3. INSTALLATION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free area in front of it (at least 3 metres). It should also be centrally placed in the working area so ® that Automower finds it easier to reach all areas in the working area. Do not put the charging station in confined spaces in the working area. There must be a straight boundary wire, at least 1.5 metres long, to the right and left of the charging station. The wire must be laid straight out from the rear end o

This makes it easier for the lawn mower to follow the guide wire to the charging station. The charging station should not be placed on an island as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal way. If the charging station has to be installed on an island, the guide wire also has to be c
