.
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 with the keys
on the keypad. The display 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 follows the guide wire to the charging
station. The guide wire is laid from the charging station
towards, for instance, a remote part of the work area or
through a narrow passage. The guide wire is connected
with the boundary wire and makes it much easier and
faster for the product to find the charging station.

3.1 Introduction - Installation
WARNING: Read and understand the
safety chapter before you install the product.
CAUTION: Use original spare parts and
installation material.
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 follow the guide wire
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 power outlet.
• 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 19 .
• Fill in holes in the lawn.
• Cut the grass before you install the product. Make
sure that the grass is maximum 4 cm / 1.6 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.
CAUTION: If you use a dethatcher in
the work area, bury the boundary wire and
the guide wire to prevent them from
damage.
3.4.1 To examine where to put the charging
station
• Keep a minimum 3 m / 9.8 ft. of free space in front
of the charging station. Refer to
To examine where
to put the guide wire on page 17 .
• Keep a minimum of 1.5 m / 4.9 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.
• The baseplate of the charging station must not be
bent.
Max 3 cm / 1.2 "
• Put the charging station in the lower section of the
work area.
1285 - 006 - 17.03.2021 Installation - 13

• Put the charging station in an area without an
irrigation system.
• 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 16 .
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.
WARNING: The power supply cable
and extension cable must be outside the
work area to avoid damage to the cables.
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) with a tripping
current of maximum 30 mA 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: There must be a barrier of
minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height between the
boundary wire and water bodies, slopes,
precipices or public roads. This will prevent
damage to the product.
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. All parts of the work area must
be maximum 15 m / 50 ft. from the boundary wire.
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.
Note: Make a blueprint of the work area before you
install the boundary wire and guide wire.

• If you have a paving stone path that is in level with
the lawn, put the boundary wire below the paving
stone.
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
function on page 23 .
• 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 16 .
• 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 25% 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 25% 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.
1285 - 006 - 17.03.2021 Installation - 15

A
>15%
• For slopes adjacent to a public road, put a barrier
of minimum 15 cm / 6 in. along the outer edge of
the slope. You can use a wall or a fence as a
barrier.
3.4.3.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on each
side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The
distance between the boundary wire on each side in the
passage must be a minimum of 60 cm / 24 in.
Note: If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
The recommended minimum distance between the
guide wire and the boundary wire is 30 cm / 12 in. The
product always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen
facing the charging station. It is recommended to have
as much free area as possible to the left of the guide
wire (A).

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.
CAUTION: Isolate or remove obstacles
that are less than 15 cm / 5.9 in. in height.
Isolate or remove obstacles that slope
slightly, for example, stones, trees or roots.
This will prevent damage to the blades of
the product.
To make an island, isolate areas in the work area with
the boundary wire. We recommend to isolate all stable
objects in the work area.
Some obstacles are resistant to a collision, for example,
trees or bushes that are more than 15 cm / 5.9 in. in
height. The product will collide with the obstacle and
then select a new direction.
• Put the boundary wire to and around the obstacle
to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire to and from the
island close together. This will make the product
run across the wire.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the same
stake.
