Mowing Technique - Husqvarna Automower 310 Technical Manual

1. FUNCTION

1.6 Mowing technique

The mowing system is based on an efficient and energy
saving principle. Unlike many conventional mowers, the
robotic lawnmower cuts the grass instead of knocking
it off.
1.6.1 Mowing in different weather
conditions
Rain
We recommend you allow the robotic lawnmower to
mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible
result. The robotic lawnmower can also mow in the
rain, however, wet grass easily sticks on the robotic
lawnmower and there is a greater risk of slipping
on steep slopes.
Thunder
If there is a risk of thunder, all connections to the
charging station must be disconnected. This is done to
avoid damage to the circuit board in the charging station.
1.6.2 Blades
It is more important to have good condition and sharp
blades on a robotic lawnmower than on a conventional
mower. It is the principle of the cutting the grass instead
of knocking it off that makes this difference. The double
edged blades together with the technology that rotates
the blade disc in both directions increase the life of the
blades.
In order to keep the blades sharp for as long as possible
it is important to keep the lawn free from branches, small
stones and other objects.
Worn blades should not be ground. This is to prevent the
mowing system from becoming imbalanced.
Poor or dull blades can result in the grass bending
instead of being mown, the tops become frayed and the
mower may find it difficult to mow a large working area.
All blades and screws must be replaced at the same
time to ensure the cutting system is balanced.
There are many different types of blades and they
are sold in various package sizes. Use only approved
original blades from Husqvarna. From the start of 2011
these are marked with a Husqvarna symbol.
