1.5 Determine Power Box Location
P The Power Box will be connected to the Base Station.
P Select a suitable location for the Power Box to be mounted on
the wall near the plug socket.
P Robomow’s 20 m (65 ft.) Extension Cable will be connected to
the Power Box. The length of the Extension Cable must not be
changed.
The Power Box is suitable for Outdoor use. Yet, it should be placed
in a sheltered, dry, well ventilated spot.
The Power Box should not be exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
1.6 Planning Perimeter Wire Installation
1.6.1 Objects inside Lawn
P Objects such as flower beds, ponds, or small trees need to be protected
by setting “perimeter islands”.
Perimeter Islands are demarcated areas of the lawn, where Robomow
does not enter.
P Obstacles that are vertical, relatively rigid, higher than 15 cm (6 inches),
such as trees, phone or power poles, do not need to be protected by a
perimeter wire. Robomow will turn when it collides with these obstacles.
However, for the gentlest and most silent operation, you may prefer to
create Perimeter Islands around all fixed objects in the working area.
Rigid vertical objects (such as pipes) with
a diameter smaller than 5 cm (2 inches) must
be protected by a Perimeter Island. This will
prevent such objects from being trapped by
the mower’s body and damage to the lawn.
P Areas where obstacles are grouped closely
together, should be demarcated by a single,
continuous, Perimeter Island.
1.6.2 Slopes
Perimeter Slope
P The Perimeter Wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10%
(0.35 ft rise per 3.3 ft).
CAUTION! If the Perimeter Wire is laid across a slope steeper than 15%, it
may cause the mower to slip, especially when the grass is wet, and to cross
the wire outside.
) However, if there is a barrier (e.g. fence or wall) that can protect
the mower from slipping off, the Perimeter Wire can be set on that
slope.
In Lawn Slope
P Robomow can mow areas inside the working area that slope up to 35%
(1.1 rise per 3.3 ft).
P Tip: If the mower tilts off the ground while climbing a slope, it is too
steep. Exclude this steep area from Robomow’s cutting area.
