11 Installing the Perimeter Wire
NOTICE
STIHL recommends checking the proper installation of
restricted areas after initial installation or after changes to
the wire installation using the "Test edge" command,
@ 14.3.
11.6 Installing Linked Areas and Secondary Areas

Linked areas (B) and secondary areas (C) are parts of the
mowing area that are not located in the primary mowing
area (A) where the docking station (1) is located.
A secondary area is an area that iMow cannot physically
drive to. It cannot be mowed automatically. The robotic
mower must be picked up and carried to the secondary area
and brought back to the primary area when mowing is
complete.
Linked areas (B) can only be mowed automatically if they
are linked by corridors or linking sections.
► Route the perimeter wire (2) in the same direction in all
linked areas and secondary areas.
► Connect the linked areas to the primary mowing area by
installing corridors (@ 11.7) or linking
sections (@ 11.9). Never cross perimeter wires in the
linking areas. Keep them parallel.
► Activate secondary areas in the "Settings – Installation"
menu, @ 15.3.

11.7 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.
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 0.8 in. (2 cm) of a = 34.6 in. (88 cm).
► Keep a minimum clearance between obstacles lower than
0.8 in. (2 cm), paths/obstacles that can be travelled on, of
b = 8.7 in. (22 cm).
► Route the perimeter wire (1) parallel to the ground and
attach it to the ground with a sufficient number of wire
stakes (2).
