3. INSTALLATION
3. Installation
This chapter describes how you install the GARDENA
robotic lawnmower. Before starting the installation
read the previous chapter 2. Presentation.
Read also through this entire chapter before beginning
the installation. How the installation is done also
affects how well the robotic lawnmower works. It is
therefore important to plan the installation carefully.
Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the
working area, including all obstacles. This makes it
easier to see the ideal positions for the charging
station, the boundary wire and the guide wire. Draw on
the sketch where the boundary and guide wires should
be routed.
See 7. Garden examples on page 59 for installation
examples.
