3.4.3.1 To put the boundary wire in a slope


The product can operate in 40% slopes. Slopes that are
too steep must be isolated with the boundary wire. The

3.4.3.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on each
side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The
distance between the boundary wire on each side in the
passage must be a minimum of 60 cm / 24 in.

Note: If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,


install a guide wire through the passage.

The recommended minimum distance between the


guide wire and the boundary wire is 30 cm / 12 in. The
product always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen
facing the charging station. It is recommended to have
as much free area as possible to the left of the guide
wire (A). To make an island, isolate areas in the work area with
the boundary wire. We recommend to isolate all stable
objects in the work area.

2. Carefully pull the top cover at the rear, the front
and the middle.
For better operation and longer service life, make sure
to clean the product regularly and replace worn parts.
All maintenance and servicing must be done according
to Husqvarna's instructions. Refer to Warranty on page
51.
When the product 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. The
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The
lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for
instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls, 3. Lift up the top cover to remove it.

The normal life is 3 to 6 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to Replacement of the
blades on page 35 on how to replace the blades.

Note: Working with blunt blades gives a poorer


mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more
energy is needed resulting in the product not mowing
such a large area.

6.2 Clean the product


CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Never use
solvents for cleaning.

The product does not operate satisfactorily in slopes if

• Checking and, if required, replacing wear items
such as blades and bearings.
• Testing the product’s battery capacity as well as a
recommendation to replace battery if necessary.
• If new firmware is available, the product is
updated.

3. Make sure that the indicator lamp on the keypad is

6.4 Battery
CAUTION: Charge the battery fully
before you put the product into storage. If
the battery is not fully charged it can cause
damage to the battery.

If the operating time of the product is shorter than usual


between charges, this means that the battery is at the
end of its life cycle. Replace the battery to extend the
operating time.

Note: The battery life is related to the length of


the season and how many hours a day the product
operates. A long season or many hours of operation
a day means that the battery must be replaced more
regularly.

6.5 Winter service


Take your product to your Husqvarna central service for
service prior to winter storage. Regular winter service
will maintain the product in good condition 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 product’s function and components.

other end of this new loop wire at the middle of the
suspected wire section.

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 flashing blue.

3. Switch the connections between the guide wire


and the boundary wire in the charging station.
Start by switching connection AL and GUIDE.
If the indicator lamp has 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).

AL

GUIDE

If the indicator lamp now is green, then the


break is somewhere in the wire between the
disconnected end to the point where the new wire
is connected (thick black line below). In that case,
move the connection for the new wire closer to
the disconnected end (roughly at the middle of
Guide the suspected wire section) and check again if the
indicator lamp is green.

To rectify the fault you will need boundary wire,


connector(s) and coupler(s):
a) If the suspected boundary wire is short then it
is easiest to exchange all of the boundary wire
between AL and the point where the guide wire is
connected to the boundary wire (thick black line).

Continue until only a very short section of the wire
remains which is the difference between a solid
green light and a flashing blue light. Then follow
instruction in step 5 below.
4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3
above: Put AL and GUIDE back in their original
positions. Then switch AR and GUIDE. If indicator
lamp now is lit with a solid green light then
disconnect AL and connect a new boundary wire
to AL. Connect the other end of this new wire at
the middle of the suspected wire section. Follow
the same approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.
5. When the break is found, the damaged section
must be replaced with a new wire. Always use
original couplers.
