If the above conditions cannot be met,
it may be necessary to increase the
distance. This depends on the specific
garden design. It is recommended that
you allow at least 1 cm extra distance as
the boundary cable may shift slightly
over time as the grass root network
grows.
If you create an obstacle using the
boundary cable (e.g. around a flower
bed in the middle of the lawn or a
sunken swimming pool/ trampoline), it
is recommended that you increase the
distance to 25-30 cm to minimise the
risk of the lawnmower falling in.
Preparation:
First, find the loose end of the cable
on the cable reel. Next, find the plastic
pegs. Use a ruler or homemade spacer
to measure an even and correct
distance to the grass edge/obstacles,
e.g. 20 cm. You will also need a
hammer, clamping pliers and scissors/
cutting pliers to cut the cable (not
included).
Remember: To use the lawnmower, the
grass must not be higher than 60 mm,
if it is, you will need to cut it first with a
conventional lawnmower (with a grass
collection box). It is recommended that
you cut the grass down to 35-40 mm
before installing the robot.
Laying the boundary cable
Start with the cable at the charging
station and place a piece under it,
extending about 50 cm further back,
so that there is plenty of cable to work
with when connecting it to the power
sockets at the charging station.
Roll out the boundary cable in a
clockwise direction, lay it on the grass
and secure it with the plastic pegs. You
do not need to bury the cable in the
ground. Within a few months, the grass
will have grown over the cable and it
will not be visible.
(If you want to bury it, lay it about 2 cm
below the surface of the grass)
REMEMBER: Keep at least 20 cm
distance from the grass edge/obstacles.
Use a ruler or homemade measuring
stick for this.
If there are hedges, flowers or plants
hanging over the lawn, increase the
distance here. It is important that the
robot can pass freely without hitting
branches etc.
NOTE: The maximum permitted length
of the boundary cable is 300 m.
Now lay out the boundary cable around
the garden according to your sketch.
Place the plastic pegs about 80 cm apart
on straight sections and closer together
at corners or bends.
The closer to the ground the cable
is laid, the less risk there is of falling
over the cable or of it being cut by the
robotic lawnmower. The current in
the boundary cable is only 20V and
therefore poses no danger to humans
or animals.
Make sure that the cable is correctly
positioned in the plastic peg (see
picture) before it is knocked into the
ground.
