Slopes
The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10 %.
The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope that is steeper than 10 %. There is a risk of Automower finding it difficult to turn there. The mower will then stop and show the fault message Outside working area. The risk is at its greatest in damp weather conditions, as the wheels can slip on the wet grass.
However, the boundary wire can be laid across a slope steeper than 10 % when there is an obstacle that Automower can be permitted to collide with, for example, a fence or a dense hedge.
Automower can mow areas inside the working area that slope up to
35 % (see picture). Areas that slope more must be demarcated by the boundary wire.
When any part of the working area's boundary slopes more than 10" per 100", the boundary wire must be routed about 40" in on flat ground before the slope starts.
