Passages when mowing

Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than

5 - 7 ft, should be avoided. When Automower mows there is a risk that it runs around in the passage or area for a too long a period. The lawn will then look flattened.

Passages when searching for the charging station

The distance between the boundary wires in a passage must be at least 10 ft in order for Automower to follow the boundary wire through the passage without the need of changing the mower's default settings. When the distance is less than 10 ft, there are two options available that permit Automower to run through the passage.

1.Install a guide wire.

When the distance between the boundary wires is less than 10 ft, it is recommended to install a guide wire through the passage. For more information about the guide wire, see 3.8 Installation of the guide wire on page 34.

Usually the installation of the guide wire is the best solution with narrow passages.

The narrowest passage that Automower can run through with the help of a guide wire is 2 ft between the boundary wires.

2.Change the Corridor width setting (3-2-3).

When the distance between the boundary wires in a narrow passage is more than 7 ft it is possible for Automower to run through the passage if a low value is set for the Corridor width (3-2-3)function (see page 55). However, a low value involves a large risk of tracks forming along the entire boundary wire.

The transition between a large area and a passage should be, if possible, designed like a funnel, with rounded corners, to make it easier for Automower to enter the passage.
