INSTALLATION AND LOCATION OF
CHARGING STATION
The charging station must be placed
in the vicinity of a 230V power outlet.
Alternatively, an extension cable can be
pulled out to the desired position of the
charging station.
The flat entrance area of the charging
station must face to the right.
The charging station can be placed in
2 ways:
1. Along one of the sides (A)
2. In a corner (B)
If a corner location is chosen, ensure
that the boundary wire can pass behind
the charging station as close to the
backplate as possible (<1 cm) and into
the connector, as shown in the illus-
tration (B). In this case, there will be a
small area behind the charging station
that cannot be mowed. This area could
be paved with tiles or stones instead of
grass.
Note: It is recommended that you have
1-2 m of extra cable if possible. See sec-
tion ‘Connecting the boundary wire’.
The charging station must be placed
on a completely flat surface and there
needs to be a straight stretch of at least
1 metre in front of the charging station
to ensure the robotic mower has the
correct entry to the charging station.
It is important that you observe this
requirement.
Lightning protection
To protect the robotic mower from
lightning strikes, it is recommended
that you do not place the charging sta-
tion under or near a tall tree. Similarly,
extension cords for charging stations
must not be run around tall trees.
It is recommended that you do not
operate the robotic mower during
thunderstorms to prevent damage to
electronic components from lightning
strikes. Likewise, it is recommended
that you completely disconnect the
charging station from its power supply
during a thunderstorm. If possible, it
is advised that you also disconnect
the boundary wire from the charging
station.
