Laying out the boundary wire
If you intend to staple down the boundary wire:
Cut the grass very low with a standard lawn
mower or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid. It
will then be easier to lay the wire close to the
ground and the risk of the mower cutting the wire
or damaging the insulation of the wire is reduced.
Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the
ground and secure the staples close together
with approximately 75 cm between each staple.
The wire must generally lie close to the ground
so, as not to be cut off before the grass roots
have grown over it.
Use a hammer to knock down the staples in the
ground. Exercise care when knocking in the
staples and make sure the wire is not under strain.
Avoid forming the wire in sharp bends.
If the boundary wire is to be buried:
Make sure to place the boundary wire at least
1 cm and a maximum of 20 cm into the ground.
The wire can be buried for instance using an edge
cutter or a straight spade.
Use the supplied measurement gauge as a guide
when you lay out the boundary wire. This helps you to
easily set the correct distance between the boundary
wire and the boundary/obstacle. The measurement
gauge is broken loose from the box.
Loop for connecting the guide wire
To facilitate the connection of the guide wire to the
boundary wire, it is recommended to create a loop
with about 20 cm of extra boundary wire at the point
where the guide wire will later be connected. It is a
good idea to plan where the guide wire will be placed
before laying out the boundary wire. See 3.6
Installation of the guide wire on page 27.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Extra wire must not be placed in coils outside
the boundary wire. This can disrupt R40Li.
