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.mcculloch.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
18
.
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"

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 16
.
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.

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.
985 - 004 - 22.01.2019 Installation - 15
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
For slopes steeper than 35% 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.

-35%
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
