PRESENTATION
Presentation
Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally
high quality product.
To get the best from your Auto Mower requires knowl-
edge of its function. This chapter contains information
you should be aware of when planning the installation.
Installation of the Husqvarna Auto Mower includes four
main components:
Auto Mower
, an automatic lawn mower that mows the
lawn by moving in essentially an irregular pattern. The
mower is powered by a maintenance free battery
Charging station
, where your Auto Mower 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.
• To send out signals so the Auto Mower finds the
charging station.
• To charge the Auto Mower battery.
Transformer
, which is connected between the charg-
ing station and a 230 V wall socket. The transformer is
connected to the wall socket via an integrated power
cord and to the charging station via a 20 m long low
voltage cable. The length of the low voltage cable must
not be changed.
Boundary wire
, laid in a loop around the Auto Mower’s
working area. The wire is laid around the edges of the
lawn and around objects and plants that the mower
must not run into.
The length of boundary wire needed in an installation
is the circumference of the working area plus a few
extra metres to lay around ”islands”, objects and
plants. A few extra metres are also required for any
subsequent adjustments. The boundary wire supplied
for the installation is 250 m long. If this is not sufficient
more wire can be purchased, with a connector, and
spliced onto the existing wire.

PRESENTATION
Function Auto Mower
Working method
The Auto Mower automatically mows the lawn. It con-
tinuously combines mowing and charging.
When the Auto Mower works on a lawn, it simulta-
neously stores information about how the garden is
shaped.
The charging station sends out a signal that the Auto
Mower can sense at a distance of 6 - 8 metres. The
mower starts to seek out the charging station when the
capacity of the battery becomes too low. The Auto
Mower does not mow when it is searching for the
charging station.
When the battery is charged the mower reverses, turns
around and leaves the charging station in a randomly
selected direction within the exit sector 90°-270°. Both
the reversing length and exit direction can be set, see
”3. Installation” on page 32.
When the Auto Mower body hits an obstacle, the
mower reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, front and back on the Auto Mower, sense
when the mower approaches the boundary wire. The
Auto Mower overruns the wire by up to 27 centimetres
before it turns. The overrun length can be set, see
”Drive past wire (3-2)” on page 34.

PRESENTATION
The STOP button on the top of Auto Mower 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.
The control panel on the top of the Auto Mower is
where you manage all the mower settings. The main
switch is also located on the control panel. Open the
control panel cover by pressing down the STOP button.
When the main switch is turned ON for the first time, a
start-up sequence begins which includes: selection of
the language, time format, date format and the four
digit PIN code as well as the setting of the time and
date, see page 25.
The Auto Mower can enter a sleep mode to save
power. The display on the control panel is then com-
pletely dimmed.
The sleep mode is activated 25 minutes after the
STOP button has been pressed and then not reset to
the operating mode. Auto Mower 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. The Auto Mower is then
activated by pressing the STOP button.

PRESENTATION
Movement pattern
The mower’s movement pattern is irregular and is
determined by the Auto Mower itself. A movement pat-
tern is never repeated. This mowing system means the
lawn is mown equally without any mowing lines.
If the Auto Mower enters an area where it senses the
grass is longer than earlier, it can change the move-
ment pattern. It can then mow in a square pattern to
cover the area of longer grass more systematically.
Thereafter the mower returns to the irregular move-
ment pattern.
Capacity
The Auto Mower is recommended for lawns up to
1800 m
2
.
Auto Mower mows about 75 m
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.
The shape of the garden is also significant. If the gar-
den mainly consists of open lawns, the Auto Mower
can mow more per hour than if the garden consists of
several small lawns separated by many trees, flower
beds and passages.
How long the Auto Mower mows respective charges
can vary depending on, among others, the ambient
temperature. Up to about 25°C a fully charged Auto
Mower mows for approximately 60 - 90 minutes,
depending on the age of the battery and the thickness
of the grass. The mower then charges for about 60
minutes. Above 25°C both the mowing and charging
times gradually drop.

B. Planning the installation
Charging station
First and foremost the charging station should be posi-
tioned:
• Centrally in the main area, along the outer edge
and with a large free area in front of the station.
• In the shadow. The battery is spared if it charged in
the low possible ambient temperature.
• On relatively level ground. The height difference
must not differ more than 10 cm between the front
and rear of the charging station.
• Close to a wall socket:
The charging station should be connected to a
230 V wall socket via the low voltage cable and
transformer.
The supplied low voltage cable is 20 metres long.
The transformer must be placed where it is well
ventilated and is not exposed to direct sunlight. It is
also beneficial if the transformer can be placed
under a roof.
It is recommended to use an earth fault-breaker
when connecting the transformer to the wall socket.

INSTALLATION
Plan the position of the charging station according to
the shape of your garden.
The Auto Mower can be set for one of three basic gar-
den shapes (see page 34).
The Auto Mower works differently depending on the
garden shape the mower has been set to.
The available garden shapes are: open, complex 1 and
complex 2.
The following pictures are examples of the different
garden shapes. The pictures are also good examples
of appropriate charging station placement.
• The open shape represents a lawn area with few
obstacles and no passages.
• Complex 1 is a large lawn area with an average
amount of obstacles and passages.

• Complex 2 is a large lawn area with many obstacles
and passages.
Do not put the charging station in a corner or pocket in
the working area.
If the garden consists of two large lawns joined by a
passage, it may be difficult for the Auto Mower to find
the entrance to the passage. Making it difficult to work
efficiently in both areas. One way to make the mower
effectively reach both areas is to position the charging
station in the middle of the passage.
When the charging station needs to be placed in a
passage, is it appropriate to manually set the exit
direction, see ”Charge exit settings (3-1)” on page 32.
This will ensure both areas are mown equally and the
grass close to the charging station will not appear
down trodden.

INSTALLATION
Boundary wire
For a successful installation the placement of the
boundary wire should be planned carefully. Planning is
simplified if you make a sketch of the working area,
including all obstacles. Draw how the boundary wire
should be routed on the sketch.
The boundary wire should be laid so it:
• Forms a loop around the working area for the Auto
Mower. Only Husqvarna boundary wire ought to be
used. This is tinned and has a high quality insulation
to withstand the dampness in the ground.
• Is a maximum of 500 metres long.
• Maintains a maximum distance of 35 metres from
Auto Mower in the entire working area.
• Does not lie on a sharp incline. The Auto Mower
may find it difficult to reverse back, especially in
damp weather conditions, when there is a large risk
of skidding.
Include the possibility in the planning that adjustments
may need to be made to the loop. In doing so remem-
ber:
• Leave a few extra metres of wire at the beginning
and end, close to the charging station.
• Place a few extra metres of wire about every 30
metres around the entire loop.
All extra wire should be laid in tight, parallel loops If
staples are used, the parallel loops should be
placed under the same staple.
3012-138
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Extra wire must not be placed in coils outside
the boundary wire. This can disrupt the Auto
Mower.
3012-281
English-
19
INSTALLATION
Remember the following with regard to the working
area boundaries:
• If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, bor-
ders the working area, the boundary wire should be
laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the
Auto Mower from colliding with the obstacle and
reduce body wear.
• If the working area borders against, for example,
pools of water the boundary wire should be supple-
mented with a fence or the like. The height must
then be at least 10 cm. This will prevent the Auto
Mower, under any circumstances, coming outside
of the working area.
• If the working area borders against a small ditch, for
example, a flower bed or a small elevation, e.g. a
low verge (3-5 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
verge.
• If the working area borders against a flat path or the
like that lies level with the lawn, is it possible to
allow the Auto Mower to run a little over the path.
The boundary wire should then be laid 10 cm from
the edge of the path.

INSTALLATION
Remeber the following with regard to the working area
boundaries:
• The Auto Mower can mow areas with a gradient of
up to 1: 3 (33 cm/m) inside the working area. Areas
that slope more must be demarcated by the bound-
ary wire. If any part of the working area’s outer edge
has a gradient of 1: 5 (20 cm/m) or more, the wire
should be laid inside where the slope starts. The
Auto Mower may find it difficult to turn at the loop
where the ground slopes heavily.
• Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside
the working area, for example, flower beds and
fountains. Lay the cable up to the area, around it
and then return along the same route. If staples are
used, the cable should be laid under the same sta-
ple on the return route.
• Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for exam-
ple, trees or bushes higher than 10 cm, do not need
to be demarcated by the boundary wire. The Auto
Mower will turn when it collides with this type of
obstacle.
However, for the most gentle and silent operation, it
is preferable to demarcatee all fixed objects in and
around the working area.
• Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or
large trees with raised roots, should be demarcated
or removed. The Auto Mower can slide up onto this
kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged.
Remember the following with regard to secondary
areas and passages:
• If there are secondary areas close to the main area
the boundary wire should be laid so that these
areas form an ”island” outside of the main area.
Secondary areas are working areas without the
charging station, but which are encircled by the
same boundary wire as the main area. The Auto
Mower must be moved manually between the main
and secondary areas.
If the garden consists of two areas where one area
is much smaller than the other and the areas are
only connected by a very long narrow passage, it
may be suitable to create a secondary area.

English-21
INSTALLATION
• In order for the loop system to work well, the wires
in passages where the Auto Mower is to run
through must not lie too close together.
A passage should be at least 2 metres wide so the
Auto Mower can find it and make its way through it.
The minimum spacing between the wires in a pas-
sage is 130 cm.
The transition between a large area and a passage
should be, if possible, designed like a ”funnel”, with
rounded corners, to make it easier for the Auto Mower
to enter the passage.
C. Placing the charging station
1. Place the charging station according to your plan.
2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging sta-
tion.
Only Husqvarna original cable and transformer
may be used.
3. Connect the low voltage cable to the transformer.
The connectors may be a slightly difficult to con-
nect, as they are moisture-proof.
4. Connect the transformer’s power cord to a 230V
wall socket. It is preferable to use an earth-fault
breaker as recommended.
