We recommend installing a roof for
the charging station (17) to protect it from weather damage.
Laying the boundary wire
Lay the boundary wire (11) around the lawn area to be worked by the lawn
mower. You can do this as follows:
– Stake out the lawn area. Fasten the boundary wire (11) with the hooks (13)
(above ground).
– Stake out the hooks at a maximum distance of 1 m. Use additional hooks if
the ground is uneven.
– Bury the boundary wire (11) in the ground (max. 5 cm deep).
The lawn mower crosses over the boundary wire by about 20 30 cm before it
turns around and searches for a new path. Install the boundary wire
accordingly to prevent damage.
For the initial installation, we recommend marking out the boundary wire (11)
with the hooks (13) in case corrections need to be made at a later date.
1. Choose a level position for the charging station (17) near a power outlet
with at least 2 m distance from the boundary wire to the front and 1 m to the
rear. Do not fix the charging station until you have laid and connected the
boundary wire. Please refer to “Fixing the charging station” for this.
· The charging station may be inclined max. 8 cm to the rear and max. 2 cm to
the front.
· Remove any unevenness under the charging station. The charging station must
never sag.
· Make sure there is sufficient distance to ponds, pools and steps.
The mower works perfectly with a boundary wire length of up to 200 m. Do not
use a longer boundary wire.
· The lawn area must be bordered as a single enclosed area. Course for laying
line of boundary wire
· Any parallel boundary wires (11) installed at a distance of at least 10 cm
are identified as an obstacle by the lawn mower and are evaded. equal to or
greater than 10 cm (3.94 inches)
· Any parallel boundary wires (11) at a distance of 5 mm or less are not
detected by the lawn mower and are passed over.
49
GB MT
· Avoid creating corners with a 90° angle. Instead, divide them into two 45°
angles (side a 20 cm).
· The lawn mower is able to detect and avoid stationary and fixed obstacles
higher than 10 cm after contact (e.g. walls, garden furniture, etc.). Protect
sensitive obstacles (e.g. flowerbeds) on the lawn area with the boundary wire
(11). at least 30 cm (11.8 inches)
· Keep a distance of at least 1 m between bordered obstacles. Border obstacles
that do not meet this minimum distance as a single obstacle. Course for laying
line of boundary wire at least 1 m (39.37 inches)
· Never cross over the boundary wire. This can lead to faults and failures in
the lawn mower’s operation.
Trees The lawn mower detects trees as a normal obstacle. However, protruding
roots may damage the underside/blades (20). We recommend using the boundary
wire (11) to also border trees.
at least 30 cm (11.8 inches), larger to measure
Rocks · Remove small rocks (lower than
100 mm) from the lawn area. These may damage the device and the blades (20). ·
The lawn mower detects rocks (taller than 100 mm) as normal obstacles. We
recommend using the boundary wire (11) to also border rocks.

Slopes/gradients The lawn mower is able to traverse uphill slopes/gradients up to max. 25° (47%). At a distance of 1 m from the boundary wire, the slope/gradient should not exceed 5.7° (10 %).
Make sure that a distance of at least 30 cm is maintained between
the boundary wire (11) and an obstacle on an uphill gradient and at least 40
cm on a downhill gradient.
Open water areas Open water areas should be bordered by
the boundary wire (11) where possible or designed so that the lawn mower
cannot enter the water. This may seriously damage the device’s electronics.

Setting secondary areas
In highly angular gardens, the area output can be improved, by setting
secondary starting points. In this case, several starting points can be
selected on the perimeter wire. This allows the robotic mower to reach areas
of your garden that are difficult to access. The robotic mower will travel the
selected distance along the boundary wire and start mowing in this area. You
can freely choose 5 further starting points. To do this, measure the distance
between the charging station and the starting point clockwise along the
perimeter wire. You use the frequency in percent to determine how often the
robotic mower starts its work from the charging station or from the respective
starting points. The mowing procedure is still chaotic in this mode.
The secondary starting points are automatically approached during operating
hours and according to schedule.

Working instructions
Regular mowing stimulates the grass to an increased leaf formation, while at
the same time killing weeds. As a result, the lawn becomes denser after each
mowing and an evenly resilient lawn is created. The first cut takes place
roughly in April when the grass is about 7 – 8 cm high. During the main
growing season, the lawn is mowed at least once a week.
3. Unlock the display (10) with the 4-digit PIN.
4. Press the start button (3). 5. Close the cover (1) again.
The lawn mower starts the set operating cycle or resumes its previous activity

needs more than 10 seconds to find a way out. – it is raised
Mowing
There are two different modes: manual mowing and scheduled mowing.
In both modes, the mower automatically runs the boundary wire once after every
seventh activated day and mows this area.
Depending on the nature of the grass (height, thickness), the robotic lawn
mower adjusts its mowing speed to ensure a good result.

Manual mowing
Prerequisites for starting “manual mowing” mode: – The mower must be in
standby mode
to start manual mowing (see section “Switching on and off”, section “Switching
on the mower”). – Starting from the charging station requires a battery
capacity of more than 70%. Otherwise, the mower automatically switches to
charge mode until the capacity is more than 90%, then it automatically leaves
the charging station. – Starting outside the charging station and inside the
boundary wire requires a battery capacity of more than 30%. If the battery
capacity is less than or equal to 30%, the mower automatically returns to the
charging station.
