3. INSTALLATION
If the working area borders against a small ditch, for
example, a flower bed or a small elevation, e.g. a low
verge (1" - 2")((3 - 5 cm), the boundary wire should
be laid 12" (30 cm) inside the working area. This
prevents the wheels from driving into the ditch or up
onto the verge.
If the working area borders against a flat path or the
like that lies level with the lawn, it is possible to allow
Automower™ to run a little over the path. The
boundary wire should then be laid 4" (10 cm) from the
edge of the path.
When the working area is divided by a flat slab path
that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow
Automower™ to run over the path. It can be an
advantage to lay the boundary wire under the slabs.
The boundary wire can also be laid in the joint
between the slabs.
Note! Automower™ must never run over a gravel
path or similar material, which can damage the
blades.
When Automower™ searches for the charging station
or follows the loop according to the function Follow
loop (3-2) (see page 51), it runs along the side of the
boundary wire at a specific distance. The Corridor
width (3-2-3) function determines the distance from the
boundary wire that the mower shall run. It is
recommended to state as high a Corridor width value
as possible. A high Corridor width value reduces the
risk of tracks forming. For more information about
Corridor width (3-2-3), see page 54.
In exceptional cases Automower™ can be set to
straddle the boundary wire, that is to say, half the
mower inside the loop and the other half outside. The
boundary wire must then be kept at a distance of
about 16" (40 cm) from all the boundaries of the
working area and from the edges of a passage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the working area is adjacent to water
bodies, slopes or precipices, the boundary
wire should be supplemented with a fence or
the like. The height must then be at least 6"
(15 cm). This will prevent Automower™ from
ending up outside the working area under
any circumstances.
