– Position of the wire connectors
After a short while, the wire connectors 
used are no longer visible. Their 
position should be noted in order to 
replace them as required. (Ö 12.16)
12.3 Routing the perimeter wire
● Install the docking station. (Ö 9.8)
● Route the perimeter wire around the 
mowing area and any obstacles 
beginning at the docking station 
(Ö 12.9) and fasten it to the ground 
using fixing pins. Check the clearances 
using the iMOW® Ruler. (Ö 12.5)
Follow the instructions in the "Initial 
installation" section. (Ö 9.9)
● Connect the perimeter wire. (Ö 9.10)
The perimeter wire (1) is routed above 
ground and attached with additional fixing 
pins (2) in case of unevenness. This 
prevents the wire being cut by the mowing 
blade. 
12.4 Connecting the perimeter wire
● Disconnect the mains plug 
and then remove the docking 
station cover.
● Insert the perimeter wire into the cable 
guides of the floor plate, guide it 
through the socket, strip the ends and 
connect to the docking station.
Follow the instructions in the "Initial 
installation" section. (Ö 9.10)
● Install the docking station 
cover and then connect the 
mains plug.
● Check the wire signal. (Ö 9.11)
● Check docking. (Ö 15.6)
If necessary, correct the position of the 
perimeter wire in the area of the 
docking station.
12.5 Wire clearances – use 
iMOW® Ruler
The perimeter wire (1) can be routed 
without clearance along obstacles that 
can be travelled on such as patios and 
paths. The robotic mower then travels with 
one rear wheel outside the mowing area.
Maximum stepped area to the turf: +/-
1cm
Measuring wire clearances with the 
iMOW® Ruler:
To ensure the correct clearance from the 
perimeter wire to the edge of the lawn and 
to obstacles, the iMOW® Ruler should be 
used for measuring the distances.
High obstacle:
Clearance between a high 
obstacle and the perimeter wire. 
Only use genuine fixing pins and 
genuine perimeter wire. 
Installation kits with the necessary 
installation material are available as 
an accessory from the STIHL 
specialist dealer. (Ö 18.)
The routing direction (clockwise or 
counterclockwise) is freely 
selectable according to 
requirements.
Never pull out fixing pins using the 
perimeter wire – always use a 
suitable tool (e.g. universal pliers).
Make a sketch of the perimeter wire 
routing. (Ö 12.2)
Note:
Avoid excessive tensile stress on 
the perimeter wire to prevent wire 
breaks. In particular when using a 
wire routing machine, make sure 
that the perimeter wire unwinds 
loosely from the spool.
Take care not to damage the 
perimeter wire when tending to the 
lawn edge. If necessary, install the 
perimeter wire at a slight distance 
(28 cm) from the lawn edge.
