    Manual carefully before you start to install and use your Auto Mower. Save the Operator’s Manual and, if you sell your Auto Mower, make sure you hand it over to the new owner. Husqvarna Auto Mower is designed to mow the grass on ordinary lawns free from stones, large branches and the like.

    Always wear protective gloves when working with the mower’s underframe. • Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean the Auto Mower. • The warning box warns of the risk of personal injury , especially if the instructions are not followed.

  • Page 6: Safety Instructions

    Do not let persons who do not know how the Auto Mower works and behaves use the mower. • Do not put anything on top of the Auto Mower or its charging station. • Do not allow the Auto Mower to be used with a defective blade disc or body.

  • Page 7: Transport

    Auto Mower is set to sound off. • Inspect the Auto Mower each week and replace any damaged or worn parts. Check especially that the blades and blade disc are not damaged. Replace all blade units at the same time if necessary so that the rotating parts are bal- anced, see ”Maintenance”...

    The length of the low voltage cable must not be changed. Boundary wire , laid in a loop around the Auto Mower’s working area. The wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and around objects and plants that the mower must not run into.

  • Page 9: Function Auto Mower

    Working method The Auto Mower automatically mows the lawn. It con- tinuously combines mowing and charging. When the Auto Mower works on a lawn, it simulta- neously stores information about how the garden is shaped. The charging station sends out a signal that the Auto Mower can sense at a distance of 6 - 8 metres.
  • Page 10 The STOP button on the top of Auto Mower is mainly used to stop the mower when it’s running. When the STOP button is pressed a cover opens, behind which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains depressed until the cover is closed again. This acts as start inhibitor.

  • Page 11: Capacity

    3012-276 If the Auto Mower enters an area where it senses the grass is longer than earlier, it can change the move- ment pattern. It can then mow in a square pattern to cover the area of longer grass more systematically.

  • Page 12: Installation

    Installation This chapter describes how you install the Auto Mower. Before starting the installation read the previous chap- ter ”Presentation” on page 9 to page 12. The installation should be carried out according to the following steps: A. Preparations. Planning the installation C.

  • Page 14: Planning The Installation

    B. Planning the installation Charging station First and foremost the charging station should be posi- tioned: • Centrally in the main area, along the outer edge and with a large free area in front of the station. • In the shadow. The battery is spared if it charged in the low possible ambient temperature.
  • Page 15 Plan the position of the charging station according to the shape of your garden. The Auto Mower can be set for one of three basic gar- den shapes (see page 34). The Auto Mower works differently depending on the garden shape the mower has been set to.
  • Page 16 If the garden consists of two large lawns joined by a passage, it may be difficult for the Auto Mower to find the entrance to the passage. Making it difficult to work efficiently in both areas. One way to make the mower effectively reach both areas is to position the charging station in the middle of the passage.
  • Page 17 Maintains a maximum distance of 35 metres from Auto Mower in the entire working area. • Does not lie on a sharp incline. The Auto Mower may find it difficult to reverse back, especially in damp weather conditions, when there is a large risk of skidding.
  • Page 18 If the working area borders against a flat path or the like that lies level with the lawn, is it possible to allow the Auto Mower to run a little over the path. The boundary wire should then be laid 10 cm from the edge of the path.

  • Page 19: Placement Of The Charging Station

    If any part of the working area’s outer edge has a gradient of 1: 5 (20 cm/m) or more, the wire should be laid inside where the slope starts. The Auto Mower may find it difficult to turn at the loop where the ground slopes heavily. •...
  • Page 20 A passage should be at least 2 metres wide so the Auto Mower can find it and make its way through it. The minimum spacing between the wires in a pas- sage is 130 cm.

  • Page 21: Charging The Battery

    If you intend to install more than one Auto Mower in the same garden the different installations’ boundary wires can be laid edge to edge with each other.

  • Page 22: Connecting The Boundary Wire

    F. Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: Lift up the cover on the charging station: • Grip under the edge of the cover with both hands and pull straight out towards the sides. • Now lift the cover straight up. Slide in the ends of the boundary wire in the low- ermost holes on the charging station and catch them in the uppermost holes.
  • Page 23 Place the cable ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. Press the connector together using a pair of pliers. Press until you hear a click. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm above respective connectors.

  • Page 24: Checking The Installation

    Place the Auto Mower in the charging station. State the four digit PIN code. All combinations except 0000 are permitted. If you own more than one Auto Mower and charg- ing station in the same garden, each mower must have its own PIN code.

  • Page 25: Control Panel

    Control panel On the top of the Auto Mower there is a control panel under a cover. Open the cover by pressing the STOP button. Close the cover by sliding it forward until a click is heard. The click is heard when the STOP button returns to the operating mode.
