Preparations

First, draw a sketch of your lawn. Include obstacles in your sketch and draw up a plan for how
you intend to protect them. This will make it easier to find a good position for the charging
station (18) and to lay the boundary wire (17) around bushes, lower beds, etc. If the grass is
taller than 60 mm, it has to be shortened first to avoid exposing the robot mower to excessive
load and
adversely affecting its operating efficiency. We recommend to cut the grass to a height of 40
mm with a conventional lawnmower. Remove all loose objects from the lawn which could get
damaged by the robot mower or damage the robot mower itself.
Have the following tools ready: A hammer, tongs, a wire stripper and a spirit level (optional).
7.4.1

Fitting the battery

Open the Battery slot cover (8) by pulling the Unlock button (31). Press the battery pack
release button and push the rechargeable battery (22) into the mount provided. Close the
Battery slot cover (8) and make sure that it latches in place correctly
(Fig. 8 & Fig. 9).

Charging station

7.5.1

Position of the charging station

Determine the best position for the charging station (18) first. An outdoor socket outlet is
required, which supplies a permanent supply of electricity so that the robot mower works at all
times. The charging station (18) must be placed on a flat area at the level of the turf. Make
sure that the area is flat and dry. Select if possible a position which is in the shade, because it
is best if the rechargeable battery (22) is charged in a cool area.
Also note that the boundary wire has to be laid in a straight line for at least 2m in front of the
charging station (18)(Fig. 4a).
Remark: The total length of the power cable of power supply (12) is
approximately 10.2m.
7.5.2

Localization of the charging station

When the rechargeable battery (22) is almost empty, the robot mower returns to the charging
station (18) by following the boundary wire (17) in a clockwise direction until it reaches the
charging station (18). Make sure, therefore, that the charging station (18) faces in the right
direction when you position it (Fig. 4b).
7.5.3

Assembly the charging station

Connect the charging station's tower (18d) to the bottom plate (18b) by using four self-tapping
screws (25) with a screwdriver (Fig. 6c).
Once the robot mower is working properly and a suitable position for the charging station (18)
has been found, the charging station (18) must be fixed in place using the fixing pegs (14).
Use the hex key (23) to secure the fixing peg (14) fully in the ground (Fig. 6d).
7.5.4

Information about charging

The robot mower returns to the charging station (18) in each of the following situations:
▪
You send the robot mower back manually (via the control panel or APP).
▪
The battery charge level drops below 36%.
▪
The end of the work time has been reached.
▪
The rain sensor has tripped .
