3.1.1 Main components for installation
The installation of the robotic lawnmower involves 4
main components:
1. A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by
essentially operating in a random pattern.
2. A charging station, to where the robotic lawnmower
returns when the battery level becomes too low.
3. A power supply, which is connected to the charging
station and a 100-240V wall socket. The power
supply is connected to the wall socket and to the
charging station using a 10 m long low voltage
cable. Low voltage cables with 3 m and 20 m length
are available as optional accessories. No parts of
the power supply must be changed or tampered
with. For example the low voltage cable must not be
shortened or extended.
4. Loop wire, which is laid around the edges of the
lawn and around objects and plants that the robotic
lawnmower must not run into. The loop wire is used
both as a boundary wire and a guide wire. The
maximum permitted length for the boundary loop is
400 m.
3.2 Preparations
Read 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.
Visit www.gardena.com for further descriptions and tips
regarding installation.
1. If the lawn in the working area is longer than 10 cm
mow it using a standard lawnmower. Collect the
grass.
2. Fill in holes and hollows to stop rainwater forming
pools of water. The product may be damaged if it is
operated in pools of water. See Warranty on page
52 .
3. Read carefully through all the steps before the
installation.
