Step 1: Find a good location
- Open area: Install the charging station in an open area with a flat surface.
- Grass height: Ensure that the grass height in front of the charging station is less than 10 cm (4 inches) so that the lawn mower can get in and out of the station.
- WiFi coverage: Place the charging station somewhere that is covered by your home WiFi.
- Near the boundary: Place the charging station near the boundary and orient it in the direction of the clock along the edge of the lawn.
- Distance to the boundary: The charging station must be at least 25 cm away from the boundary, and there should be no obstacles within 2 m from the front of the charging station on the lawn. The distance from the front of the charging station to the boundary should not be less than 2 metres.
- Clear boundary: Ensure that the lawn's boundary near the charging station is clear and in a straight line.
Step 2: Secure the charging station
- Secure the charging station: Nail the charging station down on a non-hardened and flat surface.
- Connect power: Connect the power adapter and cable to the power supply. If there is some distance between the charging station and the power supply, the charging cable should be properly secured to the ground and wall for safe operation.
Lightning protection:
- To protect the robotic lawn mower from lightning strikes, it is not recommended to place the charging station under or near a tall tree.
- Do not route extension cords to the charging station around tall trees.
- It is recommended that the robotic lawn mower does not operate during thunderstorms to avoid damage to electronic components from lightning strikes.
- During thunderstorms, it is recommended to disconnect the power from the charging station and, if possible, disconnect the boundary cable.
