3. INSTALLATION
3.6 Installation of the guide wire
The guide wire is a wire that is laid away from the charging station, for instance out towards a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage and then connected with the boundary wire.
The guide wire is used by the mower to find its way back to the charging station but also to guide the mower to remote areas of the garden.
To ensure an even cut over the entire lawn, the mower can follow the guide wire from the charging station to the guide wire connection in the boundary wire and start mowing there. Depending on the garden layout, one should adjust how often the mower is to follow the guide wire from the charging station. See
6.4 Installation (2) on page 44.
The mower must be run at varying distances from the guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming when the mower follows the guide wire to/from the charging station. The area beside the wire which the mower then uses is called the Corridor.
The mower always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen facing the charging station. Thus the corridor is to the left of the guide wire. The corridor is 50 cm wide.
When installing, it is therefore important to have at least 75 cm free space to the left of the guide wire and at least 25 cm free space to the right of the guide wire, as seen facing the charging station.
It is not allowed to lay the guide wire closer than 30 cm from the boundary wire.
The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled to or buried in the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure that there is always at least 75 cm of free space to the left of the guide wire as seen facing the charging station.
