10.3 Installing the Docking Station
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury during installation and operation,
read and follow the docking station safety precautions and
instructions in this manual, @ 6. To reduce the risk of eye
injury, always wear close-fitting protective eyewear when
installing the docking station and perimeter wire, @ 5.3.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install the
docking station's power supply at least one foot off the
ground and ensure that there is no risk that it may be
immersed in water or other liquids. Do not place the power
supply on the ground or at ground level. Always install the
power supply on a stable surface.
WARNING
Since the docking station and power supply heat up during
the charging process, do not operate the docking station on
a combustible surface or in a location where combustible
gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other materials and
substances are present, @ 6.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, connect the
docking station only to a covered Class A GFCI receptacle
that has an enclosure that is weatherproof with an
attachment plug cap inserted or removed. Do not use with
receptacles that are weatherproof only when the receptacle
is covered (attachment plug cap not inserted and receptacle
cover closed). Ensure that the docking station is located in
sufficient proximity to reach a covered Class A GFCI
receptacle with the 33 ft. (10 m) power supply cord. Do not
use an extension cord. Use of extension cords are not
authorized and increase the risk of electric shock and fire.
Always ensure that the power supply cord is out of the
cutting path of the robotic mower.
► Depending on your lawn, you may install the docking
station partly within the mowing area (internal docking
station) or outside the mowing area (external docking
station). Review the installation examples provided in this
instruction manual, @ 25.
