.
The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product has a
battery power source and cuts the grass automatically. It
continuously alternates between mowing and charging.
The movement pattern is random, which means that the
lawn is mowed evenly and with less wear. The boundary
wire and the guide wire controls the movement of the
product within the work area. Sensors in the product
senses when it is approaching the boundary wire. The
front of the product always passes the boundary wire by
a specific distance before the product turns around.
When the product hits an obstacle or approaches the
boundary wire the product selects a new direction.
The operator selects the operation settings with the keys
on the keypad. The display shows the selected and
possible operation settings, and the operation mode of
the product.
1.1.2.1 Mowing technique
The product is emission free, easy to use and saves
energy. The frequent cutting technique improves the
grass quality and decreases the use of fertilizers.
Collection of grass is not necessary.
1.1.2.2 Find the charging station
The product operates until the battery state of charge is
low. Then it follows the guide wire to the charging
station. The guide wire is laid from the charging station
towards, for instance, a remote part of the work area or
through a narrow passage. The guide wire is connected
with the boundary wire and makes it much easier and
faster for the product to find the charging station.

latest firmware. Refer to
Firmware update on page 30
.
WARNING: Read and understand the
safety chapter before you install the
product .
CAUTION: Use original spare parts and
installation material.
3.2 Main components for installation
The installation involves the following components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary
wire.
• To send control signals along the guide wire
so that the product can follow the guide to
specific remote areas in the garden and can
find its way back to the charging station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V power outlet.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work area and
around objects and plants that the product must
not run into. The loop wire is used both as
boundary wire and guide wire.
3.3 General preparations
CAUTION: Holes with water in the lawn
can cause damage to the product.
Note: Read through the Installation chapter before
beginning the installation. How the installation is done
affects how the product performs. It is therefore
important to plan the installation carefully.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and include all
obstacles. This makes it easier to see the ideal
positions for the charging station, the boundary
wire and the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put the
charging station, the boundary wire and the guide
wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the guide wire
connects to the boundary wire. Refer to
To install
the guide wire on page 18
.
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
• Cut the grass before you install the product. Make
sure that the grass is maximum 4 cm / 1.6 in.
Note: The first weeks after installation the perceived
sound level when cutting the grass may be higher than
expected. When the product has cut the grass for some
time, the perceived sound level is much lower.
3.4 Before the installation of the wires
You can select to attach the wires with stakes or bury
them. You can use the 2 procedures for the same work
area.
CAUTION: If you use a dethatcher in
the work area, bury the boundary wire and
the guide wire to prevent them from
damage.
3.4.1 To examine where to put the charging
station
• Keep a minimum 2 m / 6.6 ft. of free space in front
of the charging station. Refer to
To examine where
to put the guide wire on page 16
.

• If the work area has two parts separated with a
steep slope, we recommend to put the charging
station in the lower section.
• Put the charging station in an area with protection
from the sun.
• If the charging station is installed on an island,
make sure to connect the guide wire to the island.
Refer to
To make an island on page 15
.
3.4.2 To examine where to put the power
supply
WARNING:
Do not cut or extend the
low-voltage cable. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
CAUTION: Make sure that the blades
on the product do not cut the low-voltage
cable.
CAUTION: Do not put the low-voltage
cable in a coil or below the charging station
plate. The coil causes interference with the
signal from the charging station.
• Put the power supply in an area with a roof and
protection from the sun and rain.
• Put the power supply in an area with good airflow.
• Use a residual-current device (RCD) when you
connect the power supply to the power outlet.
Low-voltage cables of different lengths are available as
accessories.
3.4.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION: There must be an obstacle
of minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height between
the boundary wire and water bodies, slopes,
precipices or public roads. This will prevent
damage to the product.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends
when you install the boundary wire.
CAUTION: For careful operation
without noise, isolate all obstacles such as
trees, roots and stones.
The boundary wire should be put as a loop around the
work area. Sensors in the product senses when the
product approaches the boundary wire, and the product
selects another direction. All parts of the work area must
be maximum 15 m / 50 ft. from the boundary wire.
To make the connection easier between the guide wire
and the boundary wire, it is recommended to make an
eyelet where the guide wire will be connected. Make the
1411 - 007 - 23.09.2020

• If you have a paving stone path that is in level with
the lawn, put the boundary wire below the paving
stone.
Note:
If the paving stone is minimum 30 cm / 12
in. wide, use the factory setting for the
Drive Past
Wire
function to cut all the grass adjacent to the
paving stone. Refer to
To set the Drive Past Wire
function on page 24
.
• If you make an island, put the boundary wire that
runs to and from the island near together (E). Put
the wires in the same stake. Refer to
To make an
island on page 15
.
• Make an eyelet (F) where the guide wire is to be
connected to the boundary wire.

- Installation 1411 - 007 - 23.09.2020
3.4.3.1 To put the boundary wire in a slope
The product can operate in slopes. Slopes that are too
steep must be isolated with the boundary wire. The
gradient (%) is calculated as height per m. Example: 10
cm / 100 cm = 10%.
10 cm/4"
100 cm/40"
10%
• For slopes steeper than inside the work area,
isolate the slope with boundary wire.
• For slopes steeper than 10% along the outer edge
of the lawn, put the boundary wire 20 cm / 8 in. (A)
from the edge.
A
>10%
0-25%
• For slopes adjacent to a public road, put an
obstacle of minimum 15 cm / 6 in. along the outer
edge of the slope. You can use a wall or a fence
as an obstacle.
3.4.3.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on each
side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The
distance between the boundary wire on each side in the
passage must be a minimum of 60 cm / 24 in.
Note:
If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
The recommended minimum distance between the
guide wire and the boundary wire is 30 cm / 12 in. The
product always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen
facing the charging station. It is recommended to have
as much free area as possible to the left of the guide
wire (A).
>2 m / 6.5 ft

3.4.3.3 To make an island
CAUTION: Do not put a section of
boundary wire across the other. The
sections of boundary wire must be parallel.
CAUTION: Do not put the guide wire
across the boundary wire.
CAUTION: Isolate or remove obstacles
that are less than 15 cm / 5.9 in. in height.
Isolate or remove obstacles that slope
slightly, for example, stones, trees or roots.
This will prevent damage to the blades of
the product.
To make an island, isolate areas in the work area with
the boundary wire. We recommend to isolate all stable
objects in the work area.
1411 - 007 - 23.09.2020
Installation - 15
Some obstacles are resistant to a collision, for example,
trees or bushes that are more than 15 cm / 5.9 in. in
height. The product will collide with the obstacle and
then select a new direction.
• Put the boundary wire to and around the obstacle
to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire to and from the
island close together. This will make the product
run across the wire.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the same
stake.

5 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction - maintenance
WARNING: The product must be
switched off before any maintenance is
done. The product is disabled when the LED
status indicator is not lit.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.
For better operation and longer service life, make sure
to clean the product regularly and replace worn parts. All
maintenance and servicing must be done according to
McCulloch's instructions. Refer to
Warranty on page
47
.
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount
of wear during this period has been low, the inspection
interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The
lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for
instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 4 to 7 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
To replace the blades on
page 30
on how to replace the blades.
Note:
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more
energy is needed resulting in the product not mowing
such a large area.
5.2 Clean the product
CAUTION:
Do not use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Do not use
solvents for cleaning.
The product does not operate satisfactorily in slopes if
the wheels are blocked with grass. Use a soft brush to
clean the product.
McCulloch recommends to use a special cleaning and
maintenance kit as an accessory. Speak to your

5.3 Replace the blades
WARNING: Use blades and screws of
the right type. McCulloch can only guarantee
safety when using original blades. Only
replacing the blades and reusing the screw
can result in a screw wearing during
mowing. The blades can then be propelled
from under the body and cause serious
injury.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety reasons.
Even if the blades are intact, they should be replaced on
a regular basis for the best mowing result and low
energy usage. All 3 blades and screws must be replaced
at the same time to obtain a balanced cutting system.

6.6 Find breaks in the loop wire
Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of
unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when
gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost,
also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage
the wire. Breaks can also occur due to the wire being
stretched excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can
damage wire insulation. Damage to the insulation may
not cause disruptions until several weeks or months
later. To avoid this, always select the maximum cutting
height the first weeks after installation and then lower
the height one step at a time every second week until
the desired cutting height has been reached.
A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to
disruptions several weeks after the splice was done. A
faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the
coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a
pair of pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the
original coupler has been used. Please first check all
known splices before further troubleshooting is done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving the
distance of the loop where the break may have occurred
until there is only a very short section of the wire left.
The following method does not work if
ECO mode
is
activated. Make sure first that
ECO mode
is switched
off. Refer to
ECO mode on page 24
.
1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging
station flashes blue, which indicates a break in the
boundary loop. Refer to
Indicator lamp in the
charging station on page 39
.
1411 - 007 - 23.09.2020 Troubleshooting - 41
2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the
charging station are properly connected and not
damaged. Check that the indicator lamp in the
charging station is still flashing blue.
R
GUIDE
L
POWER
3. Switch the connections between the guide wire
and the boundary wire in the charging station.
Start by switching connection L and GUIDE.
If the indicator lamp is flashing yellow, then the
break is somewhere on the boundary wire between
L and the point where the guide wire is connected
to the boundary wire (thick black line in the
illustration).
GUIDE
L
Guide
To rectify the fault you will need boundary wire,
connector(s) and coupler(s):
a) If the suspected boundary wire is short then it is
easiest to exchange all of the boundary wire
between L and the point where the guide wire is
connected to the boundary wire (thick black line).
b) If the suspected boundary wire is long (thick
black line) then do as follows: Put L and GUIDE
back to their original positions. Then disconnect R.
Connect a new loop wire to R. Connect the other
end of this new loop wire at the middle of the
suspected wire section.

If the indicator lamp now is flashing yellow, then
the break is somewhere in the wire between the
disconnected end to the point where the new wire
is connected (thick black line below). In that case,
move the connection for the new wire closer to the
disconnected end (roughly at the middle of the
suspected wire section) and check again if the
indicator lamp is green.
Continue until only a very short section of the wire
remains which is the difference between a solid
green light and a flashing blue light. Then follow
instruction in step 5 below.
4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3
above: Put L and GUIDE back in their original
positions. Then switch R and GUIDE. If indicator
lamp now is lit with a solid green light then
disconnect L and connect a new boundary wire to
L. Connect the other end of this new wire at the
middle of the suspected wire section. Follow the
same approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.
5. When the break is found, the damaged section
must be replaced with a new wire. Always use
original couplers.
