3. INSTALLATION
Laying the boundary wire
If you intend to staple down the boundary wire:
• Cut the grass very low with a standard
lawnmower 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 robotic lawnmower
cutting the wire or damaging the insulation of the
wire is reduced.
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire close to the
ground and secure the staples close together
approximately 30” (75 cm) apart. The cable must
lie close to the ground so as not to be cut before
the grass roots have grown over it.
• Use a hammer to knock the staples into the
ground. Exercise care when knocking in the
staples and make sure the wire is not under
strain. Avoid sharp bends in the wire.
If the boundary wire is to be buried:
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire at least 1 cm
and a maximum of 8” (20 cm) in 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 8” (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 29.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Extra wire must not be placed in coils outside
the boundary wire. This can disrupt the
robotic lawnmower.
