Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 220 AC Owners Manual - Page 22

3. INSTALLATION 3.3 Charging the battery Automower is supplied with an uncharged battery. As soon as the charging station is connected, it is possible to charge the mower. 1. Set the main switch to the OFF position. 2. Place Automower in the charging station to charge the battery while you are laying the boundary wire. From an uncharged state the battery takes about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours until it is fully charged. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Automower cannot be used before the installation is complete. 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: • Securing the wire to the ground with staples. It is preferable to staple down the boundary cable, if you want to make adjustments to the boundary wire during the first few weeks of operation. • Bury the wire. It is preferable to bury the boundary wire if you want to dethatch or aerate the lawn. If necessary both methods can be combined so one part of the boundary wire is stapled down and the remainder is buried. Best position for the boundary wire The boundary wire should be laid so it: • Forms a loop around the working area for Automower. Only an original boundary wire must be used. This is tinned and has a high quality insulation to withstand the dampness in the ground. • Maintains a maximum distance of 100 ft from Automower in the entire working area. • Ideally not longer than 1600 ft. • The boundary wire is laid at different distances from obstacles depending on what the working area borders. The picture below shows how the boundary wire should be routed around the working area and around obstacles. 3012-385 English - 23
