● Reserve wire:
Reserve wire should be installed at
several points to make it easier to
subsequently change the routing of the
perimeter wire. (Ö 12.15)
Mowing areas must not overlap. Maintain
a minimum clearance of ≥ 1m between
the perimeter wires of two mowing areas.
12.2 Making a sketch of the
mowing area
During installation of the robotic
mower and the docking station, it is
recommendable to make a sketch of the
mowing area. A page has been provided at
the start of this Instruction Manual for this
purpose.
The sketch should be modified in the event
of subsequent changes.
Content of the sketch:
– Contour of the mowing area including
important obstacles, borders and any
no-go areas which the robotic mower
must not mow. (Ö 27.)
– Position of the docking station (Ö 9.9)
– Position of perimeter wire
After a short while, the perimeter wire is
overgrown and is no longer visible.
Make a note of the routing of the wire
around obstacles in particular. (Ö 9.10)
– Position of the wire connectors
After a short while, the wire connectors
used are no longer visible. Their
position should be noted in order to
replace them as required. (Ö 12.16)
12.3 Routing the perimeter wire
● Install the docking station. (Ö 9.9)
● Route the perimeter wire around the
mowing area and any obstacles
beginning at the docking station
(Ö 12.9) and fasten it to the ground
using fixing pins. Check the clearances
using the iMow Ruler. (Ö 12.5)
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (Ö 9.10)
● Connect the perimeter wire. (Ö 12.4)
The perimeter wire (1) is routed above
ground and attached with additional fixing
pins (2) in case of unevenness. This
prevents the wire being cut by the mowing
blade.
12.4 Connecting the perimeter wire
● Disconnect the mains plug
and then remove the docking
station cover.
● Insert the perimeter wire into the cable
guides of the floor plate, guide it
through the socket, strip the ends and
connect to the docking station.
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (Ö 9.11)
● Install the docking station
cover and then connect the
mains plug.
● Check the wire signal. (Ö 9.12)
Coiled up residual pieces of
perimeter wire can cause
malfunctions and must be removed.

Only use genuine fixing pins and
genuine perimeter wire.
Installation kits with the necessary
installation material are available as
an accessory from the STIHL
specialist dealer. (Ö 18.)
The routing direction (clockwise or
counterclockwise) is freely
selectable according to
requirements.
Never pull out fixing pins using the
perimeter wire – always use a
suitable tool (e.g. universal pliers).
Make a sketch of the perimeter wire
routing. (Ö 12.2)
Note:
Avoid excessive tensile stress on
the perimeter wire to prevent wire
breaks. In particular when using a
wire routing machine, make sure
that the perimeter wire unwinds
loosely from the spool.
