11 Installing the Perimeter Wire
► 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, @ 15.3.
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 = 42.5 in. (108 cm).
0478-131-3052-A
► Keep a minimum clearance between obstacles lower than
0.4 in. (1 cm), paths/obstacles that can be travelled on, of
b = 11 in. (27 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 each end of the corridor. Keep the following
distances:
– c = 3.9 in. (10 cm)
– d = 11 in. (27 cm)
– e = 6.7 in. (17 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.
