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.
Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example,
trees and bushes higher than 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.
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.
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 with an
island or removed. Otherwise the robotic lawnmower
can slide up onto this kind of obstacle causing the
blades to be damaged and/or the mower to get stuck.
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 150 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
5.1 Operation selection on page 39. 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.
