Teun & Katrien: Installation of the charging station
The charging station must be positioned as shown below. So, if you are in the field, the mower must drive away to the right. The charging station must always be parallel to the field, as described in the manual. (Possibly 20cm from a corner at the back).
If the robot is started manually, it will not mow the edges but will go directly into the field.
The operation of the robot is as follows:
The robot starts, turns around, and drives over the cable in the middle until it reaches the back of the charging station. After that, it will enter the field.
Placement in a Veranda/Garden shed:
If the charging station is in the veranda or garden shed, the robot will have to drive through the entire veranda to get to the back. Besides, the cable will then lie over the tiles and can therefore cause a tripping hazard.
The cable at the back must be about one meter between the incoming and outgoing cable. Otherwise, the robot will see both cables and not know where to go. Placement in the veranda/garden shed is therefore actually not possible
We recommend always placing the charging station on the side on the grass.
The power cable can easily be extended with an outdoor extension power cable. For more questions, please feel free to send an email to: Service@zoefrobot.nl
