Let’s get started. Can’t wait to mow your lawn.
Welcome to a friendly home Congratulations on on your purchase! You are just a few steps away from meeting your best team player. Very soon you will come to count on your new friend to do a perfect job. It will independently depart from its base on predetermined days and times, mow your lawn and return to base for charging. A preinstalled perimeter wire sets the boundaries (a “virtual wall”) for your mower. It will be laid around the edges of your lawn and objects that you want to protect.
In addition, it follows the perimeter wire, when it mows the edges of your lawn to give it a perfect finish. Good-looking lawns are achieved by consistent mowing, which is exactly what a robotic mower provides. After following the clear installation instructions, you will be ready to enjoy your free time, while your new friend looks after your lawn.
So where are we headed? Correct installation of your mower will ensure maximum results.

Know Your Lawn Understanding your lawn will save you unnecessary mistakes and make the installation process easier and more straight-forward. You can also skip some later sections in this manual that are not relevant to your lawn type. So, what does your lawn look like? Type A Main Zone only Your lawn area is one continuous zone and all areas of the lawn are wide enough for the mower to navigate through (at least 4 m (14 ft) wide at its narrowest point).
Type C Main Zone + Separated Zone Main Zone Separated Zone Your lawn consists of two or more zones that are not connected (separated by a fence, sidewalk, pathway or other obstacle). The mower cannot drive between these zones.
Get Started Choose locations for the Base Station & Power Supply unit The Base Station is where your mower recharges, and where the perimeter wire starts and ends. In this installation step, you are going to determine a proper location for the Base Station. TIP The Base Station will be installed at a later stage, after the Perimeter Wire is in place. Where should you place your Base Station? Consideration A Up to a max.
n. Mi Consideration B A min. of 3 m [10 ft] of straight wire in front of the base and a min. of 30 cm (1 ft) behind the base to allow smooth docking 30 cm (1 ft ) m .3 in M (10 ft ) Consideration C In a flat and shady spot • If there are additional zones in your lawn, place the Base Station within the largest zone • Make sure the ground is even and flat, and that there are no slopes • Keep a minimum of 1 meter / 3.
Lay the Wire Lay the perimeter wire (“virtual boundary”), which defines the working area for the mower. Now you’re ready to install the Perimeter Wire. Let’s take it step by step. TIPS WHAT YOU’LL NEED • Have your mower’s package nearby. • Be sure to cut your grass with your old mower one last time before you start wiring. This will make inserting pegs easier and help ensure that the mower doesn’t cut the wire. • Hammer • Small, flat & Phillips screwdrivers • Combination pliers ...
Hard Obstacles Hard obstacles are vertical, rigid and higher than 15 cm (6 in), such as trees or telephone poles. If a Hard Obstacle has a diameter under 10 cm (4 in), it must be protected by a Perimeter Island. If the diameter is larger, it’s not necessary.
A. Make a Good Start Before you begin, walk along the edge of your lawn and plan how to set up the Perimeter Wire. Take note of all obstacles and slopes. Pull out approx. 30 cm (1 ft) of wire through the hole in the spool’s plastic covering and peg the beginning of the wire to the ground where you intend to install your Base Station.
B. Maintain Proper Distance The Perimeter Wire is secured to the ground by the pegs supplied with the product. Use the RoboRuler to determine the distances you should leave between the Perimeter Wire and the lawn’s edge and obstacles. • Insert pegs every few meters/feet and at corners. At this early stage, set a minimal number of pegs. You will insert all necessary pegs later. • Pull the wire tight while hammering the pegs to their final depth in the ground. • Take care not to damage irrigation pipes.
TIPS • It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire, though you may do so, up to 5 cm (2 in) deep. • Burying the wire along exposed areas, such as pavements, is usually recommended. • If additional Perimeter Wire is required in order to complete the setup, you can extend it using the waterproof Wire Connectors provided (see section 5-G “Splicing the Perimeter Wire”). C. Make Smooth Turns Maintain a 45° angle at all left-turn corners when laying the wire along the perimeter.
D. Protect Soft Obstacles Objects such as flower beds, ponds, or small trees must be protected by setting Perimeter Islands. Perimeter Wire position Perimeter Wire If the distance between an island and the perimeter wire is lower than 1.5 m (5 ft), make the obstacle part of lawn’s edge. Keep min. 1.5 m (5 ft) between islands; if obstacles are closer together, use one island.
Recall Your Lawn Type Main Zone Main Zone Sub Zone Separated Zone Main Zone Main Zone Sub Zone Type A Type B Type C Type D Main Zone only Main Zone + Sub Zone Main Zone + Separated Zone Main Zone + Sub Zone + Separated Zone E. How to Wire a Sub Zone Type B / Type D Don’t have a Sub Zone? Skip this section! A Narrow Pass connects the Main Zone with a Sub Zone. To allow your mower to drive through, it should be at least 1 m (3.5 ft) wide. Narrow Pass Sub Zone Main Zone Main Zone 28 Separ.
A helpful video is available online • If a Narrow Pass is shorter than 2 m [7 ft], set up only one square Perimeter Island in the passage • Take care to wire Narrow Passes correctly to ensure that the TIPS mower doesn’t cross into different zones spontaneously while mowing Min 14 cm [5.5 in] 32 cm [12.6 in] Min 50 c 70 m( 19.

F. How to Wire a Separated Zone Type C / Type D Don’t have a Separated Zone? Skip this section! If your Separated Zone is larger than 120 m2/1291 ft2 (200 m2 /2150 ft2 for models over 3000 m2/30000 ft2), your mower won’t be able to finish it in a single operation. Therefore, it is recommended to wire it separately and connect it to its own Base Station. If your Separated Zone is smaller than 120 m2/1291 ft2 (200 m2/2150 ft2 for models over 3000 m2/30000 ft2), you can wire it in one of two ways.
OPTION 2 Wire the Zone separately and connect it to a Perimeter Switch (optional accessory).
G. Complete Wire Setup Once the Perimeter Wire has been laid completely, the two ends of the wire that meet at the Base Station should be joined together. TIPS • Use the same peg to fasten both tail ends of the wire to the ground • Trim the ends so both wires are the same length Make sure you twist the two wires together properly.
Strip back 5 mm (0.2 in) of insulation from the wire ends, insert the twisted wire into the connector and secure it using a small flat screwdriver.
Power Up Install and connect the Base Station and Power Supply A. Install and Connect the Base Station Place the Base Station in its planned location. Remove the Base Station’s head from the Base: A. Pull the lever upward. B. Push the Base Station’s head from the front side in the direction marked. Feed both the Perimeter Wire (A) and the extension cable (B) through the slot in the rear side of the Base Station.
Attach the Perimeter Wire connector to point A on the Base Station’s head. Attach the 20 m (65 ft) extension cable to point B on the Base Station’s head. A B Slide the Base Station’s head back into place on the sliders (C). Make sure it is inserted properly all the way through. Press the lever down until it clicks in place. Press & Click Feed the Extension Cable into the Power Supply unit. Place the Base Station in its location and align it so that it’s centered over the Perimeter Wire.
B. Connect the Power Supply unit TIP Consider the following in order to select a proper location for the Power Supply unit: • Select a suitable location near a power outlet • Position it outside the lawn perimeter • A dry and sheltered location is preferable Power Supply unit Base Station 20 m (65 ft) Extension cable [low voltage] Connect the DC cable from the Power Supply unit to the 20 m (65 ft) extension cable. Make sure the connector is inserted the whole way up to the white mark.
Connect the Power Supply unit to a regular power outlet. Now you should see the LED indication on the Base Station blinking green (if the mower is outside), or steady green (if the mower is inside the Base Station). LED indication Caution The Extension Cable from the Power Supply to the Base Station should be securely fastened to the ground! It should never present a tripping hazard. The Extension Cable should cross ONLY over soft surfaces. It should not cross over hard surfaces (e.g.

Periodic maintenance WARNING Severe injury and damage hazard! Always turn the Safety Switch off before lifting the mower. Blades are very sharp. They can cause severe cuts or lacerations. Always wear heavy work gloves when working with or around the blades. NEVER use a damaged or broken blade. NEVER sharpen the blade manually. Once a month: • • • Inspect the underside of the mower. Clean if necessary.
Troubleshooting Message Displayed Probable Cause / Event Corrective Action Cross Outside The Perimeter Wire is too close to the edge. Move the wire towards the inner side of the lawn. The lawn slope near the edge is too big and causes the mower to slip outside. Do not include areas with very steep slopes. The lawn’s edge is too bumpy. Fill holes and pits along the edge till level with the ground. The mower got stuck in place. It cannot continue driving. Check the ground for holes or indentations.
Frequently asked questions Mower does not dock properly and sometimes misses Base Station’s contacts The entrance to the Base Station is not flat. Fill some ground to flatten the lawn around the Base Station to allow smooth entrance. Make sure the Perimeter Wire is straight and centered all the way under the Base Station. Mud, dirt or leaves got stuck to the Front Wheel. This raises the front of the mower and causes it to miss the charging contacts of the Base Station.
