Page 8: Presentation
To get the best from your Auto Mower requires knowl- edge of its function. This chapter contains information you should be aware of when planning the installation. Installation of the Husqvarna Auto Mower includes four main components: Auto Mower , an automatic lawn mower that mows the lawn by moving in essentially an irregular pattern. -
Page 9: Function Auto Mower
Function Auto Mower Working method The Auto Mower automatically mows the lawn. It con- tinuously combines mowing and charging. When the Auto Mower works on a lawn, it simulta- neously stores information about how the garden is shaped. The charging station sends out a signal that the Auto Mower can sense at a distance of 6 - 8 metres. - Page 10 The STOP button on the top of Auto Mower 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.

Page 11: Capacity
PRESENTATION Movement pattern The mower’s movement pattern is irregular and is determined by the Auto Mower itself. A movement pat- tern is never repeated. This mowing system means the lawn is mown equally without any mowing lines. 3012-276 If the Auto Mower enters an area where it senses the grass is longer than earlier, it can change the move- ment pattern. -
Page 12: Installation
The letters refer to the following headings. A. Preparations If the lawn in the working area is longer than 15 cm mow it using a conventional lawn mower. Then collect the clippings. Read carefully through all steps before the instal- lation. -

Page 14: Planning The Installation
B. Planning the installation Charging station First and foremost the charging station should be posi- tioned: • Centrally in the main area, along the outer edge and with a large free area in front of the station. • In the shadow. The battery is spared if it charged in the low possible ambient temperature. - Page 15 Plan the position of the charging station according to the shape of your garden. The Auto Mower can be set for one of three basic gar- den shapes (see page 34). The Auto Mower works differently depending on the garden shape the mower has been set to. The available garden shapes are: open, complex 1 and complex 2.
- Page 16 • Complex 2 is a large lawn area with many obstacles and passages. Example of complex 2 garden shape. Lawn area 1500 m Do not put the charging station in a corner or pocket in the working area. If the garden consists of two large lawns joined by a passage, it may be difficult for the Auto Mower to find the entrance to the passage.
- Page 17 The boundary wire should be laid so it: • Forms a loop around the working area for the Auto Mower. Only Husqvarna boundary wire ought to be used. This is tinned and has a high quality insulation to withstand the dampness in the ground.
- Page 18 Remember the following with regard to the working area boundaries: • If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, bor- ders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the Auto Mower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear.
-
Page 19: Placement Of The Charging Station
Remeber the following with regard to the working area boundaries: • The Auto Mower can mow areas with a gradient of up to 1: 3 (33 cm/m) inside the working area. Areas that slope more must be demarcated by the bound- ary wire. - Page 20 Place the charging station according to your plan. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging sta- tion. Only Husqvarna original cable and transformer may be used. Connect the low voltage cable to the transformer. The connectors may be a slightly difficult to con- nect, as they are moisture-proof.
-
Page 21: Charging The Battery
• Bury the cable at a depth of 2-5 cm (maximum 20 cm). If the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced: Use Husqvarna’s solderless connector, part number 535 13 37-01. It is water- proof and gives a reliable electrical connection. -
Page 22: Connecting The Boundary Wire
F. Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: 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. • Now lift the cover straight up. Slide in the ends of the boundary wire in the low- ermost holes on the charging station and catch them in the uppermost holes. - Page 23 Place the cable ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. Press the connector together using a pair of pliers. Press until you hear a click. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm above respective connectors.

Page 39: Use
Charging a discharged battery When the Auto Mower 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. Place the Auto Mower in the charging station. -
Page 40: Using The Timer
Using the timer Mow the lawn as much as you like when you like. Use the timer function (see ”2. Timer” on page 30) to avoid a down trodden lawn and to get the maximum life from your Auto Mower. For example, the quality of your lawn will improve if it is mown every other day instead of 12 hours each day. -
Page 41: Adjusting The Cutting Height
Adjusting the cutting height The cutting height is calculated as the distance from the ground in centimetres. The cutting height can be varied using 10 different positions from MIN (2 cm) to MAX (6 cm). If the grass is long it is appropriate to let Auto Mower start mowing at the MAX cutting height. -
Page 42: Maintenance
Maintenance Check and clean the Auto Mower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improved operating reliabil- ity and to give a longer service life. During the initial period of Auto Mower use the blade disc, skid plate and blades should be checked once a week. -
Page 43: Cleaning
Cleaning Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean the Auto Mower. We recommended a spray bottle with water. Underframe and blade disc Set the main switch to the OFF position. Wear protective gloves. Lift the Auto Mower onto its side. Clean the blade disc and underframe using, e.g. -
Page 44: Replacing The Blade Units
Replacing the blade units WARNING Always use original blade units when replacing. Only replacing the blade and reusing the screw and washer, can result in the screw wearing during mowing and shearing off. The blade can then be thrown causing serious injury. There are three blade units on the blade disc. -
Page 45: Trouble Shooting
Check the signal given by the LED on the charging station. If it flashes the loop is damaged. Repair the broken cable using Husqvarna’s waterproof connector, part number 535 13 37-01. Try to move the boundary wire. Check that the boundary wire has been routed correctly. - Page 46 TROUBLE SHOOTING Fault message Cause Outside If this occurs in isolated areas it may be due to interference from metallic objects (perimeter fence, reinforce- ment bar) or buried cables in the vicinity. The working area slopes too much. The boundary wire has been routed the wrong way around an ”island”.
