Clean and/or replace all security labels that are dirty, deteriorated, unreadable or
tom.
Always wear safety glasses with deflectors when using the machine.
Always wear anti-vibration gloves when using the machine.
Always wear hearing protectors when using the machine.
Always wear steel-toe work boots when using the machine.
Do not back up the machine unless absolutely necessary. Always look at the
ground behind you before backing up.
Make sure the working area is free of rocks, toys, metal wires, stick, etc. The
objects could be cut and/or launched by the blade.
Never use the machine if the protection guards and other safety devices are not in
place.
Stop the engine when crossing driveways, sidewalks or streets.

and walk; never run.
1f the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately
for the cause. Strong vibrations are usually a sign of an abnormality.
The engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the
engine in a closed building without adequate ventilation.
The muffier and other engine parts become extremely hot during operation and
remain hot after engine has stopped. To avoid severe burns, stay away from these
pa rts.
Stop the engine before cleaning, inspection or repairs.
Bolts and nuts, especially the bolts used to attach the blade should always be
properly tightened. Keep equipment in good condition.
Never tamper with safety devices. Regularly check that they are functioning
properly.
Keep grass, leaves or debris of any kind from accumulating on the machine or in
front of the blade. Clean olI orfuel spillage.

3.2 Moving the machine to the working zone
To move the machine to the working zone:
1) Loosen the clamping lever on the handle;
2) Pivot the handle until it is vertical on the machine;
3) Lift the support foot in front the machine;
4) Puli or push the machine to the work area.
3.3 Using the distance guide
Perimeter wire machine PWM600MHTM is equipped with an adjustable
distance guide. This is used to align the machine with the edge of the
course and bury the wire at a distance between 15 cm and 45 cm.
To use the distance guide:
1) Unscrew the wing nut (see A);
2) Position the distance guide at the desired distance according to
the ruler label. The ruler allows positioning between 15 and 45
cm to the nearest centimetre. (See B);
3) Tighten the wing nut.
3.4 Self-propulsion
The PWM600MHTM Perimeter Wire Machine is equipped with a
transmission for self-propulsion. This allows for a constant rate of
installation and considerably reduces operator effort.
To engage it, simply apply pressure to the traction handle (see Figure).
~CH
12

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions of the robot mower for the technical specifications for
installation of perimeter wire.
Initially, attach the end of the wire to a stake or a tool planted in the ground.
1) Start the engine and open throttle fully;
2) Lift the support foot in front the machine;
3) Slowly insert the blade into the ground by pressing down on the handle until the frame is parallel
to the ground (Figure 1);
4) Apply pressure to the traction handle to move the machine (Figure 2).
3.5 Inserting the Derimeter wire in the wire ~uide
Proceed as follows:
1) PuIl the end of the wire from the spool (Figure 1);
2) insert the wire in the wire deflector (Figure 2, A) and in
the hole in the chassis (Figure 2, 8);
3) Insert the wire in the guide wire tube until it emerges
(Figure 3).
3.6 Burying the perimeter wire in the ground
13

~CH
3.7 Adjusting the handle height
It is important to adjust the handle to a comfortable height
before working with the PWM600MHTM Perimeter Wire
Machine.
The recommended handle position is
at the waist level, but adjust it to your
preferred height using the handle
clamping lever (see Figures).
3.8 How to overcome an obstacle in the ground
When burying the wire in the ground, some immovable obstacles such as large rocks or roots will be
encountered. To avoid damage to the blade and/or the machine, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: Do not push the blade against the obstacle in an attempt to try to cut or displace it.
1) Release the traction handle (Figure 1);
2) Push the handle upwards, trying to keep the blade and the wire guide in the soil (Figure 2,
3) Lightly press on the traction handle to pass over the obstacle (Figure 2, B);
4) Lower the machine so that the frame is parallel to the ground (Figure 3, A);
5) Resume the job by pressing the traction handle (Figure 3, 8).
14

~RTABLE
3.9 Insertion of perimeter wire in a tight corner
When designing the PWM600MHTM Perimeter Wire Machine, every feature has been implemented to
allow burying of the wire as close as possible to the perimeter of the field and to avoid manual burying of
wire. Its compact size and the 15 cm blade offset from the outside of the wheel are good examples. The
handle is also designed to quickly and easily pivot as needed to turn a tight corner. To optimally bury
wire in a tight corner, follow the steps below:
1) Move as far as possible into the corner (depending on the distance recommended by the
manufacturer of the robot mower) (Figure 1);
2) Loosen the handle clamping lever (Figure 2);
3) Lift the handle until vertical (Figure 3);
4) Turn the machine in the desired direction by grasping the arch (Figure 4 and 5);
15

5) Lower the handle until horizontal (Figure 6);
6) With your left hand on the chassis and your right hand on the traction handle, move
the machine far enough to dear the corner and resume the normal working position
(press the traction handle to move the machine) (Figure 7);
7) Once out of the corner, move the handle to the desired position to continue burying
the wire (Figure 8).

4.1 Belt adjustment
The PWM600MHTM Perimeter Wire Machine is equipped with three (3) belts. These should be inspected
and/or adjusted every ten (10) hours of use. In some cases, they should be replaced. The main reasons
for replacing a worn belt are: cracking, loss of material, fraying, uneven wear or shiny spots resulting
from heat or skating.
17

4.1.1 Adjusting the engine belt
1) Loosen the 4 bolts (Figure 1 and 2);
2> Apply pressure by hand to the engine mount until the
belt is tight (Figure 3);
3) Tighten the 4 bolts.
1) Loosen the 6 bolts (see Figure);
2) Move the blade transmission to achieve the
desired tension;
3) Tighten the 6 bolts.
4.1.3 Adjusting the wheels trcsnsmission belt
1) Loosen the nut with 13 mm wrench;
2) Pivot the transmission on its axis to
achieve the desired tension;
3) Tighten the nut.

4.2 Lubricating the blade transmission shaft (10 hours)
The blade transmission shaft must be lubricated after every ten (10)
hours of use. Follow the PWMA-0009 instructions which are provided
with perimeter wire machine PWM600MHTM. The PWMA-0009 forms
part of the accessories available to order (seesection 5.1).
4.3 Lubricating the blade transmission (100 hours)
It is important to ensure that the blade transmission is well greased. It is recommended to check this
regularly (after every 100 hours of use of the machine).
1) Loosen the six (6) bolts (Figure 1);
2) Remove the transmission from the blade
3) Unscrew and remove the cap (Figure 2);
4) Add a small amount of grease to
compensate for any leakage.
Do not fili completely!
5) Replace the cap;
6) Reinstall the transmission;
7) Replace the six (6) bolts. Do not tighten immediately;
8) Replace the belt and adjust the tension;
9) Tighten the six (6) bolts.
1 IMPORTANT: Only use PWMA-0009 grease (GS-1000 Prolab 100% synthetic) 7
