the same fastening peg (14). (Fig. 6i)
•
The robot lawn mower will run over the two
parallel perimeter wires (18) in the mowing
area, but the robot lawn mower will stop whe-
re single perimeter wires (18) are laid.
5.5.9 Obstacles
•
Obstacles with a height over 10 cm
(Fig. 6j)
Solid obstacles which are over 10 cm in
height, e.g. trees, walls, fences, garden furni-
ture, etc., are detected by the collision sen-
sors. If the robot lawn mower collides with an
obstacle, it will stop and turn. After colliding
twice within a short amount of time, the robot
lawn mower will switch off the mower unit. It
will turn and switch the mower unit back on a
few meters away. Soft, unstable and valuable
obstacles need to be protected by a perime-
ter 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 left 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).
Connect this perimeter wire (18) to the connec-
tion on the left (red). Then pass the other perime-

GB
ter wire (18) through the guide in the connection
area and connect it to the connection on the right
(black) (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
robot lawn mower about 3 m to the rear of the
charging 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). Unlock the robot lawn mower by entering the
PIN (see the section "Locking mechanism / PIN").
Press the "Home" button and confi rm with the
"OK" button. The robot lawn mower will now follow
the perimeter wire (18) in a clockwise direction.
Observe the robot lawn mower during the com-
plete 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 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 (22) to secure the fas-
tening screws (15) fully in the ground. (Fig. 7c)
