1.4 Safety instructions
Use
•
Please read the Operator's Manual carefully and
make sure you understand the instructions
before using Automower®.
•
•
It is not permitted to modify the original design of
Automower®. All modifications are made at your
own risk.
Check that there are no stones, branches, tools,
toys or other objects on the lawn that can
damage the blades and cause the mower to
stop.
•
Start Automower® according to the instructions.
When the main switch is in the ON position;
make sure you keep your hands and feet away
from the rotating blades. Never put your hands
and feet under the mower.
•
•
•
•
•
Never lift up Automower® or carry it around when
the main switch is in the ON position.
Do not let persons who do not know how

Never use Automower® if persons, especially
children, or pets, are in the immediate vicinity.
Do not put anything on top of Automower® or its

2. PRESENTATION
2. Presentation
This chapter contains information you should be aware
of when planning the installation.
An installation of Husqvarna Automower® includes four
main components:
Automower®, an automatic lawn mower that mows
the lawn by moving in essentially an irregular pattern.
The mower is powered by a maintenance-free
battery.
Charging station, where your Automower® returns
when the charge level in the battery becomes too low.
The charging station has three functions:
•
•
To send control signals along the boundary wire.
To send out signals so Automower® finds the
charging station.
•
To charge Automower® battery.
Transformer, which is connected between the
charging station and a 230V wall socket. The
transformer is connected to the wall socket via an
integrated power cord and to the charging station via
a 20 m long low voltage cable. The low voltage cable
must not be extended. The low voltage cable must
not be shortened nor extended.
Wire, laid in a loop around Automower®’s working
area. The boundary wire is laid around the edges of
the lawn and around objects and plants that the
mower must not run into. The wire is also used for
any guide wires. Contact your dealer to purchase a
cable with the right length.

2. PRESENTATION
2.2 Function of Automower®
Capacity
Automower® 260 ACX is recommended for lawns up to
5500 m2 +/-20%.
How large an area is mown depends primarily on the
condition of the blades and the type of grass, growth
rate and humidity. The shape of the garden is also
significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns,
Automower® can mow more per hour than if the garden
consists of several small lawns separated by trees,
flower beds and passages.
How long Automower® mows and recharges can vary
depending on, among others, the ambient
temperature. Up to around 25 ˚C, a fully charged
Automower® 260 ACX will mow for approx. 60 minutes,
depending on the age of the battery and how thick the
grass is. Then the mower will charge for approx. 40
minutes
Above 25 °C both the mowing and charging times
gradually drop.
Mowing technique
The mowing system used by Automower® is based on
an effective and energy efficient principle. Unlike
normal lawn mowers, Automower® cuts the grass
instead of striking it off.
We recommend you allow Automower® to mainly mow
in dry weather to obtain the best possible result.
Automower® can even mow in the rain, however, wet
grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of
slipping on steep slopes is greater.
When there is a risk of a thunder storm, the 230 V plug
should be removed from the mains socket and the
boundary wire disconnected from the charging station.
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.
