2. Installing the Charging Station

Place the charging station on a flat, level surface near a power outlet, preferably in a shaded area. Ensure there is enough clear space around the station for the mower to dock easily.

1. Connect the power cable to the charging station and plug it into a suitable outdoor power outlet.
2. Secure the charging station to the ground using the provided pegs.

3. Laying the Boundary Wire

The boundary wire defines the mowing area for your robot. Lay the wire around the perimeter of your lawn, ensuring it is taut and secured with the fixing pegs. Maintain a recommended distance from obstacles and edges as specified in the detailed installation guide.

• Use the spacer ruler to maintain consistent distance from edges.
• Create islands around flowerbeds or ponds to prevent the mower from entering restricted areas.
• Connect both ends of the boundary wire to the charging station terminals.
