charging process is affected by the ambient temperature. • Place the charging station in the lower part of a working area that has a major slope. • Consider if the charging station should be placed out of sight for outsiders. The charging station must be positioned on level ground. The front end of the charging station cannot be positioned higher or lower than the back end according to picture below. max. 5 cm / 2" max. 5 cm / 2" The charging station must not be positioned in a way that can bend its base plate. If the installation is done in a working area with a steep slope, the charging station should be placed at the bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire to the charging station. 12 - Installation 362 - 002 - 06.02.2018

3.2.1 Installation tools
During installation you will also need:
•
Hammer/plastic mallet (to simplify putting the pegs
in the ground).
•
Combination pliers for cutting the boundary wire and
pressing the connectors together.
•
Multigrip pliers (for pressing the couplers together).
•
Edge cutter/straight spade if the boundary wire is to
be buried.
3.3 Charging station
The charging station has 3 functions:
•
To send control signals along the boundary wire.
•
To send control signals in the guide wire so that the
robotic lawnmower can find the charging station.
•
To charge the robotic lawnmower battery.
3.3.1 Best charging station location
Consider the following recommendations when
identifying the best location for the charging station:
•
Allow minimum 3 m / 10 ft. of free space in front of
the charging station.
•
Lay minimum 1.5 m / 5 ft. of boundary wire straight
out to the right and left of the charging station.
•
Place the charging station close to a wall socket.
The supplied low voltage cable is 10 m / 33 ft. long.
•
Place the charging station on a level surface free
from sharp objects.
•
Protect the charging station from water spray, for
instance from irrigation.
•
Protect the charging station from direct sunlight. The
charging process is affected by the ambient
temperature.
•
Place the charging station in the lower part of a
working area that has a major slope.
•
Consider if the charging station should be placed out
of sight for outsiders.
3 m / 10 ft
2 m / 7 ft
Avoid putting the charging station in confined spaces or
in a corner. This can make it difficult for the robotic
mower to find the charging station.
The charging station must be positioned on level
ground. The front end of the charging station cannot be
positioned higher or lower than the back end according
to picture below.
max. 5 cm / 2"
max. 5 cm / 2"
The charging station must not be positioned in a way
that can bend its base plate.
If the installation is done in a working area with a steep
slope, the charging station should be placed at the
bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic
lawnmower to follow the guide wire to the charging
station.
