ADJUST THE MOWER TO SUIT THE SIZE OF YOUR LAWN
The mowing results depend on mowing time. Adjust the
mowing time to suit your garden using the Timer function.
If the mower works too often: The lawn will appear trampled
down.
If the mower works too seldom: The lawn will not be properly
cut.

ADJUST THE MOWER FOR NARROW PASSAGES
Narrow passages in the garden make it difcult for the
mower to nd the charging station. Test to see if the mower
nds its way home using the Test IN function.
1. Look for the narrowest passage in the garden (between the
boundary loops).
2. Place the mower beyond the passage, with its front facing
the boundary loop.
3. Activate the Test IN function (Garden - Follow loop - Test IN) and
start the mower.
4. Ensure that the mower follows the boundary loop through
the passage.
a. If the mover travels through: The test is complete.
a. If the mover does not travel through: Lower the value of
the Corridor width, boundary by 1 unit. Restart the test
from point 2.
GUIDE WIRE
See chapter 3.8 Installation of the guide wire in the
Operator’s Manual.
If you have a complicated garden or it has narrow passages
(less than 2 m / 7 ft), we recommend installing a guide wire.
The guide wire is an extra wire that is run from the charging
station, out towards a remote part of the work area or through
a narrow passage. The mower can follow the guide wire to and
from the charging station.

Here you will nd a few tips about important settings for your Automower.
All settings for Automower are made using the menu functions.
You decide what times of the day and days of the week the mower is to work.
Automower cuts around 90 m² / 950 ft² per hour and day. If your garden consists
of 1000 m² / 0.25 acre grass, the mower should work on average 12 hours per
day.

CORRIDOR WIDTH, BOUNDARY
SettingsCorridor width, boundary (Garden– Follow loop – Corridor width – Corridor
width, bound.) denes the distance between the mower’s path to the boundary
wire or the guide wire when following these to/from the charging station.
The higher the stated Corridor width, the further from the loop the mover can
travel. This produces less wheel tracks than if the mover were to travel close to
the loop.

2. Open the connector and run the wire ends in the recesses
on each connector.
3. Press the connector together using a pair of pliers.
4. Cut off any surplus boundary wire.
Cut 1-2 cm / 0.5” above the connector.
5. Press the connector onto the contact pin,
marked A, on the charging station.

1. Place the charging station centrally in the work area,
leaving a lot of free space in front of the charging station
and on a relatively horizontal surface.
2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station and
transformer.
3. Connect the transformer’s power cord to a mains wall
socket. The 120V transformer (USA) is for indoor use only.
1. Place Automower in the charging station to charge
the battery while you are laying the boundary wire.
Set the main switch to
the OFF position.
2. Run the boundary wire ensuring it
forms a loop around the work area.
STARTING
1. Open the solar cell panel using the cut-out on the back
edge of the panel to access the control panel.
2. Set the main switch to ON position. When you do this for
the rst time, a start up sequence starts where you select a
four digit PIN code among other things. The mower must
be in the charging station when you select a PIN code.
3. Close the solar cell panel and check that the STOP button
is in the operating mode.
STOPPING
Press the STOP button.
