tached.

Attention!
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.
• Check and repair all loose/poor or corroded connec-
tions.
• Use the connectors supplied in the box. It is water-
proof and gives a reliable electrical connection.
• A maximum perimeter wire length of 500 m is recom-
mended. Areas requiring longer lengths should be
broken into separate zones.
• If not connected to the Base Station/charger at all
times when not in use, the Robomow will conserve po-
wer by entering into a deep sleep mode. Press the
main switch button (on/off) 3 seconds continuously to
wake Robomow or remove the fuse for 3 seconds.
• It is required for the charger to remain connected to
Robomow when not in use. Failure to do so can cause
permanent damage to the batteries. Contact your ser-
vice provider.
