Boundaries within the working area

Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example, flowerbeds, bushes and fountains. Lay the wire up to and around the area to be demarcated, and then return it back along the same route. If staples are used, the wire should be laid under the same staple on the return route. When the boundary wires to and from the island are laid close together, the robotic lawnmower can drive over the wire.

Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example, trees and bushes higher than 6” (15 cm), do not need to be demarcated by the boundary wire. The robotic lawnmower will turn around when it collides with this type of obstacle.

To achieve careful and silent operation, it is recommended to isolate all fixed objects in and around the working area.

The boundary wire may not be crossed on its way to and from an island.

Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or large trees with raised roots, must be isolated or removed. Otherwise the robotic lawnmower can slide up onto this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged.

Secondary areas

If the working area consists of two areas which the robotic lawnmower has difficulty travelling between, it is recommended to set up a secondary area. Instances of this are 25% slopes or a passage that is narrower than 24” (60 cm). Lay the boundary wire then around the secondary area so that it forms an island outside of the main area.

The robotic lawnmower must be moved manually between the main and secondary area when the lawn in the secondary area has to be cut. The MAN operation mode must be used as the robotic lawnmower cannot travel on its own from the secondary area to the charging station. See

5.1Operation selection on page 40. In this mode, the robotic lawnmower will never look for the charging station but will mow until the battery runs out. When the battery is flat, the robotic lawnmower will stop and the Needs manual charging message will appear in the display. Then place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery. If the main working area has to be cut after charging, it is appropriate to switch the operation mode to Auto before placing the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.

Passages when mowing

Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 7-7 ft (1.5 - 2 m) should be avoided. When the robotic lawnmower mows, there is a risk that it travels around in the passage or area for a period of time. The lawn will then look flattened.
