10 cm in the mowing area need to be protec-
ted, because otherwise the robot lawn mower
could run over them. If not, this could result
in the robot lawn mower getting damaged or
blocked.
•
Trees (Fig. 6k)
The robot lawn mower treats trees as obsta-
cles. However, where any tree roots project
above the ground to a height of less than 10
cm, the area in which they are located needs
to be protected. This will prevent damage to
the roots and to the robot lawn mower. Make
sure that the minimum distance between the
perimeter wire (18) and the obstacle is 30 cm.
5.5.10 Main area and secondary area (Fig. 6l)
A secondary area (B) designates a work area
which is not directly connected to the main area
(A), e.g. via a stretch of lawn or a path. To create
a separate secondary area (B) lay the perimeter
wire (18) from the main area (A) to the secondary
area (B) and back again. The perimeter wire (18)
to and from the secondary area (B) should be laid
such that the return run is parallel and very close
to the forward run. - Caution! Perimeter wires
(18) must not cross over each other! - You
should therefore fasten the parallel perimeter
wires (18) to the ground jointly using the same
fastening pegs (14).
To be able to mow the secondary area (B) you
must carry the robot lawn mower by hand into the
secondary area (B). Start the required mowing
program and select "Secondary area" in the sub-
menu (see „Settings of the robot lawn mower").
When the robot lawn mower is in the secondary
area (B) it will not try to follow the perimeter wire
(18) towards the charging station (19) if the batte-
ry charge level is low.

5.6 Connecting the charging station

Finish laying the complete perimeter wire (18)
before you connect it to the charging station.
Keep an extra length of 1 m of perimeter wire (18)
at each end so that you can make further adjust-
ments at a later time.
Using a wire stripper, remove a length of 10 to 15
mm of the insulation at the ends of the perimeter
wire (18) for connecting to the charging station
(19).
Pull out the power plug before you connect the
perimeter wire (18) to the charging station (19).
The perimeter wire (18) laid to the front end of
the charging station (19) must be run to the back
via the cable holders on the underside of the
charging station (19). Connect this perimeter wire

(18) to the connection on the left (black). Then
pass the rear perimeter wire (18) through the hole
(stress-relief) in the connection area and connect
it to the connection on the right (red) (Fig. 7a).
Important! Perimeter wires (18) must not
cross over!
Then connect the power supply. The LED indica-
tor (21) on the charging station (19) should light
up green and stay on permanently. If the LED
does not light up, check the connections fi rst. If
the LED lights up green but not permanently, read
the "Indicators on the charging station and trou-
bleshooting" table at the end of these operating
instructions.
5.7 Switching on and checking the
installation
As soon as the LED indicator (21) on the charging
station (19) lights up green, the mowing area is
ready for the robot lawn mower. Please check fi rst
that all the fastening pegs (14) on the perimeter
wire (18) have been fully tapped in. Place the ro-
bot lawn mower about 3 m to the rear of the char-
ging station (19) in front of the perimeter wire (18).
The robot lawn mower needs to be facing the
perimeter wire (18) at an angle of 90° (Fig. 7b).
Switch on the main switch (7) (ON) (Fig. 8).
Press the STOP button (3) and open the display
cover (25). Press the locking button (62), unlock
the robot lawn mower using the PIN, and confi rm
your entry with the "OK" button (63) (see the sec-
tion "Locking mechanism / PIN").
Press the "HOME" button (61) before fi nally clo-
sing the display cover (25). The robot lawn mower
will now follow the perimeter wire (18) in a coun-
terclockwise direction. Observe the robot lawn
mower during the complete trip along the perime-
ter wire (18) until it is back in the charging station
(19). If the robot lawn mower has any problems
at any points, correct the perimeter wire (18) if
necessary and repeat the operation. The rechar-
geable battery (22) of the robot lawn mower will
now be fully charged. If any problems occur with
docking, you may need to reposition the charging
station (19) sideways until docking works without
any problems.
To stop the robot lawn mower at any time, press
the red STOP button (3). When you press the
STOP button (3), the robot lawn mower will come
to a stop and wait for further instructions.
