It may be necessary to cut the grass using a traditional lawn mower before using the Auto Mower for the first time. The Auto Mower will then prevent the grass from growing long.
If the charging station has to be placed in a passage, the grass in the passage around the charging station could be mown too often. To avoid this the Auto Mower can be programmed to leave the charging station in any chosen direction within the range 45–315°.
There is a momentary switch on the charging station for testing. A continuous beep when the switch is switched on indicates that the charging station is receiving power and that the search and boundary wires are connected. A series of beeps indicates that the charging station is receiving power, but the search or boundary wires or both are disconnected or broken.
If the boundary wire needs to be joined this must be done so that the joint is waterproof. The best contact is obtained if the joint is made using Husqvarna’s solder-free connector, item number 535 04 43-01. The joint can also be soldered and then insulated using shrink tube.
INSTALLATION In exceptional cases and over short distances the wires can be laid closer together, i.e. in a narrow passageway or in the final metre approach to the charging station. If so, it is important that the wires are equally spaced. Search wire Boundary wire Fence...
Installation, step by step The wires must be connected to the charging station’s terminal block, as shown in this wiring diagram, when steps 3-11 in these installations instructions are carried out. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 15 V 535 09 65 - AX Use the tool supplied to connect the six wires to the terminal block.

If the Auto Mower has been used recently it does not need to be started in the charging station, see the chapter “Start and stop”.

The start and stop times can be zeroed by keying in * 35 #. This does not affect the setting of the clock. The number of hours it takes to mow an area depends on many factors, such as its size, the shape of the working area and the rate of grass growth.
Sound and lamp indications This table shows the Auto Mower’s sound and lamp signal indications. When the mower cover is opened and the alarm has been switched off, the LEDs on the keypad panel will light for 12 seconds. A green LED indicates an information message and a red LED an error message.
If the charging station is taken indoors the ends of the wires must be protected from dampness by inserting them in Husqvarna’s waterproof connectors. If this is not done the wires will become oxidised, which will lead to contact problems and operating problems with the mower.
Use the test switch on the charging station to check loop wires and power supply. Repair the break in the loop wire using Husqvarna’s waterproof connector, part no. 535 0443-01. Check by moving the position of the bound- ary wire.
