3.2 Preparations
Read through this entire chapter before beginning the
installation. How the installation is done also affects how
well the robotic lawnmower works. It is therefore
important to plan the installation carefully.
Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the
working area, including all obstacles. This makes it
easier to see the ideal positions for the charging station,
the boundary wire and the guide wire. Draw on the
sketch where the boundary and guide wires should be
routed.
Visit www.gardena.com for further descriptions and tips
regarding installation.
1. If the lawn in the working area is longer than 10 cm
mow it using a standard lawnmower. Collect the
grass.
2. Fill in holes and hollows to stop rainwater forming
pools of water. The product may be damaged if it is
operated in pools of water. See
Guarantee terms on
page 54
.
3. Read carefully through all the steps before the
installation.
4. Check that all parts for the installation are included.

Loop wire for boundary loop and guide wire
Power supply
Low voltage cable
Pegs

Screws for the charging station
Measurement gauge
Couplers for the loop wire
Cable markers
3.2.1 Installation tools
During installation you will also need:
Hammer/plastic mallet (to simplify putting the pegs
in the ground).
Combination pliers for cutting the boundary wire and
pressing the connectors together.
Polygrip (for pressing the couplers together).
Edge cutter/straight spade if the boundary wire must
be buried.
3.3 Charging station
The charging station has 3 functions:
To send control signals along the boundary wire.
To send control signals in the guide wire so that the
robotic lawnmower can find the charging station.
To charge the robotic lawnmower battery.
3.3.1 Best charging station location
Take the following aspects into consideration when
identifying the best location for the charging station:
Allow minimum 3 m of free space in front of the
charging station.
It must be possible to lay minimum 1.5 m of
boundary wire straight out to the right and left of the
charging station. Any other location can mean that
the robotic lawnmower enters the charging station
sideways and will have difficulty docking.
It must be close to a wall socket. The supplied low
voltage cable is 10 m long.
A level surface free from sharp objects to place the
charging station on.
Protection from water spray for instance from
irrigation.
Protection from direct sunlight.
Place it in the lower part of a working area that has a
major slope.
Possible requirement to keep the charging station
out of sight for outsiders.
The charging station must be positioned with free space
in front of it (minimum 3 m). It should also be centrally
placed in the working area to make it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to reach all areas in the working
area.
