6.5 Transporting the machine
Before transporting, and especially before
lifting the robotic mower, activate the
disabling device. (Ö 5.2)
Allow the machine to cool down before
transporting.
Avoid contact with the mowing blade when
lifting and carrying the machine. The
robotic mower must only be lifted at both
carrying handles. Never reach under the
machine.
Take the weight of the machine into
account and use suitable loading aids
(lifters) if required.
Secure the machine and other machine
parts being transported (e.g. docking
station) on the load floor using fastening
materials (straps, ropes, etc.) of an
adequate size at the fastening points
described in this instruction manual.
(Ö 21.)
When transporting the machine, always
observe regional legislation, especially
regarding load security and the transport
of objects on load floors.
Do not leave the battery inside a vehicle
and never expose it to direct sunlight.
Lithium-ion batteries must be treated with
special care during transport. In particular,
short-circuit protection must be ensured.
Only transport the battery in the robotic
mower.
6.6 Before initial operation
It must be ensured that all persons who
use the machine are familiar with the
instruction manual.
Carefully follow the instructions for
installing the docking station (Ö 9.1) and
perimeter wire (Ö 12.).
The perimeter wire and the power cable
must be securely fastened to the ground
so that they do not present a tripping
hazard. Avoid routing the perimeter wire
and power cable over edges (e.g. edges of
pathways or paving stones). When routing
the perimeter wire and power cable on
ground into which the supplied fixing pins
cannot be driven (e.g. paving stones,
pathways), a cable duct must be used.
Correct routing of the perimeter wire and
power cable must be regularly checked.
To prevent the risk of stumbling, always
drive in the fixing pins all the way.
Do not install the docking station in a place
where it is difficult to see and could
become a tripping hazard (e.g. around the
corner of a house).
If possible, install the docking station out of
the reach of pests such as ants or slugs –
in particular avoid the area around anthills
and composting units.
Areas in which the robotic mower cannot
operate safely (e.g. due to danger of
falling) must be blocked off through
appropriate routing of the perimeter wire.
STIHL recommends that the robotic
mower is only operated on lawns and
surfaced paths (e.g. paved drives).
The robotic mower does not detect any
sudden drops such as edges, steps,
swimming pools or ponds. If the perimeter
wire is routed along potential sudden
drops, a clearance of at least 1m must be
maintained between the perimeter wire
and the danger area for safety reasons.
Regularly inspect the area on which the
machine is to be used and remove any
sticks, stones, wires, bones and all other
foreign objects that could be thrown up by
the machine.
After installing the perimeter wire,
particularly remove all tools from the
mowing area. Broken or damaged fixing
pins must be removed from the lawn and
disposed of.
Regularly check the area to be mown for
uneven areas and level them out.
Never use the machine with damaged
safety devices or with safety devices
removed.
The switch and safety devices installed in
the machine must not be removed or
bypassed.
All faulty, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced before using the machine.
Replace any illegible or damaged danger
signs and warnings on the machine. Your
STIHL specialist has a supply of
replacement stickers and all the other
spare parts.
Before initial operation, it must be ensured
– that the machine is in good operational
condition. This means that the covers,
guards and the flap must be in place
and in good condition.
– that the docking station is in a safe
operating condition. Here, all covers
must be properly installed and be in
good condition.
– that the power supply unit has been
connected to a properly installed
socket.
– that the insulation of the electric cable
and the mains plug on the power supply
unit is in good condition.
