1Introduction
Thank you for your purchase. The information contained in
this manual will help you receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL robotic mower and, if followed,
reduce the risk of injury from its use.
IMPORTANT
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Because a robotic mower is a high-speed cutting
tool, designed for operation independent from
the active control o r supervision of a n operator ,
special safety precautions must be observed to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
Read this instruction manual thoroughly before
setting up your robotic mower and periodically
thereafter. Follow all safety precautions.
Careless or improper use of the robotic mower
can cause serious or fatal injury.
This robotic mower has a GPS receiver and can also
connect to the Internet over a cellular network, allowing the
operator to track mowing activity and modify certain settings
using the STIHL iMOW® Canada mobile and web apps
("iMOW® App").
Discuss setup and operation of your robotic mower with your
authorized STIHL iMOW® servicing dealer. STIHL
recommends having an authorized STIHL iMOW® servicing
dealer set up your robotic mower.
Before the robotic mower can connect to the Internet, the
unit must be unlocked by an authorized STIHL iMOW®
dealer. The dealer can also guide you through the
registration and activation process.
Do not lend or rent your robotic mower without this
instruction manual. Allow only persons who fully understand
the information in this manual to set up, operate or maintain
the robotic mower. The operator must be familiar with the
robotic mower's controls before starting work. The operator
is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
For further information, or if you do not understand any of
the instructions in this manual, please refer to the iMOW®
App, go to www.stihl.ca or contact your authorized STIHL
iMOW® servicing dealer.

iMOW® Quick Reference Guide
0000-GXX-3662-A0
For convenience, a Quick Reference Guide is included with
your iMOW®. It contains basic information about installation
and operation. Detailed information is provided in the
respective chapters of this manual.
10.1 Preparing the Lawn and the Robotic Mower for
Operation
To prepare the lawn for installation of the perimeter wire:
► Mow the lawn using a conventional lawn mower. An ideal
grass height is 2.5 in. (6.3 cm) or less.
► If the surface is hard and dry, water the mowing area
lightly in order to make it easier to drive in the perimeter
wire stakes.
► STIHL recommends that you install the perimeter wire at
least 11 in. (28 cm) from obstacles or the outer boundary
of your yard, @ 10.4. This will make continuous operation
of your robotic mower more likely. You may reduce
unmowed areas by installing the perimeter wire closer

11 Installing the Perimeter Wire
11.1 Planning the Layout of the Mowing Area
When planning the layout of the mowing area and placement
of the perimeter wire:
► Study the installation examples at the end of this
instruction manual, @ 26. Consider restricted areas,
corridors, secondary areas, search loops and reserve wire
in your planning to prevent or minimize the need for
subsequent re-routing and adjustment of the perimeter
wire.
► Determine the location of the docking station, @ 10.3.
► Remove obstacles from the mowing area and create
restricted areas as necessary, @ 11.6.
► Join all parts of the mowing area by planning and installing
corridors or secondary areas, @ 11.8 and @ 11.7.
► Plan search loops if you use the "Passage" function
("Offset Drive Home"), @ 11.9.
► Plan locations for reserve wire at several points to make it
easier to subsequently adjust or modify the path of the
perimeter wire, @ 11.13.
0478-131-8264-D

English
11 Installing the Perimeter Wire
When installing the perimeter wire:
► Use only perimeter wire and wire stakes authorized by
STIHL.
► Install the perimeter wire in a continuous loop around the
entire mowing area with a maximum length of 1640 ft.
(500 m).
► If the total length of the perimeter wire is less than 262 ft.
(80 m), the STIHL Small Area Module AKM 100 must also
be installed, @ 10.4. For more information, contact your
authorized STIHL iMOW® servicing dealer.
► Maintain the specified wire clearances specified below.
Measure the clearances using the iMOW® Ruler,
@ 11.3.
– Patios and paths with a maximum height difference
between lawn area of +/- 0.4 in. (1 cm): 0 in. (0 cm)
– Corridors: 9 in. (22 cm)
– High obstacles (e.g. walls, fences, trees): 11 in. (28 cm)
– Narrow passages: 17.3 in. (44 cm)
– Swimming pools, ponds and falling edges: 3.3 ft. (1 m)
► Avoid creating angles less than 90°. These will be difficult
for the robotic mower to navigate, and could result in
unmowed areas.
A
B
► Mowing areas must not overlap. Keep a minimum
distance of a ≥ 3.3 ft. (1 m) between the perimeter wires
of the two mowing areas of neighbor A and neighbor B.
► Install reserve lengths of perimeter wire at regular
intervals near difficult passages. Doing so makes it easier
to modify the installation of the perimeter wire or docking
station if that should become necessary.
► If burying the perimeter wire, place it at a depth of no more
than 3.9 in. (10 cm).
Burying the perimeter wire in the ground may influence
signal reception, particularly if flagstones or paving stones
are laid over the perimeter wire. The robotic mower may
then travel along at a greater offset to the perimeter wire,
requiring more space in corridors, confined areas and when
traveling along edges. Adjust the location and depth of the
perimeter wire if necessary.
NOTICE
Avoid contacting the perimeter wire when de-thatching or
aerating the lawn. Also use caution when operating a line
trimmer near the perimeter wire. De-thatching, aerating and
trimming operations can result in a cut or damaged
perimeter wire. Refer to your sketch of the mowing area and
take special care to avoid the perimeter wire when
performing these operations.
11.2 Making a Sketch of the Mowing Area
STIHL recommends making a sketch of the mowing area
that includes the following:
– The contour of the mowing area including important
obstacles, borders and any restricted areas which the
robotic mower must not mow, @ 26.
– The location and position of the docking station, @ 10.3.
– The location of the perimeter wire and any wire
connectors you have installed, @ 10.4.
– If you change the dimensions of your mowing area after
the initial setup (by adding sections or moving the
perimeter wire, for example), re-link the iMOW® to the
docking station (@ ) and run the test edge function (@ )
to measure the length of the perimeter wire and develop a
new mowing plan.

11.3 Measuring Wire Clearances with the iMOW® Ruler
The perimeter wire (1) can be routed next to surfaces such
as patios and paths as long as the surface is flat, level with
the grass, and allows the robotic mower to travel unimpeded
by obstacles. If necessary, the robotic mower may travel
with one rear wheel outside the mowing area.
English
The iMOW® Ruler is designed to help you maintain the
proper the clearances when installing the perimeter wire.
Minimum distance to be maintained between an
obstacle and the perimeter wire.
To ensure that the robotic mower runs without contacting
any obstacle, even around corners:
The maximum height difference between lawn area (2) and
obstacle (1) must not exceed 0.4 in. (1 cm).
0478-131-8264-D
► Keep a minimum clearance of the length of the
iMOW® Ruler (a = 11 in. (28 cm)) from obstacles.
► If routing the perimeter wire in confined areas, keep a
minimum clearance of 17.4 in. (44 cm), @ 11.5.
37
English
► Maintain the wire clearance a = 11 in. (28 cm) at the
corners around high obstacles such as wall corners or
high flowerbeds (2). This keeps the robotic mower from
scraping against the obstacle.
► Install the perimeter wire (1) with the aid of the
iMOW® Ruler (3) as illustrated.
11 Installing the Perimeter Wire
11.4 Measuring Wire Clearances at Corners
In tapered corners (45° - 90°) the perimeter wire should be
installed as shown. The two angles must be at least one
length of the iMOW® Ruler (a = 11 in. (28 cm)) apart so that
the robot mower can drive down the edge.
Do not include corners less than 45° into the installation of
the perimeter wire.
11.5 Routing the Perimeter Wire in Confined Areas
The robotic mower can travel automatically though narrow
passages, provided the minimum wire clearances are
maintained.
► Maintain the wire clearance a = 11 in. (28 cm) at the inner
corner of a high obstacles such as walls or high
flowerbeds (2). This keeps the robotic mower from
scraping against the obstacle.
► Install the perimeter wire (1) with the aid of the
iMOW® Ruler (3) as illustrated.
38
► If you route the wire between obstacles higher than 0.4 in.
(1 cm), e.g. walls or hedges, keep a minimum wire
clearance of one length of the iMOW® ruler (b = 11 in.
(28 cm)).
0478-131-8264-D
11 Installing the Perimeter Wire
► If you route the wire between obstacles lower than 0.4 in.
(1 cm), e.g. paths or patios, keep a minimum wire
clearance of c = 17.4 in. (44 cm).
► Route the perimeter wire to block off narrower areas in
which a < 39.4 in. (100 cm).
► If you route the perimeter wire in a confined area,
deactivate the passage function (offset drive home), @
or install a search loop, @ 11.9.
11.6 Routing Around Restricted Areas
A restricted area is an area that the robotic mower must
avoid, including obstacles that cannot be mowed or objects
that the mower can't bump off of to change direction, such
as flower beds, trees with buttressed roots, etc.
► Install a restricted area around such obstacles.
English
► Keep a minimum clearance of b = 17.4 in. (44 cm)
between the perimeter wire routed around a restricted
area and the perimeter wire at the edge of the mowing
area.
► Keep a minimum clearance within a radius of at least
c = 6.6 ft. (2 m) around the docking station (1).
► To ensure a robust operation, install restricted areas in a
round shape - no oval, angular or inwardly curved shapes.
► Maintain the wire clearance a = 11 in. (28 cm) around the
obstacle (2) to prevent the robotic mower from scraping
against the obstacle (2).
► Install the perimeter wire (1) with the aid of the
iMOW® Ruler (3) as illustrated.
► The diameter of any restricted area must be at least 22 in.
(56 cm) and no more than 9.8 ft. (3 m).
0478-131-8264-D
► Route the perimeter wire from the edge to the obstacle
with the proper clearance.
► Route the perimeter wire around the obstacle (2) and
attach it to the ground using a sufficient number of wire
stakes (3). Observe the installation direction (arrows).
► Then route the perimeter wire back to the edge. The
segment of perimeter wire routed back to the edge (4)
must be laid directly next to the segment leading to the
restricted area. Keep the segments parallel. When the
wire is laid side-by-side, the signal is canceled and the
iMOW® will mow directly over this section of perimeter

wire. If the wires are separated, however, the iMOW® will
not traverse the wire and the area between the two
segments of perimeter wire will not be mowed.
► After routing the perimeter wire back to the edge, do not
cross the sections of the perimeter wire. Continue the
installation around the perimeter of the mowing area. The
perimeter wire must exit the restricted area in the direction
opposite to the direction in which it entered the restricted
area, @ 11.10.
NOTICE
STIHL recommends checking the proper installation of
restricted areas using the "Test edge" function, @ .
11.7 Installing Linked Areas and Secondary Areas
Linked areas (B) and secondary areas (C) are parts of the
mowing area that are not located in the primary mowing
area (A) where the docking station (1) is located.
A secondary area is an area that iMOW® cannot physically
drive to. It cannot be mowed automatically. The robotic
mower must be picked up and carried to the secondary area
and brought back to the primary area when mowing is
complete.
Linked areas (B) can only be mowed automatically if they
are linked by corridors or linking sections.
► Route the perimeter wire (2) in the same direction in all
linked areas and secondary areas.
► Connect the linked areas to the primary mowing area by
installing corridors (@ 11.8) or linking
sections (@ 11.10). Never cross perimeter wires in the
linking areas. Keep them parallel.
► Activate secondary areas in the "Settings – Installation"
menu, @ .
11.8 Installing Corridors
A corridor joins a linked area to the primary mowing area,
e.g. a mowing area in front of and behind the house. This
allows both mowing areas to be mowed automatically.
In corridors, the lawn is only mowed along the path of the
perimeter wire. In order for the iMOW® to mow the linked
area, a starting point in the linked area must be defined,
@ 15.6.
The wire spacing and the STIHL Corridor Pattern are
matched to the installation of the perimeter wire on the lawn
surface. If the perimeter wire is buried very deeply, e.g.
under stone paving, the dimensions differ. Check the
function and adjust the wire installation if necessary.
In corridors, the lawn is only mowed along the path of the
perimeter wire.
To install a corridor:
► Remove stones, pieces of metal, glass, wire or other
objects that could be thrown or flung by the cutting
attachment.
► Keep a minimum clearance between obstacles higher
than 0.4 in. (1 cm) of a = 34.6 in. (88 cm).

► Route the perimeter wire (1) parallel to the ground and
attach it to the ground with a sufficient number of wire
stakes (2).
► Install a gate, which is a funnel-shaped entrance and exit
area at the start and the end of the corridor. Keep the
following distances:
–c=2.4in. (6cm)
– d = 9 in. (22 cm)
– e = 9 in. (22 cm)
The iMOW® will not enter the corridor unintentionally.
► Install the perimeter wire (1) in a straight line on the left
and right side of the corridor entrance. The straight line
must be at least one length of the robotic mower.
► Use the tunnel-shaped STIHL Corridor Pattern (C) to
install the gate at each end of the corridor.
► When using the "Passage" feature ("Offset Drive Home"),
search loops must be installed in the linked area in order
for the iMOW® to be able to locate the gate and return to
the docking station, @ 11.9.
► Define at least 1 starting point in the linked area, @ 15.6.
► If necessary, activate automatic edge mowing or mow the
corridor area manually on a regular basis, @ .
Corridor Installation Example
The docking station (1) is installed in the primary mowing
area (A). A linked mowing area (B) is linked to the primary
mowing area with a corridor (2). The perimeter wire (3) can
be followed by the robotic mower. To ensure mowing of the
linked mowing area, two starting points (4) were defined.
0478-131-8264-D
11.9 Installing Search Loops
If the "Passage" function ("Offset Drive Home") is activated,
search loops must be installed to help the robotic mower
recognize the location of an external docking station, a
corridor or a confined area. If the robotic mower crosses a
search loop during its drive home, the robotic mower will
then directly travel to the perimeter wire and to the docking
station or through the corridor or confined area.

docking station.
To install a search loop in combination with a corridor:
► Install two search loops (1) at an angle of 90° in the part
of the mowing area that can only be reached via a corridor.
► Keep a minimum clearance of a = 6.6 ft. (2 m) from the
corridor entrance.
11.10 Installing Linking Sections
A linking section links a secondary area to the primary
mowing area, e.g. a mowing area in front of and behind the
house that the iMOW® cannot travel to on its own. This
allows both mowing areas to be mowed automatically.
► Install two search loops (1), each at a 90° angle on the left
and right side of the docking station.
42
► Route the perimeter wire (1) parallel and close to one
another.

11.11 Accurate Mowing Along Edges
► Along high obstacles, route the perimeter wire with a
minimum clearance of a = 11 in. (28 cm) from the
obstacle. This buffer area will be left unmowed.
To avoid the buffer area which will be left unmowed, you can
lay edging stones or pavers around high obstacles, e.g.
walls. The width of the eding stones must be at least
b = 10.2 in. (26 cm).
11.12 Sloping Terrain in the Mowing Area
To install the perimeter wire at a slope with an incline of 5°
to 15°:
► Route the perimeter wire (1) past the top edge of the
slope, keeping a minimum clearance of a = 19.7 in.
(0.5 m).
1
15
NOTICE
STIHL recommends that you install the perimeter wire at a
maximum pitch of +/- 10 degrees. The perimeter wire can be
installed up to +/- 15 degrees, but this can require additional
adjustments to the perimeter wire installation. Slopes should
also be noted in the garden sketch.
Maintain a minimum distance of at least 39.4 in. (100 cm)
from water and other potential drop-offs, such as edges and
steps.
0478-131-8264-D
0000-GXX-4396-A1
► If the incline exceeds 15°, route the perimeter wire so that
the robotic mower will stop before it reaches the edge of
the slope. The top edge of the slope and the slope itself
should remain outside the mowing area.
11.13 Installing Reserve Wire
Installing reserve lengths of perimeter wire at regular
intervals will make it easier to later modify the mowing area
or placement of the docking station if that should become
necessary.
43
English
a

14.5 Mowing Plan
Mowing Plan Theory of Operation
Before changing your mowing plan, read the following
section carefully.
During the initial setup, the iMOW® will automatically
calculate an appropriate automatic mowing plan. That plan
consists of active times and a weekly mowing duration.
Active times are those windows of time in which the iMOW®
is programmed to mow automatically. The iMOW® will only
mow in automatic mode during the active times. The mowing
duration is the total number of hours the iMOW® will mow
per week.
Satisfactory cutting results depend on the iMOW® having
sufficient mowing duration and sufficient active times to
complete the mowing operation for the entire lawn. In the
"Dynamic" mowing plan setting, automatic mowing will
cease once the iMOW® has reached its total allotted
mowing duration for the week, even if there are remaining
active times scheduled. In the "Standard" mowing plan
setting, the iMOW® will operate throughout all active times.
Mowing operations will only be interrupted by charging
operations.
The active times and mowing duration must be set properly
to ensure that a sufficient number of mowing hours are set
each week (mowing duration) and that the iMOW® has
sufficient windows of time (active times) to complete the
mowing.
0478-131-8264-D
51
English
If you increase the mowing duration, be sure to expand the
active times as well to accommodate the increased number
of mowing hours. The total weekly active time must be
higher than the total weekly mowing duration in order to
account for charging time and to provide a buffer in case
active times are missed due to rainfall.
The status screen displays the remaining mowing duration
for the week and the next scheduled active time.
Mowing Plan Menu
Automatic mowing
On - Automatic mowing is switched on. The robotic mower
will operate at the next active time.
Off - All active times are disabled.
Pause today - The robotic mower pauses until the next day.
This option is only available if there are active times left
during the current day.
Mowing duration
The total weekly mowing hours can be adjusted.
This option is only available in the “Dynamic“ mowing plan

14 Menu Functions
The rectangular blocks displayed in black beneath the days
of the week represent the saved active times. When
automatic mowing is turned on, mowing operations take
place only during active times. The iMOW® will not mow
during all active times as the iMOW® may return to the
docking station if it starts raining or the iMOW® requires
charging.
Blocks displayed in grey represent active times without
mowing operations, e.g. where the active time has been
deactivated by the operator. When automatic mowing is
turned off, the entire mowing plan is deactivated and all
active times are shown in grey.

Keep bystanders, especially children, and pets out of the
mowing area during active times. Never allow children to
approach or play with the robotic mower. Keep children and
pets away from the mower while it is in operation. Never
allow the robotic mower to operate if you know that animals
or persons are or may be in the mowing area or vicinity.
Next to every active time, a symbol shows the current status
of the active time:
This symbol indicates that the active time is
activated. The robotic mower will mow automatically
according to the mowing plan.
This symbol indicates that the active time is

sometimes because part of the mowing area is accessible
only through a corridor.
Starting points can be set in two different ways.
"Teaching-in" starting points
Press the OK button. The robotic mower will begin to
travel along the perimeter wire. If it is not docked, it
first travels to the docking station. All current existing
starting points are deleted.
To teach-in up to 4 starting points:
► Save each starting point by pressing the OK button during
the robotic mower's travel around the perimeter wire.
► The teach-in procedure is interrupted automatically when
the robotic mower contacts obstacles along the perimeter
wire. If the teach-in procedure is interrupted, remove any
obstacles that may be found along the cutting path or
correct the installation of the perimeter wire.
► If necessary, interrupt the teach-in procedure manually by
pressing the STOP button.
► Check the position of the robotic mower before continuing
the teach-in procedure. The robotic mower must be
located on the perimeter wire or within the mowing area
facing the perimeter wire.
► The starting frequency defines how often a mowing
operation is to begin from a starting point. The default
setting is 2 of 10 mowing operations (2/10) at each starting
point. You can change the starting frequency as desired
after each teach-in.
► If the teach-in procedure has been ended prematurely,
send the robotic mower back the to docking station.
Setting starting points 1 to 4 manually:
Press the OK button. All existing starting points are
deleted.
To manually set up to 4 starting points:
► Determine the distance of the starting points from the
docking station, measured in a clockwise direction.
► Set a starting frequency between 0 of 10 mowing
operations (0/10) and 10 of 10 mowing operations (10/10).
The docking station is defined as starting point 0. Mowing
operations will start from the docking station as a default.
Setting a mowing radius
The robotic mower can be programmed to mow within a
radius specified at a starting point. Each starting point can
be assigned a radius from 10 ft. to 100 ft. (3 m to 30 m),
which will be mowed for a period of time before the robotic
mower moves on to other areas of the yard.
15.7 Direct Drive Home
► The direct drive home function allows the robotic mower to
drive home directly across the mowing area.
Active: Direct drive home function is active. The robotic
mower travels across the mowing area when returning to the
docking station.
Inactive: Direct drive home function is inactive. The robotic
mower follows the edge when returning to the docking
station.

► The test run ends automatically when the robotic mower
reaches the docking station.
► The message "Test run process successful" appears.
Direct drive home is active.
Test run process failed
The test run is interrupted when the robotic mower bumps
into an obstruction or the operator presses the STOP button.
After an interruption, the test run has to be restarted from the
docking station.
► The message "Cancel test run - Test run failed" appears.
► A question appears, asking if the test run should be
cancelled.
► If "No" is selected: The robotic mower follows the edge
until it reaches the docking station. The test run must be
restarted for the mowing area to be mapped
successfully.
► If "Yes" is selected: The robotic mower must be carried
to the docking station.
► A question appears, asking if another test run should be
started.
► After confirming, put the robotic mower into the docking
station, confirm with OK and close the flap. The test run
starts over.

17 During Operation
17.1 Automatic Mowing
WARNING
Keep bystanders, especially children, and pets out of the
mowing area during active times. Never allow children to
approach or play with the robotic mower. Keep children and
pets away from the mower while it is in operation. Never
allow the robotic mower to operate if you know that animals
or persons are or may be in the mowing area or vicinity.
When automatic mowing is switched on, the robotic mower
independently leaves the docking station and mows the lawn
during the active times set by the operator, @ 14.6. In the
“Standard“ mowing plan setting, the robotic mower mows
the lawn throughout the whole active time, only interrupted
by charging operations. In the “Dynamic“ mowing plan
setting, the number and duration of the mowing and
charging operations within the active times are determined
automatically.
The mowing plan is determined based on the size of the
mowing area, which is calculated during installation or
during the creation of a new mowing plan.
When you switch on automatic mowing, the display
shows the automatic mowing symbol next to the
battery symbol.
► Define starting points within linked areas to ensure that
linked areas will be mowed regularly.
► To end an active mowing operation manually, activate the
“Drive home“ menu, press the STOP button on the robotic
mower or press the ON/OFF/Home button on the docking
station twice at any time.

17.2 Mowing Duration
The mowing duration specifies how many hours per week
the robotic mower will mow the lawn. Charging time is not
included in the mowing duration.
During initial installation, the robotic mower automatically
calculates the mowing duration appropriate for your lawn
based on the size of the mowing area.
To complete a mowing area of approximately 1076 sq. ft.
(100 m²), the robotic mower will need approximately 100
minutes on average.
► If necessary, extend or reduce the active times and
mowing duration, @ 14.6 and @ .
Mowing duration can also be set using the iMOW® App.
17.3 Opening and Closing the Flap
The robotic mower is equipped with a flap which protects the
display from the weather and from inadvertent operation. If
the flap is opened during use of the robotic mower, operation
is stopped and the mowing blade and robotic mower come
to a standstill.
To open the flap:
► Press the STOP button during running operation.

English
17 During Operation
– Level S2: 1.01 in. (25.7 mm)
– Level S3: 1.24 in. (31.4 mm)
– Level 4: 1.46 in. (37.1 mm)
– Level 5: 1.69 in. (42.8 mm)
– Level 6: 1.91 in. (48.5 mm)
– Level 7: 2.13 in. (54.2 mm)
– Level 8: 2.4 in. (60 mm)
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the perimeter wire, set the cutting height
to level 4 or higher for the first few weeks. This will allow the
grass to grow through and flap the perimeter wire. Levels
S1, S2 and S3 are special heights suitable only for flat lawns
with elevation changes of less than +/- 0.4 in. (1 cm).
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of damaging the robotic mower, never
attempt to lift, carry or transport the robotic mower by the
rotary knob. The rotary knob is designed to come off the
robotic mower if pulled. This prevents the unit from being
lifted and carried by the rotary knob.
NOTICE
To avoid overloading the motor, avoid setting the cutting
height too low in tall grass. If the motor slows or bogs down
when entering the grass, activate the disabling device and
raise the cutting height.
In the "Dynamic" mowing plan setting, the robotic mower
automatically distributes the mowing and charging
operations between the available time windows. Under
certain circumstances (e.g. when grass growth is slowed by
dry conditions), not all the active times may be necessary for
optimal lawn care.
The active times and the mowing duration can be changed
manually. You can set up to 3 different active times per day,
@ 14.5.
► You may wish to change the mowing duration and active
times for one of the following reasons:
– Additional active times for further mowing operations
are necessary to complete the weekly mowing duration.
– The active times need to be modified to prevent mowing
during a particular time of day.
– Individual active times need to be omitted because the
mowing area will be in use, e.g., for a backyard party.
► You may wish to extend the mowing duration and active
times for one of the following reasons:
– There are areas which are not mowed sufficiently.
– Intensive grass growth.
– Particularly dense lawn.
► You may wish to reduce the mowing duration and active
times when there is slower grass growth due to heat, cold
or dryness.
► You must re-link the docking station and create a new
mowing plan if the size of the mowing area has been
changed or the docking station has been relocated.
17.5 Adjusting the Mowing Duration and Active Times
During active times, the robotic mower leaves the docking
station and mows the lawn autonomously. During these
times, mowing operations, charging operations and, in the
"Dynamic" mowing plan setting, rest periods take place.
In the "Standard" mowing plan setting, the robotic mower
mows throughout all active times, and is only interrupted by
charging operation.

22.3 Searching for a Wire Break
The LED on the docking station flashes red when there is a
break in the perimeter wire.
The following instructions describe how to search for a wire
break in a clockwise direction, i.e. if the perimeter wire is
followed in a clockwise direction when facing the charging
contacts of the docking station. The search can also be
performed in a counterclockwise direction if necessary.
However, if you search in a counterclockwise direction, you
must disconnect the right perimeter wire end.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the
power supply from the electrical socket before removing the
cover of the docking station.
To find a wire break:
► Press the ON/OFF/Home button on the docking station
one time to activate the search for a wire break. The LED
on the docking station will continue to flash red, while in
the search function.

wire (2).
► Starting at the docking station, follow the edge of the
mowing area in a clockwise direction with the robotic
mower (1). Ensure that the perimeter wire (2) runs under
the wire sensor in the robotic mower. The wire sensors are
installed in a protected position on the left and right at the
front of the robotic mower.
► During the wire break search, the signal strength is
indicated on the display. The wire sensors are in the ideal
position above the perimeter wire when this value is at its
highest.
