Planning:
- Create a sketch of the garden.
- Mark the location of the charging station and the path of the boundary wire.
- Ensure to frame all obstacles such as beds, patios, trampolines, bushes, trees, garden ponds, and paths.
Distance to Neighbour's Wire:
- Maintain at least 160 cm distance from the neighbour's boundary wire, especially if they have a similar robotic lawnmower.
- If the neighbour's robotic lawnmower is of a different brand, a greater distance may be necessary.
Installation of the Boundary Wire:
- Lay the wire in an unbroken loop around the area to be mowed.
- Take your time to follow the instructions carefully.
Function of the Robotic Lawnmower:
- The robotic lawnmower operates in a random pattern within the working area.
- It changes direction when it detects the boundary wire or encounters a solid obstacle.
With this plan, you ensure that your robotic lawnmower operates optimally and covers the entire lawn without leaving wheel tracks.
Improved Coverage: When the robotic lawnmower detects the boundary wire a certain number of times, it moves a few metres away from the last detection point and follows a spiral path. This ensures that it covers areas it may have overlooked.
Charging: When the robotic lawnmower needs charging, it automatically follows the boundary wire counter-clockwise back to the charging station.
