Getting started with the GARDENA robotic lawn mower
For more information, read the operator’s manual supplied with the product.
Before the installation
For an easy installation make sure that the grass is not higher
than 4 cm when you install the robotic lawn mower.
Good to know: The robotic lawn mower is rainproof and does
not need a garage or other shelter.
Criteria for placing the charging station:
• On level ground.
• Near an electrical outlet.
• Obstacle-free 2 m space in front of the charging station.
• If possible, in a shady spot.
To connect the charging station
Use the wire supplied with the robotic lawn mower for the installation. It serves a dual purpose:
• Boundary wire that defines the work area.
• Optional guide wires which helps the robotic lawn mower to find its way to remote areas and back to the charging station.
We recommend to install the guide wire if there is a narrow passage in the work area.
Boundary wire and guide wire must be connected at the end of the installation process. To ensure there is enough wire to do this, use about 20 cm of the boundary
wire to form an eyelet at the position where the wires will be connected when laying it.
Push the On/Off button
for 3 seconds to set the robotic
lawn mower to ON and to charge
the battery.
To lay the boundary wire
Lay out the wire on the lawn and fasten it with the stakes or bury it 1-20 cm into the ground.
Starting from the charging station, place the boundary wire around the
designated work area and all the way back to the charging station.
Lay the boundary wire and guide wire before connecting them to the
charging station.
Keep the distance: The robotic lawn mower drives past the boundary wire. To
avoid damage to the robotic lawn mower, maintain the distances indicated below:
For objects higher than 2 cm:
e.g., walls, shrubs.
For objects between 1 and 2 cm in height:
e.g., flower beds, low edging.
For objects up to 1 cm in height:
e.g., paving stones, paths.
35 cm
30 cm
10 cm
10 cm
Don’t forget the eyelet: If you use a guide wire, make the
eyelet at the point where the wire is the furthest away from the
charging station.
Cut the boundary wire by the charging station, leave an extra 50 cm to
be on the safe side. Continue with the guide wire.
Minimum
30 cm.
Refer to chapter 3 in the operator’s manual for
details about dealing with trees, slopes,
passages and secondary areas.

To lay the guide wire
Installation of guide wires is optional. Lay out a new wire between the charging station
and the eyelet you made earlier so that you can connect it with the boundary wire.
This wire guides the robotic lawn mower back to the charging station.
The guide wire and boundary wire must not cross each other at any point.
The guide wire must lead away straight
from the charging station for at least 2 m.
Cut the wire
at the centre
of the eyelet.
Insert the guide wire
and the two ends of the
boundary wire in the
couplers.
Push down the cover
on the coupler to attach
the wires.
To connect the wires to the charging station
Almost done! Attach the connectors to the ends of the wires by the charging station.

Guide wire
Did everything work so far?
If yes, the LED status light of the charging
station is lit green. If it flashes blue,
check if the wires are properly connected
(see steps , and that the coupler is
fully pushed in (see step ).
Attach the charging station to the ground with the supplied screws and the allen key.
Do not lay the guide wire in sharp bends.
If necessary, shorten the wires
so that 1–2 cm stick out.
