8. Assembly / Before commissioning

m ATTENTION! Always make sure the product is fully assembled before commissioning! m ATTENTION! If you intend to use a scarier within the working area of the robotic mower, the boundary wire (11) must be buried. m ATTENTION! Do not use a strimmer near the boundary wire (11). Take care when trimming edges near which the boundary wire (11) is located.

Setting up / correct position of the charging station (10) m ATTENTION Fix the charging station (10) in place with the help of a hammer (not in scope of delivery) and the anchor pegs (13) only after you have staked out the complete working area.(Fig. 16). m NOTE: Do not make new holes in the charging station. m NOTE: Do not stand with your feet on the charging station plate. m ATTENTION The extension cable as well as the mains cable must be outside the working area to ensure that it is not damaged.

• The charging station (10) can be placed near a shed, a garden shed or the house.

• The charging station (10) must be placed on lev- el ground. m NOTE: Do not place the charging station (10) on a slop- ing or uneven surface, otherwise it will bend and the function will be impaired or a defect may occur.

• The charging station (10) must be set up/positioned such that there is at least one metre of space in front of the charging station (10), without obstacles or similar. (Fig. 3)

8.2 Connecting the boundary wire (11) to the

charging station (10) m NOTE: The boundary wire (11) must be laid at least one metre long, straight, without corners and obstacles in front of the charging station (10). This ensures the mower is able to drive into the charging station properly (10) (Fig. 3).

• The boundary wire (11) must be laid at least 30 cm away from boundaries, such as the house wall, ahead of and after the charging station (10). (Fig. 3)

• Strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from one end of the boundary wire (11) (Fig. 4).

• Insert the stripped boundary wire (11) into the red “OUT” cable clamp on the back of the charging sta- tion (10). Then pass the boundary wire (11) through the slot under the charging station (10) (Fig. 5).

• Then lay the boundary wire (11) as described in point 8.3 “Laying the boundary wire (11)”.

• m NOTE: The boundary wire (11) must be laid at least 100 cm straight in front of the charging station (10).

• After laying the boundary wire (11), trim o󰀨 the ex- cess wire.

• To connect the second end of the boundary wire (11), strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from the end and insert it into the black “IN” cable clamp.

Laying the boundary wire (11) (Fig. 1/2) The boundary wire (11) must be laid as a loop around the working area. When the robotic lawnmower (1) approaches, sensors inside the product detect the boundary wire (11). The mower changes direction at a random angle when it reaches the boundary wire (11).www.scheppach.com

If the mower needs to return to the charging station (10), it searches for / drives to the boundary wire (11) and then turns to the left. It then travels along the boundary wire (11) back to the charging station (10).

8.3.1 General notes / boundary cable installation

m ATTENTION: To avoid damage to the product there must be an obstacle of min. 15 cm height between the bound- ary wire (11) and water bodies/slopes/embank- ments and/or public roads. m ATTENTION: Do not operate the mower on gravel/stones. m NOTE: Dene and make a sketch of the working area before starting to lay the boundary wire (11). m NOTE: The max. permissible length for the boundary wire (11) is 300 m.

• The distance from the boundary wire (11) to the out- er edge must be 30 cm (Fig. 6).

• A distance of 8 cm between the boundary wire (11) is su󰀩cient if all of the following apply (Fig. 7): - the boundary surface can be driven over (e.g. footpath, driveway or similar). - the boundary surface is at the same level as the mowing surface. - there are no protruding or pointed parts on the boundary surface that can come into contact with the mower or blades and damage them. - there are no plants on the boundary area that should not be mown.

• The boundary wire (11) can be buried, or fastened in place using the wire pegs (12) provided.

• When laying the boundary wire (11), the angle in cor- ners must always be >90° (see Fig. 8+9).

• The robotic lawnmower (1) nds areas/passages that taper or that have a width of ≥ 0.8 m (Fig. 10).

• The minimum width of the mowing area is 0.8 m (Fig. 10).

• The maximum possible gradient is 25% (20°). m ATTENTION To prevent accidents and/or damage to persons or the product, it is prohibited to operate the product on steeper terrain. You can see how to determine the slope in Fig. 11. m NOTE: For the demarcation of slopes/embankments, see point 8.3.3. m ATTENTION! If you intend to use a scarier within the working area of the robotic mower, the boundary wire (11) must be buried.

8.3.1.1 Burying the boundary wire (11)

• When burying the boundary wire (11), make a nar- row groove in the grass turf using a spade or sim- ilar. Then place the wire in the groove and cover it with soil. m IMPORTANT: To ensure trouble-free operation, the boundary wire (11) may be covered with max. 3 cm of earth.

• After covering the boundary wire (11) with soil, it is su󰀩cient to compact the loose soil with your body weight.

8.3.1.2 Fasten the boundary wire (11) with the

wire pegs (12) m NOTE: The distance between the wire pegs (12) must not exceed 80 cm (Fig. 12).

• Place the boundary wire (11) on the grass at a dis- tance of 30 cm or 8 cm from the outer edge (Fig. 6/7).

• Fix the boundary wire (11) at least every 80 cm using a wire peg (12) (Fig. 12).

• Knock the wire pegs (12) into the ground (Fig. 13) with the help of a hammer (not included in the scope of delivery).

• In case of uneven or curved conditions, the dis- tance between the wire pegs (12) must be reduced accordingly.

8.3.2 Laying the boundary wire around obstacles

(islands) (Fig. 14) m NOTE: For large and heavy objects listed below as exam- ples, an “island installation” is not necessarily re- quired: - Tree - Raised bed - Large/heavy plant buckets - Greenhouse - Garden shed To protect delicate/small objects from damage, lay the boundary wire (11) as follows:

• Run the boundary wire (11) along the outer edge until you have reached the point with the short- est distance (but at least 0.8 m) between the outer edge and the obstacle.

• Lay the boundary wire (11) like a “supply line” along the shortest path to the obstacle.

• Lay the boundary wire (11) at a distance of 30 cm or 8 cm (see point 8.3.1) around the obstacle.www.scheppach.com

• Lay the cable along the “feed line” back to the out- er edge. m ATTENTION! DO NOT ALLOW The boundary wire (11) to cross. The maximum distance between the boundary wires is 5 mm.

• Continue to lay the cable along the outer edge.

8.3.3 Demarcation of slopes >25% (Fig. 15)

• The boundary to slopes >25% must be at least 40 cm, as shown in Fig. 15.

• If you do not maintain this distance, there is a risk that the robotic lawnmower (1) will drive out of the demarcated area. Thus, no function is possible any more, as the ro- bot no longer has any orientation. m NOTE When you have completely staked out the work- ing area, connect the boundary wire (11) to the charging station (10) as described in point 8.2. m ATTENTION Fix the charging station (10) in place with the help of a hammer (not in scope of delivery) and the anchor pegs (13) only after you have staked out the complete working area.

8.4 Connecting the charge station (10) (Fig. 16)

• Connect the 2-pin connector to the charging sta- tion (10) as shown in gure 16 and screw it in place.

• Then plug the mains plug into the socket. m ATTENTION Make sure that the boundary wire (11) is correct- ly routed and the power supply unit (14) is cor- rectly connected to the charging station (10) be- fore connecting the plug to the mains. If the charging station (10) is connected to the mains, an LED lights up on the rear part of the charging sta- tion (10). (see Fig. 17).

8.4.1 Description of the LED statuses (Fig. 17)

Flashes red The boundary wire is damaged or not connected prop- erly. Check that both ends of the bounda- ry wire are con- nected and that the cable clamp is reliable. Check that the boundary wire has not been broken.

8.5 Before commissioning

• Set the cutting height to the maximum cutting height (50 mm) using the cutting height adjustment knob (2) as shown in gure 18.

• Place the mower in the working area and start it (as described in point 9).

• Observe the mower for some time.

• If it returns to the charging station (10) without any problems, the installation is complete. TIP: Before rst use: Position the mower, directly behind the charging sta- tion (10), at a 90° angle to the boundary wire (11) and give it the command to return to the charging station (10) via the “HOME” button (see point 9). The mower will now drive back to the charging station (10) along the complete boundary wire (11) (Fig. 2) This allows you to identify problem areas immediately before rst use and correct them if necessary. The same procedure is recommended for critical places, such as embankments/ditches/beds, etc. Proceed as described above and start the mower (see point 9) with the “START” button. In the event of a problem, you can stop the mower by pressing the stop button (4) on the product.

9. Starting up / adjustments

m ATTENTION! To ensure optimum function, a software update must be carried out before rst use. (see 13.3 Software update) m NOTE For a long service life, the robotic lawnmower (1) should only be operated at an outdoor temperature of 5 - 40 °C.www.scheppach.com

The device is now locked for 10 minutes before you can enter the PIN code again.

• Press the “START” button and then the “OK” button to start mowing.

• If you press the “HOME” button and then the “OK” button, the robotic lawnmower (1) returns to the charging station (10) with the mowing function switched o󰀨. The robotic lawnmower (1) operates continuously un- til the battery charge is too low. The robotic lawnmow- er automatically returns to the charging station (10). The cutter disc is deactivated in this state. m NOTE After the battery is fully charged, the robotic lawn- mower starts again. Alternatively, the robotic lawn- mower remains in the charging station (10) in accord- ance with the set mowing schedule. (By default, the robot mows from Monday to Friday from 09:00 - 15:00 hrs) m ATTENTION! Always make sure the product is fully assembled before commissioning! Electrical connection The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the appli- cable VDE and DIN provisions. The customer’s mains connection as well as the ex- tension cable used must also comply with these reg- ulations. Damaged electrical connection cable The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged. This may have the following causes:

• Pressure points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.

• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp- erly fastened or routed.

• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.

• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.

• Cracks due to the insulation ageing. Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage. Check the electrical connection cables for damage regu- larly. Ensure that the connection cables are disconnect- ed from electrical power when checking for damage. Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap- plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables of the same designation. The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.
