Close the flap of the robotic 
mower. (Ö 15.2) Only once the flap has 
been closed does the robotic mower start 
automatically and follow the edge along 
the perimeter wire.
As the robotic mower follows the edge, 
walk behind it and ensure
– that the robotic mower follows the edge 
of the mowing area as planned,
– that the clearances to obstacles and the 
borders of the mowing area are correct,
– that docking in and out takes place 
correctly.
The distance covered is shown on the 
display – this metric specification is 
required for setting starting points at the 
edge of the mowing area. (Ö 11.14)
● Read off the displayed value at the 
required location and write it down. 
Manually set starting points after initial 
installation.
The following of edges is automatically 
interrupted by obstacles, during operation 
on excessively steep slopes or by pressing 
the STOP button.
● If edge following has been interrupted 
automatically, correct the position of the 
perimeter wire and remove any 
obstacles.
● Check the position of the robotic mower 
before continuing edge following. The 
machine must either be located on the 
perimeter wire or within the mowing 
area with the front facing the perimeter 
wire.
Continuation following interruption:
After an interruption, continue edge 
following with OK.
The robotic mower docks after one 
complete circuit around the mowing area. 
The system then queries as to whether a 
second circuit in the opposite direction 
should be started.
Automatic completion of edge 
following:
The next step of the installation assistant is 
called up when the robotic mower docks 
following the second complete circuit or if 
edge following in the opposite direction is 
refused.
The robotic mower alternately 
follows the edge of the mowing 
area in both directions during 
running operation after initial 
installation. Edge following should 
therefore also be checked in both 
directions during initial installation.
Edge following is used to define the 
home area of the robotic mower. 
(Ö 14.5)
If the robotic mower is not receiving 
a GPS signal before starting edge 
following, the text "Waiting for GPS" 
appears on the display. The robotic 
mower starts edge following after a 
few minutes despite no GPS signal 
being received. The "Test edge" 
function (Ö 11.13) must be 
performed later in order to use GPS 
protection, as otherwise no home 
area is defined.
It is recommended by STIHL not to 
interrupt edge following. Possible 
problems when following the edge 
of the mowing area or when 
docking may not be recognised.
Edge following can be repeated 
following initial installation if 
necessary. (Ö 11.13)
