Charging Station Placement
Place the charging station on a horizontal surface, ensuring it is not at a corner and has a minimum of 1.5 meters of clear space in front and behind it. Position it near a power source. The charging station has two parts: the left part should be within the mowing area, and the right part outside the boundary.
Boundary Wire Installation
Thread the boundary wire through the cable duct on the charging station. The wires should be straight and close to the ground, and can be buried up to 4 cm underground. Space the pegs approximately 75cm apart to secure the wire. When making turns, ensure the angle is between 90-180 degrees to prevent the mower from cutting the wire. Position the boundary wire 10cm away from roads and 35cm away from obstacles higher than 5cm. For obstacles 1-5cm high, position the wire 30cm away.
