3. Boundary Wire Installation
The boundary wire defines the mowing area. Lay the wire around the perimeter of your lawn, securing it with the provided pegs. Maintain a specific distance from obstacles like walls, fences, and flowerbeds as indicated by the measurement gauge. Connect both ends of the boundary wire to the charging dock.
- Use the measurement gauge to ensure correct spacing from edges.
- For corners, avoid sharp 90-degree angles; use gentle curves.
- Ensure the wire is taut and securely pegged to the ground. Over time, the wire will become covered by grass.
- Connect the wire ends to the designated terminals on the charging dock.
