3. INSTALLATION
Passages when mowing
Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than
1.5- 2 metres, 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 3 metres 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
3 metres, 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 3 metres, 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 33.
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 80 cm between the boundary wires.
2.Change the Corridor width setting
When the distance between the boundary wires in a narrow passage is more than 2 metres it is possible for Automower® to run through the passage if a low value is set for the Corridor width
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.
