  • Page 11: Function Of Automower

    2. PRESENTATION 2.2 Function of Automower™ Capacity Automower is recommended for lawns up to 0.15 acre. The size of the working area the mower can handle depends on how much it is used. The larger the lawn the more occasions per week Automower can work. How large an area is mown per hour depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type of grass, growth rate and humidity.
  • Page 12 2. PRESENTATION The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best mowing result. 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. 3012-422 English - 13...
  • Page 13 Working method Automower automatically mows the lawn. Automower automatically mows the lawn. When the battery is discharged the mower stops on the lawn, and you need to carry it to the loop generator/charger for charging.

    3.1 Preparations If the lawn in the proposed working area is taller than 4", mow it using a normal lawn mower. Then collect the clippings. Read carefully through all the steps before the installation. Check that all parts for the installation are...

  • Page 17: Charging The Battery

    Consider the distance to a wall socket when choosing the position. The loop generator/charger must be connected to a 120 V wall socket and there must be room for the mower when it is to charged. It is recommended to use an earth fault-breaker when connecting the transformer to the wall socket.

  • Page 18: Installation Of The Boundary Wire

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION Automower cannot be used before the installation is complete. 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: • Securing the wire to the ground with staples. It is preferable to staple down the boundary cable, if you want to make adjustments to the boundary wire during the first few weeks of operation.
  • Page 19 3. INSTALLATION 3012-759US Boundaries for the working area If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 14" from the obstacle. This will prevent Automower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear.
  • Page 20 3. INSTALLATION If the working area borders against a flat path or the like that lies level with the lawn, it is possible to allow Automower to run a little over the path. The boundary wire should then be laid 4" from the edge of the path. 3012-762US When the working area is divided by a flat slab path that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow...
  • Page 21 Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or large trees with raised roots, should be demarcated or removed. Automower can otherwise slide up onto this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged. If the mowing result in the garden is uneven due to the shape of the garden, for example because of a long passage, you have the option of dividing up your garden into zones.
  • Page 22 3. INSTALLATION The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope that is steeper than 10 %. There is a risk of Automower finding it difficult to turn, and being unable to move. The risk is at its greatest in damp weather conditions, as the wheels can slip on the wet grass.
  • Page 23 • Mow the lawn where the wire is to be laid using a normal lawn mower or a trimmer. It will then be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and the risk of the mower cutting the wire off is reduced.
  • Page 24 Laying the boundary wire in towards the loop generator/charger The ends of the boundary wire are run in parallel and close to each other in towards the loop generator/charger. As long as the total length of the boundary wire does not exceed 1200 ft, the sections where the wires run in parallel can be any length.

  • Page 25: Connecting The Boundary Wire

    3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the loop generator/charger: 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.

  • Page 26: Checking The Installation

    3.6 Checking the installation Check the loop signal by looking to see what indication the green LED on the loop generator/charger is giving. • Steady light = the signal is okay. • Flashing once every other second = break in the loop and no signal found.

  • Page 29: Adjusting The Cutting Height

    4.6 Adjusting the cutting height The cutting height can be varied from MIN (0.8") to MAX (2.5"). If the grass is long it is appropriate to let Automower start mowing at the MAX cutting height. Once the grass is shorter, you can gradually lower the cutting height. To adjust the cutting height: Press the STOP button to stop the mower.

  • Page 30: Changing The Pin Code

    4.7 Changing the PIN code To change the PIN code on the mower: Connect the loop generator/charger charging cable to the mower's charger contact. At most the mower may be two metres from the working area's boundary wire and the loop generator/charger must be connected to the mains supply.

    6. Garden example - Proposed installation An number of installations of Husqvarna Automower™ in different types of gardens are shown and explained in this chapter. See the examples as pointers for how to make the installation in your garden as good as possible.
  • Page 35 Proposals for installation Garden with a steep incline (30 %) that divides the garden into two areas, area: 0,09 acre. If the mowing result between the areas is uneven, the garden can ideally be divided into two zones The mower may find it difficult to climb steep inclines, consequently a garden with steep inclines can be mown unevenly, even if there are no passages.

  • Page 36: Maintenance

    7. Maintenance Check and clean the Husqvarna Automower™ regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improve operating reliability and to ensure a longer service life.

  • Page 38: Cleaning

    7.4 Cleaning It is important to keep Automower clean. A mower with a large amount of clippings negotiates slopes very poorly. Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean Automower. We recommend a brush and spray with water. Underframe and blade disc Set the main switch to the OFF position.
