The cable must be kept taut and never be
allowed to loop or cross over itself. Ideally if
ground is particularly uneven the wire can be
buried up to 15mm deep and pegged down
to secure. This can be achieved easily with
a manual edging tool. If this is not desired
or possible then the wire should be firmly
pegged around the garden with pegs at a
minimum of 1m intervals, keeping the cable
taut to avoid it being cut by the mower, more
so at corners and over uneven terrain.
The cable should be positioned a minimum
of 35cm from the edge of the garden, as the
mower will overlap the wire, although it will
not stray past it.
On corners the cable should not be laid at a
sharp angle or right angle, but curved or a
series of obtuse angles. The mower can detect
a signal from the wire from as much as 20m
away. It should be noted that due to this set
up some areas of the lawn will not get mowed
such as outside the perimeter edges. These
can be maintained using a suitable grass
trimmer.
If the ground where the wires are to be laid
is particularly dry and the soil hard from
lack of rain, it will help to thoroughly water
the garden before attempting to lay your
perimeter wire.

The mower needs a full and complete
perimeter loop in order to operate. The
loop carries a weak electrical signal that
the mower uses to know where it is in
the garden.
