Square Mode Cutting - Husqvarna Automower 210 C Technical Manual

1.6 Square mode cutting

This section does not apply to 210 C.
Sometimes the Automower
pattern and start to mow in a square pattern instead.
This is called square mode cutting. The purpose of
square mode cutting is to quickly get the same length
of grass over the entire working area.
When an Automower ® starts square mode cutting this
means it has perceived the lawn in one area to be
longer and/or thicker than before. The length/
thickness of the lawn in the area does not need to
differ that much from the other areas for the
Automower to start square mode cutting. Sometimes
®
the difference is hardly visible.
The Automower always attempts to keep the blade
®
disc at an even speed. Different degrees of power are
used for this depending on the length/thickness of the
grass. Automower ® compares the instantaneous
power with an average power value from the last
8 hours of mowing. This means that, when
Automower enters an area where the lawn is
®
longer/thicker than before, the instantaneous power
will differ from the average power and the Automower
will then start square mode cutting.
The limit values for when the Automower
square mode cutting is set at the factory at 70% for
230 ACX and 50% for 220 AC and Solar Hybrid. For
the 260 ACX, square mode cutting is not activated at
the factory. The limit value can be set for all mowers in
Autocheck. The value can also be set under Tools-
Special settings- Square mode cutt. (shortcut 5-6-1) on
the mower, except for the mower with GSM software.
A higher value results in less square mode cutting. It is
also possible to switch the function off completely.
The following conditions apply in order for Automower
to start square mode cutting:
1. Automower must be in AUTO -mode.
®
Square mode cutting is deactivated in MAN -mode.
2. Automower must have been in uninterrupted
®
operation (= the main switch set to ON ) for at least
8 mowing hours, which represents an overall
running time (mowing+charge) of approximately
13-14 hours.
When the mower is switched off using the main
switch, and is left switched off for at least 4 hours,
this time counter is reset. When for example, the
Automower is switched off using the main switch
®
each night it will never, in principle, perform
square mode cutting.
3. The instantaneous power consumption to
maintain the speed of the blade disc must deviate
from the average power by the set factor (e.g.
50 %). Consequently, the lawn in one area must
always be longer/thicker than before.
