ADJUSTING THE ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER 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 robotic lawnmower cuts too often: The lawn will look
trampled.
If the robotic lawnmower cuts too seldom: The lawn will not
be properly mown.

ADJUSTING THE ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER FOR
NARROW PASSAGES
Narrow passages in the garden make it difcult for the
robotic lawnmower to nd the charging station. Use the
Test OUT function to test if the robotic lawnmower is able
to pass through the narrowest passages.
1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
2. Select Test OUT (Installation - Test OUT ) in the robotic
lawnmower’s menu and press OK. Then press the Start
button and close the cover.
3. Check that the robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire
through the passage.
a. If the robotic lawnmower gets through the passage:
The test is complete!
b. If the robotic lawnmower does not get through the
passage: Change the Guide width from Wide to
Medium. If required, the guide width can also be
changed from Medium to Narrow.

See chapters 6.3 and 6.4 in the Operator’s Manual.
Here you will nd some tips on important settings for your robotic lawnmower.
All settings for your robotic lawnmower are made via the menu functions.
You decide what times during the day the robotic lawnmower
is to work. The robotic lawnmower mows about 45 m² per
hour and day (approx. 30 m² for the Automower® 305). For
example; if your garden consists of 360 m² of grass, the robotic
lawnmower should work on average 8 hours per day (12 hours
for the Automower® 305).

GETTING STARTED WITH
HUSQVARNA’S ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER
1. Open the connectors and lay the wire ends in the recesses
on each connector.
2. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1 to 2 cm above
the connectors.
4. Press the connectors onto the contact pins, marked A, on
the charging station. It is important that the right-hand
wire is connected to the right-hand contact pin, and the
left-hand wire to the left-hand pin.
1. Run the guide wire through the slot at the bottom of the
charging station.
2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for
the boundary wire, according to the instructions above.
3. Fasten the connector to the contact pin marked Guide on
the charging station.
4. Lay the guide wire at least 2 metres straight out from the
front edge of the charging station.
5. Run the guide wire to the point on the boundary loop
the connection will be made. Avoid laying the wire at
tight angles.
6. Cut the boundary wire with a wire cutters at the centre of
the eyelet that was made in step 2.3.
7. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using the
accompanying couplers. Press the couplers completely
together with a pair of pliers.

1. Place the charging station at a central position in the
working area, with a lot of open space in front of the
charging station and on a relatively horizontal surface.
2. Connect the transformer’s low voltage cable to the
charging station and the transformer.
3. Connect the transformer to a 230 V wall socket.
1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging
station to charge the battery while the boundary
wire is laid. Set the main switch to position 1.
2. Lay the boundary wire so that it forms a loop
around the working area.
3. Make an eyelet at the point where the guide wire
will later be connected. See step 4.5.
