3.3 Select Power Box Location. Robomow TC300, TC150, RC306, RC304, MC500, MC300, RC302, MC150, TC500

3.3 Select Power Box Location

Consider the following in order to select the Power Box location:

 The Power Box will be connected to the Base

Station using the 15m (50ft.) Extension Cable.

 Select a suitable location for the Power Box to be mounted on a wall near a power outlet.

 Locate it outside the lawn perimeter.

 Select an easily accessed spot.

 Select a dry and sheltered location.

 The Power Box is to be mounted vertically.

The Power Box is suitable for Outdoor use. Yet, it should be placed in a sheltered, dry and well ventilated spot. The Power Box should not be exposed to direct sunlight or rain.

3.4 Planning the Perimeter Wire Layout

3.4.1 Objects inside lawn

 Objects such as flower beds, ponds, or small trees can be protected by designating “ Perimeter Islands”, which are demarcated areas of the lawn, where

Robomow does not enter.

 If the areas where obstacles are grouped closely together, they should be demarcated by a single, continuous Perimeter Island.

 Obstacles that are vertical, relatively rigid, and higher than 15 cm (6 inches), such as trees, phone or power poles, do not need Perimeter Island. Robomow will turn when it collides with these obstacles.

3.4.2 Slopes

Slope on the perimeter

 The Perimeter Wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10% (10cm rise per 1m).

CAUTION! If the Perimeter Wire is laid across a slope steeper than10%, there is a risk that the mower will slip and cross outside the wire, especially when the grass is wet’.

However, if there is a barrier (e.g. fence or wall) that can protect the mower from slipping off, the

Perimeter Wire can be set on that slope.

Slope inside the lawn

 Robomow can mow areas inside the working area with a slope of up to 35% (35cm rise per 1m).

 Tip: If the mower tilts off the ground while climbing a slope, it is too steep. Exclude this steep area from

Robomow’s cutting area.

3.4.3 Distances from the Edge (Pools, Ponds, Cliffs, etc.)

 RoboRuler is used to measure the distance from the edge, where the wire is to be placed.

 In certain cases, near bodies of water such as pools and ponds, or great height differences such as cliffs, it is required to maintain a greater distance from the Edge (see Section 4.2.2).
