If the working area consists of two separate lawn areas where the Robotic Lawnmower can’t move by itself, we recommended making it possible to lay the wire to the other areas. In this case, the Robotic Lawnmower is supported manually between main and secondary areas. Use the MAN mode and the Robotic Lawnmower mows until the battery is empty. Using this method, you will Need to take the Robotic Lawnmower to the charging station by yourself.

See the operating instructions for detailed information about this procedure.

The area in front of the charging station is a high-traffic location. The Robotic Lawnmower should be able to start in any directionsand return to the charging station from any direction. For the (smart) SILENO / SILENO+ you have a choice of where to position the charging station. For further information, see section "How to install the charging station for the GARDENA Robotic Lawnmower" in the operating instructions.

It is better to avoid long narrow passages and Areas narrower than 1.5 m. Otherwise the Robotic Lawnmower might mow the passage for too long or be unable to remove itself from the passage.

That depends on the Robotic Lawnmower. R38Li, R40Li, R45Li and R50Li: The minimum width is 90 cm between the boundary wires. R70Li, (smart) SILENO / SILENO+: The minimum width is 60 cm between the boundary wires.
