How to Place and Connect the Guiding Wire for a Husqvarna Automower
The following instructions are for the Husqvarna Automower, which is for the 220AC model. Before attempting to work on/with your equipment in any way, always refer to your owner’s manual for safety information.
- Check that the charging station has the best placement. The longer the guiding wire, the closer the mower follows the guiding wire. If the guide wire is longer then 300 meters, the mower may find it difficult to follow the wire. This varies depending on the design of the garden and installation.
- Lift up the cover on the charging station.
If you intend to install guide 1
- Insert the end of guide 1 into the lower right-hand hole on the charging station and catch it in the upper hole.
- Secure a connector on the guide wire.
- Connect guide 1 to the contact pin on the charging station marked guide 1.
If you intend to install guide 2
- Insert the end of guide 2 into the lower left-hand hole on the charging station and catch it in the upper hole.
- Secure a connector on the guide wire.
- Connect guide 2 to the contact pin on the charging station marked guide 2.
- Route the cable straight under the charging station plate.
- Route the guide wire at least 2 meters straight out from the front edge of the charging plate.
- Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can make it difficult for the mower to follow the guide wire.
- Run the guide wire to the spot on the boundary wire where you want to make the connection.
- Lift out the boundary wire.
- Cut off the boundary wire using a pair of wire cutters.
- Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire with the help of a solderless coupler.
- Insert the ends of the boundary wire in the right respective left-hand holes on the connector.
- Insert the end of the guide wire in the center hole, press down the button on the connector fully.
- Staple down/bury the connector in the lawn.
