2. Fill in holes and hollows to stop rainwater forming
pools of water. The product may be damaged if it is
operated in pools of water. See

.
3. Read carefully through all the steps before the
installation.
4. Check that all parts for the installation are included.

• Robotic lawnmower
• Charging station
• Loop wire for boundary loop and guide wire
• Power supply
• Low voltage cable
• Pegs
• Connectors for the loop wire
• Screws for the charging station
• Measurement gauge
• Couplers for the loop wire
• Cable markers
3.2.1 Installation tools
During installation you will also need:
• Hammer/plastic mallet (to simplify putting the pegs
in the ground).
• Combination pliers for cutting the boundary wire and
pressing the connectors together.
• Multigrip pliers (for pressing the couplers together).
• Edge cutter/straight spade if the boundary wire is to
be buried.
3.3 Charging station
The charging station has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary wire.
• To send control signals in the guide wire so that the
robotic lawnmower can find the charging station.
• To charge the robotic lawnmower battery.
3.3.1 Best charging station location
Take the following aspects into consideration when
identifying the best location for the charging station:
• Allow minimum 2 m of free space in front of the
charging station.
• The positioning of the charging station is flexible.
However, it is recommended that the boundary wire
is not closer to itself (parallel) than 60 cm / 24 in.
Otherwise the robotic lawnmower can have
difficulties finding the charging station. See
Laying
the boundary wire in towards the charging station on
page 17
.
• It must be close to a wall socket. The supplied low
voltage cable is 5 m long.
• A level surface free from sharp objects to place the
charging station on.
• Protection from direct sunlight.
• Place it in the lower part of a working area that has a
major slope.
• Possible requirement to keep the charging station
out of sight for outsiders.
