How to install your Husqvarna robotic lawn mower

Begin by taking a look at your lawn. To minimise the risk of having your machine get stuck or damaged, the grass has to be cleared of all rocks, twigs, tools, toys and similar obstacles. Also, if the grass is longer than ten centimetres you are recommended to cut it with a regular lawn mower one last time.

1. Place the charging station
Place the charging station on flat ground in the middle of the cutting area with some free space around it. Make sure the station is free from sunlight, out of reach of sprinklers and close to a power outlet.

2. Charge the battery
Once the charging station is in place, it’s time to charge your robotic mower. Put the robotic mower in the charging station and move on to the next step. Charging an empty battery takes 80-100 minutes.

3. Lay the boundary wire
The boundary wire is put along the edges of the lawn to define the cutting area. Simply attach it to the ground with the special nails enclosed in the package and the robotic mower will know exactly where to turn. Put “islands” of wire around flowerbeds and bushes to keep the mower from running into them.

4. Lay the guide wire
The purpose of the guide wire is to lead the Husqvarna Automower® back to the charging station when needed. Connect one end to the station and place the wire straight across the farthest part of your garden so that the robotic lawn mower can easily find it. The other end is attached to the boundary wire where they intersect. Both the boundary and the guide wire are then connected to the charging station.

5. Relax
Turn on your Husqvarna Automower®, select your four-digit pin code, adjust the cutting height and set the work hours. And that’s it! The robotic mower will charge until ready before it heads out – at which point you have officially mowed the lawn for the last time.

• Make sure that the main switch is turned off.
• Put on protective gloves.
• Turn the robotic lawn mower upside down.
• Rotate the skid plate so that its hole aligns with the screw for the blade.
• Unscrew the blade. Use a straight slot or cross-tip screwdriver, preferably magnetic for easier removal of the screw.
• Pry apart the skid plate and blade disc a little and remove the blade and screw.
• Clean out any dirt using a dish-washing brush and a soft damp cloth.
• Screw the new blade tight with a new screw. Always replace the screw at the same time. Be careful to only use one blade with each screw: otherwise, the cutting system may become imbalanced.
• Check that the blade spins freely.

What is the lifetime of Automower® cutting blades?
The normal lifetime of Automower® cutting blades is 3 to 6 weeks when used under favourable conditions, but the lifetime varies and depends for instance on:

Blade model. For example, Husqvarna Automower® Endurance blades provide three times the lifetime compared to classic Automower® Blades, and Husqvarna Endurance HSS Blades even longer.

• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilisers.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots, etc.

What happens if I do not change the blades on my Automower® robotic lawn mower?
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly, and more energy is needed, resulting in the robotic lawn mower not mowing the expected area size.
