3.1 Installation Steps Overview

A visual guide outlining the three primary installation steps: positioning the charging dock, installing the boundary wire, and pairing the mower with the mobile application.

3.2 Charging Station Placement

Select a flat, level area for the charging station, preferably in a shaded spot to protect it from direct sunlight. Ensure there is clear space around the station for the mower to dock easily (at least 1 meter in front and 0.5 meters to the sides).

3.3 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. Ensure the wire is taut and buried slightly or covered to prevent tripping hazards and damage. Maintain a minimum distance from obstacles as specified in the full manual.
