Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup
A pond, swimming pool, or watercourse at lawn’s edge 2.2.3
OR:
Grass level more than 70 cm (2 ft) higher than outer area.
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. This will )
block Robomow, under all circumstances, from crossing
over the Perimeter Wire into the water area.
If such a barrier exists, you may set the Perimeter Wire at )
the regular distance of 30 cm around island or 45 cm from
the lawn’s edge.
Slopes 2.2.4
Perimeter slope
If a slope is steeper than 15 cm rise per 1 meter (0.5 ft rise per 3.3 ft), ❍
do NOT lay Perimeter Wire over it.
However, if there is a barrier (e.g. fence, wall, or hedge) that )
can protect the mower from sliding off, the Perimeter Wire
can be set on that slope.
In-lawn slopes
Robomow can mow areas that have less than a 27% slope ❍
(roughly 27 cm per 1 meter / 0.9 ft rise per 3 ft).
Tip: If Robomow tilts off the ground while climbing a slope, it is ❍
too steep.
Exclude this steep area from Robomow’s cutting area.
Fastening Perimeter Wire to the Ground2.3
It is not necessary to bury the perimeter wire, though you may do so, up ❍
to 10 cm (4 inches) deep.
Upon hammering the peg to its final depth in the ground, pull the wire ❍
tight.
WARNING!
Protect your eyes!
Protect your hands!
Use proper eye protection and wear appropriate work gloves when
hammering the pegs. Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break
when driving them in.
Watering the lawn where the pegs are to be inserted can make
your work safer.
