��� Chapter 1 � Planning � � Planning ���� Before starting the setup, please read this chapter fully and watch the setup DVD. This will help you determine the best location for the Base Station ������ ���� ������ , for the perimeter wire layout, or for the perimeter switch. ��� 1.1 ���� Determine Base Station location Robomow’s Base Station is placed along the Perimeter Wire. This is where the wire “loop” starts and ends.
���� Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 ������ ���� 1.1.3 Determine location o Power Supply �� Indoor power supply fixed to the wall � ❍ �The Base Station should be close enough (15 m/50 ft) to ❍ a wall electrical socket (230V / 120V). The indoor Power � Supply unit will be connected to it. � Max 15 m (50 ft) ❍❍ Robomow’s 15 m (50 ft) low voltage cable connects to the power supply unit. The length of the low voltage cable must NOT be changed.
Planning 1.2.3 Will Robomow be driving through a narrow pass in order to move between two connected zones? A narrow pass is part of the lawn that connects two larger zones. The width of this pass determines how it should be set-up. If the pass… Setup: Is walled (fence, building, etc) and width is More than 2.00m (6.6 ft) OR Edge of pass is an open area and width is more than 1.70m (5.6 ft) Is walled (fence, building, etc) and width is 1.5m – 2.00m (4.9 – 6.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup Chapter 2 Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup ����� � Recommendation, before you sta t: ���� During setup, you will insert pegs into the ground. To make this task smoother, we recommend you mow your lawn and water it be ore starting. Hammer Getting Ready Confirm all parts needed for setup are within reach (refer to ‘What’s in the ��� Box, Introduction).
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 ������ ���� ❍�❍ � If setting of Base Station is external (outside lawn) )) Peg the beginning of the wire to the ground, at a distance of 1m (3.3 feet). )) Pull out 40 cm (16 inches) of wire and leave it loose at the Base Station location. This allows for later adjustments of the Base Station. )) Start laying the wire in a counter-clockwise direction at the external area of the Base Station. ●● Continue laying the wire for at least 30 cm (12 inch) away from the lawn.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup ������ 2.1.2 ���� Laying ��� the Perimeter Wire �❍❍ The Perimeter Wire is secured to the ground by the pegs supplied with Robomow. Insert pegs every few meters and at corners. At this early stage set a minimum number of pegs. Later, after testing the wire setup, you will insert all necessary pegs. Area outside perimeter - same basic level and free of obstacles. ❍❍ Continue laying the wire, according to your plan.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 Caution! Setting the Perimeter Wire counter-clockwise around the obstacle will cause Robomow to drive into the island. ❍❍ Complete bordering the island and return to the spot that where you have left the lawn’s edge. ❍❍ The wires leading to the Island and returning from it should be parallel and touching. BUT DO NOT cross them! ❍❍ Peg both wires, to and from the island, together with the same peg. Robomow will not recognize these two wires.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup 2.2.3 A pond, swimming pool, or watercourse at lawn’s edge OR: Grass level more than 70 cm (2 ft) higher than outer area. At least 1.2 m (4 ft) ❍❍ Set the Perimeter Wire at least 1.2 m (4 ft) from the water (or chasm). ❍❍ You may provide a fence or another barrier along the lawn’s edge by the water, so Robomow will surely detect it. )) The barrier should be at least 15 cm (6 inch) high.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 ❍❍ Insert the pegs at distances that will keep the wire down below the grass level and prevent the wire from becoming a tripping hazard ❍❍ The wire and the pegs will soon become invisible under the growth of new grass. ����� ❍❍ If additional wire is required in order to complete the setup connect it using the water proof wire connectors supplied with Robomow. (Refer to paragraph 10.7 – Splicing the Perimeter Wire).
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup ������ ���� 2.5 ���� Assembling the Base Station 2.5.1 ���� Laying and fastening power cord Safety Avoid injury!

Tips for maintaining your lawn Chapter 12 Tips for maintaining your lawn Robomow®- Lawn care has never been so easy Best time to mow Mow your lawn when the grass is dry. This prevents the clippings from clumping and leaving piles on the lawn. Mow it late in the day rather than during the heat of the day. Mowing frequency Mow often, producing short, small clippings. During the active growing season the mowing frequency should be increased to once every 3-5 days, before the grass is too long.
