• Secure the wire to the ground with pegs. Staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during the first few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will have grown over the wire, making it no longer visible. Use a hammer/plastic mallet and pegs. • Bury the wire. Bury the boundary wire if you want to dethatch or aerate the lawn. If necessary, both methods can be combined so one part of the boundary wire is stapled down and the other is buried. The wire can be buried for instance using an edge cutter or a straight spade. Make sure to lay the boundary wire at least 1 cm / 0.4 in. and a maximum of 20 cm / 8 in. in the ground. 3.5.1 Plan where to lay the boundary wire The boundary wire must be laid so that: • The wire forms a loop around the working area. Use original boundary wire. It is specially designed to resist dampness from the soil. • The robotic lawnmower is never more than 35 m / 14 ft. from the wire at any point in the working area. • The wire is no more than 800 m / ft. long. • About 20 cm / 8 in. of extra wire is available to which the guide wire will be connected later. See Laying the boundary wire on page 18. The illustration below shows how the boundary wire must be laid around the working area and around obstacles. Use the supplied measurement gauge to obtain the correct distance. See Product overview on page 6. 0 cm / 0" 10 cm / 4" 30 cm / 12" 35 cm / 14" 3.5.2 Working area boundaries Depending on what the working area is adjacent to, the boundary wire must be laid at different distances from obstacles. If a high obstacle (5 cm / 2 in. or more), for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm / 14 in. from the obstacle. This will prevent the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear. About 20 cm / 8 in. of the lawn around the fixed obstacle will not be mown. 362 - 002 - 06.02.2018 35 cm/14" > 5 cm/2" If the working area borders a small ditch, a flower bed or a small elevation, for example a low kerbstone (1-5 cm / 0.4-2 in.), the boundary wire should be laid 30 cm / 12 in. inside the working area. This prevents the wheels from driving into the ditch or up onto the kerbstone, which might lead to excessive wear on the robotic Installation - 15
