5.9.4 Deleting the values
If the last time you mowed was ages ago, e.g. at
the end of the previous season, the boundary
quality values might have changed in the me-
antime. This could lead to mistakes when the
new season gets underway. It is recommended
therefore to delete the boundary quality value
every year at the beginning of the season and to
determine a new reference value. This can help to
guarantee that the robot lawn mower works safely
and reliably.
To delete the reference values on your robot lawn
mower, fi rst select the point "Mower protocol" in
the settings menu, then select the point "Delete
limit values" and confi rm.
5.10 Switching on and checking the installa-
tion
5.10.1 Checking the installation of the guide
cable and the charging station (Fig. 6a)
As soon as the LED display (19a) on the charging
station (19) lights up green, the mowing area is
ready for the robot lawn mower. First check that
all the fastening pegs (23) for the guide cable (24)
have been fully tapped in.
Place the robot lawn mower in the search loop a
short distance behind the charging station (19)
in order to check as far as possible the complete
distance of the guide cable (24). The robot lawn
mower should not yet be on the guide cable (24)
but should be facing the guide cable (24). Switch
on the main switch (7) (ON) (Fig. 8).
Press the "STOP" button (3) and open the control
panel cover (13). Unlock the robot lawn mower by
entering the PIN (see the section "Locking mecha-
nism / PIN"). Press the "MODE" button (52). Then
use the navigation buttons (55) to select the point
"To the charging station" and confi rm with the
"OK" button (56). Press the "START" button (53)
and then close the display cover. Now the robot
lawn mower will search for the guide cable (24) in
order to fi nd the charging station (19). First it will
travel forwards until it arrives at the guide cable
(24). Depending on the situation the robot lawn
mower might stop briefl y beforehand in order to
re-orientate. Then the robot lawn mower will follow
the guide cable (24) counterclockwise. Make sure
there are no objects lying on the guide cable (24).
The battery of the robot lawn mower will now be
fully charged. If any problems occur with docking,
you might need to adjust the orientation of the
charging station (19) until docking works without
any problems. To stop the robot lawn mower at

GB
any time, press the red STOP button (3). When
you press the STOP button (3), the robot lawn
mower will come to a stop and wait for further
instructions. Check in addition those places which
lie far away from the search loop and those areas
which are connected by bottlenecks. Repeat the
process as described above and send the robot
lawn mower back to the charging station (19).
5.10.2 Checking the mowing area (Fig. 6b)
To check the boundaries of the mowing area, walk
along the lawn boundary and check if the mowing
area is completely surrounded by boundaries or
obstacles. Repeat this with all areas which are
to be excluded, e.g. fl ower beds, pools or ponds,
and check whether these areas are clearly se-
parated from the mowing area at all points. It is
recommended to examine critical points which
you doubt that the robot lawn mower will recogni-
ze. For this purpose place the robot lawn mower
a distance of 1 m away from the point you want to
check. The robot lawn mower needs to be facing
the point you want checked. Areas protected by a
magnetic tape (27) must also be checked. Then
start the lawn mower as described in section 6.5.3
First the robot lawn mower will travel forwards and
should then recognize the lawn boundary or the
obstacle. You can interrupt the process at any time
with the help of the STOP button (3). Repeat this
process at all points where you feel unsure.
5.10.3 Checking the position of the charging
station (Fig. 6c)
Check the position of the charging station (19) by
positioning the robot lawn mower at various points
of the lawn after calibration is completed and have
the mower search for the charging station (19).
Now send the robot lawn mower back to the char-
ging station as described in section 6.5.4. You can
interrupt the process at any time with the help of
the STOP button (3). If necessary adapt the area,
the laying of the guide cable (24) and the position
of the charging station (19).
5.11 Securing the charging station
Once the robot lawn mower is working properly
and a suitable position for the charging station
(19) has been found, the charging station (19)
must be fi xed in place using the fastening screws
(21). Use the hexagon key (22) to secure the fas-
tening screws (21) fully in the ground (Fig. 7).
