1. To install the charging station
1. Place the charging station on a flat level surface where there is open space.
NOTE: To place the charging station in a limited space, under a veranda or in a
corner, please read the Operator’s manual.
2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station and the power supply.
3. If outdoor, put the power supply at a minimum height of 30 cm / 12 in from the
ground.
4. Connect the power supply to a 100-240 V wall socket.
5. Place the robotic lawn mower in the charging station.
6. Push the ON/OFF button to switch on the robotic lawn mower and to charge the
battery while the boundary wire is laid.
NOTE: Do not continue with any product settings before the installation is complete.
2. To install the boundary wire
1. Lay the boundary wire so that it forms a loop around the
whole work area using stakes supplied or bury the wire.
NOTE: Do not lay the boundary wire in sharp bends.
2. Adapt the distance between the boundary wire and different
objects.
A: Lay the boundary wire around all work area in a loop.
B: High obstacles > 5 cm / 2 in e.g. wall or fence.
C: Low obstacles 1-5 cm / 0.4-2 in. or a dropped edge e.g. flower bed.
D: Objects level with the lawn 0-1 cm / 0.4 in e.g. path, paving stones.
E: Make an island to isolate areas.
3. Make an eyelet at the point on the boundary wire where the
guide wire is later connected (F).
4. To handle slopes, passages and secondary areas, refer to
the Operator’s manual.

3. To connect the boundary wire
1. Open the connector and lay the boundary wire in the connector.
2. Press the connector and the wire together by using a pair of pliers.
3. Cut off the wire 1-2 cm / 0.4-0.8 in. after the connectors.
4. Press the boundary wire connectors onto the contact pins marked L (left) and R (right)
on the charging station.
NOTE: The right-hand wire must be connected to the right-hand contact pin on the
charging station, and the left-hand wire to the left-hand pin.
4.To install and connect the guide wire
Install a guide wire to lead the robotic lawn mower to remote parts of the lawn and
to help it to find the charging station.
1. Push the guide wire through the bottom of the charging station and fasten it into
place using the snap locks.
2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for the boundary wire,
according to the instructions above.
3. Press the guide wire connector onto the contact pin marked GUIDE on the
charging station.
4. Pull the guide wire a minimum of 1 m / 3.3 ft. straight out from the front edge of the
charging station.
5. Lay the guide wire from the charging station to the point on the boundary wire
(eyelet) where the connection is made using stakes supplied or bury the wire.
NOTE: Do not lay the guide wire in sharp bends and it cannot cross the boundary
wire that for instance is laid out for an island.
6. Cut the boundary wire at the center of the eyelet that was made in step 2.3.
7. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire by inserting the boundary wires and
guide wire in the coupler, and pressing the coupler together with a pair of pliers.
NOTE: After the guide wire is installed, attach the charging station to the ground
with the supplied screws and allen key.
NOTE: For optimal performance through narrow passages please ensure the gui-
de wire is laid correctly through it. Please read the Operator‘s manual for further
instructions.

ration, where the robotic lawn mower automatically follow the guide wire.
To start the product
1. Open the hatch to the keypad.
2. Push the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.

6. To change the settings
All settings for the robotic lawn mower are done via the menu functions. Please read the Operator’s
manual and become familiar with the menus and settings.
1. The Schedule function is used to adjust the mowing time to suit your work area. If the robotic lawn
mower is allowed to mow too often, the grass may appear flattened. Use the scheduling wizard to set
a suitable schedule. Push the Menu button and select
Schedule > Wizard and enter the size of your
work area. If you want to change the schedule settings for individual days use
Schedule > Advanced .
2. Use the Mode button to choose operating mode, for example
Main area, Secondary area and Park .
Test run the robotic lawn mower through narrow passages
Narrow passages in the garden can make it difficult for the mower to find the charging station. Use the Test
function to test that the robotic lawn mower can travel through the narrow passage.
1. Place the robotic lawn mower in the charging station.
2. Select Test in the menu ( Settings > Lawn coverage > More > Test ) and push OK.
Then push the Start button and close the hatch.
3. Check that the robotic lawn mower follows the guide wire through the passage.
a. If the robotic lawn mower runs through the passage, the test is complete.
b. If the robotic lawn mower does not get through the passage: Check that the guide wire has been laid
according to the instructions in the Operator’s manual.
