operator ’ s manual.
The concept behind the Automower comes straight out of nature - the principle of the grazing animal. Which means basically that the grass is cut a little and often. This is not only more ef ficient, it’ s better for the grass too. Please read this Operator ’s Manual carefully before using the machine.

10 Automower from 2. Presentation ™ 2. Presentation This chapter contains information you should be aware of when planning the installation. An installation of Automower from Husqvarna™ includes four main components: Automower, an automatic lawn mower that mows the lawn by moving in essentially an irregular pattern.
Automower from 11 2. Presentation ™ 2.1 Automower, what’s what? The numbers in the picture correspond to: 1. Charging strip 2. Cutting height adjustment cover 3. Catch button to open the cutting height adjustment cover 4. Front wheel 5. Drive wheel 6.
12 Automower from 2. Presentation ™ 2.2 Function of Automower Capacity The Automower is recommended for lawns up to 0.5 acre. Automower mows about 800 ft 2 per hour. How large an area is mown depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type of grass, growth rate and humidity.
Automower from 13 2. Presentation ™ Working method The Automower automatically mows the lawn. It continuously combines mowing and charging. The charging station sends out a signal that the Automower can sense at a distance of 20 - 23 ft. The mower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low.
14 Automower from 2. Presentation ™ The STOP button on the top of Automower 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.
Automower from 15 2. Presentation ™ Movement pattern The mower’s movement pattern is irregular and is determined by the Automower itself. A movement pattern is never repeated. This mowing system means the lawn is mown equally without any mowing lines.
16 Automower from 2. Presentation ™ Search method 2: Follow loop in Automower runs irregularly until it reaches the boundary wire. The mower then follows the boundary wire in to the charging station. This search method is best for an installation that has an open lawn with wide passages (wider than about 10 ft) and no, or only a small, island.
Automower from 17 2. Presentation ™ 2.4 More than one Automower in a garden If you install more than one Automower in the same area of lawn, each mower must have its own PIN code. However, if the boundary wires are laid at least 16" from each other the mowers can have the same PIN code.
18 Automower from 3. Installation ™ 3. Installation This chapter describes how you install Automower from Husqvarna™. Before starting the installation read the previous chapter 2. Presentation . Read the whole of this chapter too before starting the installation.
Automower from 19 3. Installation ™ 3.1 Preparations 1. If the lawn in the proposed working area is taller than 4", mow it using a normal lawn mower. Then collect the clippings. 2. Read carefully through all the steps before the installation. 3.
20 Automower from 3. Installation ™ The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free area in front of it (at least 10 ft). It should also be positioned centrally in the working area so that Automower can easily find the charging station and quickly reach all parts of the working area.
Automower from 21 3. Installation ™ Do not put the charging station in a corner or pocket in the working area. Avoid placing the charging station in a narrow passage (narrower than about 10 ft). Installation and connecting the charging station 1. Position the charging station in a suitable spot.
22 Automower from 3. Installation ™ 3. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station. Only use original cable and transformer. 4. Connect the low voltage cable to the transformer. The connectors may be slightly difficult to connect, as they are moisture-proof.
Automower from 23 3. Installation ™ 3.3 Charging the battery The Automower is supplied with an uncharged battery. As soon as the charging station is connected, it is possible to charge the mower. 1. Set the main switch to the OFF position. 2. Place the Automower in the charging station to charge the battery while you are laying the boundary wire.
24 Automower from 3. Installation ™ • The boundary wire is laid at different distances from obstacles depending on what the working area borders. The picture below shows how the boundary wire should be routed around the working area and around obstacles.
Automower from 25 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 the Automower to run a little over the path. The boundary wire should then be laid 4" from the edge of the path.
26 Automower from 3. Installation ™ Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and fountains.
Automower from 27 3. Installation ™ Passages when mowing Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than 5 - 7 ft, should be avoided. When Automower mows there is a risk that it runs around in the passage or area for a too long a period. The lawn will then look flattened.
28 Automower from 3. Installation ™ Slopes The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10 %. 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 there.
Automower from 29 3. Installation ™ Laying out the boundary wire Run the boundary wire around the working area, but wait before connecting the wire to the charging station. When you run the boundary wire, remember the boundary wire may need to be adjusted later.
30 Automower from 3. Installation ™ If you intend to bury the boundary wire: • Make sure to place the boundary wire at least 0.5" and a maximum of 8" into the ground. The boundary wire must not be crossed on the path to and from an island.
Automower from 31 3. Installation ™ Joining the boundary wire If the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced: Use original solderless coupler, part number 535 13 37-01. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection. To splice: Insert both cable ends in the coupler.
32 Automower from 3. Installation ™ 2. Slide in the ends of the boundary wire in the lowermost holes on the charging station and catch them in the uppermost holes. The right hand wire end should be inserted in the right hand hole, and the left hand wire end in the left hand hole.
Automower from 33 3. Installation ™ 5. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 0.4" - 0.8" above respective connectors. 6. Press the connector onto the contact pin, marked A, on the charging station. 7. Refit the cover on the charging station.
34 Automower from 3. Installation ™ 3.7 Linking the Automower to the charging station 1. Open the control panel cover by pressing the STOP button. 2. Place the Automower in the charging station. 3. Set the main switch to the ON position. A start-up sequence begins when the Automower is started for the first time.
Automower from 35 3. Installation ™ • The boundary wire runs along a steep slope (steeper than 35 %). When Automower follows the boundary wire that runs along a steep slope, the mower will change direction and run away from the boundary wire. • Numerous or large islands.
36 Automower from 3. Installation ™ Placement and connection of the guide wire 1. Check that the charging station has the best placement. The guide wire together with the part of the boundary wire that makes up the return to the charging station is known as the guide loop.
Automower from 37 3. Installation ™ 7. Route the guide wire at least 7 ft straight out from the front edge of the charging plate. If you shall install the guide wire through a passage: • Automower follows the guide wire on the same side of the wire both to and from the charging station.
38 Automower from 3. Installation ™ 11. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire with the help of a solderless coupler: • Insert the ends of the boundary wire in the right respective left-hand holes on the connector. • Insert the end of the guide wire in the centre hole.
Automower from 39 4. Use ™ 4. Use 4.1 Charging a discharged battery When Automower from Husqvarna™ is new or has been stored for a long period the battery will not be charged and needs to be charged before starting. Charging takes between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 hours.
40 Automower from 4. Use ™ 4.2 Using the timer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.4 Timer (2) on page 49) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the maximum life from your Automower.
Automower from 41 4. Use ™ 4.5 Restart Restart within 20 seconds 1. Close the control panel cover. The Automower starts automatically. Restart after more than 20 seconds If more than 20 seconds has elapsed since the last time the STOP button or the keypad was pressed it is not possible to start the Automower by just closing the cover.
42 Automower from 4. Use ™ 4.7 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.
Automower from 43 5. Control panel ™ 5. Control panel All forms of commands and settings for Automower from Husqvarna™ are made via the control panel. All functions are accessed via a number of menus. The control panel consists of a display and a keypad.
