Installation Of The Guide Wire - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 305 Operator's Manual

3.6 Installation of the guide wire

The guide wire is a wire that is laid away from the
charging station, for instance out towards a remote part
of the working area or through a narrow passage and
then connected with the boundary wire.
The guide wire is used by the mower to find its way
back to the charging station but also to guide the
mower to remote areas of the garden.
To ensure an even cut over the entire lawn, the mower
can follow the guide wire from the charging station to
the guide wire connection in the boundary wire and
start mowing there. Depending on the garden layout,
one should adjust how often the mower is to follow the
guide wire from the charging station. See
6.4 Installation (2) on page 44.
The mower must be run at varying distances from the
guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming when the
mower follows the guide wire to/from the charging
station. The area beside the wire which the mower
then uses is called the Corridor.
The mower always runs to the left of the guide wire as
seen facing the charging station. Thus the corridor is to
the left of the guide wire. The corridor is 20" (50 cm)
wide. Therefore, when installing, it is important to have
at least 30" (75 cm) of free space to the left of the guide
wire and at least 10" (25 cm) free space to the right of
the guide wire, as seen facing the charging station.
It is not allowed to lay the guide wire closer than 12"
(30 cm) from the boundary wire.
Similar to the boundary wire, the guide wire can be
stapled to or buried in the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure that there is always at least 30" (75
cm) of free space to the left of the guide wire
as seen facing the charging station.
