3.3 Charging station installation 3. INSTALLATION

This chapter describes how you to install this mower.

Before starting the installation, read the previous chapter 2. Presentation.

Read the whole of this chapter before starting the installation. How the installation is made also affects

how well the mower will work. It is therefore important

to plan the installation carefully.

3.1 Preparations

Training

- Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the mower.

- Never allow people unfamiliar with these instructions

or children to use the mower. Local regulations

may restrict the age of the operator.

- The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

- Choose best installation place, please make sure

it is flat, no water, no magnetic interference and no

obstacle in the front of charging station.

Charging station best install place:

1. Make sure it is flat

2. No magnetic interference

3. No water and far away from puddle

4. No obstacle in front of charging station

3.2 Hardware adjustments

Blade adjustment

The mowing system used by this mower is based on

an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike normal lawn mowers, the mower cuts the grass instead of striking it off.

Rain sensors on the mower is optional (See P14-5.12 RAIN), we recommend you allowing the mower to mainly mow in

dry weather to obtain the best possible result. Even though the mower can mow in rain, wet grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of slipping on steep

slopes is greater.

The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best

mowing result. In order to keep the blade sharp for as

long as possible it is important to keep the lawn free from branches, small stones and other objects

(especially the objects less than 6cm height). Please fill up small holes and even out small mounds to make sure lawn is flat.

How to adjust the cutting height:

1.Press the clamshell and open it.

2. Rotate the adjusting knot to adjust the cutting height.

Cutting height from 2.5cm to 6cm.

3. INSTALLATION

3.4 Virtual wire installation

The virtual wire can be installed in one of the following ways:

- Securing the wire to the ground with pegs.

It is preferable to staple down the virtual wire, if you

want to make adjustments to the virtual wire during

the first few weeks of operation.

- Bury the wire

It is preferable to bury the virtual wire(max depth: 5cm)

if you want to detach or aerate the lawn.

If necessary both methods can be combined so one part of the virtual wire is stapled down and the

remainder is buried.

- Install virtual wire with pegs 1 meter apart. It’s

best to use smooth radius corners than sharp

angles . See pictures.

- Bury virtual wire below grass and fasten it on the ground with pegs, so that the mower should

not cut the wire. virtual wire

Add pegs in order to pull the virtual wire down to the ground surface, below the grass tips.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break when

driving them in. In extreme cases, watering the lawn

where the pegs will be driven.

OK

- A minimum distances between the front of the charging

station and an obstacle is 2 meters. And make sure the distance from corner to front of charging station is at least

2.5 meters. Make sure to lay a 2.5 meters minimum straight-light of virtual wire in front of charging station.

- If a high obstacle, for example a house, wall, fence or

other obstacle which is higher than the cutting lawn borders the working area, the virtual wire should be laid

at least 40cm from the obstacle. This will prevent mower from colliding with the obstacle.

- If a passage or a ground with same height of cutting lawn, the virtual wire should be laid at least 10cm from the edge.

- A minimum distance between the pool edge of virtual wire is 40cm.

- A minimum distance between two corners is 1meter.

3. INSTALLATION

- Use the virtual wire to isolate areas inside the working

area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and

fountains. Run the wire out to the area, route it

around the area to be isolated and then back along the same route. If pegs are used, the wire should be laid under the same peg on the return route. When

the virtual wire to and from the island with a maximum

distance of 1cm, the mower can drive over the wire.

- Care must be taken not to create a corner sharper shorter than 90 degrees when setting up virtual wire.

A corner sharper less than 90 degrees can cause the

mower to lose track of virtual wire. We can make

greater than 90 degrees corner like follow picture

shows.

- If protected obstacles are grouped closely together

isolate them individually. Continuous virtual island

if obstacles are close to edge, leave them out of the

mowing area.
