Setup & Installation

A robot mower is only as good as its first afternoon of setup. Get the boundary right and the charging base placed well, and the machine quietly disappears into your routine. Get it wrong and you spend weekends rescuing a stuck mower. This section walks through both worlds: pegging or burying a perimeter wire without kinks or gaps, and mapping a wire-free GPS lawn with an antenna and app. We cover base station placement, guide wires, no-go zones around ponds and flower beds, scheduling around how fast your grass grows, and the all-important first test run. Every guide assumes you have never done this before, so nothing is skipped and no acronym goes unexplained.
