Make sure that you place plastic pegs
at the lowest points on the lawn so that
the cable is held tightly down against
the grass throughout. Closer spacing
than 80 cm may be necessary.
Corners
When you come to a corner in your
garden, it is important that the cable
turns in a gentle arc and does not
follow the corner at a 90° angle. Use
several plastic pegs to get the optimal
arc. The cable must be at least 20 cm
from the edge at all points.
Obstacles in the garden
Fixed obstacles in the garden higher
than 100 mm, such as walls, fences,
garden furniture, poles etc., do not
need to be protected with the boundary
cable as the robot's obstacle sensors
will detect a collision with the obstacle
and stop, turn around and find a new
direction of travel.
Trees
Most trees in the garden will be seen
by the robotic lawnmower as a ‘fixed’
obstacle and therefore do not need
protecting.
Certain cone-shaped trees with ex-
posed roots lower than 100 mm must
be protected with the boundary cable.
This is to avoid the robot driving on the
roots and getting stuck or damaging
the blades and undercarriage.
Remove fallen fruit and branches
Fallen fruit and branches can stop the
robotic lawnmower. Always clear the
lawn of these items to avoid downtime.
Especially in September-October when
many apples fall from apple trees.
These can cause the robot to stop. If
the area under apple trees is included
in the robot's cutting area, be prepared
to remove the apples before operating
the robot.
Alternatively, the area under apple
trees should be left out when laying the
boundary cable.
Stones
If there are stones in the robot's cutting
area, it is important to assess whether
the edge of the stone is higher or lower
than 100 mm, as well as whether the
stone needs to be protected or not. This
is to avoid damaging the robot.
