1.2 Product description
Note: Husqvarna regularly updates the
appearance and function of the products. Refer
to
Support on page 3 .
The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product
has a battery power source and cuts the grass
automatically. It continuously alternates between
mowing and charging. The movement pattern is
random, which means that the lawn is mowed
evenly and with less wear. The boundary wire
and the guide wire controls the movement of the
product within the work area. Sensors in the
product senses when it is approaching the
boundary wire. The front of the product always
passes the boundary wire by a specific distance
before the product turns around. When the
product hits an obstacle or approaches the
boundary wire the product selects a new
direction.
The operator selects the operation settings in the
Automower® Connect app. The app shows the
selected and possible operation settings, and the
operation mode of the product.
1.2.1 Mowing technique
The product is emission free, easy to use and
saves energy. The frequent cutting technique
improves the grass quality and decreases the
use of fertilizers. Collection of grass is not
necessary.
1.2.2 Find the charging station
The product operates until the battery state of
charge is low, then it starts to go to the charging
station. The product has 3 search methods to find
the charging station. Refer to
To find the charging
station on page 27 .
1.2.3 Automower® Connect
Automower® Connect is a mobile application that

Note: Refer to www.husqvarna.com for more
information about installation.
3.2 Main components for installation
The installation involves the following
components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the
boundary wire.
• To send control signals along the guide
wire so that the product can be send to
specific remote areas in the garden and
can find its way back to the charging
station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V wall
socket.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work
area and around objects and plants that the
product must not run into. The loop wire is
used both as boundary wire and guide wire.
3.3 General preparations
CAUTION: Holes with water in the
lawn can cause damage to the
product.
Note: Read through the Installation chapter
before beginning the installation. How the
installation is done affects how the product
performs. It is therefore important to plan the
installation carefully.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and
include all obstacles. This makes it easier to
see the ideal positions for the charging
station, the boundary wire and the guide
wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put
the charging station, the boundary wire and
the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the
guide wire connects to the boundary wire.
Refer to
To install the guide wire on page
22 .
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
• Cut the grass before you install the product.
Make sure that the grass is maximum 10
cm / 4 in.
Note: The first weeks after installation the
perceived sound level when cutting the grass
may be higher than expected. When the product
has cut the grass for some time, the perceived
sound level is much lower.
3.4 Before the installation of the wires
You can select to attach the wires with stakes or
bury them. You can use the 2 procedures for the
same work area.
• Bury the boundary wire or the guide wire if
you are going to use a dethatcher on the
work area. If not, attach the boundary wire
or guide wire with stakes.
3.4.1 To examine where to put the charging
station
• Keep a minimum 2 m / 7 ft. of free space in
front of the charging station. Refer to
To
examine where to put the guide wire on
page 19 .
• Keep a minimum of 1.5 m / 5 ft. of free
space to the right and left of the center of
the charging station.
• Put the charging station near a power outlet.
• Put the charging station on a level surface.
1439 - 002 - Installation - 15

max. 5 cm / 2"
• Put the charging station in the lower section
of the work area.
• Put the charging station in an area with
protection from the sun.
• If the charging station is installed on an
island, make sure to connect the guide wire
to the island. Refer to
To make an island on
page 18 .
3.4.2 To examine where to put the power
supply
WARNING: Do not cut or extend the
low-voltage cable. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
CAUTION: Make sure that the blades
on the product do not cut the low-
voltage cable.
CAUTION: Do not put the low-voltage
cable in a coil or below the charging
station plate. The coil causes
interference with the signal from the
charging station.
• Put the power supply in an area with a roof
and protection from the sun and rain.
• Put the power supply in an area with good
airflow.
• Use a residual-current device (RCD) when
you connect the power supply to the power
outlet.
Low-voltage cables of different lengths are
available as accessories.
3.4.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION: If the work area is adjacent
to water bodies, slopes, precipices or a
public road, the boundary wire must
have a protective wall. The wall must
be minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends
when you install the boundary wire.
CAUTION: For careful operation
without noise, isolate all obstacles
such as trees, roots and stones.
The boundary wire should be put as a loop
around the work area. Sensors in the product
senses when the product approaches the
boundary wire, and the product selects another
direction.
To make the connection easier between the
guide wire and the boundary wire, it is
recommended to make an eyelet where the guide
wire will be connected. Make the eyelet with
approximately 20 cm / 8 in. of the boundary wire.

• If you have a paving stone path that is in
level with the lawn, put the boundary wire
below the paving stone.
Note: The product has terrain wheels to
operate better in slopes. The terrain wheels
can cause vibration in the product when
operating on hard surfaces such as paving
stone. Change the position of the boundary
wire to not include the area with hard
surface from the work area. If it is not
possible, change to standard wheels on the
product.
1439 - 002 - Installation - 17

Note: If the paving stone is minimum 30 cm /
12 in. wide, use the factory setting for the
Drive Past Wire function to cut all the grass
adjacent to the paving stone. Refer to
To set
the Drive past wire on page 30 .
• If you make an island, put the boundary wire
that runs to and from the island near
together (E). Put the wires in the same
stake. Refer to
To make an island on page
18 .
• Make an eyelet (F) where the guide wire is
to be connected to the boundary wire.
3.4.3.1 To put the boundary wire in a slope
The product can operate in 45 slopes. Slopes
that are too steep must be isolated with the
boundary wire. The gradient (%) is calculated as
height per m. Example: 10 cm / 100 cm = 10%.
10 cm/4"
100 cm/40"
10%
• For slopes steeper than 45 inside the work
area, isolate the slope with boundary wire.
• For slopes steeper than 15% along the outer
edge of the lawn, put the boundary wire 20
cm / 8 in. (A) from the edge.

3.4.3.3 To make an island
CAUTION: Do not put a section of
boundary wire across the other. The
sections of boundary wire must be
parallel.
CAUTION: Do not put the guide wire
across the boundary wire, for example
a boundary wire that goes to an island.
Some obstacles can withstand a collision, for
example, trees or bushes taller than 15 cm / 5.9
in. The product will collide and then turn around
18 - Installation 1439 - 002 -

with this type of obstacle. However, obstacles
that slope slightly, for example stones or large
trees with raised roots, must be isolated or
removed. The product can run onto this kind of
obstacle causing the blades to be damaged. Use
the boundary wire to isolate areas inside the work
area by creating islands. When the boundary
wires to and from the island are put close
together, the product can run over the wire.
Note: To achieve careful and silent operation, it is
recommended to isolate all fixed objects in the
work area.
• Put the boundary wire to and around the
obstacle to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire that run
to and from the obstacle close together
without crossing.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the
same stake.
