4. Setup
4.1 Charging Station Placement
Choose a suitable location for the charging station. It should be on a flat surface, preferably in a shaded area, and close to a power outlet. Ensure there is enough clear space around the station for the robot to dock easily. Secure the charging station to the ground using the provided fixing spikes.
4.2 Boundary Wire Installation
The boundary wire defines the mowing area for your robot lawnmower.
- Lay the Wire: Start laying the boundary wire from the "+" port on the back of the charging station. Lay the wire counter-clockwise around the perimeter of your desired mowing area, returning to the "-" port on the charging station.
- Secure the Wire: Use the provided ground spikes to secure the boundary wire to the lawn. The recommended distance between spikes is 1 meter (39.3 inches).
- Depth: The boundary wire should not exceed 2 cm (0.78 inches) if buried underground.
- Obstacles: Create islands around obstacles like flowerbeds or ponds by running the wire from the main boundary to the obstacle and back, ensuring the wires run parallel and close together to cancel out the signal.
