Automower® installation examples

It is important to plan the Automower® installation carefully. We recommend that you create a sketch of the work area that includes all obstacles and challenges in your garden. This makes it easier to define the ideal position for the charging station, the boundary wire and the guide wire.

Below are some examples that may help you plan your own Automower® installation.

Small, flat and open lawn

The below illustration is an example of a small, flat and open lawn with a single island (an obstacle surrounded by boundary wire). The installation uses a guide wire that guides the mower back to the charging station when it is time to recharge.

Medium-sized lawn with some challenges

The below illustration is an example of a medium-sized lawn with a couple of challenges. This includes two islands, a narrow passage, a remote area and a slope. The installation uses two guide wires that guide the mower back to the charging station, and help it navigate through narrow passages and to the remote areas.

Complex lawn with many challenges

The below illustration is an example of a challenging lawn with several islands, narrow passages, remote areas, a slope and a secondary area. The installation uses two guide wires that guide the mower back to the charging station, and help it navigate through narrow passages and to the remote areas.

When you want the mower to work in the secondary area, simply move the mower there and select Secondary area when starting the mower. In a secondary area, your mower will mow for a specified period of time or until the battery is empty, without searching for the charging station.
