instructions before using the robotic lawnmower.
• It is not permitted to modify the original design of the
robotic lawnmower. All modications are made at your
own risk.
• Check that there are no stones, branches, tools,
toys or other objects on the lawn that can damage
the blades. Objects on the lawn can also lead to the
robotic lawnmower getting stuck in them and help may
be required to remove the object before the mower
can continue mowing.
• Start the robotic lawnmower according to the
instructions. When the main switch is in position 1,
make sure you keep your hands and feet away from

INTRODUCTION AND SECURITY
Maintenance
WARNING
When the robotic lawnmower
is turned upside down the main
switch must always be in the 0
position.
The main switch should be set
in the 0 position during all work
on the mower’s chassis, such as
cleaning or replacing the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never use a high-pressure washer or even
running water to clean the robotic lawn-
mower. Never use solvents for cleaning.
Inspect the robotic lawnmower each week and replace
any damaged or worn parts. The following must be carried
out in the weekly inspections:
• Clean the charging station from grass, leaves,
twigs and other objects that may impede the robotic
lawnmower from docking with the charging station.
• Set the main switch to position 0 and put on a pair of
protective gloves. Turn the robotic lawnmower upside
down. Check the following:
1. Clean the drive wheels. Grass in the drive wheels
can impact on how the lawnmower works on
slopes.
2. Clean the front wheels. Grass on the front wheels
and the front wheel axles can affect performance.
3. Clean the body, chassis and cutting system.
Grass, leaves and other objects that weigh down
the product affect performance.
4. Check that all mower blades are intact. Check
also that the blades can pivot freely. Even if the
mower blades are intact, they must be replaced
on a regular basis for the best mowing result and
low energy usage. Replace all blades and screws
at the same time if necessary to keep the rotating
parts balanced see 8.7 Blades on page 78.

PRESENTATION
2 Presentation
This chapter contains information that is important to be
aware of when planning the installation.
Installing a Husqvarna robotic lawnmower involves four
main components:
• A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by
essentially operating in a random pattern. The robotic
lawnmower is powered by a maintenance-free battery.
• A charging station, to where the robotic lawnmower
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 control signals along the guide wires.
• To charge the battery in the robotic lawnmower.
• The power supply, which is connected between the
charging station and a 100V-230V wall socket. The
power supply is connected to the wall socket and to
the charging station using a 10 m long low voltage
cable. The low voltage cable must not be shortened
or extended.
A longer low voltage cable is available as optional
accessory. Contact your local dealer for more
information.
• A search wire, laid in a loop around the robotic
lawnmower’s working area. The loop wire is laid
around the edges of the lawn and around objects and
plants that the robotic lawnmower must not run into.
The loop wire is also used as the guide wire.
The maximum permitted length for the boundary loop
is 800 m.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Search wires, pegs, couplers and connec-
tors are available in a separate installation
kit.
Always use original spare parts

Capacity
The robotic lawnmower is recommended for lawn areas
up to:
420 430X 450X
Grass area, m
2
2200 3200 5000
The size of the area which the robotic lawnmower can
keep cut depends primarily on the condition of the blades
and the type, growth and moisture of the grass. The
shape of the yard is also signicant. If the yard mainly
consists of open lawn areas, the robotic lawnmower
can mow more per hour than if the yard consists of
several small lawns separated by trees, ower beds and
passages.
The cutting time of the robotic lawnmower depends on
the age of the battery and the thickness of the grass.
The charging time can vary depending on, among other
factors, the ambient temperature.

PRESENTATION
Cutting Technique
The cutting system in the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower
is based on an efcient and energy saving principle.
Unlike many standard lawnmowers, the robotic
lawnmower cuts the grass instead of scything it off.
We recommend you allow the robotic lawnmower to
mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible
result. Husqvarna's robotic lawnmowers can also mow in
the rain, however, wet grass easily sticks on the robotic
lawnmower and there is a greater risk of slipping on steep
slopes.
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best
mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp for as
long as possible it is important to keep the lawn free from
branches, small stones and other objects.
Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing result.
It is very easy to replace the blades. Refer to 8.7 Blades
page 78.
Working Method
The robotic lawnmower automatically mows the lawn. It
continuously alternates between mowing and charging.
The robotic lawnmower starts to search for the charging
station when the battery charge becomes too low. The
robotic lawnmower does not mow when it is searching for
the charging station.
While searching for the charging station, the robot
lawnmower can nd it in a number of different ways, see
Finding the Charging Station on page 14.
Once the battery is fully charged, the robot lawnmower
will leave the charging station and start to mow an area
of lawn where it has not recently been. This area will
be determined by the GPS receiver. This functionality
applies to Automower
®
430X and Automower
®
450X.
Manual exit settings may be needed on the Automower
®
420 in order to ensure the lawn is evenly mown, see 6.8
Installation on page 51.
When the robotic lawnmower body hits an obstacle, the
robotic lawnmower reverses and selects a new direction.
Sensors at the front and back will sense when the robotic
lawnmower is approaching the boundary wire. The
robotic lawnmower travels up to 32 centimeters beyond
the wire before it turns around.

PRESENTATION
The STOP button on top of the robotic lawnmower is
mainly used to stop the mower when it is running. When
the STOP button is pressed a hatch opens, behind
which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains
depressed until the cover is closed again. This, together
with the START button acts as a start inhibitor.
The control panel on the top of the robotic lawnmower is
where you manage all the robotic lawnmower settings.
When the main switch is set to position 1 for the rst time,
a start-up sequence begins which includes a number
of important basic settings, see 3.8 First Start-up and
Calibration on page 32.
Movement Pattern
The movement pattern of the robotic lawnmower is
irregular and is determined by the robotic lawnmower
itself depending on the appearance of the lawn. The
mower does not always mow in straight lines and one
movement pattern is never repeated either. With this
cutting system the lawn is mown without any mowing
lines after the robotic lawnmower.
If the robotic lawnmower enters an area where it senses
the grass is longer than average, it can change the
movement pattern. It can then mow in a spiral pattern to
faster cut the area of longer grass. This is known as spiral
cutting.
Finding the Charging Station
The robotic lawnmower can be set to search for the
charging station in one or more of three different ways.
The robotic lawnmower automatically combines these
three search methods to locate the charging station as
fast as possible but also to avoid as many tracks forming
as possible.
Using the manual settings options, the three search
methods can be combined to optimize the search for the
charging station for the shape of the yard in question, see
Installation on page 16.
Search method 1: Irregular
The robotic lawnmower operates irregularly until it gets
close to the charging station.
The benet with this search method is that there is no risk
of tracks on the lawn from the robotic lawnmower. The
disadvantage is that search times can be somewhat long.

3012-486
English - 15
PRESENTATION
Search method 2: Follow guide wire
The robotic lawnmower runs irregularly until it reaches the
guide wire. Then the robotic lawnmower follows the guide
wire to the charging station.
The guide wire is an extra wire that is laid from the
charging station towards a remote part of the working
area or through a narrow passage to be then connected
with the boundary wire, see 3.6 Installation of Guide Wire
on page 28.
Automower ® 450X can have up to three guide wires and
Automower® 430X up to two guide wires.
Automower® 420 has only one guide wire.
This search method makes it easier for the robotic
lawnmower to nd the charging station beyond many or
large islands, narrow passages or steep slopes.
The benet of this search method is shorter search times.
Search method 3: Follow boundary wire
The robotic lawnmower operates irregularly until it
reaches the boundary loop. Then it follows the boundary
loop to the charging station. The robotic lawnmower
randomly selects to travel clockwise or anticlockwise.
This search method is suitable in an installation with
an open lawn space, wide passages (wider than about
3 meters) and no or only a few small islands.
The benet of this search method is that there is no need
to install a guide wire.
The disadvantage is that some tracks can be formed
in the lawn alongside the boundary loop. The search
time will also be longer if there are narrow passages or
numerous islands in the installation.
As a rule, this search method is used only if the robotic
lawnmower can not nd the charging station using search
method 1 or 2 within the expected time period.

INSTALLATION
3 Installation
This chapter describes how to install the robotic
lawnmower. Read the previous chapter 2. Presentation
before starting the installation.
Read also through this entire chapter before beginning
the installation. How the installation is done also affects
how well the robotic lawnmower works. It is therefore
important to plan the installation carefully.
Planning is simplied if you make a sketch of the working
area, including all obstacles. This makes it easier to see
the ideal positions for the charging station, the boundary
wire and the guide wire. Draw on the sketch where the
boundary and guide wires should be routed.
For examples of installations, see 7 Yard Examples on
page 69.

• Allow for at least 3 meters of free space in front of
the charging station
• Close to a wall socket. The supplied low voltage
cable is 10 meters long.
• A level surface to place the charging station on
• Protection from water spray for instance from
sprinklers
• Protection from direct sunlight
• Possible requirement to keep the charging station
out of sight for outsiders

INSTALLATION
The charging station must be positioned with a great deal
of free space in front of it (at least 3 meters). It should
also be centrally placed in the working area to make it
easier for the robotic lawnmower to reach all areas in the
working area.
Do not put the charging station in conned spaces in the
working area. This can make it difcult for the robotic
mower to nd the charging station.
The charging station must be positioned on relatively
level ground. The front end of the charging station may
be a maximum of 5 cm higher or lower than the back end.
The charging station must not be positioned so that its
plate bends.
Connection of Power Supply
Take the following into consideration when planning
where to place the power supply:
• Close to the charging station
• Protection from rain
• Protection from direct sunlight
If the power supply is connected to an electrical socket
outdoors, it must be approved for outdoor use.
The low voltage cable for the power supply is 10 meters
long, and may not be shortened or extended. A longer low
voltage cable is available as optional accessory. Contact
your local dealer for more information.
It is not allowed to connect the power supply directly to
the charging station. The low voltage cable must always
be used.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The low voltage cable must not under any
circumstances be shortened or extended.
It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working
area. The low voltage cable must be pegged down or
buried, and the cutting height should be such that the
blades on the blade disc can never come in contact with
the low voltage cable.
Make sure to lay the low voltage cable along the ground,
fastened with pegs. The cable must lie close to the
ground so as not to be cut before the grass roots have
grown over it.
The low voltage cable must never be stored coiled up
or lie under the charging station bottom plate as it may
cause signal interference from the charging station.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Place the low voltage cable so that the
blades on the blade disc can never come
in contact with it.
The power supply must be placed where it is well
ventilated and is not exposed to direct sunlight. The
power supply should be placed under a roof.
It is recommended to use an earth fault-breaker when
connecting the power supply to the wall socket.
The power supply must be mounted on a vertical surface,
such as a wall or a fence. Screw the power supply in
place with screws in the two mounting eyelets. No screws
are supplied. Select screws suitable for the material in
question.
Do not, under any circumstances, mount the power
supply at a height where there is a risk it can be
submerged in water (at least 30 cm from the ground). It is
not permitted to place the power supply on the ground.
Never connect the power supply to an electrical socket
if the cable or the connector is damaged. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use the power supply plug to shut down
the charging station, for instance before
cleaning or repairing the search wire.

INSTALLATION
Installation and Connection of the Charging
Station
1. Position the charging station in a suitable spot.
2. Tilt the protective cover on the charging station
forward and connect the low voltage cable to the
charging station.
3. Connect the power supply’s power cord to a
100-240V wall socket.
4. Fasten the charging station to the ground using
the supplied screws. Ensure the screws are
screwed all the way down in the countersink. If
the charging station is placed against a wall, it is
best to wait before securing the charging station
to the ground until after all the wires have been
connected.
3.3 Charging the Battery
As soon as the charging station is connected, it is
possible to charge the robotic lawnmower. Set the main
switch in position 1.
Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to
charge the battery while the boundary and guide wires are
being laid.
If the battery is at, it will take around 80 to 100 minutes
to fully recharge it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The robotic lawnmower cannot be used
before the installation is complete.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is not permitted to make new holes in
the charging station's plate. Only the exist-
ing holes may be used to secure the base
plate to the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not tread or walk on the charging sta-
tion plate.

INSTALLATION
3.4 Installation of Boundary Wire
Ensure correct installation of the boundary wire according to directions.
The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways:
• Secure the wire to the ground with pegs.
It is preferable to peg down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary wire during
the rst few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will have grown over the wire making it no longer
visible. Use a hammer/plastic mallet and the pegs supplied when carrying out the installation.
• Bury the wire.
It is preferable to bury the boundary wire if you want to dethatch or aerate the lawn. If necessary, both
methods can be combined so one part of the boundary wire is pegged down and the remainder is buried. The
cable can be buried using for instance an edge cutter or a straight spade. Make sure to lay the boundary wire
at least 1 cm and a maximum of 20 cm in the ground.
Plan where to lay the boundary wire
The boundary wire must be laid so that:
• The wire forms a loop around the working area for the robotic lawnmower. Only Husqvarna boundary wire must
be used. It is specially designed to resist dampness from the soil that could otherwise easily damage the wires.
• The robotic lawnmower is never more than 35 meters from the wire at any point in the entire working area.
• The wire can not be more than 800 meters long.
• 20 cm of extra wire is available to which the guide wire will be connected later. Refer to 3.6 Installation of
Guide Wire page 28.
Depending on what the working area is adjacent to, the boundary wire must be laid at different distances from
obstacles. The illustration below shows how the boundary wire must be laid around the working area and around
obstacles. Use the supplied measurement gage to obtain the correct distance, see 2.1 What’s What? on page 11.

INSTALLATION
Working Area Boundaries
If a high obstacle (5 cm or more), for example a wall
or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire
should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent
the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle
and reduce body wear.
About 20 cm around the xed obstacle will not be mown.
If the working area borders on a small ditch, for example a
ower bed, a small elevation or a low kerbstone (1-5 cm),
the boundary wire should be laid 30 cm inside the working
area. This will prevent the wheels going into the ditch or
up onto the kerb, which can cause extensive damage to
the robot lawnmower, especially the front wheels.
About 15 cm of the lawn along the ditch/kerbstone will not
be mown.
If the working area borders on a paving stone path or
similar which is level with the lawn (+/- 1 cm), it is possible
to allow the robotic lawnmower to run a little over the
path. The boundary wire should then be laid 10 cm from
the edge of the path.
All the grass along the side of the path will be cut.
When the working area is divided by a paving stone path
that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow the robotic
lawnmower to run over the path. It can be an advantage
to lay the boundary wire under the paving stones. The
boundary wire can also be laid in the joint between the
paving stones. Make sure the paving stones are level
with the lawn to avoid unnecessary wear on the robotic
lawnmower.
Note: The robotic lawnmower must never run over gravel,
mulch or similar material which can damage the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the working area is adjacent to bodies of
water, slopes, precipices or a public road,
the boundary wire must be supplemented
with edging or the like. The height must
then be at least 15 cm. This will prevent
the robotic lawnmower from ever ending
up outside the working area.

INSTALLATION
Boundaries Within the Working Area
Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the
working area by creating islands around obstacles which
can not withstand a collision, for example owerbeds,
bushes and fountains. Lay the wire up to and around
the area to be demarcated, and then return it back along
the same route. If pegs are used, the wire should be
laid under the same peg on the return route. When the
boundary wires to and from the island are laid close
together, the robotic lawnmower can drive over the wire.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The boundary wire may not be crossed on
its way to and from an island.
Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example
trees and bushes higher than 15 cm, do not need to be
demarcated by the boundary wire. The robotic lawnmower
will turn when it collides with this type of obstacle.
It is recommended to isolate all xed objects in and
around the working area. This results in the most gentle
and silent operation and prevent the robotic lawnmower
from getting stuck in the objects under any circumstances.
Obstacles that slope slightly, for example stones or large
trees with raised roots, must be isolated or removed.
Otherwise the robotic lawnmower can slide up onto this
kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged.
Secondary Areas
If the working area consists of two areas which the
robotic lawnmower has difculty traveling between, it is
recommended to set up a secondary area. Instances of
this are 45 % slopes or a passage that is narrower than
60 cm. Then lay the boundary wire around the secondary
area so that it forms an island outside the main area.
The robotic lawnmower must be moved manually between
the main and secondary area when the lawn in the
secondary area has to be cut. Since the robotic lawnmower
is not able to get to the charging station by itself from a
secondary area, Secondary area (A) operating mode must
be used,
see 5.1 Operating Mode Start on page 38.
The robotic lawnmower will then not start searching for the
charging station but use its entire capacity to mow. When
the battery is at, the robotic lawnmower will stop and the
Needs manual charging message will appear in the display.
Then place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station
to charge the battery. If the main area is to be cut straight
after charging, the START button must be pressed and the
Main area (A) selected before closing the hatch.

INSTALLATION
Passages When Mowing
Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than
1.5-2 meters should be avoided. When the robotic
lawnmower mows there is a risk that it will move around
in the passage or area for too long. The lawn will then
look attened.
Slopes
The robotic lawnmower can also operate on sloping
working areas. The maximum gradient is dened as
percentage units (%). The slope as a percentage is
calculated as the difference in elevation in centimeters
for every meter. If for instance the difference in elevation
is 15 cm, the slope gradient is 15 %. See the adjacent
picture.
The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that has a
gradient of less than 15 %.
The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope
that is steeper than 15 %. There is a risk that the robotic
lawnmower will nd it difcult to turn there. The robotic
lawnmower will then stop and the Outside working area
fault message is displayed. The risk is at its greatest in
damp weather conditions, as the wheels can slip on the
wet grass.
However, the boundary wire can be laid across a slope
steeper than 15 % if there is an obstacle that the robotic
lawnmower is allowed to collide with, for example, a fence
or a dense hedge.
Inside the working area the robotic lawnmower can mow
areas which slope up to 45 %. Areas that slope more
must be demarcated by the boundary wire.
When a part of the working area's outer edge slopes more
than 15 %, the boundary wire must be laid about 35 cm in
on the at ground before the beginning of the slope.

INSTALLATION
Laying the Boundary Wire
If you intend to peg down the boundary wire:
• Cut the grass very short with a standard lawn mower
or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid. It will then
be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and
the risk of the robotic lawnmower cutting the wire or
damaging the insulation of the wire is reduced.
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire close to the
ground and secure with pegs. The cable must lie
close to the ground so as not to be cut before the
grass roots have grown over it.
• Use a hammer to knock the pegs into the ground.
Exercise care when knocking in the pegs and make
sure the wire is not under strain. Avoid sharp bends
in the wire.
If the boundary wire is to be buried:
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire at least 1 cm and
a maximum of 20 cm in the ground. The cable can be
buried using for instance an edge cutter or a straight
spade.
Use the supplied measurement gage as a guide when
you lay out the boundary wire. This helps you to easily
set the correct distance between the boundary wire and
the boundary/obstacle. The measurement gage is broken
loose from the box.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Extra wire must not be placed in coils
outside the boundary wire. This can
disrupt the robotic lawnmower.
Loop for connecting the guide wire
To facilitate the connection of the guide wire to the
boundary wire, it is recommended to wind a ring with
about 20 cm of extra boundary wire at the point where
the guide wire will later be connected. It is a good idea to
plan where the guide wire will be placed before laying out
the boundary wire. Refer to 3.6 Installation of Guide Wire
page 28.

INSTALLATION
Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging
station
On its way toward the charging station, the boundary wire
can be laid completely outside the charging station (see
option 1 in the gure). If there is a need to partly locate
the charging station outside the working area, it is also
possible to lay the wire under the charging station plate
(see option 2 in the gure).
However most of the charging station must not be placed
outside the working area as the robotic lawnmower can
then nd it difcult to nd the charging station (see gure).
Splicing the boundary wire
Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long
enough and needs to be spliced. It is waterproof and
gives a reliable electrical connection.
Insert both cable ends in the coupler. Make sure the wires
are fully inserted in the coupler by checking that the ends
are visible through the transparent area on the opposite
side of the coupler. Now fully press down the button on
top of the connector. Use pliers to completely depress the
button on the connector.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Twinned cables, or a screw terminal block
that is insulated with insulation tape are
not satisfactory splices. Soil moisture will
cause the wire to oxidize and after a time
result in a broken circuit.

3.5 Connecting the Boundary Wire
Connect the boundary wire to the charging station:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The boundary wire must not be crossed
when connecting to the charging station.
The right hand wire end must be connected
to the right hand pin on the charging station
and the left hand wire end to the left pin.
1. Place the cable ends in the connector:
• Open the connector.
• Place the wire in the connector grip.
2. Press together the connectors with a pair of
pliers. Press until you hear a click.
3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm
above each connector.
4. Tilt the protective cover on the charging station
forward and run the wire ends up each channel
at the rear of the charging station. Press the
connector onto the contact pin, marked AL (left)
and AR (right), on the charging station.
5. Mark the wires with the accompanying wire
labels. This makes it easier to reconnect the wires
correctly when for instance the charging station
has been stored indoors for the winter.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The right hand connector must be con-
nected to the right hand contact pin on the
charging station and the left hand wire end
to the left connector.

INSTALLATION
3.6 Installation of Guide Wire
The guide wire is a wire that is laid away from the
charging station, for instance out towards a remote part of
the working area or through a narrow passage and then
connected with the boundary wire. The same wire is used
for both the boundary and guide wires.
The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to nd
its way back to the charging station but also to guide the
robotic lawnmower to hard-to reach areas of the yard.
Automower ® 450X can have up to three guide wires and
Automower® 430X up to two guide wires. Automower®
420 has only one guide wire.
Run the robotic lawnmower at varying distances from the
guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming. The area
beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then uses
is called the Corridor. The wider the corridor allowed by
the installation, the less the risk of tracks forming. When
installing, it is therefore important to create as much free
space as possible along the guide wire.
The robotic lawnmower always runs to the left of the
guide wire as seen facing the charging station. The
grass corridor is then to the left of the guide wire. When
installing, it is therefore important to create as much free
space as possible to the left of the guide wire, as seen
facing the charging station. It is not allowed to lay the
guide wire closer than 30 cm from the boundary wire.
The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be pegged to
or buried in the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure to have as much free space as
possible to the left of the guide wire, as
seen facing the charging station.

INSTALLATION
Laying and connecting the guide wire
1. Before laying and connecting the guide wire, it
is important to give consideration to the length
of the guide loop, especially in large or complex
installations. If the guide loop is longer than
400 meters, the robotic lawnmower can have
difculty following the guide wire.
The guide wire, together with the part of the
boundary loop that comprises the return to the
charging station, is called the guide loop. The
signal in the guide loop always goes to the left
at the connection from the guide wire to the
boundary wire. The two gures here display what
is regarded as a guide loop. The gures are
also a good example of how the guide loop in
an working area can have very varying lengths
depending on where the charging station is
placed.
2. Tilt the top cover on the charging station forward
and run the guide wire up the channel leading to
the guide connection.
3. Fit a connector to the guide wire in the same
way as for the boundary wire in 3.5 Connecting
the Boundary Wire. Connect it to the contact pin
on the charging station that is labeled G1. On
an installation where several guides are to be
connected, use G2 and G3 (Automower® 430X
and Automower® 450X).
4. Mark the wires with wire labels. This makes it
easier to reconnect the wires correctly when for
instance the charging station has been stored
indoors for the winter.
5. Run the guide wire straight under the charging
plate and then at least 2 meters straight out from
the front edge of the plate.
Consider when laying the guide wire that as much
space as possible is provided to the left (as seen
facing the charging station) of the guide wire.
The distance between the boundary wire and the
guide wire must always be at least 30 cm.

INSTALLATION
If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep
slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an
angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on the
slope.
Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can
make it difcult for the robotic lawnmower to follow
the guide wire.
6. Run the guide wire to the point on the boundary
wire where the guide wire is to be connected.
Lift up the boundary wire. Cut the boundary wire
using for instance a pair of wire cutters. Connecting
the guide wire is easier if a loop is made on the
boundary wire as described above, see Loop for
connecting the guide wire on page 25.
7. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using
a coupler:
Insert the boundary wire into each of the holes
in the coupler. Insert the guide wire in the center
hole in the coupler. Make sure the wires are fully
inserted in the coupler by checking that the ends
are visible through the transparent area on the
opposite side of the coupler.
Use pliers to completely depress the button on the
connector.
It does not matter which holes are used to connect
each wire.
8. Peg down/bury the connector in the lawn.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The guide wire may not cross the bound-
ary wire, for instance a boundary wire that
is laid out to an island.

3.7 Checking the Installation
Check the loop signal by inspecting the indicator lamp on
the charging station.
• Solid green light = good signals.
• Flashing green light = loop system is shut down and
the robotic lawnmower is in ECO mode, see 6.9

• Date
• Time
• Four digit PIN code. All combinations except 0000
are permitted.
Dock the robotic lawnmower in the charging station and
press START.
The robotic lawnmower will now begin to calibrate the
cutting height adjustment. When this is complete the
guide wires will be calibrated. Press START and close
the cover. The calibration is performed by the robotic
lawnmower backing out of the charging station and
running a calibration process in front of the charging
station. When this is completed, mowing can begin.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use Memo on page 2 to make a note of
the PIN code.
3.9 Test Docking with the Charging
Station
Before using the robotic lawnmower, check that the
robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire all the way
to the charging station and easily docks with the charging
station.
The test function is in the robotic lawnmower Installation
> Find charging stations > Guide > More > Test Guide X
menu. For more information, see More > Test on page 58.
If more than one guide wire is installed, the test must be
carried out on all guide wires.
If no guide wire is installed the test must be carried out on
the boundary wire, both clockwise and anti-clockwise.
The guide system must rst be calibrated if the above test
is to provide a satisfactory result, see 3.8 First Start-up
and Calibration on page 32.

The times are approximate and depend for instance on
grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use the timer to avoid mowing when there
are usually children, pets and anything
else about that could be hurt or damaged
by the rotating blades on the lawn.
The factory setting is that the robotic lawnmower will
operate around the clock seven days a week.
If the size of the working area allows it, the quality of the
grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day
instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass
benets from resting completely during at least a three-
day period once a month.
The maximum capacity is obtained when the robotic
lawnmower is allowed to mow around the clock seven
days a week.

MENU FUNCTIONS
6.2 Menu Structure
The following table summarizes the menu selections found in the main menu. The following chapter provides more
detailed information about how each function is used and which setting options are available.
Use the arrow keys to browse the menu. Conrm selections with OK.
Timer
The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Consequently,
it is important to limit the operating time using the timer function if the working area
is less than the robotic lawnmower's working capacity. The timer function is also an
ideal means to control which work hours the robotic lawnmower should not mow, for
example, when the children are playing in the yard.
Cutting height
The cutting height can be varied from MIN (2 cm) to MAX (6 cm).
During the rst week after a new installation, the cutting height must be set to MAX to
avoid damaging the loop wire. After this, the cutting height can be lowered one step
every week until the desired cutting height has been reached.
Security
In this menu, settings relating to security and the connection between the robotic
lawnmower and the charging station can be made.
There are three security levels to choose from but it is also possible to dene your own
combination of security functions.
Messages
Historical faults and information messages can be read in this menu. Regards some
of the most common fault messages, there are tips and advice to help you rectify the
fault, see 9.1 Fault Messages on page 80.
Weather timer
This function allows the robotic lawnmower to automatically adjust its mowing times
based on how quick the lawn grows. When the weather is good for grass growth, the
robotic lawnmower mows more often and when grass growth is slower, the robotic
lawnmower will automatically spend less time on the lawn.
Installation
This menu is used to steer the robotic lawnmower to remote parts of the working
area and to control how the robotic lawnmower searches for the charging station. The
factory settings can be kept for many working areas, i.e. allow the robotic lawnmower
itself to combine the various search methods and the underlying settings.
Settings
This selection allows you to make changes to the general robotic lawnmower settings
such as date and time.
Accessories
Settings for accessories mounted on the mower can be made in this menu. Get in
touch with your local dealer for more information concerning the accessories that are

6.3 Timer
The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. Consequently, it is important to limit the
operating time using the timer function if the working
area is less than the mower's working capacity. When the
robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow too much, the lawn
may appear attened. Besides, the robotic lawnmower is
subjected to unnecessary wear.
The timer function is also an ideal means to control which
work hours the robotic lawnmower should not mow, for
example, when the children are playing in the yard.
Maximum performance is obtained when the timer is
turned off and the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow
around the clock seven days a week. Hours of operation
and days are shown graphically on the robotic lawnmower
display. Active mowing per day are illustrated with a
black bar. The rest of the time, the robotic lawnmower is
standing in the charging station.
The factory setting is that the timer is inactive and the
robotic lawnmower will operate around the clock seven
days a week. A suitable setting for a working area is
normally one corresponding to the robotic lawnmower's
maximum performance, i.e.
Automower

2200 3200 5000
When setting the timer, count on the robotic lawnmower
mowing the number of square meters per hour and day
specied in the table Working Capacity see 4.2 Using the
Timer on page 34.
The tables below give suggestions of different timer
setting depending on the size of the yard. The tables can
be used when setting the operating time. Times should be
regarded as general. They may have to be adapted to suit
the yard. Use the tables is in the following way:
1. Select the working area that is most like the yard.
2. Select a suitable number of working days per week
(7 days may be necessary for some working areas).
3. Working hours per day shows how many hours per
day that the robotic lawnmower can operated during
the selected number of working days.
4. The suggested interval is the interval corresponding to
the desired number of working hours per day.

6.7 Weather Timer
This function allows the robotic lawnmower to
automatically adjust its mowing times based on how quick
the lawn grows. When the weather is good for grass
growth, the robotic lawnmower mows more often and
when grass growth is slower, the robotic lawnmower will
automatically spend less time on the lawn.
The robotic lawnmower will however not operate longer
than the time that may be congured in the timer
settings. For optimal weather timer performance, it is
recommended when setting the timer to only de-select
the times when the robotic lawnmower must not operate.
Other times should be made available for the weather
timer.
When the weather timer is activated, the robotic
lawnmower needs time to decide what the optimal
mowing time is for the working area in question. For this
reason it can take a number of days before the mowing
results are optimal.
When the weather timer is activated, it is very important
to regularly check that the blade disc is clean and that the
blades are in good condition. Any grass twisted around
the blade disc shaft or blunt blades can affect how the
weather timer functions.
Weather timer
Check the box and press OK to activate the Weather
Timer.
Cutting time
If the mowing results are not optimal when using the
Weather timer, Cutting time settings may need adjusting.
To adjust the cutting time, place the cursor by Cutting
Time and use the right and left arrow keys to increase or
decrease the cutting time in three preset intervals.
The longer the chosen cutting time, the longer the robotic
lawnmower is allowed to work.

6.8 Installation
This menu function is used to steer the robotic lawnmower to remote parts of a working area and control how the
robotic lawnmower searches for the charging station. For many working areas there is no need to alter the factory
settings i.e. allow the robotic lawnmower itself to combine the various search methods and the underlying settings.

MENU FUNCTIONS
Lawn coverage
This menu function is used to steer the robotic lawnmower
to remote parts of a working area. This important function
is used to maintain an even mowing result in the entire
working area. In very complex yards with for instance
many areas which are joined by narrow passages, the
mowing result can be improved by making a number of
manual settings as described below.
It is also possible to test exit settings and to identify the
distance from the charging station to a remote area.
The factory settings in Automower® 430X and
Automower® 450X use a built-in GPS to check which
areas are mowed and thereby which areas need to be
mowed next. Automower® 430X and Automower® 450X
can in this way automatically get to parts of the working
area that are hard to reach.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
No manual settings need to be made if
GPS assisted navigation is used.
The factory settings in Automower
®
420 allow the robotic
lawnmower to follow the guide wire 300 meters in 20 % of
the times it leaves the charging station.
GPS assisted navigation
For Automower® 430X and Automower® 450X only.
GPS assisted navigation uses an inbuilt GPS to check
which areas are mowed and thereby which areas need
to be mowed next. After a number of days operating,
the robotic lawnmower creates a map of the working
area and where the guide wires are laid. In this way
the Automower® 430X and Automower® 450X can
automatically set distance and proportion for hard to
reach parts of the working area.
The automatic settings made by the robotic lawnmower
cannot be read in the display.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the same robotic lawnmower is used
for two or more charging stations that are
close together (neighbors for instance),
the GPS assisted navigation can only be
used in one of the working areas. Other-
wise the digital map can be misleading
and the robotic lawnmower's lawn cover-
age can therefore be reduced.

Find charging station
The robotic lawnmower can be set to search for the
charging station in one or more of the following three
ways: Guide, Boundary Wire and Charging Station. The
factory settings are that these three search options are
automatically combined to nd the charging station as
quickly as possible but also with a minimum risk of tracks
forming.
In very complex yards e.g. with many areas joined by
narrow passages, the amount of time required to nd the
charging station is decreased by carrying out a number of
the manual setting outlined below.
The robotic lawnmower always starts the search for the
charging station using an irregular search method.
When the robotic lawnmower still cannot nd the charging
station after a specic period of irregular searching, it also
starts to search for the guide wires and after a further
period also the boundary wire to follow one of them into
the charging station instead. This time is specied in
minutes and is known as delay time.
Example:
4 minute delay for Guide 1 and Guide 2 and 11 minutes
for the boundary wire. The robotic lawnmower then
searches irregularly for 4 minutes and then also
searches for the guide wires for 7 minutes. If it has
not found a guide wire after this period, the robotic
lawnmower now also searches for the boundary loop.
It is possible of course to specify the same delay time
for both the guide wires and boundary wire, for instance
5 minutes. The robotic lawnmower then searches
irregularly for 5 minutes and when it does not nd the
charging station, it continues to search either by following
the guide wires or the boundary wire, depending on which
one it reaches rst.
In general a long delay time decreases the risk of tracks
forming (the robotic lawnmower will nd the charging
station more often through irregular searches) but gives
longer search times. A short delay time gives the opposite
effect, i.e. short search times with increased risk of tracks
forming along the guide wires and/or boundary wires.
It is also possible to test that the robotic lawnmower
can follow the guide wires and the boundary wire to the
charging station and dock with it without a problem.

Automower® 430X up to two guide wires.
Automower® 420 has only one guide wire.
Guide > Guide 1 delay
Move the cursor to Delay Guide 1 and enter the delay in
minutes.
The delay is normally specied as a gure between 0 and
10 minutes. Repeat this procedure if more than one guide

Boundary wire
Make sure the Follow boundary home checkbox is
marked. Otherwise use the right or left arrow keys for
marking and press OK.
Use the number keys to enter the delay time.
Move the cursor to Delay time and enter the delay in
minutes.
This time is normally longer than for any of the guides
as it is normally better if the robotic lawnmower follows
one of the guide wires home to the charging station. The
delay time is normally specied as a gure between 10
and 20 minutes but can be shorter if a guide wire is not
installed and it is unlikely that the robotic lawnmower can
nd the charging station through an irregular search.
If the robotic lawnmower passes a guide wire when it is
following the boundary wire, it will interrupt the search
along the boundary wire and instead start following the
guide wire to the charging station.
If it is strictly inappropriate in the installation to follow the
boundary wire, the Follow boundary home checkbox must
be deactivated.
Charging station range
There may be reasons to reduce the range of the charging
station in rare cases. It may be necessary if for instance
the charging station is placed close to a bush or wall which
prevents the robotic lawnmower from docking with the
charging station despite making contact with the charging
station's signals. In these cases, it is normally better to
move the charging station, but if this is not possible, the
range of the charging station can be reduced.

More > Test
Testing selected settings can be seen as a natural part of
the installation.
To test the selected settings:
1. Place the robotic lawnmower about 3 meters from
the wire to be tested (boundary wire or one of the
guide wires), facing the wire.
2. Use the right/left arrow key to select Test under
the wire to be tested. Press OK.
3. Press START and close the display hatch.
Check that the robotic lawnmower follows the
guide wire all the way to the charging station and
that it docks with the charging station. The test
is approved only if the robotic lawnmower is able
to follow the guide wire the entire distance to the
charging station and docks at the rst attempt.
If the robotic lawnmower is unable to dock on
the rst attempt, it will automatically try again.
The installation is not approved if the robotic
lawnmower needs two or more attempts to dock
with the charging station.
Normal causes as to why the robotic lawnmower
cannot follow the wire are that obstacles close to
the wire have not been isolated or that the guide
wire has not been laid at an angle on a steep
slope. Check that the charging station, boundary
wire and guide wire are installed in accordance
with the instructions in Chapters 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6.
If manual settings are done, the wrong corridor
width may also have been selected.
4. The test is approved when the robotic lawnmower
can follow the selected wire to the charging station
and dock with it on the rst attempt without any
problems.
Using Test, the robotic lawnmower travels the maximum
distance from the wire dened by the selected corridor
width.

Corridor width
The corridor width is a measure of how far from the guide
wire/boundary wire the robotic lawnmower is allowed to
travel when it follows this to and from the charging station.
The area beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower
then uses is called the Corridor.
The aim of operating at varying distances from the wire
is reduce the risk of tracks forming. To reduce the risk of
tracks forming, it is recommended to select the widest
corridor possible allowed by the size of the working area.
The robotic lawnmower adapts the corridor according to
the shape of the working area when it follows along the
guide wire. The inbuilt automatic mechanism allows the
robotic lawnmower to vary the distance from the guide
wire depending on where in the working area it is located.
It automatically makes the corridor narrower in narrow
passages for instance.
The factory settings can be used for many working
areas, i.e. the robotic lawnmower itself can use the inbuilt
functions to operate in the widest possible corridor. In
more complex yards e.g. where the guide wire is placed
close to obstacles which cannot be isolated using the
boundary loop, operational safety can be improved by
carrying out some of the manual settings outlined below.
Corridor width > Boundary
Corridor width is specied in intervals from 1-9. The rst
number in the interval species the shortest distance to
the boundary loop and the second number the longest
distance.
The distance the robotic lawnmower maintains from the
boundary loop varies depending on the layout of the
working area. Use the Test function in Installation > Lawn
Coverage > Overview to test the different values.
Use the number keys to specify the required interval.
The factory setting is 3-6.

MENU FUNCTIONS
Corridor width > Guide
The Automatic passage management function
automatically adjusts the width of the guide corridor. The
maximum corridor width can also be changed manually.
The corridor width can be set to between 0 and 9.
If value 0 is specied, the robotic lawnmower will straddle
the guide wire meaning it runs right over the middle of the
guide wire.
Use the arrow keys to specify the required value.
The factory setting is 9.
Exit angles
Normally the robotic lawnmower leaves the charging
station in a direction within the 90°-270° exit sector. By
changing the exit angles, it makes it easier for the robotic
lawnmower to reach the largest working area if the
charging station is placed in a passage.
Exit angles > Sectors
The robotic lawnmower can be set for one or two exit
sectors. If the charging station is placed in a passage, two
exit angles, for instance 70°–110° and 250°–290°, can be
used.
When two exit angles are used, there is a need to also
specify how often the robotic lawnmower must leave
the charging station in sector 1. This is done using the
Proportion rst function by specifying a percentage.
For instance 75 % means that the robotic lawnmower
leaves the charging station in Sector 1 on 75 % of the
times and 25 % of the times in sector 2.
Use the number keys to specify the required angles in
degrees for the sectors and proportion as a percentage.
Reversing distance
This functions allows you to control how far the robotic
lawnmower has to reverse out of the charging station
before it starts mowing. This is a useful function, for
instance, if the charging station is placed a long way in
under a veranda or in another limited space area.
Use the number keys to specify the required reverse
distance in centimeters and press OK.
Drive past wire
The front of the robotic lawnmower always passes the
boundary wire by a specic distance before the mower
turns around. The default distance is 31 cm, but this can
be changed if required. A gure between 20 and 50 can
be selected.
Note that the distance given is only an approximate value
and should be regarded as a guide. In reality, the actual
distance the robotic mower passes the boundary wire can
vary.
Specify the number of centimeters you want the robotic
lawnmower to pass the boundary wire and press OK.

MENU FUNCTIONS
ECO
This function automatically turns off the loop signal in the
boundary loop, the guide wires and the charging station
when the robotic lawnmower is not mowing, I.e. when the
lawnmower is charging or is not allowed to mow due to
timer settings.
ECO is suitable to use where there is other wireless
equipment not compatible with the robotic lawnmower e.g.
certain hearing loops or garage doors.
When the loop signal is turned off due to the ECO mode,
the indicator lamp in the charging station ashes green.
When the indicator lamp ashes green the robotic
lawnmower can only be started in the charging station
and not out in the working area.
In ECO mode, it is very important to always press the STOP
button before removing the robotic lawnmower from the
charging station. In ECO mode it is otherwise not possible
to start the robotic lawnmower. If the lawnmower has been
removed by mistake without rst pressing the STOP button,
the lawnmower must be placed back in the charging station
and the STOP button pressed. Only then can the robotic
lawnmower be started inside the working area.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always press the STOP button before
removing the robotic lawnmower from the
charging station. In ECO mode the robotic
lawnmower otherwise will not start inside
the working area.
Select ECO mode and press OK to activate ECO mode.
Spiral cutting
If the robotic lawnmower enters an area where it senses
the grass is longer than average, it can change the
movement pattern. It can then mow in a spiral pattern to
faster cut the area of longer grass.
Spiral cutting
To deactivate spiral cutting, uncheck Spiral cutting and
press OK.
Intensity
The level of sensitivity can be adjusted to set how much
over the average height the grass has to be for spiral
cutting to begin.
Low sensitivity means that spiral cutting begins less often.
High sensitivity means that spiral cutting begins more often.

MAINTENANCE
8 Maintenance
Check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary to improve operating
reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For further
information on cleaning, see 8.4 Cleaning on page 76.
When the robotic lawnmower is rst used, the blade
disc and blades should be inspected once a week. If
the amount of wear during this period has been low, the
inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The service
life of the blades varies immensely and depends for
instance on:
• Operating time and size of the working area.
• Type of grass.
• Type of soil.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal service life is 2 to 6 weeks when used in areas
more than 1,500 m
2
in size and longer for smaller areas.
To replace the blades, see 8.7 Blades on page 78.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut clean-
ly and more energy is needed resulting in
the robotic lawnmower not mowing such a
large area.

MAINTENANCE
8.1 Winter Storage
The robotic lawnmower
The robotic lawnmower must be carefully cleaned before
winter storage, see 8.4 Cleaning on page 76.
To guarantee battery functionality and service life, it is
very important to fully charge the robotic lawnmower
before storing it away for the winter. Place the robotic
lawnmower in the charging station with the hatch open
until the battery icon in the display shows that the battery
is fully charged. Then set the main switch to 0.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The battery must be charged fully before
winter storage. If the battery is not fully
charged it can be damaged and in certain
cases be rendered useless.
Check the condition of wear items such as blades and
bearings in the front wheels. Rectify if necessary to make
sure the robotic lawnmower is in good condition prior to
next season.
Store the robotic lawnmower in a dry and frost-free
environment. A wall hanger produced especially for
Automower
®
robotic lawnmower and charging station
is available as an accessory. The wall hanger is perfect
for winter storage. Contact your local dealer for more
information.
Charging station
Store the charging station and power supply indoors.
The boundary wire and the guide wire can be left in the
ground. The ends of the wires should be protected from
damp by connecting them to an original coupler or putting
them in a container with grease for instance.
If it is not possible to store the charging station indoors,
the charging station must be connected to the mains, the

MAINTENANCE
8.2 Winter Service
Leave your robotic lawnmower with a dealer for service
prior to winter storage. Regular winter service is a good
way to maintain the robotic lawnmower in good condition
over a long period of time and create the best conditions
for a new season without any disruptions.
Service usually includes the following:
• Thorough cleaning of the body, the chassis, the blade
disc and all other moving parts.
• Testing of the mower's function and components.
• Checking and if required replacement of wear items
such as blades and bearings.
• Testing the mower's battery capacity as well as a
recommendation to replace battery if necessary.
If necessary the dealer can also update the robotic
lawnmower with new software, including new features
where applicable.
8.3 After Winter Storage
Check whether the robotic lawnmower, contact strips or
charging strips need to be cleaned before using. If the
charging or contact strips appear to be burnt or coated,
clean them using ne grade emery cloth. Check that the
mower’s time and date are correct.
8.4 Cleaning
It is important to keep the robotic lawnmower clean. A
robotic lawnmower with a lot of grass stuck to it will nd it
harder to travel up slopes, perform worse and be exposed
to greater wear and tear. It is recommended to clean
using a soft brush.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never use a high-pressure washer or even
running water to clean the robotic lawn-
mower. Never use solvents for cleaning.

MAINTENANCE
Chassis and Blade Disc
1. Set the main switch in 0 position.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Lift the robotic lawnmower onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and chassis using e.g. a dish
brush.
Check at the same time that the skid plate rotates freely
in relation to the blade disc.
If long blades of grass or other objects nd their way in,
these may impede the blade disc. Even a slight braking
effect leads to a higher consumption of energy and
longer mowing times, and at worst will prevent the robotic
lawnmower from being able to mow a large lawn. The
blade disc must be removed to carry out a more thorough
cleaning. If necessary, get in touch with your local dealer.
Chassis
Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with a
damp cloth.
Wheels
Clean around the front wheels and rear wheels as well as
the front wheel suspension.
Body
Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body. If
the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap
solution or washing-up liquid.
Charging Station
Clean the charging station regularly from grass, leaves,
twigs and other objects that may impede docking.
8.5 Transport and Moving
Secure the machine during transport. It is important
that the robotic lawnmower is kept still when it is being
transported, for instance, between lawns.
The accompanying lithium ion batteries are covered by
demands in legislation concerning hazardous goods.
Special requirements on packaging and marking must be
followed for commercial transport with, for example, third
parties or carriers.
An expert in hazardous goods must be consulted before
preparing the transport of the subject. Any more detailed
national regulations must also be observed.
Cover over any open connectors and pack the battery in
such a way that it will not move in the packaging.

MAINTENANCE
8.6 In Case of Thunderstorms
To reduce the risk of damage to electrical components
in the robotic lawnmower and its charging station, we
recommend that all connections to the charging station
are disconnected (power supply, boundary wire and guide
wires) if there is a risk of a thunderstorm.
1. Ensure that cables are marked with the included
markers to facilitate reconnection. The charging
station's connections are marked AR, AL, G1, G2,
G3.
2. Disconnect all wires.
3. Close the cover to the charging station to protect
the connections from rain.
4. Connect all the wires if there is no longer a risk of
thunder. It is important that each wire is connected
to the right place.
8.7 Blades
WARNING
Always use original blades and screws
when replacing. Only replacing the
blades and reusing the screw can result
in the screw wearing during mowing and
shearing off. The blades can then be
thrown out and cause serious injury.
There are three blades on the robotic lawnmower, which
are screwed into the blade disc. All three blades and
screws must be replaced at the same time to obtain a
balanced mowing system.
Use Husqvarna approved blades only. Contact your local
dealer for more information.
To replace the blades:
1. Set the main switch to position 0.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Turn the robotic lawnmower upside down.
4. Rotate the skid plate so that its holes align with
the screw for the blade.
5. Remove the screw. Use a straight slot or cross-tip
screwdriver.
6. Remove the blade and the screw.
7. Screw on the new blade and the new screw.
Check also that the blades can pivot freely.

MAINTENANCE
8.8 Battery
The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited life
span of 2 to 4 years.
Battery service life is dependent on the length of the
season and how many hours a day the robotic lawnmower
is used. A long season or many hours of use per day
means that the battery must be replaced more regularly.
Contact your dealer to replace the battery.
Charge the battery in the included charging station only.
Always use the original power supply unit. Incorrect usage
can cause electrical shocks, overheating or leakage of
corrosive liquid from the battery. In case of an electrolyte
leak, rinse with water/neutralizing agent. Seek medical
help if electrolyte comes into contact with eyes.
RELEASE NOTES
Do not try to recharge batteries that are
not rechargeable.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
9.5 Finding Breaks in the Loop Wire
Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of
unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when
gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost,
sharp stones that move in the ground can also damage the
wire. Breaks can also be due to the wire being stretched
excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too short right after the installation can
damage cable insulation. Certain damage to the insulation
may not cause disruptions until several weeks or months
later. To avoid this, always select the maximum cutting
height the rst weeks after installation and then lower the
height one step at a time every second week until the
desired cutting height has been reached.
A defective splicing of the loop cable can also lead to
disruptions rst several weeks after the splice was formed.
A faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the original
coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a pair
of pliers, or a coupler of lower quality than original coupler
has been used. Please rst check all known splices before
further troubleshooting is done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving the
distance of the loop where the break may have occurred
until there is only a very short section of the wire left.
The following method does not work if ECO mode is
activated. Therefore, rst ensure ECO mode has been shut
down, see 6.9 Settings on page 61.
1. Make sure the indicator lamp in the charging
station ashes blue, which indicates a break in
the boundary loop. Refer to 9.3 Indicator Lamp in
Charging Station page 84.
2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the
charging station are properly connected and not
damaged. Check that the indicator lamp in the
charging station is still ashing blue.

3. Switch the connections between the guide wire
and the boundary wire in the charging station.
a) Switch connection AL and G1.
If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green light,
then the break is somewhere on the boundary
wire between AL and the point where the guide
wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black
line in the illustration).
b) Put AL and G1 back in their original positions.
Then switch AR and G1.
If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green light,
then the break is somewhere on the boundary
wire between AR and the point where the guide
wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black
line in the illustration).

end to the point where the new wire is connected
(thick black line in the illustration below).
In that case, move the connection for the new wire
closer to the disconnected end (roughly at the
middle of the suspected wire section) and check
again if the indicator lamp is green.
Continue until only a very short section of the wire
remains which is the difference between a ashing
blue light and a solid green light.
b) If the indicator lamp is solid green in test 3b)
above, a similar test is carried out but with the
new loop wire connected to AL instead.
