INSTALLATION
If the charging station has to be placed in a passage, the grass in the passage around the charging station could be mown too often. To avoid this the Auto Mower can be programmed to leave the charging station in any chosen direction within the range
It is beneficial to place the charging station in the shade when installations are made in areas with a hot climate.
Separate working areas
It may be a good idea to lay out more than one separate working area in certain cases:
•When lawn areas are not joined to each other.
•When one area is much smaller than another and the only link is through a narrow passage.
The charging station and the search wire must be located in the main area, i.e. the largest working area. The boundary wire is then laid in accordance with the installation instructions, along the outer edge of the Auto Mower’s working area, see “Installa- tion of boundary wire”. The secondary area or areas are created by laying the boundary wire in the form of an “island” outside the working area. See the illustration.
The Auto Mower must then be moved by hand between the various working areas, since automatic battery charging can only be carried out while the Auto Mower is in the main area. To facilitate the manual work see the chapter, “Settings” (Mowing secondary areas).
When the battery is fully charged the Auto Mower can mow for about

Installation of the charging station
Secure the charging station to the ground using the six nails supplied.
The boundary wire and search wire should be routed through the wire channels in the charging station so that they exit by the terminal block at the rear. The
The incoming search wire (connect to terminal 1) should be routed through one of the four wire channels at the front of the charging station. For most installations the first or second slot from the left usually provides the most effective docking (see drawing).
To ensure correct docking and charging of the battery it is important that the charging station is installed as follows:
•The charging station must not stand on an upslope (fig. 1).
•The charging station must be level in relation to the mower (figs. 2 and 3).
•The charging station must be on level ground (fig. 4).

There is a terminal block at the rear. The low voltage cable, the search wire and the boundary wire should be connected to the terminal block. See “Installation, step by step”.
