Husqvarna 260 ACX manual Boundaries within the working area

3. INSTALLATION

When Automower® searches for the charging station or follows the loop according to the function Follow loop (3-2)(see page 46), it runs along the side of the boundary wire at a specific distance. The Corridor width (3-2-3)function determines the distance from the boundary wire that the mower shall run. It is recommended to state as high a Corridor width value as possible. A high Corridor width value reduces the risk of tracks forming. For more information about Corridor width (3-2-3), see page 48.

In exceptional cases Automower® can be set to straddle the boundary wire, that is to say, half the mower inside the loop and the other half outside. The boundary wire must then be kept at a distance of about 50 cm from all the boundaries of the working area and from the edges of a passage.

Boundaries within the working area

Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and fountains. Run the cable out to the area, route it around the area to be demarcated and then back along the same route. If staples are used, the wire should be laid under the same staple on the return route. When the boundary wire to and from the island are close together, the mower can drive over the wire.

Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example, trees or bushes higher than 15 cm, do not need to be demarcated by the boundary wire. Automower® will turn when it collides with this type of obstacle.

However, for the most gentle and silent operation, it is preferable to demarcate all fixed objects in and around the working area.

Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or large trees with raised roots, should be demarcated or removed. Automower® can otherwise slide up onto this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged.
