3 Installation
3.1 Introduction - Installation
WARNING: Read and understand the
safety chapter before you install the
product.
CAUTION: Only use original spare
parts and installation material.
Note: Refer to www.gardena.com
for more
information about installation.
3.2 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.
•
Bury the boundary wire or the guide wire if
you are going to use a dethatcher on the
work area. If not, attach the boundary wire
or guide wire with stakes.
• 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.
3.3 Before the installation of the
product
•
Make a blueprint of the work area and
include all obstacles.
• 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
20
.
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
Note: Holes with water in the lawn can
cause damage to the product.
3.3.1 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.
• Keep a minimum of 30 cm / 12 in. of free
space to the right and left of the center of
the charging station.
60- cm / 24- in.
• Put the charging station near an outdoor
power outlet.
•
Put the charging station on a level surface.
Max 5 cm/2"
Max 5 c
m/2"
953 - 002 - 12.12.2018 Installation - 15
Max +/- 2 cm / 0.8 in.
• Put the charging station in the lowest
possible section of the work area.
•
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 17
.
3.3.2 To examine where to put the power
supply
•
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.
WARNING: Do not change the power
supply. Do not cut or extend the lowvoltage cable. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
Low-voltage cables of different lengths are
available as accessories.
CAUTION: Make sure that the blades
on the product do not cut the lowvoltage 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.
3.3.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION: If the work area is adjacent
to water bodies, slopes, precipices or a
public road, the boundary wire must
have a protective wall. The wall must
be minimum
15 cm / 6 in. in height.
D
E

C
F
A
• Put the boundary wire around all of the work
area (A). Adapt the distance between the
boundary wire and obstacles.
•
Put the boundary wire 35 cm / 14 in. (B)
from an obstacle that is more than 5 cm / 2
in. high.
• Put the boundary wire 30 cm / 12 in. (C)
from an obstacle that is 1-5 cm / 0.4-2 in.
high.
• Put the boundary wire 10 cm / 4 in. (D) from
an obstacle that is less than 1 cm / 0.4 in.
16 - Installation 953 - 002 - 12.12.2018
• 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.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
• 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.
•
Make an eyelet (F) where the guide wire is
to be connected to the boundary wire.
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.
3.3.3.1 To put the boundary wire in a slope
•
SILENO city and smart SILENO city: For
slopes steeper than 25% inside the work
area, isolate the slope with boundary wire.
• SILENO life and smart SILENO life: For
slopes steeper than 30% 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.
• For slopes adjacent to a public road, put a
fence or a protective wall along the outer
edge of the slope.

3.3.3.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on
each side and that connects 2 work areas. The
passage must be a minimum of
60 cm / 24 in.
wide.
Note: If a passage is less than 2
m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
3.3.3.3 To make an island
•
Put the boundary wire to and around the
obstacle to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire that run
to and from the obstacle together.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the
same stake.
0 cm / 0

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, for
example a boundary wire that
goes to an island.
