station
See chapter 3.2 in the Operator’s Manual
1. Place the charging station at a central position in the work area, with a lot of open
space in front of the charging station and on a relatively horizontal surface.
2. Connect the power supply’s low voltage cable to the charging station and the power
supply.
3. Connect the power supply to a 100-240 V wall socket.
2. Charging the battery and
placement of the boundary wire
See chapter 3.3 and 3.4 in the Operator’s Manual
1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to charge
the battery while the boundary wire is laid. Set the main
switch to position 1.
2. Run the boundary wire ensuring it forms a loop around the
work area.
3. Make an eyelet at the point where the guide wire will be
connected later (see point 3.4).

3. Connecting the boundary wire
See chapter 3.5 in the Operator’s Manual
1. Open the connector and lay the wire ends in the recesses on each connector.
2. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1 to 2 cm above the connectors.
4. Press the connectors onto the contact pins, marked AL (left) and AR (right) , on the
charging station. It is important that the right-hand wire is connected to the right-hand
contact pin, and the left-hand wire to the left-hand pin.
5. Mark the wires with the accompanying cable markers. This makes it easier to reconnect
the wires correctly.
4. Placement of and connecting the guide
wire
See chapter 3.6 in the Operator’s Manual
1. Place the guide wire under the charging station, using any of the two guide
channel positions marked with “GUIDE”.
2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for the boundary wire,
according to the instructions above.
3. Fasten the connector to the contact pin marked G1 (guide) on the charging station.
4. Lay the guide wire at least 2 metres straight out from the front edge of the
charging station.
5. Run the guide wire to the point on the boundary loop where the connection will be
made. Avoid laying the wire at tight angles.
6. Cut the boundary wire with a wire cutters at the centre of the eyelet that was made
in point 2.3.
7. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using the accompanying couplers.
Press the couplers completely together with a pair of pliers.

6. Adjust the robotic lawnmower to suit
your garden
See chapter 6.3, 6.5, 6.7 and 6.8 in the Operator’s Manual
Here you will find some tips on important settings for your robotic lawnmower.
All settings for your robotic lawnmower are made via the menu functions.
Adjust the mower to suit the size of your lawn
The mowing results depend on mowing time. Adjust the mowing time to suit your
garden using the Timer function. If the mower cuts too often, the lawn will appear
trampled down. If the mower cuts too seldom, the lawn will not be properly mown.
Test run the mower through narrow passages
Narrow passages in the garden make it difficult for the mower to find the charging station. Use the Test function to
test that the mower can travel through the narrowest passage.
1. Place the mower in the charging station.
2. Select Test in the robotic lawnmower’s menu (Lawn coverage > Area X > More > Test) and press OK. Then
press the Start button and close the cover.
3. Check that the mower follows the guide wire through the passage.
a. If the mower travels through the passage, the test is complete.
b. If the robotic lawnmower does not get through the passage: Check that the guide wire has been laid ac-
cording to the instructions in chapter 3.6 in the Operator’s Manual.
It is also possible to adjust the corridor width for the guide wire. See chapter 6.7 in the Operator’s Manual.
Timer
You decide what times during the day and days of the week the mower is to work.
When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about the
listed amount of the number of square meters per hour and day listed in table Work
capacity.
