If the Narrow Pass is wider than 2m, and you want Robomow to mow the area inside the Narrow Pass, then you<br />

can set the wire as shown in the figure below. Such a setup allows the <strong>mower</strong> to mow inside the Narrow Pass while<br />

mowing the inner part of the lawn, but prevents it from crossing between the zones.<br />

Sub-Zone<br />

A. At the point you want the <strong>mower</strong><br />

to<br />

start driving towards the Sub-Zone<br />

start to set the Narrow Pass.<br />

B. Set an Island at the middle of the<br />

Narrow Pass and keep a distance<br />

of 10 cm (4 inches) from the<br />

Perimeter Wire.<br />

C. The island dimensions should be<br />

30 cm along the side and as wide<br />

as needed, keeping 10 cm from<br />

both sides.<br />

D. After completing the setup of the<br />

wire in the Sub-Zone, make sure<br />

you keep 10 cm (4 inches)<br />

between the wire and the island<br />

on the way back to the Main Zone.<br />

4.4 Fastening Perimeter Wire to the Ground<br />

o Before starting to lay the Perimeter Wire, it is recommended to cut the grass where the wire is to be laid.<br />

It will then be easier to attach the wire to the ground. The risk that the <strong>mower</strong> will damage the wire during<br />

the operation is reduced.<br />

o It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire, though you may do so, up to 5 cm (2 inches) deep.<br />

o Pull the wire tight while hammering the peg all the way into the ground.<br />

WARNING !<br />

Protect your eyes! Protect your hands!<br />

Use proper eye protection and wear appropriate work gloves when hammering the pegs.<br />

Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break when driving them in.<br />

o Use a hammer to insert the pegs into the ground.<br />

o Insert the pegs at distances that will keep the wire<br />

down below the grass level and prevent the wire from<br />

becoming a tripping hazard (approximately 75 cm<br />

between pegs).<br />

• The wire and the pegs will gradually become<br />

invisible under the growth of new grass.<br />

o If an additional wire is required in order to complete<br />

the setup, connect it using the water-proof wire<br />

connectors supplied with Robomow. (See Section<br />

11.4 – Splicing the Perimeter Wire).<br />
