PRESENTATION

Mowing technique

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 mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result. Husqvarna’s robotic lawnmowers can also mow in the rain, however, wet grass easily sticks on the robotic lawnmower and there is a greater risk of slipping on steep slopes.

The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn free from branches, small stones and other objects which candamage the blades.

Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing result. It is very easy to replace the blades. See 8.7 Blades on page 74.

Working method

The robotic lawnmower automatically mows the lawn. It continuously alternates between mowing and charging.

The robotic lawnmower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low. The robotic lawnmower does not mow when it is searching for the charging station.

When the robotic lawnmower is searching for the charging station, it can find it in a number of different ways. See Finding the charging station on page 13.

When the battery is fully charged, the robotic lawnmower will leave the charging station and start mowing in a place in the garden where it has not been lately. The place is decided by the built-in GPS-receiver. This function is for Automower® 330X only. For Automower® 320 you might have to set manual exit settings to make sure that the lawn will be cut evenly, see “Installation” on page 49.

When the robotic lawnmower body hits an obstacle, the robotic lawnmower reverses and selects a new direction.

Sensors at the front and back will sense when the robotic lawnmower is approaching the boundary wire. The robotic lawnmower travels up to 32 centimetres beyond the wire before it turns around.
