    3.5 Connecting the boundary wire. 3.6 Installation of the guide wire. 3.7 Checking the installation. 3.8 Linking Automower® 305 to the charging station. The charging station and boundary and guide wires must be connected to be able to carry out a complete start-up of Automower 305.

  • Page 16: Installation Of The Charging Station

    Automower ® 305 finds it easier to reach all areas in 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.
  • Page 17 3. INSTALLATION The charging station must not be positioned so that its plate bends. Consider the distance to a wall socket when selecting a location for the charging station. The charging station must be connected to a 230 V wall socket via the transformer.

  • Page 18: Charging The Battery

    Set the main switch to the 1 position. Place Automower ® 305 in the charging station to charge the battery while the boundary and guide wires are being laid. If the battery is empty, it takes around 3 hours to fully charge it.

  • Page 19: Installation Of The Boundary Wire

    The boundary wire should be laid so it: • Forms a loop around the working area for Automower 305. Only an original boundary wire must be ® used. This is tinned and has a high quality insulation to withstand the dampness in the ground.
  • Page 20 When the working area is divided by a flat slab path that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow Automower 305 to run over the path. It can be an ® advantage to lay the boundary wire under the slabs.
  • Page 21 Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than 1.5 - 2 metres, should be avoided. When Automower ® 305 mows there is a risk that it runs around in the passage or area for a too long. The lawn will then look flattened.
  • Page 22 The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope that is steeper than 10 %. There is a risk of Automower 305 finding it difficult to turn there. The ® mower will then stop and show the fault message Outside working area.
  • Page 23 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Extra wire must not be placed in coils outside the boundary wire. This can disrupt Automower 305. ® 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.
  • Page 24 (see figure below). If the boundary wire is laid in any other way, Automower ® 305 may find it hard to enter the charging station. When connecting to the charging station, make sure that the boundary wire's right end is connected to the right hand pin and the left wire end to the left hand pin.

  • Page 25: Connecting The Boundary Wire

    3. INSTALLATION 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: 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.

  • Page 26: Installation Of The Guide Wire

    The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled to or buried in the ground. The guide wire is used by Automower 305 to find its ® way back to the charging station but it also guides the mower to find its way from the charging station to remote areas of the working area.
  • Page 27 3. INSTALLATION Draw the wire through the slot in the bottom of the charger plate. Fix a connector to the guide wire. Connect it to the contact pin on the charging station that is labelled “guide”. Route the guide wire at least 2 metres straight out from the front edge of the charging plate.
