PRESENTATION Presentation Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally high quality product. To get the best from your Auto Mower requires knowl- edge of its function. This chapter contains information you should be aware of when planning the installation. Installation of the Husqvarna Auto Mower includes four main components: Auto Mower, an automatic lawn mower that mows the lawn by moving in essentially an irregular pattern. The mower is powered by a maintenance free

PRESENTATION 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. The mower starts to seek out the charging station when the capacity of the battery becomes too low. The Auto Mower does not mow when it is

PRESENTATION 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. 3012-247 The control panel on the top of the Auto Mower is where you manage all the mower settings. The main switch is also located on the control panel. Open the control panel cover by pressing do

PRESENTATION Movement pattern The mower’s movement pattern is irregular and is determined by the Auto Mower itself. A movement pat- tern is never repeated. This mowing system means the lawn is mown equally without any mowing lines. 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. Thereafter the mower returns t

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. B. Planning the installation C. Placing the charging station. D. Charging the battery. E. Laying the boundary wire. F. Connecting the boundary wire. G. Checking the installation H. Linking the Auto Mower to the charging

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. 3012-233 • In the shadow. The battery is spared if it charged in the low possible ambient temperature. • On relatively level ground. The height difference must not differ more than 10 cm between the front and rear of the charging station. Max 10 cm Max 10 cm 301

INSTALLATION 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. The available garden shapes are: open, complex 1 and complex 2. The following pictures are examples of the different garden shapes. The pictures are also good examples of appropriate charging station placement. • The open sha

Lawn area 1500 m respective 800 m Do not put the charging station in a corner or pocket in the working area. 3012-235 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

INSTALLATION Boundary wire For a successful installation the placement of the boundary wire should be planned carefully. Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the working area, including all obstacles. Draw how the boundary wire should be routed on the sketch. The boundary wire should be laid so it: • Forms a loop around the working area for the Auto Mower. Only Husqvarna boundary wire ought to be used. This is tinned and has a high quality insulation to withstand the dampne

INSTALLATION Remember the following with regard to the working area boundaries: • If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, bor- ders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the Auto Mower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear. 35 cm 3012-229 • If the working area borders against, for example, pools of water the boundary wire should be supple- mented with a fence or the like. The height must then be at least

INSTALLATION Remeber the following with regard to the working area boundaries: • The Auto Mower can mow areas with a gradient of up to 1: 3 (33 cm/m) inside the working area. Areas that slope more must be demarcated by the bound- ary wire. 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. • Use the boundary

INSTALLATION • In order for the loop system to work well, the wires in passages where the Auto Mower is to run Secondary area through must not lie too close together. A passage should be at least 2 metres wide so the Main area Auto Mower can find it and make its way through it. The minimum spacing between the wires in a pas- sage is 130 cm. 2m 3012-232 The transition between a large area and a passage should be, if possible, designed like a ”funnel”, with rounded corners, to make it easier
