2. PRESENTATION
2. Presentation
This chapter contains information you should be aware
of when planning the installation.
An installation of Husqvarna Automower™ includes
four main components:
Automower, an automatic lawn mower that mows the
lawn by moving in essentially an irregular pattern.
The mower is powered by a maintenance-free
battery.
3012-691
Charging station, where your Automower returns
when the charge level in the battery becomes too low.
The charging station has three functions:
•
•
To send control signals along the boundary wire.
To send out signals so Automower finds the
charging station.
•
To charge Automower battery.
3012-509
Transformer, which is connected between the
charging station and a 230V wall socket. The
transformer is connected to the wall socket via an
integrated power cord and to the charging station via
a 20 m long low voltage cable. The low voltage cable
must not be extended.
3012-220
Wire, laid in a loop around Automower’s working
area. The boundary wire is laid around the edges of
the lawn and around objects and plants that the
mower must not run into. The wire is also used for
any guide wires.
The wire supplied with the installation is 400 m long
(250 m for 220 AC). If this is not sufficient more wire
can be purchased, with a connector, and spliced onto
the existing wire.

2. PRESENTATION
2.2 Function of Automower™
Capacity
Automower is recommended for lawns up to 3000 m2
(1800 m2 for 220 AC).
How large an area is mown depends primarily on the
condition of the blades and the type of grass, growth
rate and humidity. The shape of the garden is also
significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns,
Automower can mow more per hour than if the garden
consists of several small lawns separated by trees,
flower beds and passages.
How long Automower mows and recharges can vary
depending on, among others, the ambient
temperature. Up to about 25 °C a fully charged
Automower mows for approximately 60 - 90 minutes,
(40 - 60 minutes for 220 AC), depending on the age of
the battery and the thickness of the grass. The mower
then charges for 45 - 60 minutes. Above 25 °C both the
mowing and charging times gradually drop.
Mowing technique
The mowing system used by Automower is based on
an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike
normal lawn mowers, Automower cuts the grass
instead of striking it off.
We recommend you allow Automower to mainly mow
in dry weather to obtain the best possible result.
Automower can even mow in the rain, however, wet
grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of
slipping on steep slopes is greater.
When there is a risk of thunder Automower should not
stand in the charging station. When there is a risk of a
thunder storm, the 230 V plug should be removed from
the mains socket and the boundary wire disconnected
from the charging station.
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the
best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp
for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn
free from branches, small stones and other objects.

2. PRESENTATION
Working method
Automower automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The charging station sends out a signal that
Automower can sense at a distance of 6 - 7 metres.
The mower starts to search for the charging station
when the battery charge becomes too low.
Automower does not mow when it is searching for the
charging station.
When Automower searches for the charging station it
uses one or more of three different search methods:
Irregular, Follow boundary wire and Follow guide
wire. For more information about the search
methods, see 2.3 Search method on page 15 and
Follow loop in (3-2-2) on page 53.
3012-510
When the battery is charged the mower reverses,
turns around and leaves the charging station in a
randomly selected direction within the exit sector
90° - 270°.
To make it easier for Automower to reach all parts of
the garden you can manually set how the mower will
leave the charging station, see 6.5 Garden (3) on
page 49.
3012-511
When Automower body hits an obstacle, the mower
reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, at the front and back on Automower,
sense when the mower approaches the boundary
wire. Automower overruns the wire by up to
27 centimetres before it turns. The overrun length
can be set, see Drive past wire (3-4-2) on page 57.

2. PRESENTATION
The STOP button on the top of Automower is mainly
used to stop the mower when it’s running. When the
STOP button is pressed a cover opens, behind which
there is a control panel. The STOP button remains
depressed until the cover is closed again. This acts
as start inhibitor.
3012-388
The control panel on the top of Automower is where
you manage all the mower settings. The main switch
is also located on the control panel. Open the control
panel cover by pressing down the STOP button.
When the main switch is turned ON for the first time, a
start-up sequence begins which includes: selection of
the language, time format, date format and four digit
PIN code, plus setting of the time and date, see
page 32.
The selected PIN code must then be entered each
time the main switch is moved to the ON position.
This theft-prevention function is called Time lock
(4-1-2) and Automower has this function activated as a
default setting. The function also means that the
mower stops mowing after a set number of days and
will not continue until the correct PIN code has been
entered. The function can be deactivated or changed
as required. For more information about Time lock
(4-1-2), see page 58.
3012-700
The Automower can enter a sleep mode to save
power. The display on the control panel is then
completely dimmed.
The sleep mode is activated 25 minutes after the
STOP button has been pressed and then not reset to
the operating mode. Automower is then activated by
switching the main switch off and on.
The sleep mode can also be activated in the event of
a fault occurring during mowing or charging and
which is not rectified within 25 minutes. Automower is
then activated by pressing the STOP button.

2. PRESENTATION
Movement pattern
The mower’s movement pattern is irregular and is
determined by Automower itself. A movement pattern
is never repeated. This mowing system means the
lawn is mown equally without any mowing lines.
3012-695
If Automower enters an area where it senses the
grass is longer than earlier, it can change the
movement pattern. It can then mow in a square
pattern to cover the area of longer grass more
systematically.
When Automower mows in a square pattern, this is
known as square mode cutting. The mower must
have been operational for more than 6 hours in order
for Automower to start square mode cutting.
3012-696
2.3 Search method
Automower can be set to search for the charging
station in three different ways. Using the setting
options the three search methods can be combined to
optimise the search for the charging station. The
required search method or methods depends on the
shape of the garden.
Search method 1: Irregular
Automower runs irregularly until it finds the charging
station.
This search method is best for an installation that has
an open lawn and no narrow passages (narrower
than about 3 metres).
The advantage of this search method is that there is
no risk of leaving tracks in the grass after the mower.
The disadvantage is that the search times can be
somewhat longer.
3012-483

2. PRESENTATION
Search method 2: Follow boundary wire
Automower runs irregularly until it reaches the boundary
wire. The mower then follows the boundary wire in to the
charging station.
This search method is best for an installation that has an
open lawn with wide passages (wider than about
3 metres) and no, or only a small, island.
The advantage of this search method is that the search
times are generally short.
The disadvantage is that tracks can be formed to a
certain extent in the grass behind the mower. Problems
can also arise if there are narrow passages or a large
number of islands, for example, bushes. Automower
circles an island roughly twice, which can take a long time
and create tracks.
3012-484
Search method 3: Follow guide wire
Automower runs irregularly until it reaches the guide
wire. The mower then follows the guide wire in to the
charging station.
The guide wire is an extra wire that is laid from the
charging station, out towards a remote part of the
working area or through a narrow passage and is then
connected to the boundary wire. Up to two guide wires
can be installed for 230 ACX. For more information, see
3.8 Installation of the guide wire on page 33.
This search method is best for an installation that has
numerous or large islands, narrow passages or steep
slopes.
3012-677
The advantage of this search method is that the search
times are generally short.
The disadvantage is that the mower can leave tracks in
the grass along the length of the guide wire.
2.4 More than one Automower™ in
a garden
If you install more than one Automower in the same
area of lawn, each mower must have its own PIN code.
A complete installation, including charging station, is
required for each mower. The boundary wires for the
different installations can be routed next to each other.
Contact your dealer for further information.
2.5 One Automower™ in several
gardens
One Automower can easily be used for more than one
garden, where each garden has its own charging
station and boundary wire. The mower can then have
the same PIN code for all gardens.
Contact your dealer for further information.

3. INSTALLATION
3. Installation
This chapter describes how you install Husqvarna
Automower™. Before starting the installation read the
previous chapter 2. Presentation.
Read the whole of this chapter too before starting the
installation. How the installation is made also affects
how well Automower will work. It is therefore important
to plan the installation carefully.
Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the
working area, including all obstacles. This makes it
easier to see the ideal positions for the charging
station, boundary wire and guide wire, if used. Draw on
the sketch how the boundary wire and the guide wire, if
used, should be routed.
Carry out the installation in the following steps:
3.1 Preparations.
3.2 Installation of the charging station.
3.3 Charging the battery.
3.4 Installation of the boundary wire.
3.5 Connecting the boundary wire.
3.6 Checking the installation.
3.7 Linking Automower™ to the charging station.
3.8 Installation of the guide wire.
To carry out a complete start-up of Automower the
charging station must be in position and connected,
the boundary wire connected, and the mower
connected to the charging station. If you would like to
start the mower without having completed the full
boundary installation, you can connect a temporary
short loop around the mower.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Preparations
1. If the lawn in the proposed working area is taller
than 10 cm, mow it using a normal lawn mower.
Then collect the clippings.
2. Read carefully through all the steps before the
installation.
3. Check that all parts for the installation are
included:
The numbers in brackets refer to the detail
diagram 2.1 Automower™, what’s what? on
page 11.
• Operator’s Manual (26)
• Automower
• Charging station (15)
3012-512
• Loop wire for the boundary wire and guide wire
(18)
• Transformer (19)
• Low voltage cable (20)
• Staples (21)
• Connector for the loop wire (22)
• Nails (23)
• Measurement gauge (24)
• Solderless coupler for the loop wire (25)
During installation you will also need: A hammer to
knock the staples into the ground, combination pliers,
and a straight spade if the boundary wire is to be
buried.
3.2 Installation of the charging
station
Ideal position of the charging station
For examples of good positioning of the charging
station, see 7. Garden example on page 63.
If you are going to install a guide wire, read 3.8
Installation of the guide wire, see page 33, before
choosing the position of the charging station.
The charging station must be positioned with a great
deal of free area in front of it (at least 3 metres). It
should also be positioned centrally in the working
area so that Automower can easily find the charging
station and quickly reach all parts of the working area.
It is a good idea to place the charging station in the
shadow. The battery is spared if it is charged in the
lowest possible ambient temperature.
3012-510
18 - English

3. INSTALLATION
The charging station must be positioned on relatively
level ground. The height difference must not differ
more than 5 cm between the front and rear of the
charging station.
3012-554
The charging station must not be positioned so that
its plate bends.
3012-532
Consider the distance to a wall socket when choosing
the position. The charging station should be
connected to a 230V wall socket via the low voltage
cable and transformer.
The supplied low voltage cable is 20 metres long.
Tip! It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross
the working area. It must then be either stapled down
or buried. In some cases there is a better positioning
option for the charging station than close to a house
wall or by the closest wall socket.
3012-220
3012-223
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The low voltage cable must not be extended.
The transformer must be placed where it is well
ventilated and is not exposed to direct sunlight. It is
also beneficial if the transformer can be placed under a
roof.
It is recommended to use an earth fault-breaker when
connecting the transformer to the wall socket.
Do not put the charging station in a corner or pocket
in the working area.
3012-513

3. INSTALLATION
Avoid placing the charging station in a narrow
passage (narrower than about 3 metres).
3012-514
3012-515
Do not position the charging station so that the
mower can come closer than 3 metres behind the
charging station (for example on a narrow point). The
mower will not then find the charging station.
3012-744
Installation and connecting the charging
station
1. Position the charging station in a suitable spot.
2. Secure the charging station to the ground using
the supplied nails.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is not permitted to make new holes in the
plate. Only the existing holes may be used to
secure the plate to the ground.

3. INSTALLATION
3. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging
station.
Only use original cable and transformer.
3012-263
4. Connect the low voltage cable to the
transformer.
The connectors may be slightly difficult to
connect, as they are moisture-proof.
3012-262
5. Connect the transformer’s power cord to a 230V
wall socket. It is preferable to use an earth-fault
breaker as recommended.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not tread or walk on the charging station
plate.

3. INSTALLATION
3.3 Charging the battery
Automower is supplied with an uncharged battery. As
soon as the charging station is connected, it is possible
to charge the mower.
1. Set the main switch to the OFF position.
2. Place Automower in the charging station to
charge the battery while you are laying the
boundary wire.
From an uncharged state the battery takes about
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours until it is fully charged.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Automower cannot be used before the
installation is complete.
3012-385
3.4 Installation of the boundary wire
The boundary wire can be installed in one of the
following ways:
•
Securing the wire to the ground with staples.
It is preferable to staple down the boundary cable,
if you want to make adjustments to the boundary
wire during the first few weeks of operation.
•
Bury the wire.
It is preferable to bury the boundary wire if you
want to dethatch or aerate the lawn.
If necessary both methods can be combined so one
part of the boundary wire is stapled down and the
remainder is buried.
Best position for the boundary wire
The boundary wire should be laid so it:
•

Boundaries for the working area
If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence,
borders the working area, the boundary wire should
be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent
Automower from colliding with the obstacle and
reduce body wear.
35 cm
3012-382
If the working area borders against a small ditch, for
example, a flower bed or a small elevation, e.g. a low
verge (3 - 5 cm), the boundary wire should be laid
30 cm inside the working area. This prevents the
wheels from driving into the ditch or up onto the
verge.
30cm

3. INSTALLATION
If the working area borders against a flat path or the
like that lies level with the lawn, it is possible to allow
Automower to run a little over the path. The boundary
wire should then be laid 10 cm from the edge of the
path.
10 cm
3012-383
When the working area is divided by a flat slab path
that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow
Automower to run over the path. It can be an
advantage to lay the boundary wire under the slabs.
The boundary wire can also be laid in the joint
between the slabs.
Note! Automower must never run over a gravel path
or similar material, which can damage the blades.
If the working area borders against, for example,
pools of water the boundary wire should be
supplemented with a fence or the like. The height must
then be at least 15 cm. This will prevent Automower,
under any circumstances, coming outside of the
working area.
3012-534
When Automower searches for the charging station or
follows the loop according to the function Follow loop
(3-2) (see page 51), it runs along the side of the
boundary wire at a specific distance. The Corridor
width (3-2-3) function determines the distance from the
boundary wire that the mower shall run. It is
recommended to state as high a Corridor width value
as possible. A high Corridor width value reduces the
risk of tracks forming. For more information about
Corridor width (3-2-3), see page 54.
In exceptional cases Automower can be set to
straddle the boundary wire, that is to say, half the
mower inside the loop and the other half outside. The
boundary wire must then be kept at a distance of
about 40 cm from all the boundaries of the working
area and from the edges of a passage.

3. INSTALLATION
Boundaries within the working area
Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the
working area by creating islands around obstacles
that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower
beds and fountains. Run the cable out to the area,
route it around the area to be demarcated and then
back along the same route. If staples are used, the
wire should be laid under the same staple on the
return route. When the boundary wire to and from the
island are close together, the mower can drive over
the wire.
3012-647
Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example,
trees or bushes higher than 15 cm, do not need to be
demarcated by the boundary wire. Automower will turn
when it collides with this type of obstacle.
However, for the most gentle and silent operation, it is
preferable to demarcate all fixed objects in and around
the working area.
Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or
large trees with raised roots, should be demarcated
or removed. Automower can otherwise slide up onto
this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be
damaged.
3012-697
Secondary areas
It is recommended to create a secondary area when
the working area is made up of two areas that are
joined by a passage where the distance between the
boundary wires is less than 60 cm. Run the boundary
wire then around the secondary area so that it forms
an island outside of the main area.
Secondary
area
Automower must be moved manually between the
main and secondary areas. Use the MAN operating
mode when Automower shall mow a secondary area.
Instead of creating an island with the existing
boundary wire, a secondary area generator can
ideally be used. A secondary area generator can be
purchased as an accessory. Contact your dealer for
further information.

3. INSTALLATION
Passages when mowing
Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than
1.5 - 2 metres, should be avoided. When Automower
mows there is a risk that it runs around in the passage
or area for a too long a period. The lawn will then look
flattened.
Passages when searching for the charging station
The distance between the boundary wires in a
passage must be at least 3 metres in order for
Automower to follow the boundary wire through the
passage without the need of changing the mower's
default settings. When the distance is less than
3 metres, there are two options available that permit
Automower to run through the passage.
Secondary
area
Main area
At least 3 m
1. Install a guide wire.
When the distance between the boundary wires
is less than 3 metres, it is recommended to install
a guide wire through the passage. For more
information about the guide wire, see 3.8
Installation of the guide wire on page 33.
3012-684
Usually the installation of the guide wire is the best
solution with narrow passages.
The narrowest passage that Automower can run
through with the help of a guide wire is 60 cm
between the boundary wires.
2. Change the Corridor width setting (3-2-3).
When the distance between the boundary wires in
a narrow passage is more than 2 metres it is
possible for Automower to run through the
passage if a low value is set for the Corridor width
(3-2-3) function (see page 54). However, a low
value involves a large risk of tracks forming along
the entire boundary wire.
The transition between a large area and a passage
should be, if possible, designed like a funnel, with
rounded corners, to make it easier for Automower to
enter the passage.
Slopes
The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that
slants less than 10 %.
3012-668
26 - English
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
3. INSTALLATION
The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope
that is steeper than 10 %. There is a risk of
Automower finding it difficult to turn there. The mower
will then stop and show the fault message Outside
working area. The risk is at its greatest in damp
weather conditions, as the wheels can slip on the wet
grass.
However, the boundary wire can be laid across a
slope steeper than 10 % when there is an obstacle
that Automower can be permitted to collide with, for
example, a fence or a dense hedge.
3012-673
Automower can mow areas inside
the working area that slope up to
35 cm per distance metre (35 %).
Areas that slope more must be
demarcated by the boundary wire.
When any part of the working area's
boundary slopes more than 10 cm
per distance metre (10 %), the
boundary wire must be routed about
35 cm in on flat ground before the
slope starts.
3012-674
Laying out the boundary wire
Run the boundary wire around the working area, but
wait before connecting the wire to the charging
station.

3. INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Extra wire must not be placed in coils outside
the boundary wire. This can disrupt
Automower™.
Tip! Use the supplied measurement gauge as a
guide when you lay out the boundary wire. This helps
you to easily set the correct distance between the
boundary wire and the boundary/obstacle.
3012-281
If you intend to staple down the boundary wire:
•
Tip! Mow the lawn where the wire is to be laid
using a normal lawn mower or a trimmer. It will
then be easier to lay the wire close to the ground
and the risk of the mower cutting the wire off is
reduced.
•
Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the
ground and secure the staples close together with
approximately 75 cm between each staple. The
wire must generally lie close to the ground so, as
not to be cut off before the grass roots have grown
over it.
•
Use a hammer to knock down the staples in the
ground. Exercise care when knocking in the
staples and make sure the wire is not under
strain. Avoid forming the wire in sharp bends.
If you intend to bury the boundary wire:
•
Make sure to place the boundary wire at least
1 cm and a maximum of 20 cm into the ground.
3012-745
The boundary wire must be crossed on the path to

Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging
station
The boundary wire can be routed in several different
ways in towards the charging station. The best
alternative is to route the wire completely outside the
charging station, see alternative 1. The wire can also
be placed under the charging station plate as shown
in alternative 2 in the illustration. However, the wire
should not be placed outside alternative 2 because it
can then be difficult for Automower to find the
charging station.
1.
2.
3012-671
When connecting to the charging station, the right
end of the boundary wire should be guided into the
right-hand hole and the cable's left end in the
left-hand hole.
3012-462
Joining the boundary wire
If the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to
be spliced: Use original solderless coupler. It is
waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection.
To splice: Insert both cable ends in the coupler. Now
press down the button on top of the connector fully.
Use a pair of pliers or the like, as the button on the
connector is difficult to press down by hand.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Twisted cables, or a screw terminal
(chock-block), insulated with insulation tape
is not a satisfactory splice. Soil moisture will
cause the conductors to oxidise and after a
while result in a broken circuit.

• Grip under the edge of the cover with both
hands and pull straight out towards the sides.
• Now lift the cover straight up.
3012-268
3012-269
2. Slide in the ends of the boundary wire in the
lowermost holes on the charging station and
catch them in the uppermost holes.
The right hand wire end should be inserted in the
right hand hole, and the left hand wire end in the
left hand hole.
3012-508
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The boundary wire must not be crossed when
connecting to the charging station. Therefore
the right hand wire end must be connected to
the right hand connector on the charging
station and vice versa.

3.6 Checking the installation
Check the loop signal by looking to see what
indication the green LED on the charging station is
giving.
•
•
Steady light = the signal is okay.
Flashing once every other second = break in the
loop and no signal found.
•
Flashing twice every other second = weak signal.
This may be due to the boundary wire exceeding
500 metres or that the cable is damaged. If the
mower works, it is not a problem.

3.7 Linking Automower™ to the
charging station
1. Open the control panel cover by pressing the
STOP button.
2. Place Automower in the charging station.
3. Set the main switch to the ON position.
A start-up sequence begins when Automower is
started for the first time. The following is
requested: Language, time format, correct time,
date format, date, and four-digit PIN code. All
combinations except 0000 are permitted.

3. INSTALLATION
3.8 Installation of the guide wire
The guide wire is an extra wire that is laid from the
charging station, out towards a remote part of the
working area or through a narrow passage and is then
connected to the boundary wire. The same wire used
for the boundary wire is also used for the guide wire.
Up to two guide wires can be installed for 230 ACX. In
similarity to the boundary wire, the guide wire can
either be stapled down or buried.
When a guide wire is installed, Automower can also be
set to follow the guide wire out from the charging
station using the function Follow loop out (3-2-1), see
page 51.
Need of a guide wire
The guide wire may be necessary in installations
where the search methods Irregular and Follow
boundary wire are not adequate for the mower to
quickly and easily find the charging station.
A few examples of installations where a guide wire is
recommended follow below:
•
Narrow passages.
In passages where the distance between the
boundary wires is less than 3 metres, it is
recommended to install a guide wire through the
passage. This is a better solution than allowing
Automower to follow close to the boundary wire by
setting a low Corridor width value.
•
•
The boundary wire runs along a steep slope
(steeper than 25 %).
When Automower follows the boundary wire that
runs along a steep slope, the mower will change
direction and run away from the boundary wire.
Numerous or large islands.
If Automower is permitted to follow the boundary
wire it may circle an island roughly twice before it
leaves the island and once again searches for
the boundary wire.
3012-736
English - 33

3. INSTALLATION
•
The route to a remote area is long or
complicated.
When Automower shall follow the boundary wire
to or from a remote area and the route along the
boundary wire to the area is long or complicated.
3012-737
•
The boundary wire runs across a long slope
(steeper than 10 %).
When Automower follows the boundary wire
across a slope (steeper than 10 %) the mower
must compensate for the slope. The mower then
follows the boundary wire at a slower speed. The
risk of the mower running outside of the working
area due to skidding increases.
•
The charging station is positioned on an island.
When there is more than 4 metres between the
charging station and the outer edge of the
boundary wire, it can take a long time for
Automower to find the charging station when it
follows the boundary wire. There is a risk of the
mower following the outer edge of the working
area 2 - 3 turns before it changes direction and
starts to follow the loop at another spot.
3012-738
Placement and connection of the guide
wire
In the text below the guide wires are called guide 1 and
guide 2, as is the case on the rear of the charging
station (220 AC only has guide 1).
1. Check that the charging station has the best
placement.
The guide wire together with the part of the
boundary wire that makes up the return to the
charging station is known as the guide loop. The
current in the guide loop always goes to the left
in the connection between the guide wire and the
boundary wire.
The adjoining picture shows what is considered
a guide loop.
The picture is also a good example of an ideal
position for the charging station to give the
shortest possible guide loop.

3. INSTALLATION
The longer the guide wire, the closer the mower
follows the guide wire. If the guide wire is longer
then 300 metres, the mower may find it difficult to
follow the wire. This varies depending on the
design of the garden and installation.
3012-650
2. Lift up the cover on the charging station.
3. If you intend to install guide 1:
• Insert the end of guide 1 into the lower
right-hand hole on the charging station and
catch it in the upper hole.
• Secure a connector on the guide wire.
• Connect guide 1 to the contact pin on the
charging station marked guide 1.
If you intend to install guide 2:
• Insert the end of guide 2 into the lower
left-hand hole on the charging station and
catch it in the upper hole.
3012-538
• Secure a connector on the guide wire.
• Connect guide 2 to the contact pin on the
charging station marked guide 2.
4. Route the cable straight under the charging
station plate.
5. Route the guide wire at least 2 metres straight
out from the front edge of the charging plate.

If you shall install the guide wire through a passage:
Automower follows the guide wire on the same
•
side of the wire both to and from the charging
station. This means that in towards the charging
station the guide wire is on the right side of the
mower and away from the charging station the
guide wire is on the left side of the mower.
In the passage, the guide wire must be placed so
that the mower has as much space to run as
possible. The distance between the boundary
wire and the guide wire must however be at least
30 cm (see the picture above).
The same minimum distance (30 cm) also
applies between the guide wire and the guide
wire in the passage,
3012-649
Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can make
it difficult for the mower to follow the guide wire.

9. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire with
the help of a solderless coupler:
• Insert the ends of the boundary wire in the right
respective left-hand holes on the connector.
• Insert the end of the guide wire in the centre
hole.
• Press down the button on the connector fully.
10. Staple down/bury the connector in the lawn.

The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. Consequently, it is important to limit the
operating time using the timer function if the working
area is less than the mower's working capacity. When
Automower is allowed to mow too much, the lawn may
appear flattened. Besides, the mower is subjected to
unnecessary wear.
The timer function is also an ideal means to control
during which periods Automower should not mow, for
example, when the children are playing in the garden.
When you set the timer, assume that Automower
mows about 125 m2 per hour (75 m2 for 220 AC).

Exit angles (3-1)
Normally Automower leaves the charging station in a
direction within the exit sector 90°-270°, where 90° is
called the Start angle and 270° is called the End
angle. By setting the start and end angles, you can
set the direction in which Automower is to leave the
charging station.
3012-511
The mower can be set for up to two exit sectors. If the
charging station is placed in a passage it may be
necessary to have two exit sectors, e.g. 70° - 110°
and 250° - 290°.
Sector 1
Sector 2
When you use two exit sectors, you also need to state
how often the mower should leave the charging
station in sector 1. This is done using the Proportion
first function by stating a percentage. For example,
the percentage 75 % means the mower will leave the
charging station in sector 1, 75 % of the time and in
sector 2, 25 % of the time.

from the charging station to reach a more remote
area of the garden. This function is very useful in
gardens where the front and back are joined by a
passage where the charging station cannot be
placed.
When this function is activated Automower will
follow the boundary wire or guide wire away from
the charging station in the set direction. It will
start mowing when it reaches the area.

Automower always starts the search for the
charging station in an irregular search method. In
some gardens this is not sufficient for the mower
to quickly find the charging station. The search
can then be optimised using the Follow loop in
function.
When the mower still can not find the charging
station after a specific period of irregular
searching, it also starts to search for the guide
wires and after a further period also the
boundary wire to follow one of them into the
charging station instead. This time is stated in
minutes, and delays searching for guide 1, guide 2
and the boundary wire.

The delay time can be adapted to the shape of the
garden in the Follow loop in function.
Automower has a default delay setting of 7
minutes for guide 1 and guide 2 and 11 minutes
for the boundary wire. A delay of 99 minutes
means that the function is deactivated.

If both search methods are to be activated, it is

Boundary delay. Automower then searches
irregularly for 5 minutes and then searches for
the guide wires for 4 minutes. If by this time it
has not found one of the guide wires, the mower
will now search for both the boundary wire and
guide wires.
Test OUT
3-2-2
If it is not suitable in the installation to follow the
boundary wire, 99 minutes should be specified as
the delay for the boundary wire.
It is of course possible to specify the same delay
time for both the guide wires and the boundary
wire, e.g. 5 minutes. Automower then searches
irregularly for 5 minutes and when it does not find
the charging station, it continues to search either
by following the guide wires or the boundary wire,
depending on which one it reaches first. Different
delay times can also be chosen for guide 1 and
guide 2.
The mower does not change the search method: If
the mower starts to follow the boundary wire it will
not switch to follow a guide wire.

Corridor width (3-2-3)
The Corridor width setting defines the distances
from the mower's path to the boundary wire or
the guide wire when following these to/from the
charging station. The area beside the wires used
by the mower is called the Corridor.
Corridor
A low corridor width value represents a narrow
corridor while a high value represents a wide
corridor. With a narrow corridor Automower
always runs close to the boundary wire
respective guide wire. With a wide corridor
Automower varies how it runs, i.e. close to and
further from the boundary wire respective guide wire.
3012-496
Corridor width is a relative distance and is stated
on a scale from 0 to 30. The lower the Corridor
width value the closer Automower follows the
boundary wire and/or guide wire.
Different corridor widths can be set for the
boundary wire, guide 1 and on guide 2. The
default setting on Automower is set to a value of
6 for both the boundary wire and guide wires.
Follow loop out

Test IN
Boundary corridor
The higher the stated Corridor width value, the
less risk there is of tracks forming. However, a
high corridor value means that Automower may
find it difficult to enter passages.
Guide 1 corridor
Guide 2 corridor
A garden with large open areas should have a
wide Corridor, i.e. a high Corridor width value.
A garden with passages should have a narrow
Corridor, i.e. a low value for the Corridor width.
Test OUT
3-2-3
When the value is set to 0 for the Corridor width,
Automower will run along the boundary wire,
which means it will run with half the mower inside
the loop and half the mower outside. As there are
often flower beds, hedges and walls along with
the boundary wire Corridor width 0 is not
normally recommended. Should you still like to
state this value, the boundary wire must lay
40 cm from solid objects instead of the normal
35 cm.
3012-459
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The distance at which the mower follows the
boundary wire varies depending on how the
working area appears. You should perform
some tests to find the highest possible
Corridor width. Use the Test IN (3-2-4)
function to try different values.

7. GARDEN EXAMPLE
7. Garden example
- Proposed installation and
settings
The behaviour of the mower is controlled by the
settings that are made. Adapting the mower's garden
settings according to the shape of the garden makes it
easier for the Husqvarna Automower™ to frequently
reach all parts of the garden and in doing so achieve a
perfect mowing result.
Different gardens require different settings. A number
of garden examples and proposed installations and
settings are presented on the following pages.
Functions where the settings deviate from the mower’s
default settings are shown in bold.
For further and more detailed information about the
different settings, see chapter 6. Menu functions on
page 45.

8. MAINTENANCE
8. Maintenance
Check and clean the Husqvarna Automower™
regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to
improve operating reliability and to ensure a longer
service life. For further information on cleaning, see 8.5
Cleaning on page 70.
During the initial period Automower is used the blade
disc, skid plate and blades should be checked once a
week. If the amount of wear during this period has
been low, the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. In
addition the skid plate should rotate easily in relation to
the blade disc. The edges of the blades should not be
damaged. The service life of the blades depends on:
•
•
•
•
Operating time and size of the working area.
Type of grass.
Type of soil.
The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The service life can vary greatly, but is normally
2-4 weeks of operation over areas larger than
1,000 m2 and longer in smaller areas. To replace the
blades, see 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 71.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The edges of the grass are
not cut clean and more energy is needed
resulting in Automower not mowing such a
large area.
8.1 Battery
The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited life
span of 1 - 4 years.
Battery life is dependent on the length of the season
and how many hours per day Automower is used.
A long season or many hours of use per day, means
that the battery must be replaced more regularly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Charge the battery fully at the end of the
season before winter storage.

8. MAINTENANCE
8.2 Winter storage
Automower™
Automower must be carefully cleaned before winter
storage, see 8.5 Cleaning on page 70.
Charge the battery fully before winter storage. Turn
the main switch to the OFF position. Store the mower
horizontally on all four wheels in an area that is dry
and free from frost, preferably in the original
packaging.
3012-691
Charging station
If possible store the charging station, transformer and
low voltage cable indoors. The boundary wire can be
left in the ground. If the charging station is taken in
you should protect the ends of the boundary wire
from moisture by placing them, for example, in a tin
with grease. If indoor storage is not possible the
boundary wire should remain connected. The
charging station should remain connected to the
mains supply.
3012-509
8.3 Service
Take your Automower to a dealer for a service before
winter storage.
During a service the dealer can perform careful
cleaning and at the same time test the mower’s
functions and components. If new functions have been
added during the year your dealer can also load
Automower with new software.
8.4 After winter storage
During a service the dealer can clean the mower
thoroughly, test its function and components as well as
replace wear parts if necessary. If the charging or
contact strips appear to be burnt, clean them using fine
grade emery cloth. Check that the mower’s time and
date are correct.

8. MAINTENANCE
8.5 Cleaning
It is important to keep Automower clean. A mower with
a large amount of clippings negotiates slopes very
poorly.
Never use a high-pressure washer or even running
water to clean Automower.
We recommend a brush and spray with water.
3012-271
Underframe and blade disc
1. Set the main switch to the OFF position.
2. Wear protective gloves.
OFF
3012-288
3012-272
3. Lift Automower onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and underframe using,
e.g. a dish-brush.
At the same time, check that the blade disc
rotates freely in relation to the motor support,
directly above. Check also that the skid plate
rotates freely in relation to the blade disc.
If long blades of grass or other objects work their
way in this can brake the blade disc and/or skid
plate. Even a slight braking effect leads to a
higher consumption of energy and longer
mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the
mower from being able to mow a large lawn. If
more thorough cleaning is necessary the skid
plate, and possibly the blade disc, must be
dismantled. If necessary, contact your dealer.
3012-393
3012-394
Chassis
Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with
a damp cloth.

Do not use running water when cleaning.

8. MAINTENANCE
Wheels
Clean around the front and rear wheels and around the
front wheel suspension.
Body
Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body.
If the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use
a soap solution or washing-up liquid.
3012-699
8.6 Replacing the blades
WARNING
Always use originalblades and
screws when replacing.
Only replacing the blades and
reusing the screw can result in the
screw wearing during mowing and
shearing off. The blades can then be
thrown out and cause serious injury.
There are three blades on Automower, which are
screwed into the blade disc. The blades have two
edges to ensure a longer service life. The blade disc
rotates alternately to the left and alternately to the
right.
All three blades and screws must be replaced at the
same time to obtain a balanced mowing system.
There are two blade variants with different
characteristics to choose from as accessories.
Contact your dealer for further information.
