English - 12 PRESENTATION Mowingtechnique The cutting system in the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower is based on an efficient and energy saving principle. Unlike many standard lawnmowers, the robotic lawnmower cuts the grass instead of knocking it off. We recommend you allow the robotic lawnmower to mai...

English - 13 PRESENTATION The STOP button on the top of the robotic lawnmower is mainly used to stop the robotic lawnmower when it’s running. When the STOP button is pressed a hatch opens, behind which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains pressed in until the hatch is closed again. This...

English - 21 INSTALLATION 3.4Installationoftheboundarywire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: • Secure the wire to the ground with pegs. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during the first few week...

English - 22 INSTALLATION Workingareaboundaries If a high obstacle, 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 of the law...

English - 23 INSTALLATION Boundarieswithintheworkingarea Use the boundary wire to isolate 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 isolated, an...

English - 24 INSTALLATION Passageswhenmowing Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 1.5 to 2 metres should be avoided. When the robotic lawnmower mows, there is a risk that it travels around in the passage or area for a long period of time. The lawn will then look flattened. Slopes The ...

English - 25 INSTALLATION Layingtheboundarywire If you intend to peg 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 w...
