Note: The product cannot receive signals from the satellite for navigation if the sky is impeded.

Make a stay-out zone (B) around trees or a group of trees with tree canopies that are more than 4m/ 13 ft. in diameter (A).

Note: Trees or a group of trees with tree canopies that are more than 4m /13 ft.in diameter (A) can cause temporary stops for the product. Smaller trees do usually not cause interference with the operation of the product.

• For L-shaped buildings, install the virtual boundary at a minimum distance (C) of 1.5m / 5 ft. from it.

• To install virtual boundaries in an area with an U-shaped building, make sure that the distance (E) is minimum 6m / 20 ft. If the building is higher than 3 m / 10 ft., make sure that the distance (E) is twice the height of the highest building. Install the virtual boundary at a minimum distance (D) of 1.5m / 5 ft. from the building.

Make sure that the areas between objects have a distance (F) of minimum 4m / 13 ft.

Note: For areas with a width less than 4m / 13 ft. a transport path can be made for the robotic lawn mower to go through without cutting.

3.9.1 Passages

A passage is a section that has virtual boundary on each side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The width of the passage can be minimum 2m / 6.5 ft. to get a good cutting result.

3.9.2 To examine where to make stay-out zones

• Make stay-out zones around objects that are larger than 2 × 2 ~m / 6.6 × 6.6 ft.
  Make sure that the stay-out zone includes the complete area were the product must not operate (B).

Note: Do not make a stay-out zone across the work area to prevent the product to enter parts of the work area (A).

Make sure that the stay-out zone is minimum 30 × 30 cm / 1 × 1 ft .

3.9.3 To install the map objects in a slope

Slopes that are too steep must be isolated with the boundary wire. The gradient (%) is calculated as the vertical height divided by the horizontal distance. Example: 10cm / 100cm = 10% .

• For slopes steeper than the maximum permitted slope, do not include them in the work area. You can also isolate the slope with a stay-out zone.
• Install the virtual boundaries in slopes that are less steep than the maximum permitted slope for the virtual boundary.
• For slopes adjacent to a public road, put a barrier of minimum 15cm / 6 in. along the outer edge of the slope. You can use a wall or a fence as a barrier.
• For systematic pattern, Husqvarna recommends that you set the direction of the systematic pattern straight up the slope.

3.9.4 To use the EPOS Support by wire function

The boundary wire can be installed to operate with the EPOS system. Install the boundary wire if the satellite signals are weak. It can be in a part of the work area or an area where you have installed a transport path. Refer to the operator's manual for the robotic lawn mower on how to install the boundary wire.
