.
The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product
has a battery power source and cuts the grass
automatically. It continuously alternates between
mowing and charging. The movement pattern is
random, which means that the lawn is mowed
evenly and with less wear. The boundary wire
and the guide wire controls the movement of the
product within the work area. Sensors in the
product senses when it is approaching the
boundary wire. The front of the product always
passes the boundary wire by a specific distance
before the product turns around. When the
product hits an obstacle or approaches the
boundary wire the product selects a new
direction.
The operator selects the operation settings in
Automower® Connect app. The app shows the
selected and possible operation settings, and the
operation mode of the product.
1.2.1 Mowing technique
The product is emission free, easy to use and
saves energy. The frequent cutting technique
improves the grass quality and decreases the
use of fertilizers. Collection of grass is not
necessary.
1.2.2 Find the charging station
The product operates until the battery is low, then
it starts to go to the charging station. The product
has 3 search methods to find the charging
station. Refer to

WARNING: Read and understand the
safety chapter before you install the
product.
CAUTION: Use original spare parts
and installation material.
Note: Refer to www.husqvarna.com for more
information about installation.
3.2 Main components for installation
The installation involves the following
components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the
boundary wire.
• To send control signals along the guide
wire so that the product can be send to
specific remote areas in the garden and
can find its way back to the charging
station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V wall
socket.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work
area and around objects and plants that the
product must not run into. The loop wire is
used both as boundary wire and guide wire.
3.3 General preparations
CAUTION:
Holes with water in the
lawn can cause damage to the
product.
Note: Read through the Installation chapter
before beginning the installation. How the
installation is done affects how the product
performs. It is therefore important to plan the
installation carefully.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and
include all obstacles. This makes it easier to
see the ideal positions for the charging
station, the boundary wire and the guide
wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put
the charging station, the boundary wire and
the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the
guide wire connects to the boundary wire.
Refer to
To install the guide wire on page
23
.
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
• Cut the grass before you install the product.
Make sure that the grass is maximum 10
cm / 4 in.
Note: The first weeks after installation the
perceived sound level when cutting the grass
may be higher than expected. When the product
has cut the grass for some time, the perceived
sound level is much lower.
3.4 Before the installation of the wires
You can select to attach the wires with stakes or
bury them. You can use the 2 procedures for the
same work area.
• Bury the boundary wire or the guide wire if
you are going to use a dethatcher on the
work area. If not, attach the boundary wire
or guide wire with stakes.
3.4.1 To examine where to put the charging
station
• Keep a minimum 3 m / 10 ft. of free space in
front of the charging station.
• Keep a minimum of 1.5 m / 5 ft. of free
space to the right and to the left of the
charging station.
• Put the charging station near a power outlet.
• Put the charging station on a level surface.

• Put the charging station in the largest open
section of the work area.
• Put the charging station in an area without
an irrigation system.
• Put the charging station in an area with
protection from the sun.
• If the charging station is installed on an
island, make sure to connect the guide wire
to the island. Refer to
To make an island on
page 19
.
3.4.2 To examine where to put the power
supply
WARNING:
Do not cut or extend the
low-voltage cable. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
CAUTION: Make sure that the blades
on the product do not cut the lowvoltage cable.
CAUTION: Do not put the low-voltage
cable in a coil or below the charging
station plate. The coil causes
interference with the signal from the
charging station.
• Put the power supply in an area with a roof
and protection from the sun and rain.
• Put the power supply in an area with good
airflow.
• Use a residual-current device (RCD) when
you connect the power supply to the power
outlet.
Low-voltage cables of different lengths are
available as accessories.
3.4.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION: If the work area is adjacent
to water bodies, slopes, precipices or a
public road, the boundary wire must
have a protective wall. The wall must
be minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends
when you install the boundary wire.
CAUTION: For careful operation
without noise, isolate all obstacles
such as trees, roots and stones.
The boundary wire should be put as a loop
around the work area. Sensors in the product
senses when the product approaches the
boundary wire, and the product selects another
direction.
To make the connection easier between the
guide wire and the boundary wire, it is
recommended to make an eyelet where the guide
wire will be connected. Make the eyelet with
approximately 20 cm / 8 in. of the boundary wire.

• Make an eyelet (F) where the guide wire is
to be connected to the boundary wire.
3.4.3.1 To put the boundary wire in a slope
The product can operate in 70% slopes. Slopes
that are too steep must be isolated with the
boundary wire. The gradient (%) is calculated as
height per m. Example: 10 cm / 100 cm = 10%.
10 cm/ 4"
100 cm/ 40"
10%
• For slopes up to 50% steep inside the work
area, the product will operate normally.
Keep a distance of 1.5 m / 5 ft between the
boundary wire and obstacles, or between
obstacles.
• For slopes between 50-70% steep, make
sure that there are no obstacles in the slope.
There must be a distance of 1.5 m / 5 ft from
the bottom of the slope to the boundary wire.
> 1.5 m / 5 ft

> 1.5 m / 5 ft
• For slopes adjacent to a public road, put a
fence or a protective wall along the outer
edge of the slope.
3.4.3.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on
each side and that connects 2 work areas. The
passage must be a minimum of 2 m / 6.5 ft wide
to get a good cutting result. Short passages can
be as narrow as 60 cm / 2 ft., if a guide wire is
installed through the passage. A long narrow
passage can have a negative impact of the
cutting result.
Note:
If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
A dead end must be a minimum of 2.5 m / 8.5 ft.
wide.

Note: Make sure that the guide wire has as much
free area as possible to the left of the guide wire
when facing the charging station. Minimum
distance between the guide wire and boundary
wire is 30 cm / 12 in.
3.4.3.3 To make an island
CAUTION:
Do not put a section of
boundary wire across the other. The
sections of boundary wire must be
parallel.
1427 - 002 - 20.12.2019
Installation - 19
CAUTION: Do not put the guide wire
across the boundary wire, for example
a boundary wire that goes to an island.
Some obstacles can withstand a collision, for
example, trees or bushes taller than 15 cm / 6 in.
The product will collide and then turn around with
this type of obstacle. However, obstacles that
slope slightly, for example stones or large trees
with raised roots, must be isolated or removed.
The product can run onto this kind of obstacle
causing the blades to be damaged. Use the
boundary wire to isolate areas inside the work
area by creating islands. When the boundary
wires to and from the island are put close
together, the product can run over the wire.
Note:
To achieve careful and silent operation, it is
recommended to isolate all fixed objects in the
work area.
• Put the boundary wire to and around the
obstacle to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire that run
to and from the obstacle close together
without crossing.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the
same stake.
• Make sure that there is a minimum of 1.5 m /
5 ft of empty space before an obstacle.

from the boundary wire.
• Do not make sharp bends when you install
the guide wire.
• If the work area has a slope, put the guide
wire in a straight line from the bottom of the
slope to the top of the slope. If it is not
possible to make a straight line, put the
guide wire diagonally across the slope.
CAUTION: Do not put the guide
wire in parallel with the slope, as
the illustration shows. This can
increase the wear on the grass.
3.4.5 Work area examples
• If the charging station is put in a small area
(A), make sure that the distance to the
boundary wire is at a minimum 3 m / 10 ft. in
front of the charging station.
• If the work area has a passage (B), make
sure that the distance to the boundary wire
is at a minimum 2 m / 6.5 ft. If the passage is
smaller than 2 m / 6.5 ft., install a guide wire
through the passage. Minimum passage
between the boundary wire is 60 cm / 24 in.
• If the work area has areas which are
connected by a narrow passage (B), you
can set the product to first follow and then
leave the guide wire after a certain distance
(C). The settings can be changed in

5 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction - maintenance
WARNING: The product must be
switched off before any maintenance is
done. The product is disabled when
the LED status indicator is not lit.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.
For better operation and longer service life, make
sure to clean the product regularly and replace
worn parts. All maintenance and servicing must
be done according to Husqvarna's instructions.
Refer to
Warranty on page 59
.
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the
amount of wear during this period has been low,
the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily.
The edges of the blades should not be damaged.
The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and
depends for instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones,
windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots and the
like.
The normal life is 3 to 6 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
Replace the blades
on page 36
on how to replace the blades.
Note:
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and
more energy is needed resulting in the product
not mowing such a large area.
5.2 Clean the product
CAUTION:
Never use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Never
use solvents for cleaning.
The product does not operate satisfactorily in
slopes if the wheels are blocked with grass. Use
a soft brush to clean the product.
Husqvarna recommends to use a special
cleaning and maintenance kit, available as
accessory. Speak to your Husqvarna
representative for more information.
5.2.1 To clean the blade disc

leaves, twigs and other objects that may impede
docking.
5.3 Replace the blades
WARNING:
Use blades and screws of
the right type. Husqvarna can only
guarantee safety when using original
blades. Only replacing the blades and
reusing the screw can result in a screw
wearing during mowing. The blades
can then be propelled from under the
body and cause serious injury.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety
reasons. Even if the blades are intact, they
should be replaced on a regular basis for the best
mowing result and low energy usage. All 3 blades
and screws must be replaced at the same time to
obtain a balanced cutting system. Use
Husqvarna original blades embossed with the
crowned H-mark logotype, refer to

.
6.6 Find breaks in the loop wire
Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of
unintentional physical damage to the wire such
as when gardening with a shovel. In countries
with ground frost, also sharp stones that move in
the ground can damage the wire. Breaks can
also occur due to the wire being stretched
excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the
installation can damage wire insulation. Damage
to the insulation may not cause disruptions until
several weeks or months later. To avoid this,
always select the maximum cutting height the
first weeks after installation and then lower the
height one step at a time every second week until
the desired cutting height has been reached.
A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead
to disruptions several weeks after the splice was
done. A faulty splice can, for example, be the
result of the original coupler not being pressed
together hard enough with a pair of pliers, or that
a coupler of lower quality than the original
coupler has been used. Please first check all
known splices before further troubleshooting is
done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving
the distance of the loop where the break may
have occurred until there is only a very short
section of the wire left.
The following method does not work if
ECO
mode
is activated. Make sure first that
ECO
mode
is turned off. Refer to
ECO mode on page

.
1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging
station flashes blue, which indicates a break
1427 - 002 - 20.12.2019 Troubleshooting - 51
in the boundary loop. Refer to
Indicator lamp
in the charging station on page 49
.
2. Check that the boundary wire connections to
the charging station are properly connected
and not damaged. Check that the indicator
lamp in the charging station is still flashing
blue.
AR
AL
G1
POWER
3. Switch the connections between the guide
wire and the boundary wire in the charging
station.
Start by switching connection AL and G1.
Some models have additional guide wires
(G2, G3). The same procedure can be
followed for them.
If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green
light, then the break is somewhere on the
boundary wire between AL and the point
where the guide wire is connected to the
boundary wire (thick black line in the
illustration).
Guide
G1
AL
To rectify the fault you will need boundary
wire, connector(s) and coupler(s):
a) If the suspected boundary wire is short
then it is easiest to exchange all of the
boundary wire between AL and the point
where the guide wire is connected to the
boundary wire (thick black line).
b) If the suspected boundary wire is long
(thick black line) then do as follows: Put AL
and G1 back to their original positions. Then
disconnect AR. Connect a new loop wire to
AR. Connect the other end of this new loop
wire at the middle of the suspected wire
section.

- Troubleshooting
1427 - 002 - 20.12.2019
AR
If the indicator lamp now is green, then the
break is somewhere in the wire between the
disconnected end to the point where the
new wire is connected (thick black line
below). In that case, move the connection
for the new wire closer to the disconnected
end (roughly at the middle of the suspected
wire section) and check again if the indicator
lamp is green.
Continue until only a very short section of
the wire remains which is the difference
between a solid green light and a flashing
blue light. Then follow instruction in step 5
below.
4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3
above: Put AL and G1 back in their original
positions. Then switch AR and G1. If
indicator lamp now is lit with a solid green
light then disconnect AL and connect a new
boundary wire to AL. Connect the other end
of this new wire at the middle of the
suspected wire section. Follow the same
approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.
5. When the break is found, the damaged
section must be replaced with a new wire.
Always use original couplers.
