Things that should be understood before use

Work environment
Check that the area to be mowed by the Robotic Mower conforms to
the following items.
• The grass height is 65 mm or less.
If the grass is too long, cut it down in advance.
• There are no obstacles such as stones, sticks, or tools.
The Robotic Mower may fl ing or catch obstacles, resulting in an
accident.
• There are no puddles.
The Robotic Mower can mow lawns in the rain, but wet grass
tends to stick to the Robotic Mower, and the possibility of slipping
on steep slopes increases.
• There is no snow accumulation.
The Robotic Mower may slip and not operate correctly.
Charging station
The charging station charges the Robotic Mower and fl ows signals in
the boundary wire and guide wire.

• It is close to the power supply.
• It is a level location.
The installation location has a slope within ±5° of level.
• The location should be protected from the sun.
• When installing the charging station on the lawn directly, keep
the lawn short.
• There is space of 3 m or more to the front.
NOTICE: Do not bend the station base.
Boundary wire
The boundary wire defi nes the area where the Robotic Mower is to
perform mowing work.
Install the boundary wire around the boundary of the area where the
Robotic Mower is to perform mowing work.
For the installation method, refer to the chapter "Installing the
Boundary Wire" in the Setup Guide.
Guide wire
This wire guides the Robotic Mower when it returns to the charging
station. This wire also guides the lawn mower to areas that the lawn
mower works less frequently due to topographical reasons, etc.
For the installation method, refer to the chapter "Installing the Guide
Wire" in the Setup Guide.
Lamp lighting
The Robotic Mower and the charging station indicate various states
by the lighting patterns of their lamps.
