10 Installing the Robotic Mower
10.1 Preparing the Lawn and the Robotic Mower for
Operation
To prepare the lawn for installation of the perimeter wire:
► Mow the lawn using a conventional lawn mower. An ideal
grass height is 1.2 in. to 1.6 in. (3 cm to 4 cm).
► If the surface is hard and dry, water the mowing area
lightly in order to make it easier to drive in the perimeter
wire stakes.
To prepare the robotic mower for operation, follow the built-
in installation assistant, which guides you through the initial
installation of the robotic mower:
► Set the time and the date on the robotic mower, @ 10.2.
► Install the docking station, @ 10.3.
► Install the perimeter wire, @ 11.
► Connect the perimeter wire to the docking station,
@ 10.5.
► Link the robotic mower and the docking station, @ 10.6.
► Check the installation, @ 10.7.
► Program the robotic mower and create an automatic
mowing plan, @ 12.4.
► Complete the initial installation and begin mowing,
@ 14.5.
Consult an authorized STIHL iMow servicing dealer for
further information on installing the perimeter wire and
setting up the robotic mower. STIHL recommends having an
authorized STIHL iMow servicing dealer set up your robotic
mower.
10.2 Setting the Language, Date and Time
Always set the correct date and time to ensure an accurate
mowing plan and to prevent automatic mowing at unwanted
times.
