Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 420 / 430x / 440 / 450X Manual

PLACEMENT OF AND CONNECTING THE CHARGING STATION

1. Place the charging station at a central position in the working area, with a lot of open space in front of the charging station and on a relatively horizontal surface.
2. Connect the power supply's low voltage cable to the charging station and the power supply.
3. Connect the power supply to a 100-240 V wall socket.
4. Place the robotic lawn mower in the charging station to charge the battery while the boundary wire is laid. Set the main switch to position 1.

PLACEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY WIRE AND THE GUIDE WIRE

1. Lay the boundary wire so that it forms a loop around the working area.
2. Make an eyelet at the point where the guide wire will later be connected.
3. Run the guide wire to the point on the boundary loop where the connection will be made. Avoid laying the wire at tight angles.

CONNECTING THE BOUNDARY WIRE AND THE GUIDE WIRE

1. Narrow passages in the yard make it difficult for the robotic lawn mower to find the charging station. The robotic lawn mower can be lead to remote areas using the guide wire. The guide wire also helps the robotic lawn mower to quickly find the charging station.
2. Lay the guide wire under the charging station and at least 2 m / 7 ft straight out from the front edge of the charging station.
3. Open the connectors and lay the wire ends in the recesses on each connector.
4. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
5. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm / 0.4-0.8" above the connectors.
6. Press the connectors onto the contact pins, marked AL (left) and AR (right), on the charging station. It is important that the right-hand wire is connected to the right-hand contact pin, and the left-hand wire to the left-hand pin.
7. Fasten the connector to the contact pin marked G1 on the charging station.

CONNECTING THE GUIDE WIRE TO THE BOUNDARY WIRE

1. Cut the boundary wire with a wire cutters at the centre of the eyelet that was made in step 2.2.
2. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using the accompanying couplers. Press the couplers completely together with a polygrip.

ADJUSTING THE ROBOTIC LAWN MOWER TO SUIT THE SIZE OF YOUR LAWN

The mowing results depend on mowing time. Adjust the mowing time to suit your yard using the Schedule function. You decide what times during the day the robotic lawn mower is to work. The robotic lawn mower cuts approximately 92 m² / 990 ft² per hour and day for Automower® 420, 133 m² / 1430 ft² for Automower® 430X, 167 m² / 1800 ft² for Automower® 440 and 208 m² / 2240 ft² for Automower® 450X. For example, if your yard comprises 1200 m² / 13000 ft² of grass, the mower should work 13 hours a day for Automower® 420, 9 hours a day for Automower® 430X, 7 hours a day for Automower® 440 and 6 hours a day for Automower® 450X.

MAINTENANCE

1. The main switch should be in the0 position during all work on the robotic lawn mower's chassis, such as cleaning or replacing the blades.
2. Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean the robotic lawn mower. Never use solvents for cleaning. Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing result.
3. All connections to the charging station (power supply, boundary and guide wire) must be disconnected if there is a risk of a thunderstorm.
4. Fully charge the battery at the end of the season before winter storage.
