2. PRESENTATION
2. Presentation
This chapter contains information you should be aware
of when planning the installation.
An installation of Husqvarna Automower™ comprises
three main components:
Automower, an automatic lawn mower that mows the
lawn by moving in an irregular pattern. The mower is
powered by a maintenance-free battery.
Loop generator/charger.
The loop generator/charger has two functions:
•To send control signals along the boundary wire.
•To charge the battery in Automower.
The loop generator/charger is connected to a 230 V
wall socket via an integrated power cord and to the
mower via a 2 m long low voltage cable.
Wire, laid in a loop around Automower’s working
area. The boundary wire is laid around the edges of
the lawn and around objects and plants that the
mower must not run into.
The wire supplied with the installation is 150 m long. If
this is not sufficient more wire can be purchased, with
a connector, and spliced onto the existing wire.

2. PRESENTATION
2.2 Function of Automower
™
Capacity
Automower is recommended for lawns up to 500 m
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 the 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. The shape of the garden is
also significant. If the garden mainly consists of open
lawns, Automower can mow more per hour than if the
garden consists of several small lawns separated by
trees, flower beds and passages.
Automower must work several times a week for the
lawn to be mown properly. If the grass is too tall when
the mower starts to work the result will be poor. Neither
is it advisable to allow Automower to mow too often. If
the mower works too much, the lawn will appear
trampled down. How many times, and how long, the
mower should work per week, is determined among
others by the shape of the lawn, the length of the grass
and the condition of the blades. If the lawn is 500 m
is recommended to let Automower mow three times a
week. Match the use of Automower to your garden.

it
How long Automower mows and recharges can vary
depending on, among others, the ambient
temperature. Up to about 25°C a fully charged
Automower mows for approximately 4 -6 hours,
depending on the age of the battery and the thickness
of the grass. It takes around 12 - 15 hours to fully
charge the battery in the mower. The mowing time
drops successively above 25°C.
Mowing technique
The mowing system used by Automower is based on
an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike
normal lawn mowers, Automower cuts the grass
instead of striking it off.
We recommend you allow Automower to mainly mow
in dry weather to obtain the best possible result.
Automower can even mow in the rain, however, wet
grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of
slipping on steep slopes is greater.
If there is a risk of thunder, the 230 V plug should be
removed.
12 - English
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

2. PRESENTATION
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.
When Automower body hits an obstacle, the mower
reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, at the front and back on Automower,
sense when the mower approaches the boundary
wire. Automower overruns the wire by up to
27 centimetres before it turns.
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. This acts
as start inhibitor.
You start the mower via the control panel on top of
Automower. Open the control panel cover by
pressing down the STOP button.
A four digit PIN code must be chosen and entered
when the main switch is set in the ON position for the
first time. (see page 30).
The chosen PIN code must then be entered each
time the mower is started. If the mower does not start
within 20 seconds the PIN code must be re-entered
until the mower starts. Slide shut the cover to start the
mower after the PIN code has been entered.
Automower can, to save energy, enter sleep mode.
The indicator lamps on the control panel are then
turned off completely.
3012-772
3012-388
3012-779
The sleep mode is activated 25 minutes after the
STOP button has been pressed and then not reset to
the operating mode. Automower is then activated by
switching the main switch off and on.
The sleep mode can also be activated in the event of a
fault occurring during mowing or charging and which is
not rectified within 25 minutes. Automower is then
activated by pressing the STOP button.
14 - English
2. PRESENTATION
Movement pattern
The mower’s movement pattern is irregular and is
determined by Automower itself. A movement pattern
is never repeated. This mowing system means the
lawn is mown equally without any mowing lines.
3012-755
2.3 One Automower
™
in several
gardens
One Automower can easily be used for more than one
garden, where each garden has its own loop
generator/charger and boundary wire.
Contact your dealer for further information.

3. INSTALLATION
3. Installation
This chapter describes how you install Husqvarna
Automower™. Before starting the installation read the
previous chapter 2. Presentation .
Read the whole of this chapter too before starting the
installation. How the installation is made also affects
how well Automower will work. It is therefore important
to plan the installation carefully.
Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the
working area, including all obstacles. This makes it
easier to see how the boundary wire should ideally be
placed. Draw how the boundary wire is to be routed on
the sketch.
Carry out the installation in the following steps:
3.1 Preparations.
3.2 Installation of the loop generator/charger
3.3 Charging the battery.
3.4 Installation of the boundary wire.
3.5 Connecting the boundary wire.
3.6 Checking the installation.
3.7 Linking Automower™ to the loop generator/charger
In order to carry out a complete start-up of Automower
the loop generator/charger and boundary wire must be
connected and the mower linked to the loop
generator/charger. If you would like to start the mower
without having completed the full boundary installation,
you can connect a temporary short loop around the
mower.
