Passages when mowing
Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than
5
- 7 ft, 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 10 ft 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 10
ft, 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 10
ft, 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 34.
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 2
ft
between the boundary wires.
2. Change the default Corridor width (3-2-3) setting.
When the distance between the boundary wires in
a narrow passage is more than 7
ft it is possible
for Automower to run through the passage if a low
value is set for the
Corridor width (3-2-3) function
(see page 56). However, a low value involves a
large risk of tracks forming along the entire
boundary wire.
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.
