The installation involves the following components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary
wire.
• To send control signals along the guide wire
so that the product can follow the guide wire
to specific remote areas in the garden and
can find its way back to the charging station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V power outlet.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work area
and around objects and plants that the product
must not run into. The loop wire is used both as
boundary wire and guide wire.
3.3 To prepare for installation
Read the installation chapter before you start the
installation. Prepare the installation carefully to make the
product operate satisfactorily.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and include all
obstacles. This makes it easier to examine where
to put the charging station, the boundary wire and
the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put the
charging station, the boundary wire and the guide
wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the guide wire
connects to the boundary wire. Refer to
To install
the guide wire on page 16
.
• Fill in holes in the lawn to make it level.
CAUTION: Holes with water in
the lawn can cause damage to the
product.
• Cut the grass before you install the product. Make
sure that the grass is maximum 10 cm / 4 in.
Note: The first weeks after installation the sound level
when the product cuts the grass can be higher than
usual. The sound level decreases after some time.
3.4 Before the installation of the wires
You can select to attach the wires with stakes or bury
them. You can use the 2 procedures for the same work
area.
CAUTION: If you use a dethatcher
in the work area, bury the boundary wire

accessories.
3.4.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION: There must be a barrier of
minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height between
the boundary wire and water bodies, slopes,
precipices or public roads. This will prevent
damage to the product.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends
when you install the boundary wire.
CAUTION: For careful operation
without noise, isolate all obstacles such as
trees, roots and stones.
The boundary wire should be put as a loop around the
work area. Sensors in the product senses when the
product approaches the boundary wire, and the product
selects another direction. All parts of the work area must
be maximum 35 m / 115 ft. from the boundary wire.
To make the connection easier between the guide wire
and the boundary wire, it is recommended to make an
eyelet where the guide wire will be connected. Make the
eyelet with approximately 20 cm / 8 in. of the boundary
wire.

10 cm/ 4"
100 cm/ 40"
10%
• The product operates as usual in slopes that are
maximum 50% in the work area. Keep a distance
of 1.5 m / 5 ft between the boundary wire and
obstacles, or between obstacles.
• For slopes between 50-70%, make sure that there
are no obstacles in the slope. There must be a
distance of 1.5 m / 5 ft m / ft from the bottom of the
slope to the boundary wire.

edge of the slope. You can use a wall or a fence
as an obstacle.
3.4.4.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on each
side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The
passage must be a minimum of 2 m / 6.5 ft wide to get
a good cutting result. Short passages can be as narrow
as 60 cm / 2 ft., if a guide wire is installed through the
passage. A long narrow passage can have a negative
impact of the cutting result.
Note: If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
The product always runs to the left of the guide wire
as seen facing the charging station. It is recommended
that the distance between the guide wire and boundary
wire is one third of the total width of the passage on the
right side and two thirds of the total width of the passage
to the left of the guide wire (A). The minimum distance
between the guide wire and the boundary wire is 30 cm /
12 in.

4.4.1.1 Charging station signal
For some installations it is necessary to decrease the
signal of the charging station. For example when the
charging station is put near an obstacle, such as a bush
or a wall. The product finds the charging station signal
on the other side of the obstacle and tries to find the
charging station, but the object prevents it to go to the
charging station. You can set the charging station signal
to
min
,
avg
or
max
.
Note: Husqvarna recommends to set the charging
station signal to
max
. It is usually better to move the

7.6 Find 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,
also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage
the wire. Breaks can also occur due to the wire being
stretched excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can
damage wire insulation. Damage to the insulation may
not cause disruptions until several weeks or months
later. To avoid this, always select the maximum cutting
height the first 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 wire can also lead to
disruptions several weeks after the splice was done.
A faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the
coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a
pair of pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the
original coupler has been used. Please first 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. Make sure first that
ECO mode
is turned off.
Refer to
ECO mode on page 22
.
1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging
station flashes blue, which indicates a break in
the boundary loop. Refer to
LED indicator of the
charging station on page 40
.
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.

POWER
3. Switch the connections between the guide wire
and the boundary wire in the charging station.
Start by switching connection AL and G1. Some
models have additional guide wires (G2, G3). The
same procedure can be followed for them.
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).
Guide
GUIDE
AL
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).
b) If the suspected boundary wire is long (thick
black line) then do as follows: Put AL and G1
back to their original positions. Then disconnect
AR. Connect a new loop wire to AR. Connect the
other end of this new loop wire at the middle of the
suspected wire section.
AR
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
the suspected wire section) and check again if the
indicator lamp is green.
44 - Troubleshooting 1427 - 009 - 20.12.2022
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 G1 back in their original
positions. Then switch AR and G1. 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.
