Installation; Planning The Installation - Husqvarna Robotic Lawn Mower Operator's Manual

Planning the installation

To get a good mowing result, you must install the charging
station and boundary wires carefully. Read through the whole of
this section before you begin the installation.
When the Auto Mower is released into the working area the
length of the grass should not be more than 1–2 centimetres
longer than the set cutting height, especially if the working area
is large. It may be necessary to cut the grass using a traditional
lawn mower before using the Auto Mower for the first time. The
Auto Mower will then prevent the grass from growing long.
The boundary wire is laid so
that in frames in the Auto
Mower's working area. The loop
can also be used to delimit
areas within the working area.
The search wire is laid inside
the working area. When it is
time to recharge the battery the
Auto Mower will start to search
for the search wire.
The boundary wire must be no longer than 500 metres. The
distance between the Auto Mower and the nearest part of the
boundary wire must not exceed 35 meters anywhere in the
working area.
When the Auto Mower's working area borders, e.g. collections
of water, driveways and pathways, etc. the boundary wire must
be supplemented with a number of posts, edging or a fence with
a height of at least 15 cm. This is an additional safety measure
to prevent the Auto Mower from running outside of its working
area.
Placing the charging station
When you decide where to put the charging station, it is
important to consider how the power supply will be arranged.
The charging station is connected to the transformer via the
supplied 20 meters long low-voltage cable. The transformer
must be placed under cover in an area that is protected from
the weather, indoors if possible, and must be connected to a
230 V wall socket. If placed outdoors, the transformer should be
placed horizontally and at least 0.5 meters above the ground.
The transformer must never be exposed to dampness. Use only
the Husqvarna original low-voltage cable and transformer.
The most suitable location for the charging station is at the
outer edge of the working area. Exactly where depends on the
shape of the garden. If the working area consists of several
smaller areas that are separate and joined by pathways, it is
best to put the charging station as central as possible. The
search wire must also be laid so that the final meter before the
charging station is straight. The area under and in front of the
charging station must be flat and level.

INSTALLATION

The accompanying wheel plates should be placed underneath
and in front of the charging station. They reduce wear to the
lawn and give the mower a firm base to ensure reliable charg-
ing. See the illustrations for examples.
The area in front of the charg-
ing station should be as open
as possible. Don't put the
charging station in a "pocket".
We recommend that the
charging station is placed
somewhere along a straight
part of the boundary wire rather
than in a corner.
270
The mower normally leaves the charging station at a random
angle within the range 90–270° (see diagram).
