PRESENTATION
2 Presentation
This chapter contains information that is important to be
aware of when planning the installation.
Installing a Husqvarna robotic lawnmower involves four
main components:
• A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by essentially
operating in a random pattern. The robotic lawnmower
is powered by a maintenance-free battery.
• A charging station, to where the robotic lawnmower
automatically returns when the charge level in the
battery becomes too low.
The charging station has three functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary wire.
3012-1305
• To send control signals along the guide wire.
• To charge the battery in the robotic lawnmower.
• A power supply, which is connected between the
charging station and a 100V-240V wall socket. The
power supply is connected to the wall socket and to
the charging station using a 10 m long low voltage
cable. The low voltage cable must not be shortened
or extended.
A longer low voltage cable is available as optional
accessory. Please contact your dealer for more
information.
The appearance of the power supply may differ
depending on market.
• A loop wire, laid in a loop around the robotic
lawnmower’s working area. The loop wire is laid
around the edges of the lawn and around objects and
plants that the robotic lawnmower must not run into.
The loop wire is also used as the guide wire.
The maximum permitted length for the boundary loop
is 800 m.
3012-1041
3012-1352
3012-221
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Loop wire for the boundary, pegs, connector for the loop wire and couplers for
the loop wire are purchased in a separate
Installation kit.
Always use genuine spare parts and accessories

2.3 Function
Capacity
The robotic lawnmower is recommended for lawns up to
1,500 m2 (1,000 m2 for Automower® 310).
How big an area the robotic lawnmower can keep cut
depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the
type, growth and moisture of the grass. The shape of the
garden is also signicant. If the garden mainly consists of
open lawn areas, the robotic lawnmower can mow more
per hour than if the garden consists of several small lawns
separated by trees, ower beds and passages.
A fully charged robotic lawnmower mows for 60 to 80
minutes, depending on the age of the battery and how
thick the grass is. Then the robotic lawnmower will
charge for 60 to 70 minutes. The charging time can
vary depending on, among other factors, the ambient
temperature.

PRESENTATION
Mowing technique
The cutting system in the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower
is based on an efcient and energy saving principle.
Unlike many standard lawnmowers, the robotic
lawnmower cuts the grass instead of knocking it off.
We recommend you allow the robotic lawnmower to
mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible
result. Husqvarna’s robotic lawnmowers can also mow
in the rain, however, wet grass easily sticks on the robotic
lawnmower and there is a greater risk of slipping on 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 possible it is important to keep the lawn free
from branches, small stones and other objects which
can damage the blades.
Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing result.
It is very easy to replace the blades. See 8.7 Blades on
page 73.
3020-002
Working method
The robotic lawnmower automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously alternates between mowing and charging.
The robotic lawnmower starts to search for the charging
station when the battery charge becomes too low. The
robotic lawnmower does not mow when it is searching for
the charging station.
When the robotic lawnmower is searching for the
charging station, it can nd it in a number of different
ways. See Finding the charging station on page 14.
When the battery is fully charged, the robotic lawnmower
will leave the charging station and start mowing in a
predened area in the garden. You might have to set
manual exit settings to make sure that the lawn will be cut
evenly, see 6.7 “Installation” on page 50.
When the robotic lawnmower body hits an obstacle, the
robotic lawnmower reverses and selects a new direction.
Sensors at the front and back will sense when the robotic
lawnmower is approaching the boundary wire. The
robotic lawnmower travels up to 32 centimetres beyond
the wire before it turns around.

PRESENTATION
The STOP button on the top of the robotic lawnmower
is mainly used to stop the robotic lawnmower when it’s
running. When the STOP button is pressed a hatch
opens, behind which there is a control panel. The STOP
button remains pressed in until the hatch is closed again.
This together with the START button acts as a start
inhibitor.
The control panel on the top of the robotic lawnmower is
where you manage all the robotic lawnmower settings.
When the main switch is set to 1 for the rst time,
a start-up sequence begins which includes a number
of important basic settings. See 3.8 First start-up and
calibration on page 33.
3012-1381
Movement pattern
The movement pattern of the robotic lawnmower is
random and is determined by the robotic lawnmower itself
and depends on how the lawn looks. The mower will not
always drive in straight lines and a movement pattern
is never repeated. With this cutting system the lawn is
mown very evenly without any straight mowing lines from
the robotic lawnmower.
Finding the charging station
The robotic lawnmower can be set to search for the
charging station in one or more of three different ways.
The robotic lawnmower automatically combines these
three search methods to locate the charging station as
fast as possible but also to avoid as much tracks forming
as possible.
Using the manual settings options the three search
methods can be combined to optimise the search for the
charging station for the shape of the garden in question,
see 6.7 Installation on page 50.
3012-1094
3023-034
Search method 1: Irregular
The robotic lawnmower operates irregularly until it gets
3023-035
close to the charging station.
The benet with this search method is that there is no risk
of tracks on the lawn from the robotic lawnmower. The
disadvantage is that search times can be somewhat long.

PRESENTATION
Search method 2: Follow guide wire
The robotic lawnmower operates irregularly until it
reaches the guide wire. Then the robotic lawnmower
follows the guide wire to the charging station.
The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging
station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working
area or through a narrow passage to be then connected
with the boundary loop. See 3.6 Installation of the guide
wire on page 29.
This search method makes it easier for the robotic
lawnmower to nd the charging station beyond many
or large islands, narrow passages or steep slopes.
The benet of this search method is shorter search times.
Search method 3: Follow boundary wire
The robotic lawnmower operates irregularly until it
reaches the boundary loop. Then it follows the boundary
loop to the charging station. The robotic lawnmower
randomly selects to travel clockwise or anticlockwise.
3023-036
This search method is suitable in an installation with
an open lawn space, wide passages (wider than about
3 metres) and no or only a few small islands.
The benet of this search method is that there is no need
to install a guide wire.
The disadvantage is that some tracks can be formed
in the lawn alongside the boundary loop. The search
time will also be longer if there are narrow passages
or numerous islands in the installation.
As a rule, this search method is used only if the robotic
lawnmower cannot nd the charging station using search
method 1 or 2 within the expected time period.

INSTALLATION
3 Installation
This chapter describes how to install the robotic
lawnmower. Before starting the installation read the
previous chapter 2. Presentation.
Read also through this entire chapter before beginning
the installation. How the installation is done also affects
how well the robotic lawnmower works. It is therefore
important to plan the installation carefully.
Planning is simplied if you make a sketch of the working
area, including all obstacles. This makes it easier to see
the ideal positions for the charging station, the boundary
wire and the guide wire. Draw on the sketch where the
boundary and guide wires should be routed.
See 7 Garden examples on page 64 for installation
examples.
Visit also www.automower.com for further descriptions
and tips regarding installation.
Carry out the installation as outlined in the
following steps:
3.1 Preparations
3.2 Installation of the charging station
3.3 Charging the battery
3.4 Installation of the boundary wire
3.5 Connecting the boundary wire
3.6 Installation of the guide wire
3.7 Checking the installation
3.8 First start-up and calibration
3.9 Test docking with the charging station
The charging station, boundary loop and guide wire must
be connected to be able to carry out a complete start-up.
3.1 Preparations
1. If the lawn in the working area is longer than
10 cm mow it using a standard lawnmower.
Then collect the grass.
2. Fill in holes and hollows to stop rainwater forming
pools of water. The product may be damaged if it
is operated in pools of water. See 11 Guarantee
terms on page 85.
3. Read carefully through all the steps before the
installation.

INSTALLATION
The charging station must be positioned with a great deal
of free space in front of it (at least 3 metres). It should
also be centrally placed in the working area to make it
easier for the robotic lawnmower to reach all areas in the
working area.
Do not put the charging station in conned spaces in the
working area. This can make it difcult for the robotic
mower to nd the charging station.
3023-038
The charging station must be positioned on relatively
level ground. The front end of the charging station must
be a maximum of 5 cm higher or lower than the back end.
The charging station must not be positioned in a way that
can bend its base plate.

INSTALLATION
Connecting the power supply
Take the following into consideration when planning
where to place the power supply:
• Close to the charging station
• Protection from rain
• Protection from direct sunlight
If the power supply is connected to an electrical socket
outdoors, this must be approved for outdoor use.
The low voltage cable for the power supply is 10 metres
long, and may not be shortened or extended. A longer low
voltage cable is available as optional accessory. Please
contact your dealer for more information.
It is not allowed to connect the power supply directly to
the charging station. The low voltage cable must always
be used.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The low voltage cable must not under any
circumstances be shortened or extended.
It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working
area. The low voltage cable must be stapled down or
buried.
3012-1352
3018-069
Make sure the low voltage cable is laid along the ground
and secured with pegs. The cable must lie close to the
ground so as not to be cut before the grass roots have
grown over it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Place the low voltage cable so that the
blades on the blade disc can never come
in contact with it.
The power supply must be placed where it is well
ventilated and is not exposed to direct sunlight. The power
supply must be placed under a roof.
It is recommended to use a ground fault circuit interrupter
when connecting the power supply to the wall socket.
The power supply must be mounted on a vertical surface,
such as a wall or a fence.

Do not, under any circumstances, mount the power
supply at a height where there is a risk it can be
submerged in water (at least 30 cm from the ground). It is
not permitted to place the power supply on the ground.
Never connect the power supply to a outlet if plug or cord
is damaged. Damaged or entangled cord increase the
risk of electric shock.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use the power supply’s plug to disconnect
the charging station, for instance before
cleaning or repairing the loop wire.

INSTALLATION
3.4 Installation of the boundary wire
Ensure correct installation of the boundary wire according to the instruction
The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways:
• Secure the wire to the ground with pegs.
It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during
the rst few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will have grown over the wire making it no longer
visible. Use a hammer/plastic mallet and the pegs supplied when carrying out the installation.
• Bury the wire.
It is preferable to bury the boundary wire if you want to dethatch or aerate the lawn. If necessary, both
methods can be combined so one part of the boundary wire is pegged down and the remainder is buried.
The wire can be buried for instance using an edge cutter or a straight spade. Make sure to lay the boundary
wire at least 1 cm and a maximum of 20 cm in the ground.
Plan where to lay the boundary wire
The boundary wire must be laid so that:
• The wire forms a loop around the working area for the robotic lawnmower. Only original boundary wire
must be used. It is specially designed to resist dampness from the soil that could otherwise easily damage
the wires.
• The robotic lawnmower is never more than 35 metres from the wire at any point in the entire working area.
• The wire is no more than 800 metres long.
• About 20 cm of extra wire is available to which the guide wire will be connected later. See 3.6 Installation of
the guide wire on page 29 .
Depending on what the working area is adjacent to, the boundary wire must be laid at different distances from
obstacles. The illustration below shows how the boundary wire must be laid around the working area and around
obstacles. Use the supplied measurement gauge to obtain the correct distance. See 2.1 What is what? on page 11.
3023-031

INSTALLATION
Working area boundaries
If a high obstacle (5 cm or more), for example a wall
or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire
should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent
the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle
and reduce body wear.
About 20 cm of the lawn around the xed obstacle will not
be mown.
If the working area borders on a small ditch, for example
a ower bed or a small elevation, for example a low
kerbstone (1-5 cm), the boundary wire should be laid
30 cm inside the working area. This prevents the wheels
from driving into the ditch or up onto the kerbstone
which might be lead to excessive wear on the robotic
lawnmower, and especially the front wheels.
3012-1111
About 15 cm of the lawn along the ditch/kerbstone will not
be mown.
If the working area borders on a paving stone path or
similar that is level with the lawn (+/- 1 cm), it is possible
to allow the robotic lawnmower to run a little over the
path. The boundary wire should then be laid 10 cm from
the edge of the path.
All the grass along the side of the paving stone path will
be cut.
When the working area is divided by a paving stone path
that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow the robotic
lawnmower to run over the path. It can be an advantage
to lay the boundary wire under the paving stones. The
boundary wire can also be laid in the joint between the
paving stones. Ensure that the tiles are in level with the
lawn to avoid excessive wear on the robotic lawnmower.
Note: The robotic lawnmower must never run over gravel,
mulch or similar material which can damage the blades.
3012-1112
3012-1113
3012-1114
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the working area is adjacent to water
bodies, slopes, precipices or a public
Min.
15cm/16"
road, the boundary wire must be supplemented with an edging or the like. It must
then be at least 15 cm in height. This will
prevent the robotic lawnmower from ending up outside the working area under any
circumstance.

INSTALLATION
Boundaries within the working area
Use the boundary wire to isolate areas inside the working
area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot
withstand a collision, for example owerbeds, bushes and
fountains. Lay the wire up to and around the area to be
isolated, and then return it back along the same route.
If pegs are used, the wire should be laid under the same
pegs on the return route. When the boundary wires to
and from the island are laid close together, the robotic
lawnmower can drive over the wire.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The boundary wire may not be crossed on
its way to and from an island.
Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example,
trees or bushes taller than 15 cm, do not need to be
isolated with the boundary wire. The robotic lawnmower
will turn around when it collides with this type of obstacle.
It is recommended to isolate all xed objects in and
around the working area. This results in the most
gentle and silent operation and prevent the robotic
lawnmower from getting stuck in the objects under
any circumstances.
Obstacles that slope slightly, for example stones or large
trees with raised roots, must be isolated or removed.
Otherwise the robotic lawnmower can slide up onto this
kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged.
Secondary areas
If the working area consists of two areas which the
robotic lawnmower has difculty travelling between, it is
recommended to set up a secondary area. Instances of
this are 40% slopes or a passage that is narrower than
60 cm. Lay the boundary wire then around the secondary
area so that it forms an island outside of the main area.
The robotic lawnmower must be moved manually
between the main and secondary area when the lawn
in the secondary area has to be cut. The Secondary
area (A) operating mode must be used as the robotic
lawnmower cannot travel on its own from the secondary
area to the charging station. See 5.1 Operation selection
Start on page 40. In this mode, the robotic lawnmower
will never look for the charging station but will mow until
the battery runs out. When the battery is at, the robotic
lawnmower will stop and the Needs manual charging
message will appear in the display. Then place the robotic
lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery.
If the main area has to be cut straight after charging, the
START button must be pressed and the Main area (B)
selected before closing the hatch.

INSTALLATION
Passages when mowing
Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than
1.5 to 2 metres should be avoided. When the robotic
lawnmower mows, there is a risk that it travels around in
the passage or area for a long period of time. The lawn
will then look attened.
Slopes
The robotic lawnmower can also operate on sloping
working areas. The maximum gradient is dened as
percentage units (%). The slope as a percentage is
calculated as the difference in elevation in centimetres
for every metre. If for instance the difference in elevation
is 10 cm, the slope gradient is 10%. See the illustration.
The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants
less than 15%.
3012-1346
The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope
that is steeper than 15%. There is a risk that the robotic
lawnmower will nd it difcult to turn there. The robotic
lawnmower will then stop and the Outside working area
fault message is displayed. The risk is at its greatest in
damp weather conditions, as the wheels can slip on the
wet grass.
However, the boundary wire can be laid across a slope
steeper than 15% if there is an obstacle that the robotic
lawnmower is allowed to collide with, for example, a fence
or a dense hedge.
Inside the working area the robotic lawnmower can mow
areas which slope up to 40%. Areas that slope more must
be isolated with the boundary wire.
When a part of the working area’s outer edge slopes more
than 15%, the boundary wire must be laid about 20 cm in
on the at ground before the beginning of the slope.

INSTALLATION
Laying the boundary wire
If you intend to peg down the boundary wire:
• Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower
or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid. It will then
be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and
the risk of the robotic lawnmower cutting the wire
or damaging the insulation of the wire is reduced.
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire close to the
ground and secure the pegs close together. The
cable must lie close to the ground so as not to be cut
before the grass roots have grown over it.
• Use a hammer to knock the pegs into the ground.
Exercise care when knocking in the pegs and make
sure the wire is not under strain. Avoid sharp bends
in the wire.
If the boundary wire is to be buried:
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire at least 1 cm and
a maximum of 20 cm in the ground. The wire can be
buried for instance using an edge cutter or a straight
spade.
3018-085
Use the supplied measurement gauge as a guide when
you lay out the boundary wire. This helps you to easily
set the correct distance between the boundary wire
and the boundary/obstacle. The measurement gauge is
broken loose from the box.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Extra wire must not be placed in coils
outside the boundary wire. This can
disrupt the robotic lawnmower.
Eyelet for connecting the guide wire
To facilitate the connection of the guide wire to the
boundary wire, it is recommended to create an eyelet with
about 20 cm of extra boundary wire at the point where
the guide wire will later be connected. It is a good idea to
plan where the guide wire will be placed before laying out
the boundary wire. See 3.6 Installation of the guide wire
on page 29.

INSTALLATION
Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging
station
On its way toward the charging station, the boundary wire
can be laid completely outside the charging station (see
option 1 in the gure). If there is a need to partly locate
the charging station outside the working area, it is also
possible to lay the wire under the charging station plate
(see option 2 in the gure).
2.
However most of the charging station must not be placed
outside the working area as the robotic lawnmower
can then nd it difcult to nd the charging station
(see gure).
Splicing the boundary wire
Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long
enough and needs to be spliced. It is waterproof and
gives a reliable electrical connection.
Insert both wire ends in the coupler. Check that the wires
are fully inserted into the coupler so that the ends are
visible through the transparent area on the other side
of the coupler. Now press down the button on top of the
coupler fully. Use a polygrip to completely press down the
button on the coupler.
3012-1065
3012-1323
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Twinned cables, or a screw terminal block
that is insulated with insulation tape are
not satisfactory splices. Soil moisture will
cause the wire to oxidise and after a time
result in a broken circuit.

The right hand wire end must be connected to the right hand pin on the charging
station and the left hand wire end to the
left pin.
1. Place the wire ends in the connector:
• Open the connector.
• Place the wire in the connector grip.
2. Press the connectors together using a pair of
pliers. Press until you hear a click.
3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm
above each connector.
4. Tilt the protective cover on the charging station
forward and run the wire ends up each channel
at the rear of the charging station. Press the
connector onto the metal pins, marked AL (left)
and AR (right), on the charging station.
5. Mark the wires with the accompanying cable
markers. This makes it easier to reconnect the
wires correctly when for instance the charging
station has been stored indoors for the winter.

3.6 Installation of the guide wire
The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging
station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working
area or through a narrow passage to be then connected
with the boundary loop. The same cable roll is used for
both the boundary loop and guide wire.
The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to nd
its way back to the charging station but also to guide the
robotic lawnmower to hard-to reach areas of the garden.
Run the robotic lawnmower at varying distances from the
guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming. The area
beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then uses
is called the Corridor. The wider the corridor allowed by
the installation, the less the risk of tracks forming. When
installing, it is therefore important to create as much free
space as possible along the guide wire.
The robotic lawnmower always runs to the left of the
guide wire as seen facing the charging station. Thus the
corridor is to the left of the guide wire. When installing,
it is therefore important to create as much free space as
possible to the left of the guide wire, as seen facing the
charging station. It is not allowed to lay the guide wire
closer than 30 cm from the boundary wire.
The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be pegged
on or buried in the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure to have as much free space
as possible to the left of the guide wire,
as seen facing the charging station.

Laying and connecting the guide wire
1. Before laying and connecting the guide wire, it
is important to give consideration to the length
of the guide loop, especially in large or complex
installations. If the guide loop is longer than 400
metres the robotic lawnmower can have difculty
following the guide wire.
The guide wire together with the section of the
boundary loop that makes up the return wire
to the charging station is called the guide loop.
The current in the guide loop always goes to the
left at the connection from the guide wire to the
boundary loop. The two gures here display what
is regarded as a guide loop. The gures are also
a good example of how the guide loop in a working
area can have very varying lengths depending on
where the charging station is placed.
3023-009
2. Tilt the top cover on the charging station forward
and run the guide wire up the channel leading to
the guide connection.
3. Fit a connector to the guide wire in the same
way as for the boundary wire in 3.5 Connecting
the boundary wire on page 27. Connect it to the
contact pin on the charging station that is labelled
G1.
4. Mark the wires with the accompanying cable
markers. This makes it easier to reconnect the
wires correctly when for instance the charging
station has been stored indoors for the winter.
5. Run the guide wire straight under the charging
plate and then at least 2 metres straight out from
the front edge of the plate.
Consider when laying the guide wire that as much
space as possible is provided to the left (as seen
facing the charging station) of the guide wire.
The distance between the boundary loop and
the guide wire must however be always at least
30 cm.

If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep
slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an
angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on
the slope.
Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can
make it difcult for the robotic lawnmower to follow
the guide wire.

wire using for instance a pair of wire cutters.
Connecting the guide wire is made easier if an
eyelet has been made on the boundary wire as
outlined in the previous description. See Eyelet for
connecting the guide wire on page 26.
7. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using
a coupler:
Insert the boundary wire and guide wire in the
coupler. Check that the wires are fully inserted
into the coupler so that the ends are visible
through the transparent area on the other side of
the coupler.
Use a polygrip to completely compress the button
on the coupler.
It does not matter which holes are used to
connect each wire.

3.7 Checking the installation
Check the loop signal by inspecting the indicator lamp on
the charging station.
• Solid green light = good signals.
• Flashing green light = the loop system is turned off
and the robotic lawnmower is in ECO mode. See 6.8
Settings on page 59.
• Flashing blue light = interruption in the boundary loop,
no signal.
• Flashing red light = interruption in the charging
station’s antenna plate. The fault should be rectied
by an authorized dealer.
• Solid blue light = weak signal. This may depend on
the boundary loop being too long or that the wire is
damaged. If the robotic lawnmower still works, this is
not a problem.
3012-1066
• Solid red light = fault in the circuit board in the
charging station. The fault should be rectied by an
authorized dealer.
See 9.3 Indicator lamp in the charging station on page 78 if
the lamp does not indicate a solid or ashing green light.

3.8 First start-up and calibration
Before the robotic lawnmower is operated, a start-up
sequence in the robotic lawnmower’s menu must be
carried out as well as an automatic calibration of the
guide signal.
1. Open the control panel hatch by pressing the
STOP button.
2. Set the main switch to position 1.
A start-up sequence begins when the robotic lawnmower
is started for the rst time. The following is requested:
• PIN code from factory. The code is provided on
a special document received by the retailer at
purchase.
• Language.
• Country.
• Date.
• Time.
• Selection and conrmation of personal PIN code.
All combinations except 0000 are permitted.
Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station and
press START.
The robotic lawnmower will now begin to calibrate the
guide wire. Press START and close the hatch. The
calibration is performed by the robotic lawnmower backing
out of the charging station and running a calibration
process in front of the charging station. When this is
completed, mowing can begin.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use Memo on page 2 to make a note of the
PIN code.
3.9 Test docking with the charging
station
Before using the robotic lawnmower, check that the
robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire all the way
to the charging station and easily docks with the charging
station.
The test function is found in the robotic lawnmower’s
Installation > Find charging station > Guide > More > Test
guide menu. For more information, See Test settings on
page 55.
If no guide wire is installed the test must be carried out on
the boundary wire, both clockwise and anti-clockwise.
The guide system must rst be calibrated if the above test
is to provide a satisfactory result. See 3.8 First start-up
and calibration on page 33.

4.2 Using the timer
The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on
page 44) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the
maximum service life from the robotic lawnmower. When
setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower
mows about the number of square meters per hour and
day listed below:
Work capacity
Automower

56 68
For example; If the working area is 800 m2 the robotic
lawnmower must operate for about:
®
315
USE
Automower
®
310 315
Hours per day
15 12
The time is approximate and depends for instance on
grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use the timer to avoid mowing when there
are usually children, pets and anything
else about that could be hurt or damaged
by the rotating blades on the lawn.
The factory setting is that the robotic lawnmower will
operate around the clock seven days a week.
If the size of the working area allows it, the quality of the
grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day
instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass
benets from resting completely during at least a three-
day period once a month.
The maximum capacity is only obtained when the robotic
lawnmower is allowed to mow around the clock seven
days a week.

of the most common fault messages, there are tips and advice to help you rectify the
fault. See 9.1 Fault messages on page 74.
Weather timer
Only applicable for Automower® 315.
This function allows the robotic lawnmower to automatically adjust its mowing times
based on how quick the lawn grows. When the weather is good for grass growth, the
robotic lawnmower mows more often and when grass growth is slower the robotic
lawnmower will automatically spend less time on the lawn.
Installation
This menu is used to steer the robotic lawnmower to remote parts of a working area
and to control how the robotic lawnmower searches for the charging station. For many
working areas the factory settings can be kept, i.e. allow the robotic lawnmower itself
to combine the various search methods and the underlying settings.

6.3 Timer
MENU FUNCTIONS
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 timer function if the working
area is less than the mower’s working capacity. When
the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow too often, the
lawn may appear attened and the robotic lawnmower is
subjected to unnecessary wear.
The timer function is also an ideal tool to control which
periods the robotic lawnmower should not mow, for
example, when the children are playing in the garden.
Maximum performance is obtained when the timer is
turned off and the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow
around the clock seven days a week. The operating
hours and days are graphically displayed on the
robotic lawnmower’s display. Active mowing per day is
illustrated by a black bar. The rest of the time, the robotic
lawnmower is parked in the charging station.
The factory setting is that the timer is inactive and
the robotic lawnmower will operate around the clock
seven days a week. This is normally a suitable setting
for a working area corresponding to the maximum
performance.

The tables below provides suggestions for different timer
settings depending on garden size. The table can be
used to set the operating time. The times should be seen
as indicative, they may need to be adjusted to suit the
garden. Use the table as follows:
• Find a work area that closest matches the garden's
area.
• Select an appropriate amount of work days (for some
work areas 7 days may be needed).
• Work hours per day shows how many hours a day
the robotic lawnmower will be allowed to work for the
selected amount of work days.
• Suggested time interval shows a time interval that
corresponds to the required work hours per day.
It is possible to congure two work periods a day. There
can be unique work periods in each day, but it is also
possible to copy the current day’s work period to all the
other days.

6.6 Weather timer
Not applicable for Automower® 310.
This function allows the robotic lawnmower to
automatically adjust its mowing times based on how quick
the lawn grows. When the weather is good for grass
growth, the robotic lawnmower mows more often and
when grass growth is slower the robotic lawnmower will
automatically spend less time on the lawn.
The robotic lawnmower will however not operate longer
than the time that may be congured in the timer settings.
For optimal weather timer performance, it is recommended
when setting the timer to only de-select the times when the
robotic lawnmower must not operate. Other times should
be made available for the weather timer.
When the weather timer is activated, the robotic
lawnmower needs time to decide what the optimal
mowing time is for the working area in question. For this
reason it can take a number of days before the mowing
results are optimal.

MENU FUNCTIONS
Finding the charging station
The robotic lawnmower can be set to search for the
charging station in one or more of the following three
ways: Guide, Boundary loop and Charging station. The
factory settings are that these three search options are
automatically combined to nd the charging station as
quickly as possible but also with a minimum risk of tracks
forming.
In very complex gardens e.g. with many areas joined by
narrow passages, the amount of time required to nd the
charging station is decreased by carrying out a number
of the manual setting outlined below.
The robotic lawnmower always starts the search for the
charging station using an irregular search method.
When the robotic lawnmower still cannot nd the charging
station after a specic period of irregular searching, it also
starts to search for the guide wires and after a further
period also the boundary wire to follow one of them into
the charging station instead. This time is specied in
minutes and is known as delay time.
3012-1412
Example:
3 minute delay for Guide and 11 minutes for the
boundary loop. The robotic lawnmower then searches
irregularly for 3 minutes and then searches for the
guide wires for 8 minutes. If it has not found a guide
wire after this period, the robotic lawnmower now also
searches for the boundary loop.
It is possible of course to specify the same delay time
for both the guide wires and boundary loop, for instance
5 minutes. The robotic lawnmower then searches
irregularly for 5 minutes and when it does not nd the
charging station, it continues to search either by following
the guide wires or the boundary loop, depending on which
one it reaches rst.
In general a long delay time decreases the risk of tracks
forming (the robotic lawnmower will nd the charging
station more often through irregular searches) but gives
longer search times. A short delay time gives the opposite
effect, i.e. short search times with increased risk of tracks
forming along the guide wires and/or boundary wires.

This function summarises the selected settings for each
search method. To edit the settings for a method, select the

MENU FUNCTIONS
Guide
Use the number keys to enter the delay time.
The delay time is normally specied as a gure between
0 and 10 minutes.
Guide > Disable/Enable
Normally the Guide method does not need to be
deactivated even if there is no guide wire installed. To
disable the Guide method, select Disable and press OK.
Boundary loop
Use the number keys to enter the delay time.
This time is normally longer than for Guide as it is
normally better if the robotic lawnmower follows the guide
wire home to the charging station. The delay time is
normally specied as a gure between 10 and 20 minutes
but can be shorter if the guide wire is not installed and it is
unlikely that the robotic lawnmower can nd the charging
station through an irregular search.
3012-1414
If the robotic lawnmower passes a guide wire while
following the boundary wire, it will stop searching along
the boundary wire and instead start to follow the guide
wire into the charging station.
Boundary > Disable/Enable
If it is strictly inappropriate in the installation to follow the
boundary loop, the Boundary method checkbox has to
be deactivated. To disable the boundary method, select
Disable and press OK.
Charging station range
There may be reasons to reduce the range of the
charging station in rare cases. It may be necessary if for
instance the charging station is placed close to a bush
or wall which prevents the robotic lawnmower from
docking with the charging station despite making contact
with the charging station’s signals. In these cases, it is
normally better to move the charging station, but if this
is not possible, the range of the charging station can be
reduced.
3012-1413
3012-1415
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The charging station’s range must only be
reduced in exceptional cases. It is normally
better to move the charging station to
a better place in the working area.

Test settings
Testing selected settings can be seen as a natural part of
the installation.
To test the selected settings:
1. Place the robotic lawnmower about 3 metres from
the wire to be tested (boundary wire or the guide
wire), facing the wire.
2. Use the right/left arrow key to select the method to
test from the Overview screen.
3. Select More and press OK.
4. Select Test Guide under Guide settings, or Test
right or Test left under boundary settings, and
press OK.
5. Press START and close the display hatch.
Check that the robotic lawnmower follows the
guide wire all the way to the charging station and
that it docks with the charging station. The test
is approved only if the robotic lawnmower is able
to follow the guide wire the entire distance to the
charging station and docks at the rst attempt.
If the robotic lawnmower is unable to dock on
the rst attempt, it will automatically try again.
The installation is not approved if the robotic
lawnmower needs two or more attempts to dock
with the charging station.
Normal causes as to why the robotic lawnmower
cannot follow the wire are that obstacles close
to the wire have not been isolated or that the
guide wire has not been laid at an angle on a
steep slope. Check that the charging station, the
boundary wire and the guide wire are installed in
accordance with the instructions in chapters 3.2,
3.4 and 3.6.
If manual settings are done, the wrong corridor
width may also have been selected.
6. The test is approved when the robotic lawnmower
can follow the selected wire to the charging
station and dock with it on the rst attempt without
any problems.
Using Test, the robotic lawnmower travels the
maximum distance from the wire dened by the
selected corridor width.

MENU FUNCTIONS
Advanced
Under the Advanced heading, there are even more
settings relating to the behaviour of the robotic
lawnmower. The settings in this menu are only required
if additional control of the lawnmower is denitely needed
e.g. in very complex gardens. The factory settings are
selected in a way that should suit most working areas.
Corridor width
The corridor width is a measure of how far from the guide
wire/boundary wire the robotic lawnmower is allowed to
travel when it follows this to and from the charging station.
The area beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower
then uses is called the Corridor.
The aim of operating at varying distances from the wire
is reduce the risk of tracks forming. To reduce the risk
of tracks forming, it is recommended to select the widest
corridor possible allowed by the size of the working area.
The robotic lawnmower itself adjusts the corridor width
according to the size of the working area when following
along a guide wire. The inbuilt automatic mechanism
allows the robotic lawnmower to vary the distance from
the wire depending on where in the working area it is
located. It automatically makes the corridor narrower in
narrow passages for instance.
The factory settings can be used for many working
areas, i.e. the robotic lawnmower itself can use the inbuilt
functions to operate in the widest possible corridor.
In more complex gardens e.g. where the guide wire is
placed close to obstacles which cannot be isolated using
the boundary loop, operational safety can be improved by
carrying out some of the manual settings outlined below.
3012-1416
3023-020
Corridor width > Boundary
Corridor width is specied in intervals from 1-9. The rst
number in the interval species the shortest distance to
the boundary loop and the second number the longest
distance.
The distance the robotic lawnmower maintains from
the boundary loop varies depending on the layout of
the working area. Use the Test function in Installation
> Lawn Coverage > Area X > More > Test to test the
different values.
Use the number keys to specify the required interval.
The factory setting is 3-6.

MENU FUNCTIONS
Corridor width > Guide
The function Automatic passage handling will
automatically adjust the guide corridor width. If Automatic
passage handling is disabled, manual settings need to be
entered. The corridor width can be set between 0 and 9.
If value 0 is specied, the robotic lawnmower will straddle
the guide wire meaning it runs right over the middle of the
guide wire.
Use the arrow keys to specify the required value.
The factory setting is 9.
Exit angles
Normally the robotic lawnmower leaves the charging
station in a direction within the 90°-270° exit sector.
By changing the exit angles, it makes it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to reach the largest working area if the
charging station is placed in a passage.
3012-1424
Exit angles > Sectors
The robotic lawnmower can be set for one or two exit
sectors. If the charging station is placed in a passage,
two exit angles, for instance 70° - 110° and 250° - 290°,
can be used.
When two exit angles are used, there is a need to also
specify how often the robotic lawnmower must leave
the charging station in sector 1. This is done using the
Proportion function by initially specifying a percentage.
For instance the percentage of 75 % means that the
robotic lawnmower leaves the charging station in Sector 1
on 75% of the times and 25% of the times in sector 2.
Use the number keys to specify the required angles in
degrees for the sectors and proportion as a percentage.
Reversing distance
This functions allows you to control how far the robotic
lawnmower has to reverse out from the charging station
before it starts mowing. This is a useful function for
instance if the charging station is placed way in under a
veranda or in another limited space area.
3012-1418
Use the number keys to specify the required reverse
distance in centimetres. The factory setting is 60 cm.

be changed if required. A gure between 25 and 50 can
be selected.
Note that the distance given is only an approximate value
and should be regarded as a guide. In reality, the actual

ECO mode
This function automatically turns off the signal in the
boundary loop, the guide wires and the charging station
when the robotic lawnmower is not mowing, i.e. when the
lawnmower is charging or is not allowed to mow due to
timer settings.
ECO mode is suitable to use where there is other wireless
equipment not compatible with the robotic lawnmower
e.g. certain hearing loops or garage doors.
When the loop signal is turned off due to the ECO mode,
the indicator lamp in the charging station ashes green.
When the indicator lamp ashes green the robotic
lawnmower can only be started in the charging station
and not out in the working area.
In ECO mode, it is very important to always press the
STOP button before removing the robotic lawnmower
from the charging station. In ECO mode it is otherwise not
possible to start the robotic lawnmower. If the lawnmower
has been removed by mistake without rst pressing the
STOP button, the lawnmower must be placed back in the
charging station and the STOP button pressed. Only then
can the robotic lawnmower be started inside the working
area.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always press the STOP button before
removing the robotic lawnmower from the
charging station. In ECO mode the robotic
lawnmower otherwise will not be started
inside the working area.
Select ECO mode and press OK to activate ECO mode.
Spiral cutting
If the robotic lawnmower enters an area where it senses
the grass is longer than average, it can change the
movement pattern. It can then mow in a spiral pattern to
faster cut the area of longer grass.
Spiral cutting
Spiral cutting is activated by default, uncheck the box to
deactivate.
Intensity
The level of intensity can be adjusted to set how much
over the average height the grass has to be for spiral
cutting to begin. Low sensitivity means that spiral cutting
begins less often. High sensitivity means that spiral
cutting begins more often.

MAINTENANCE
8 Maintenance
For better operating reliability and longer service life:
check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary. See 8.4 Cleaning on
page 71 for more details on cleaning.
When the robotic lawnmower is rst 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 working area.
• Type of grass.
• Type of soil.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 2 to 6 weeks when used at maximum
area capacity and longer for smaller areas. See 8.7
Blades on page 73 on how to replace the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more energy is needed resulting in
the robotic lawnmower not mowing such
a large area.
8.1 Winter storage
The robotic lawnmower
The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully before
putting it away for the winter. See 8.4 Cleaning on
page 71.
To guarantee battery functionality and service life, it is
very important to fully charge the robotic lawnmower
before storing it away for the winter. Place the robotic
lawnmower in the charging station with the hatch open
until the battery icon in the display shows that the battery
is fully charged. Then set the main switch to 0.
3012-1305

OM_1157863-26_HQ 310,315,EN_160229.indd 69 2016-02-29 10:52:35
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The battery must be charged fully before
winter storage. If the battery is not fully
charged it can be damaged and in certain
cases be rendered useless.
Check the condition of wear items such as blades and
bearings in the front wheels. Rectify if necessary to make
sure the robotic lawnmower is in good condition prior to
next season.
Store the robotic lawnmower standing on all four wheels
in a dry, frost-free environment. A wall bracket specially
designed for Automower® robotic lawnmowers and
charging stations is available. The wall bracket works
great for winter storage. Contact your dealer for more
information.
The charging station
Store the charging station and power supply indoors.
The boundary loop and the guide wire can be left in the
ground. The ends of the wires should be protected from
damp by connecting them to an original coupler or putting
them in a container with grease for instance.
If it is not possible to store the charging station indoors,
the charging station must be connected to the mains, the
boundary wire and the guide wires the entire winter.
8.2 Winter service
Leave your robotic lawnmower with a dealer for service
prior to winter storage. Regular winter service is a good
way to maintain the robotic lawnmower in good condition
over a long period of time and create the best conditions
for a new season without any disruptions.
Service usually includes the following:
• Thorough cleaning of the body, the chassis, the blade
disc and all other moving parts.
• Testing of the mower’s function and components.
3012-1041
• Checking and if required replacement of wear items
such as blades and bearings.
• Testing the mower’s battery capacity as well as
a recommendation to replace battery if necessary.
If necessary the dealer can also update the robotic
lawnmower with new software, including new features
where applicable.

MAINTENANCE
8.3 After winter storage
Check whether the robotic lawnmower, contact strips or
charging strips need to be cleaned before using. If the
charging or contact strips appear to be burnt or coated,
clean them using ne grade emery cloth. Check that the
mower’s time and date are correct.
8.4 Cleaning
It is important to keep the robotic lawnmower clean.
A robotic lawnmower with a lot of grass stuck to it will
nd it harder to travel up slopes, perform worse and be
exposed to greater wear and tear. It is recommended to
clean using a soft brush.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never use a high-pressure washer or even
running water to clean the robotic lawnmower. Never use solvents for cleaning.
Chassis and blade disc
1. Set the main switch to position 0.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3012-271
3012-1301
3012-272
3. Lift the robotic lawnmower onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and chassis using e.g. a dish
brush.
Check at the same time that the skid plate rotates freely
in relation to the blade disc.
If long blades of grass or other objects nd their way in,
these may impede the blade disc. Even a slight braking
effect leads to a higher consumption of energy and
3012-1337
longer mowing times, and at worst will prevent the robotic
lawnmower from being able to mow a large lawn. The
blade disc must be removed to carry out a more thorough
cleaning. If necessary, contact your dealer.

MAINTENANCE
Chassis
Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with
a damp cloth.
Wheels
Clean around the front wheel and rear wheels as well as
the front wheel bracket.
Body
Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body. If
the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap
solution or washing-up liquid.
Charging station
Clean the charging station regularly from grass, leaves,
twigs and other objects that may impede docking.
3012-1338
8.5 Transport and moving
Secure the machine during transport. It is important that
the robotic lawnmower does not move when it is being
transported, for instance, between lawns.
The contained lithium-ion-batteries are subject to the
Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
For commercial transports e.g. by third parties,
forwarding agents, special requirement on packaging and
labeling must be observed.
For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an
expert for hazardous material is required. Please also
observe possibly more detailed national regulations.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery
in such a manner that it cannot move around in the
packaging.
8.6 In the event of a thunderstorm
To reduce the risk of damage to electrical components
in the robotic lawnmower and its charging station, we
recommend that all connections to the charging station
are disconnected (power supply, boundary wire and guide
wires) if there is a risk of a thunderstorm.
3012-1339

MAINTENANCE
8.7 Blades
WARNING
Always use original blades and
screws when replacing. Only
replacing the blades and reusing
the screw can result in a screw
wearing during mowing and
shearing. The blades can then be
propelled from under the body and
cause serious injury.
There are three blades on the robotic lawnmower, which
are screwed into the blade disc. All three blades and
screws must be replaced at the same time to obtain
a balanced cutting system.
Use Husqvarna genuine blades only.
To replace the blades:
1. Set the main switch to position 0.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Turn the robotic lawnmower upside down.
4. Rotate the skid plate so that its holes align with
the screw for the blade.
5. Remove three screws. Use a straight slot or
cross-tip screwdriver.
6. Remove the blade and the screw.
7. Screw on the new blade and the new screw.
Check that the blades can pivot freely.
8.8 Battery
The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited service
life of 2 to 4 years.
Battery service life is dependent on the length of
the season and how many hours a day the robotic
lawnmower is used. A long season or many hours of use
per day means that the battery must be replaced more
regularly.
3012-1301
3012-272
3012-1207
Contact your dealer to replace the battery.
Only charge the battery in the included charging station.
Incorrect use may result in electric shock, overheating or
leaking of corrosive liquid from the battery. In the event of
leakage of electrolyte ush with water/neutralizing agent,
seek medical help if it comes in contact with the eyes.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries.

9.5 Finding 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 be due to the wire being
stretched excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can
damage wire insulation. Certain damage to the insulation
may not cause disruptions until several weeks or months
later.
A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to
disruptions rst 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 rst check all
known splices before further troubleshooting is done.

1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging
station ashes blue, which indicates a break in
the boundary loop. See 9.3 Indicator lamp in the
charging station on page 78.
3012-1066
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 ashing blue.
3. Switch the connections between the guide wire
and the boundary wire in the charging station.
a) Switch connection AL and G1.
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).

TROUBLESHOOTING
b) Put AL and G1 back in their original positions.
Then switch AR and G1.
If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green light,
then the break is somewhere on the boundary
wire between AR and the point where the guide
wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black
line in the illustration).
4. a) Assume that the indicator lamp is lit with a solid
green light in test 3a) above. Reset all connections
to their original positions. Then disconnect AR.
Connect a new loop wire to AR. Connect the other
end of this new loop wire somewhere at the centre
of the installation.
If the indicator lamp 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 in the illustration).

TROUBLESHOOTING
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 ashing
blue light and a solid green light.
b) If the indicator lamp is solid green in test 3b)
above, a similar test is carried out but with the new
loop wire connected to AL instead.

5. When the break is found, the damaged section
must be replaced with a new wire. The damaged
section can be cut out if it is possible to shorten the
boundary wire. Always use original couplers.
