servicing dealer.
1.1.2 Product description
Note: regularly updates the appearance and
function of the products. Refer to
Support on
page 3 .
The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product
has a battery power source and cuts the grass
automatically. It continuously alternates between
mowing and charging. The movement pattern is
random, which means that the lawn is mowed
evenly and with less wear. The boundary wire
and the guide wire controls the movement of the
product within the work area. Sensors in the
product senses when it is approaching the
boundary wire. The front of the product always
passes the boundary wire by a specific distance
before the product turns around. When the
product hits an obstacle or approaches the
boundary wire the product selects a new
direction.
The operator selects the operation settings with
the keys on the keypad. The display shows the
selected and possible operation settings, and the
operation mode of the product.
1.1.2.1 Mowing technique
The product is emission free, easy to use and
saves energy. The frequent cutting technique
improves the grass quality and decreases the
use of fertilizers. Collection of grass is not
necessary.
1.1.2.2 Find the charging station
The product operates until the battery is low.
Then it follows the guide wire to the charging
station. The guide wire is laid from the charging
station towards, for instance, a remote part of the
work area or through a narrow passage. The
guide wire is connected with the boundary wire
and makes it much easier and faster for the
product to find the charging station.

Note: Refer to www.mcculloch.com for more
information about installation.
3.2 Main components for installation
The installation involves the following
components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the
boundary wire.
• To send control signals along the guide
wire so that the product can be send to
specific remote areas in the garden and
can find its way back to the charging
station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V wall
socket.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work
area and around objects and plants that the
product must not run into. The loop wire is
used both as boundary wire and guide wire.
3.3 General preparations
CAUTION: Holes with water in the
lawn can cause damage to the
product.
Note: Read through the Installation chapter
before beginning the installation. How the
installation is done affects how the product
performs. It is therefore important to plan the
installation carefully.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and
include all obstacles. This makes it easier to
see the ideal positions for the charging
station, the boundary wire and the guide
wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put
the charging station, the boundary wire and
the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the
guide wire connects to the boundary wire.
Refer to
To install the guide wire on page
21 .
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
• Cut the grass before you install the product.
Make sure that the grass is maximum 4 cm /
1.6 in.
Note: The first weeks after installation the
perceived sound level when cutting the grass
may be higher than expected. When the product
has cut the grass for some time, the perceived
sound level is much lower.
3.4 Before the installation of the wires
You can select to attach the wires with stakes or
bury them. You can use the 2 procedures for the
same work area.
• Bury the boundary wire or the guide wire if
you are going to use a dethatcher on the
work area. If not, attach the boundary wire
or guide wire with stakes.
3.4.1 To examine where to put the charging

3.4.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION: If the work area is adjacent
to water bodies, slopes, precipices or a
public road, the boundary wire must
have a protective wall. The wall must
be minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends
when you install the boundary wire.
CAUTION: For careful operation
without noise, isolate all obstacles
such as trees, roots and stones.
The boundary wire should be put as a loop
around the work area. Sensors in the product
senses when the product approaches the
boundary wire, and the product selects another
direction.
To make the connection easier between the
guide wire and the boundary wire, it is
recommended to make an eyelet where the guide
wire will be connected. Make the eyelet with
approximately cm / in. of the boundary wire.
Note: Make a blueprint of the work area before
you install the boundary wire and guide wire.

• If you have a paving stone path that is in
level with the lawn, put the boundary wire
below the paving stone.
Note: If the paving stone is minimum 30 cm /
12 in. wide, use the factory setting for the
Drive Past Wire function to cut all the grass
adjacent to the paving stone. Refer to
To set
the Drive Past Wire function on page 28 .
• If you make an island, put the boundary wire
that runs to and from the island near
together (E). Put the wires in the same
stake. Refer to
To make an island on page
17
.
• Make an eyelet (F) where the guide wire is
to be connected to the boundary wire.
3.4.3.1 To put the boundary wire in a slope
The product can operate in slopes. Slopes that
are too steep must be isolated with the boundary
wire. The gradient (%) is calculated as height per
m. Example: cm / cm = .
10 cm/4"
100 cm/40"
10%
• For slopes steeper than inside the work
area, isolate the slope with boundary wire.
• For slopes steeper than 10% along the outer
edge of the lawn, put the boundary wire 20
cm / 8 in. (A) from the edge.
A
>10% 0-25%
• For slopes adjacent to a public road, put a
fence or a protective wall along the outer
edge of the slope.
3.4.3.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on
each side and that connects 2 work areas. The
passage must be a minimum of 60 cm / 24 in.
between the boundary wire.
Note: If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
3.4.3.3 To make an island
CAUTION: Do not put a section of
boundary wire across the other. The
sections of boundary wire must be
parallel.
CAUTION: Do not put the guide wire
across the boundary wire, for example
a boundary wire that goes to an island.
Some obstacles can withstand a collision, for
example, trees or bushes taller than cm / in. The
product will collide and then turn around with this
1411 - 001 - 18.12.2019 Installation - 17

type of obstacle. However, obstacles that slope
slightly, for example stones or large trees with
raised roots, must be isolated or removed. The
product can run onto this kind of obstacle causing
the blades to be damaged. Use the boundary
wire to isolate areas inside the work area by
creating islands. When the boundary wires to and
from the island are put close together, the
product can run over the wire.
Note: To achieve careful and silent operation, it is
recommended to isolate all fixed objects in the
work area.
• Put the boundary wire to and around the
obstacle to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire that run
to and from the obstacle close together
without crossing.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the
same stake.
0 cm / 0 "
3.4.3.4 To make a secondary area
Make a secondary area (B) if the work area has 2
areas that are not connected with a passage. The
work area with the charging station is the main
area (A).
Note: The product must be manually moved
between the main area and the secondary area.
B
A
• Put the boundary wire around the secondary
area (B) to make an island. Refer to To
make an island on page 17 .
Note: The boundary wire must be put as 1
loop around all of the work area (A + B).
Note: When the product cuts grass in the
secondary area, the Secondary area mode
must be selected. Refer to Operating modes
on page 30
.
3.4.4 To examine where to put the guide
wire
Put the guide wire from the charging station
through the work area and connect it to the
boundary wire. The installation of the guide wire
is important for a successful guide calibration,
