Preparing mowing areas
► Remove any objects lying around.
► Remove metals, magnetic materials and mate‐
rials that conduct electricity as well as old
perimeter wires.
► Mow lawns with a lawn mower to the cutting
height that will later be set for the operation of
the robot mower. The default setting for the
cutting height on the robot mower is a = 6 cm.
► Level out holes and rough, uneven patches.
► Where ground is hard and dry, slightly moisten
the mowing area to make driving the anchor‐
ing stakes easier.
► As a result of its design, the robot mower
leaves a strip with unmown lawn along unnavi‐
gable areas. This strip can be used, for exam‐
ple, to sow flower seeds and create areas with
blossoming vegetation for insects.
► If you want to mow without leaving an edge
along inaccessible areas: Install edging stones
or flagstones with a minimum width of
a = 24 cm along these areas.
