1. Strip one cm (0.5 inch) of
each wire ends together
and twist the stripped ends
together using pliers.
2. Insert the twisted wires into
the splicing connector.
3. Screw the wire connector
on the twisted wires; make
sure is tight.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Twisted cables, or a screw terminal, insulated with insulation tape is not a satisfactory splice.
Soil moisture will cause the conductors to oxidize and after a while result in broken circuit.
5.6 Winter Storage
Robomow
Remove the battery fuse and clean the Robomow (refer to sections 5.2). Store Robomow indoors in a
clean a dry place, standing on its wheels; confirm the area around the bumper is free.
Insert the battery fuse and connect the power Supply to the mains supply (figure 5.3) for the entire
period in which Robomow will not be operating; confirm ‘Charging’ is displayed and ‘Ready – keep
charging’ when the battery is fully charged.

The charging system and battery are designed such that they can remain plugged in at all times of
non-use without concern to over charging, over heating or damaging the battery.
Perimeter Switch
It is recommended to remove the Perimeter Switch for the winter period:
- Disconnect the power supply from the mains power;
- Open the Perimeter Switch cover;
- Disconnect all connectors from the board;
- Remove the Perimeter Switch and place it in dry storage;
- Disconnect the green plot connector (keep it connected on the board for the next season) from
the perimeter wire ends and protect it from moisture to prevent corrosion of the wires while not
connected to the Perimeter Switch; You may place the Friendly Robotics wire nut connector onto
both wire ends for protection in the winter.
