fault.
Symptoms
Cause
Action
The robotic lawnmow-
er has difficulty dock-
ing.
The boundary wire is not laid in a long
straight line that is far enough out from the
charging station.
Check that the charging station has been in-
stalled according to the instructions in
Laying
the boundary wire on page 18
The guide wire is not inserted in the slot un-
der the charging station.
It is critical for operation that the guide wire is
perfectly straight and is in the correct position
under the charging station. Therefore make
sure that the guide wire is always in its slot in
the charging station. See
Laying and con-
necting the guide wire on page 20
.
The charging station is on a slope.
Place the charging station on a surface that is
entirely level. See
Best charging station loca-
tion on page 12
.
Uneven mowing re-
sults.
The robotic lawnmower works too few hours
per day.
Increase the mowing time. See
Timer on
page 24
.
The
