1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1. Introduction and safety 1.1 Introduction Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally high quality product. To get the best results from your Husqvarna robotic lawnmower requires knowledge of its function. This operator's manual contains important information about the robotic lawnmower, how it must be installed and how to use it. As a complement to this Operator's Manual, there is more information available on the Automower® website, www.automower.com.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.2 Symbols on the product These symbols can be found on the robotic lawnmower. Study them carefully. • • • • Please read the Operator’s Manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the robotic lawnmower. The warnings and safety instructions in this Operator’s Manual must be carefully followed if the robotic lawnmower is to be used safely and efficiently.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.3 Symbols in the Operator’s Manual These symbols can be found in the Operator’s Manual. Study them carefully. • Turn the main switch to 0 before carrying out any inspections and/or maintenance. • Always wear protective gloves when working with the robotic lawnmower’s chassis. • Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean the robotic lawnmower. • A warning box indicates the risk of personal injury, especially if the instructions are not followed.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.4 Safety Instructions Use • This robotic lawnmower is designed to mow grass in open and level ground areas. It may only be used with the equipment recommended by the manufacturer. All other types of use are incorrect. The manufacturer’s instructions with regard to operation, maintenance and repair must be followed precisely.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY • The robotic lawnmower must never be used at the same time as a sprinkler. In this case use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on page 44) so the robotic lawnmower and sprinkler never run simultaneously. • Full compatibility cannot be guaranteed between the robotic lawnmower and other types of wireless systems such as remote controls, radio transmitters, hearing loops, buried electric animal fencing or similar. • Metal objects in the ground (e.g.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 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 in the 0 position during all work on the robotic lawnmower’s chassis, such as cleaning or replacing the blades. • Inspect the robotic lawnmower each week and replace any damaged or worn parts. Check especially that the blades and blade disc are not damaged.
2. 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. • Charging station, where your robotic lawnmower returns when the charge level in the battery becomes too low.
2. PRESENTATION 2.1 What is what? 2 3 5 4 1 6 7 15 14 11 8 12 9 13 17 10 16 20 18 19 21 22 23 24 3012-1024 The numbers in the illustration represent: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
2. PRESENTATION 2.2 Function Capacity The robotic lawnmower is recommended for lawns up to 800 m2 (500 m2 for Automower® 305). How big an area 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 garden is also significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns, the robotic lawnmower can mow more in one hour than if the garden consists of several small lawns separated by trees, flower beds and passages.
2. PRESENTATION 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. When the robotic lawnmower searches for the charging station, it first searches irregularly for the guide wire.
2. PRESENTATION The control panel on the top of the robotic lawnmower is where you manage all the robotic lawnmower settings. Open the control panel cover by pressing down the STOP button. When the main switch is set to position 1 for the first time, a start-up sequence begins which includes language selection, time format, date format and the four-digit PIN code and setting the time and date. See 3.8 First start-up and calibration on page 33.
3. INSTALLATION 3. Installation This chapter describes how to install the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower. Before starting the installation read the previous chapter 2. Presentation. 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 simplified if you make a sketch of the working area, including all obstacles.
3. INSTALLATION • Transformer (20) • Low voltage cable (17) • Staples (21) • Connector for connecting the loop wire to the charging station (18) • Screws for the charging station (19) • Measurement gauge (22) • Couplers for the loop wire (23) During installation you will also need: • Hammer/plastic mallet (to simplify putting the staples in the ground). • Combination pliers for cutting the boundary wire and pressing the contact strips together.
3. INSTALLATION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free space in front of it (at least 3 metres). 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. 3012-931 Do not put the charging station in confined spaces in the working area. There must be a straight boundary wire, at least 1.5 metres long, to the right and left of the charging station.
3. INSTALLATION If the installation is done in a working area with a steep slope (such as around a house on a hill), the charging station should be placed in the area at the bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire to the charging station. 3018-059 The charging station should not be placed on an island as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal way.
3. INSTALLATION It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working area. The low voltage cable must be stapled 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 the low voltage cable is laid along the ground and secured with pegs 75 cm apart. The cable must lie close to the ground so as not to be cut before the grass roots have grown over it.
3. INSTALLATION Installation and connecting the charging station 1. Position the charging station in a suitable spot. 2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station. 3. Connect the transformer’s power cable to a 230 V wall socket. If the wall socket is outdoors, it is important that the transformer is protected from direct sunlight. 4. Attach the charging station to the ground using the supplied screws. Ensure the screws are screwed all the way down in the countersink.
3. INSTALLATION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: 1. Securing the wire to the ground with staples. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during the first 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 staples supplied when carrying out the installation. 2. Bury the wire.
3. INSTALLATION Working area boundaries If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 30 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear. About 20 cm around the fixed obstacle will not be mown.
3. INSTALLATION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example, flowerbeds, 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 staples are used, the wire should be laid under the same staple on the return route.
3. INSTALLATION Slopes The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10%. 3012-946 The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope that is steeper than 10%. There is a risk that the robotic lawnmower will find it difficult to turn there. The robotic lawnmower will then stop and the Outside working area fault message is displayed.
3. INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire If you intend to staple down the boundary wire: • Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower 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 the staples close together approximately 75 cm apart.
3. INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station The boundary wire must be laid in line with the rear end of the charging station and at least 1.5 metres straight out to the right and left of the station. See the illustration. If the boundary wire is laid in any other way, the robotic lawnmower may find it hard to find the charging station. 3018-072 Splicing the boundary wire Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced.
3. INSTALLATION 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 it 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 wire ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. 2. 3012-284 Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
3. INSTALLATION 3.6 Installation of the guide wire The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary loop. The same cable roll is used for both the boundary loop and guide wire. The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to find its way back to the charging station but also to guide the robotic lawnmower to hard-to reach areas of the garden.
3. INSTALLATION Laying and connecting the guide wire 1. Run the wire through the slot in the bottom of the charger plate. 3012-997 2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for the boundary wire described in 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire. Connect it to the contact pin on the charging station that is labelled 'Guide'. 3012-995 3. Run the wire at least 2 metres straight out from the front edge of the plate.
3. INSTALLATION • - In the passage, the guide wire must therefore be placed so that the robotic lawnmower has as much space to run in as possible. The distance between the boundary loop and the guide wire must however be at least 30 cm. Maximum distance At least 30 cm At least 2 m 3012-951 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.
3. INSTALLATION 6. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using a coupler: Insert the boundary wire in each of the holes in the coupler. Insert the guide wire in the centre hole in the coupler. Check that the wires are fully inserted into the coupler so that the ends are visible through the transparent area on the other side of the coupler. Use pliers to completely compress the button on the coupler. It does not matter which holes are used to connect each wire. 7.
3. INSTALLATION 3.8 First start-up and calibration Before the robotic lawnmower is operated, a start-up sequence in the robotic lawnmower's menu must be carried out as well as an automatic calibration of the guide signal. The calibration is also a good test to see that the installation of the guide wire has been done in such a way that the robotic lawnmower can easily follow the guide wire from the charging station. 1. Set the main switch to position 1. 2.
3. INSTALLATION 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. Perform the test below. 1. Open the control panel cover by pressing the STOP button. 2. Place the robotic lawnmower close to the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire.
4. USE 4. Use 4.1 Charging a flat battery When the robotic lawnmower is new or has been stored for a long period, the battery will be flat and needs to be charged before starting. Charging takes approximately 80 to 100 minutes. 1. Set the main switch to position 1. 3012-939 2. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station. Open the cover and push the robotic lawnmower in as far as possible to ensure proper contact between the robotic lawnmower and the charging station. 3.
4. USE 4.2 Using the timer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on page 44.) to avoid a downtrodden lawn. When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about 45 m2 per hour and day (about 30 m2 for Automower® 305). Example If the working area is 360 m2 the robotic lawnmower must operate for about 8 hours per day (about 12 hours for the Automower® 305).
4. USE If the timer setting is divided into two work periods, the standby period can be divided into a number of periods. The total standby time must however be at least 6 hours (8 hours for Automower® 305). Example 2 The times used in this example are applicable to the Automower® 305 but the principle is the same for the Automower® 308.
4. USE 4.4 Stopping 1. Press the STOP button. The robotic lawnmower stops, the blade motor stops and the control panel cover opens. Restart 1. Push the Start button. 2. Shut the cover within 10 seconds. The robotic lawnmower starts automatically. 3012-929 4.5 Switching off 1. Press the STOP button. 2. Set the main switch in position 0. Always switch the robotic lawnmower off using the main switch if it requires maintenance or if the robotic lawnmower must be moved outside the working area. 4.
5. CONTROL PANEL 5. Control panel All forms of commands and settings for the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower are made via the control panel. All functions are accessed via a number of menus. 3012-929 The control panel consists of a display and a keypad. All information is shown on the display and all input is done using the buttons.
5. CONTROL PANEL 5.1 Operation selection The operation selection button is symbolised by a house. When the button has been pressed, the selected operation mode is shown in the display. By consecutively pressing the button many times, one can choose between three different operation modes. 1. HOME: Sends the robotic lawnmower to the charging station. It remains here until another operation mode is selected. The text Home is shown in the operation window.
5. CONTROL PANEL 5.2 Multi-choice buttons The three multi-choice buttons offer various functions, among others depending on where in the menu structure you are. The button function is shown at the very bottom of the display. Example: If you are in the main menu, the left button can be used to go back, the middle button confirms any selections and the right button helps you to scroll the menu. 3012-985 5.3 Numbers The number keys are used for instance to enter the PIN code or time settings.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS 6. Menu functions 6.1 Main menu The main menu consists of four options: • Timer • Installation • Security • Settings There are a number of submenus under each option. You can access all the functions to set the robotic lawnmower settings via these. 3012-987 Browse between menus Browse the main menu and submenus using the multi-choice buttons. Enter values and times using the number keys and confirm each selection with the multi-choice button marked OK.

6. MENU FUNCTIONS 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 robotic lawnmower's working capacity. When the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened. Besides, the robotic lawnmower is subjected to unnecessary wear.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS 6.4 Installation The following operating settings are available via this selection in the main menu. • • Guide width to select the distance from the guide wire the mower is allowed to travel when it follows this to and from the charging station. Remote start 1 to control the robotic lawnmower so that it can easier reach remote parts of the garden. • Remote start 2 to control the robotic lawnmower so that it can easier reach remote parts of the garden.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Wide In a wide corridor, the robotic lawnmower mows at more varied distances from the guide wire. A garden that is open and free of narrow passages should have a wide corridor to minimise the risk of tracks forming. Medium In a medium wide corridor, the robotic lawnmower travels close to and far away from the guide wire, but not as far away from the guide wire as is the case when a wide corridor is selected.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS The following five options can be selected; - Never (0%) - Rarely (approx. 20%) - Medium (approx. 50%) - Often (approx. 80%) - Always (100%) Select the percentage that corresponds to the size of the remote area relative to the total working area. If the remote area is for instance less than half of the total working area, then Rarely must be selected. If the remote area is for instance half of the total working area, Medium must be selected. Compare with the examples in 7.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Test settings In the Test settings menu, it is possible to test settings for Remote start 1 and that the selected guide width works for the garden in question. Corridor width Remote start 1 Remote start 2 Test IN Test settings Test OUT Drive past wire Test OUT The Test OUT function is used to test exit settings and to calculate the distance from the charging station to a remote area.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Test IN The Test IN function allows you to test how well the robotic lawnmower docks with the charging station. Test IN can only be performed after Test OUT has been performed. Selecting this function causes the mower to travel directly along the guide wire towards the charging station and docks with it. The test is approved only if the mower is able to dock with the charging station at the first attempt. If the mower is unable to dock on the first attempt, it will automatically try again.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Security level There are three security levels to choose from: low, medium and high Low and medium security prohibits access to the robotic lawnmower if the PIN code is unknown. High security also includes a warning that beeps if the correct PIN code is not entered after a designated time period.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS New loop signal The loop signal is randomly selected to create a unique link between the mower and the charging station. In rare cases, there may be a need to generate a new signal, for instance if two adjacent installations have a very similar signal. • Put the mower in the charging station. • Select New loop signal in the menu and press OK. Change PIN code Security level New loop signal 6.6 Settings The following operating settings are available via this selection in the main menu.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Reset user settings This function allows you to reset the robotic lawnmower to the default settings the mower had when it left the factory. Time & Date • Language Select Reset user settings in the menu and press OK. Enter the correct PIN code and press OK.
7. GARDEN EXAMPLES 7. Garden examples - Installation proposals and settings The mower's behaviour is controlled to a certain extent by what settings are made. Adapting the mower’s garden settings according to the shape of the garden makes it easier for the mower to frequently reach all parts of the garden and in doing so achieve a perfect mowing result. Different gardens require different settings. The following pages outline a number of examples of gardens with installation proposals and settings.
7. GARDEN EXAMPLES Installation proposals and settings Area 500 m2. A number of islands and a 25% slope. Timer 07:00-23:00 (factory setting) Monday-Sunday Proportion Rarely (factory setting) Guide width Medium Remarks Place the charging station in the lower part of the working area. Lay the guide wire at an angle over the steep slope. Area 200 m2. L-shaped garden with charging station installed in the narrow area. Contains a couple of islands.
7. GARDEN EXAMPLES Installation proposals and settings Area 250 m2. U-shaped garden linked with a narrow passage. Timer 07:00 - 23:00 Monday - Friday Proportion Medium Guide width Medium 1.5 m Remarks The guide wire must be placed along the narrow passage to ensure the mower can with ease locate the charging station from the left hand side of the working area. The Proportion Medium is selected as the left hand area is nearly half of the total area. Medium. Area 150 m2.
7. GARDEN EXAMPLES Installation proposals and settings Only applicable to the Automower® 308 Area 400 m2. Three areas linked with two narrow passages. Timer 06:00-22:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday Proportion Remote start 1 Rarely Proportion Remote start 2 Rarely Guide width Medium Remarks As the working area contains three areas linked by two narrow passages, Remote start 1 and Remote start 2 must be used to obtain an even mowing result across the entire working area.
8. MAINTENANCE 8. Maintenance Check and clean the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improved operating reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For more information on cleaning, see 8.4 Cleaning on page 58. When the robotic lawnmower is first 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.
8. MAINTENANCE Charging station Store the charging station and transformer 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 putting them in a container with grease for instance. 8.2 Service Leave your robotic lawnmower with a dealer for service prior to winter storage. This is essential in order to keep the robotic lawnmower in good condition.
8. MAINTENANCE Chassis and blade disc 1. Set the main switch in position 0. 2. Wear protective gloves. 3. Lift the robotic lawnmower onto its side. 3012-1023 3012-272 4. Clean the blade disc and chassis using e.g. a dish brush. At the same time, check that the blade disc rotates freely in relation to the foot guard. If long blades of grass or other objects find their way in, these may impede the blade disc.
8. MAINTENANCE 8.5 Transport and removal Secure the machine during transport. It is important that the robotic lawnmower is kept still when it is being moved, for instance, between lawns. 8.6 In the event of a thunderstorm To reduce the risk of damage to components in the robotic lawnmower, we recommend that all connections to the charging station are disconnected (power supply, boundary wire and guide wire) if there is a risk of a thunderstorm. 8.
8. MAINTENANCE To replace the blades: 1. Set the main switch in position 0. 2. Wear protective gloves. 3. Turn the robotic lawnmower upside down. 4. Rotate the skid plate so that its hole aligns with the screw for the blade. Only applicable for Automower® 308. 3012-1023 3012-272 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. 8.
8. MAINTENANCE 1. Set the main switch in position 0. 2. Turn the mower upside down. 3. Clean around the battery cover. 4. Unscrew the four screws to the battery cover (Torx 20) and remove the battery cover. 3020-044 3020-044 5. Pull out the battery by pulling on the strap. 6. Set the main switch in position 0. 7. Turn the mower upside down. 8. Fit a new Husqvarna original battery. NOTE! Press on the contact strip to fit the battery in place. 9. Fit the battery cover.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9. Troubleshooting In this chapter, a number of messages are listed which may be shown in the display if there is a malfunction. There is a proposal as to the cause and steps to take for each message. This chapter also presents some symptoms that can guide you if the mower does not work as expected. More suggestions for steps to take in the event of malfunction or symptoms can be found on www.automower.com. 9.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Message Cause Action Trapped The robotic lawnmower has got caught in something. Free the robotic lawnmower and rectify the reason for it becoming trapped. The robotic lawnmower is stuck behind a number of obstacles. Check if there are any obstacles which make it hard for the robotic lawnmower to move on from this location. The boundary wire connections to the charging station are crossed. Check that the boundary wire is connected correctly.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Message Cause Action No drive The robotic lawnmower has got caught in something. Free the mower and rectify the reason for the lack of drive. If it is due to wet grass, wait until the lawn has dried before using the mower. The working area includes a steep slope. Maximum guaranteed slope is 25%. Steeper slopes should be isolated. See 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire on page 22. The guide wire is not laid at an angle on a slope.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9.2 Indicator lamp in the charging station For a fully functional installation, the indicator lamp in the charging station must emit a solid green light. If something else appears, follow the troubleshooting guide below. There is more troubleshooting help on www.automower.com. If you still need help with troubleshooting, please contact the local dealer.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9.3 Symptoms If your Automower® does not work as expected, follow the troubleshooting guide below. There is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on www.automower.com which provides more detailed answers to a number of standard questions. It you still cannot find the reason for the fault, contact the local dealer.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptoms Cause Action The robotic lawnmower vibrates Damaged blades lead to imbalance in the cutting system. Inspect the blades and screws and replace them if necessary. See 8.7 Blades on page 60. Many blades in the same position lead to imbalance in the cutting system. Check that only one blade is fitted at each screw. The robotic lawnmower runs, but the blade disc does not rotate The robotic lawnmower searches for the charging station.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9.4 Finding breaks in the loop wire Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of unconscious physical damage to the wire such as when gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost, even sharp stones that move in the ground can damage the wire. Breaks can also be due to the high tension in the wire during installation. Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can damage wire insulation.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 3. Connect the charging station to the power supply. Switch the connections between the guide wire and the boundary wire in the charging station. a) Switch connection A1 and Guide. If the indicator lamp flashes yellow, then the break is somewhere on the boundary wire between A1 and the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black line in the illustration). Guide 3018-050 b) Put A1 and Guide back in their original positions. Then switch A2 and Guide.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 4. a) Assume that the indicator lamp flashed yellow in test a) above. Reset all connections to their original positions. Then disconnect A2. Connect a new loop wire to A2. Connect the other end of this new loop wire somewhere at the centre of the installation. If the indicator lamp is green or flashing yellow, then the break is somewhere in the wire between the disconnected end to the point where the new wire is connected (thick black line in the illustration below).
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 5. When the break is found, the damaged section must be replaced with a new wire. The damaged section can be cut out if it is possible to shorten the boundary wire. Always use original couplers.
