English - 5 1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1. Introduction and safety 1.1 Introduction Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally high quality product.
6 - English 1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.2 Symbols on Automower ™ These symbols can be found on the lawn mover. Study them carefully so you understand their significance. • Read through the Operator’s Manual carefully and understand the content before using your Automower.
English - 7 1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.3 Symbols in the Operator’s Manual These symbols can be found in the Operator’s Manual. Study them carefully so you understand their significance. • Inspection and/or maintenance must be carried out with the main switch set to OFF .
8 - English 1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.4 Safety instructions Use • Please read the Operator's Manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using Automower. • It is not permitted to modify the original design of Automower.
English - 9 1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY Transport The original packaging should be used when transporting Automower over long distances. To safely move from or within the working area: 1. Press the STOP button to stop the mower. If the stop protection, (see page 60) used to prevent theft, has been activated enter the first number of the PIN code.
10 - English 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.
English - 11 2. PRESENTATION 2.1 Automower ™ , what’s what? The numbers in the picture correspond to: 1. Charging strip 2. Cutting height adjustment cover 3. Catch button to open the cutting height adjustment cover 4. Front wheel 5. Drive wheel 6.
12 - English 2. PRESENTATION 2.2 Function of Automower ™ Capacity Automower is recommended for lawns up to 0.5 acre (0,4 acre 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.
English - 13 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 20 - 23 ft. The mower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low.
14 - English 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.
English - 15 2. PRESENTATION Movement pattern The mower’s movement pattern is irregular and is determined by Automower itself. A movement pattern is never repeated.
16 - English 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 10 ft) and no, or only a small, island.
English - 17 2. PRESENTATION 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.
18 - English 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.
English - 19 3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Preparations 1. If the lawn in the proposed working area is taller than 4", mow it using a normal lawn mower. Then collect the clippings.
20 - English 3. INSTALLATION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free area in front of it (at least 10 ft). 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.
English - 21 3. INSTALLATION Do not put the charging station in a corner or pocket in the working area. Avoid placing the charging station in a narrow passage (narrower than about 10 ft). 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).
22 - English 3. INSTALLATION 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. 3. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station.
English - 23 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.
24 - English 3. INSTALLATION 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 14" from the obstacle. This will prevent Automower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear.
English - 25 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 4" from the edge of the path.
26 - English 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.
English - 27 3. INSTALLATION Passages when mowing Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than 5 - 7 ft, 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.
28 - English 3. INSTALLATION Slopes The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10 %. 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.
English - 29 3. INSTALLATION Laying out the boundary wire Run the boundary wire around the working area, but wait before connecting the wire to the charging station. Tip! Use the supplied measurement gauge as a guide when you lay out the boundary wire.
30 - English 3. INSTALLATION The boundary wire must not be crossed on the path to and from an island. Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station The boundary wire can be routed in several different ways in towards the charging station.
English - 31 3. INSTALLATION 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: 1. Lift up the cover on the charging station: • Grip under the edge of the cover with both hands and pull straight out towards the sides.
32 - English 3. INSTALLATION 3. Place the cable ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. 4. Press the connector together using a pair of pliers. Press until you hear a click. 5. Cut off any surplus boundary wire.
English - 33 3. INSTALLATION 7. Refit the cover on the charging station. Ensure the three guides on the charging station enter the right holes in the cover. 3.6 Checking the installation Check the loop signal by looking to see what indication the green LED on the charging station is giving.
34 - English 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.
English - 35 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. • The boundary wire runs across a long slope (steeper than 10 %).
36 - English 3. INSTALLATION The longer the guide wire, the closer the mower follows the guide wire. If the guide wire is longer then 984 ft, the mower may find it difficult to follow the wire. This varies depending on the design of the garden and installation.
English - 37 3. INSTALLATION 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.
38 - English 4. USE 4. Use 4.1 Charging a discharged battery When Husqvarna Automower™ is new or has been stored for a long period the battery will not be charged and needs to be charged before starting. Charging takes between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 hours.
English - 39 4. USE 4.2 Using the timer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.4 Timer (2) on page 48) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the maximum life from your Automower.
40 - English 4. USE 4.5 Restart Restart within 20 seconds 1. Close the control panel cover. Automower starts automatically. Restart after more than 20 seconds If more than 20 seconds has elapsed since the last time the STOP button or the keypad was pressed it is not possible to start Automower by just closing the cover.
English - 41 4. USE 4.7 Adjusting the cutting height The cutting height can be varied from MIN (0.8") to MAX (2.5"). If the grass is long it is appropriate to let Automower start mowing at the MAX cutting height. Once the grass is shorter, you can gradually lower the cutting height.
42 - English 5. CONTROL PANEL 5. Control panel All forms of commands and settings for Husqvarna Automower™ are made via the control panel. All functions are accessed via a number of menus. The control panel consists of a display and a keypad. All information is shown on the display and all input is done using the buttons.
