1.2.1 Complete Operator’s Manual

A complete operator's manual is available on Husqvarna’s website www.husqvarna.com. It is more in detail about e.g. instructions about installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and menu structure.

1.2.2 Product description

Note: Husqvarna regularly updates the

appearance and function of the products. Refer to

Support on page 2

The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product has a battery power source and cuts the grass automatically. Collection of grass is not necessary.

The operator selects the operation settings with the buttons on the keypad. The display shows the selected and possible operation settings, and the operating mode of the product.

The boundary wire and the guide wire control the movement of the product within the work area.

1.2.2.1 Automower® Connect Automower® Connect is a mobile application

that makes it possible to select the operation settings remotely. Refer to

Connectivity on

page 19

1.3 Capacity

How big an area the product can keep cut depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type, growth and moisture of the grass. The shape of the yard is also significant. If the yard mainly consists of open lawn areas, the product can mow more per hour than if the yard consists of several small lawns separated by trees, flower beds and passages. For working capacity, refer to

Technical data on page 25

It is recommended to allow the product to mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result. The product can also mow in rain, however wet grass easily sticks on the product and there is a greater risk of slipping in steep slopes. The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp for as long as

2 - Introduction

1418 - 004 - 10.03.2020

possible it is important to keep the lawn free from branches, small stones and other objects. Replace the blades regularly. Refer to

Replace the blades on page 22

1.4 Movement pattern

The movement pattern of the product is random. This means that the lawn is mown evenly without any mowing lines.

1.5 Working method

Automower® 315X/430X/450X use GPSassisted navigation to start mowing in a place in the yard where it has not been lately. For the other models you might have to set remote start settings to make sure that the lawn is cut evenly, refer to the complete Operator’s Manual on Husqvarna’s website.

When the product hits an obstacle or approaches the boundary wire the product reverses and selects a new direction. Sensors at the front and back will sense when the product is approaching the boundary wire. The front always passes the boundary wire by a specific distance before the product turns around. The distance can be changed to adapt to the installation if required.

The STOP button on the top of the product is mainly used to stop the product when it’s running. When the STOP button is pushed a hatch opens, behind which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains pushed in until the hatch is closed again. This together with the START button acts as a start inhibitor.

Note: Always push the START button before

closing the hatch to start the product. If the START button is not pushed, a message beep is heard and the product will not start.

Note: When the product is started for the first

time, a start-up sequence begins which includes a number of important basic settings, refer to

To do the basic settings

in the complete Operator’s Manual on Husqvarna’s website.

1.6 Finding the charging station

The Automower® 305/310/315/315X/ 420/430X/440/450X can be set to search for the charging station in up to 3 different ways. The product automatically combines these 3 search methods to locate the charging station as fast as possible, but also to avoid as much tracks forming as possible. Automower® 105 always follows the guide wire to the charging station.

Schedule

The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Consequently, it is important to limit the operating time using the

Schedule

function if the work area is less than the product’s work capacity. The

Schedule

function is also an ideal tool to control which periods the product should not mow, for example when children are playing on the lawn.

Cutting height

Applicable for Automower

420/430X/440/450X

The cutting height can be varied from MIN (1) to MAX (9). During the first week after a new installation, the cutting height must be set to MAX to avoid damaging the loop wire. After this, the cutting height can be lowered one step every week until the desired cutting height has been reached.

Security

In this menu, settings relating to security and the connection between the product and the charging station can be made. There are 3 security levels to choose from:

Low, Medium, High

Messages

Applicable for Automower

305/310/315/315X/420/430X/ 440/450X

Historical fault and information messages can be read in this menu. For some of the most common fault messages, there are tips and advice to help you rectify the fault.

Weather timer

Applicable for Automower

305/315/315X/420/430X/440/450X

This function allows the product to automatically adjust its mowing times based on how much the lawn grows. When the weather is good for grass growth, the product mows more often and when grass growth is low the product automatically spends less time on the lawn.

Installation

This menu function is used to customize the installation. For many work areas there is no need to alter the factory settings, but depending on the lawn complexity the mowing result can be improved by making manual settings.

Settings

This selection allows you to make changes to the general product settings such as date and time. You can also switch on/off

of the season and how many hours a day the

product is operating. A long season or many hours of use a day means that the battery must be replaced more regularly.

Contact your local Husqvarna representative to replace the battery.

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

Warranty terms on page 34

5.4 To replace the blades

1. Switch off the product with the main

switch or the ON/OFF button.

2. Turn the product upside down. Place the
