In this menu the previous fault and information

messages can be found. For some of the messages,

there are tips and advice to help to rectify the fault.

Note:

The

If the robotic lawnmower is disrupted in any way, for

example it is trapped or the battery is low, a message is

saved relating to the disruption and the time it

happened.

If the same message is repeated several times, this may

indicate that an adjustment to the installation or the

robotic lawnmower is required. See

3.26 My mowers

When choosing

My mowers

you can manage all the

robotic lawnmowers paired to your account, as well as

add new ones. If there are several paired robotic

lawnmowers it is possible to select one of them as

Current mower

To pair a new robotic lawnmower to the Automower

Connect app:

Select the plus sign (+).

Select model.

Follow the instructions in the Automower

Connect

app to finalize the pairing.

3.27 Yard layout examples

Different layouts require different settings. Adapting the robotic lawnmower's settings according to the shape of the

lawn makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to frequently reach all parts and therefore achieve a perfect mowing

result. The following pages outline a number of layout examples with installation proposals and settings.

The recommended timer settings in the following examples are applicable to Automower

520 unless otherwise

stated. There is more installation help on www.husqvarna.com.

Note:

The default settings for the robotic lawnmower have been chosen to work in as many different gardens as

possible. The settings only need to be adjusted when special installation conditions exist.

Remarks

The timer should be used to prevent

the grass looking trampled since the

maximum capacity of the robotic

lawnmower.

As the area is open and uncomplica-

ted there is no need for a guide wire

in this installation.
