Installation Of Guide Wire - Husqvarna 420 Operator's Manual

3.6 Installation of 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 same wire is used
for both the boundary and guide wires.
The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to find
its way back to the charging station but also to guide the
robotic lawnmower to hard-to reach areas of the yard.
Automower ® 450X can have up to three guide wires and
Automower® 430X up to two guide wires. Automower®
420 has only one guide wire.
Run the robotic lawnmower at varying distances from the
guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming. The area
beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then uses
is called the Corridor. The wider the corridor allowed by
the installation, the less the risk of tracks forming. When
installing, it is therefore important to create as much free
space as possible along the guide wire.
The robotic lawnmower always runs to the left of the
guide wire as seen facing the charging station. The
grass corridor is then to the left of the guide wire. When
installing, it is therefore important to create as much free
space as possible to the left of the guide wire, as seen
facing the charging station. It is not allowed to lay the
guide wire closer than 30 cm from the boundary wire.
The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be pegged to
or buried in the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure to have as much free space as
possible to the left of the guide wire, as
seen facing the charging station.
