Husqvarna AUTOMOWER SOLAR HYBRID Operation Manual - Page 12

2. PRESENTATION Working method Automower® automatically mows the lawn. It continuously combines mowing and charging. The charging station sends out a signal that Automower® can sense at a distance of 6 - 7 metres. The mower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low. Automower® does not mow when it is searching for the charging station. When Automower® searches for the charging station it uses one or more of three different search methods: Irregular, Follow boundary wire and Follow guide wire. For more information about the search methods, see 2.3 Search method on page 15 and Follow loop in (3-2-2) on page 50. When the battery is charged the mower reverses, turns around and leaves the charging station in a randomly selected direction within the exit sector 90° - 270°. To make it easier for Automower® to reach all parts of the garden you can manually set how the mower will leave the charging station, see 6.5 Installation (3) on page 48. When Automower® body hits an obstacle, the mower reverses and selects a new direction. Two sensors, at the front and back on Automower®, sense when the mower approaches the boundary wire. Automower® overruns the wire by up to 27 centimetres before it turns. The overrun length can be set, see Drive past wire (3-4-2) on page 54. The STOP button on the top back edge is mainly used to stop the mower when it' s running. When the STOPbutton is pressed down it is possible to open the solar cell panel, under which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains depressed until the cover is reset again. This acts as start inhibitor. English - 13
