If the Narrow Pass is wider than 2m (6.5ft.), and you want the unit to mow the area inside the Narrow Pass, then you can set
the wire as shown in the figure below. Such a setup allows the mower to mow inside the Narrow Pass while mowing the
inner part of the lawn, but prevents it from crossing between the zones.
A. At the point you want the mower to start
driving towards the Sub-Zone start to set
the Narrow Pass.
B. Set an Island at the middle of the Narrow
Pass and keep a distance of 10 cm (4")
from the Perimeter Wire.
C. The island dimensions should be 30 cm
(12") along the side and as wide as
needed, keeping 10 cm (4") from both
sides.
D. After completing the setup of the wire in
the Sub-Zone, make sure you keep 10 cm
(4") between the wire and the island on
the way back to the Main Zone.

Fastening Perimeter Wire to the Ground
Before starting to lay the Perimeter Wire, it is recommended to cut the grass where the wire is to be laid. It will
o
then be easier to attach the wire to the ground. The risk that the mower will damage the wire during the
operation is reduced.
It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire, though you may do so, up to 5 cm (2 inches) deep.
o
Pull the wire tight while hammering the peg all the way into the ground.
o
Use a hammer to insert the pegs into the ground.
o
Insert the pegs at distances that will keep the wire
o
down below the grass level and prevent the wire from
becoming a tripping hazard (approximately 75 cm /
30" between pegs).
•
become invisible under the growth of new grass.
If an additional wire is required in order to complete
o
the setup, connect it using the water-proof wire
connectors supplied with the unit. (See Section 11.4 –
Splicing the Perimeter Wire).
WARNING!
Protect your eyes! Protect your hands!
Use proper eye protection and wear appropriate work gloves when hammering the pegs.
Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break when driving them in.
