Symptoms Cause Action

The product hasdifficulty docking.

The guide wire is not laid in a longstraight line that is far enough out fromthe charging station.

Check that the charging station hasbeen installed according to the instruc-tions in To install the charging stationon page 18

The guide wire is not inserted in theslot under the charging station.

It is absolutely critical for operation thatthe guide wire is perfectly straight andis in the correct position under thecharging station. Therefore make surethat the guide wire is always in its slotin the charging station. Refer to To in-stall the guide wire on page 19.

The charging station is on a slope. Place the charging station on a surfacethat is entirely level. Refer to To exam-ine where to put the charging station onpage 14.

The product runsat the wrong time

The product clock needs to be set. Set the clock. Refer to To set the Time& Date on page 23.

The start and stop times for mowingare incorrect.

Reset the start time and stop time set-tings for mowing. Refer to To reset thetimer setting on page 21.

The product vi-brates.

Damaged blades lead to imbalance inthe cutting system.

Inspect the blades and screws and re-place them if necessary. Refer to Re-place the blades on page 29.

Too many blades in the same positionlead to imbalance in the cutting system.

Check that only one blade is fitted ateach screw.

Different versions (thickness) of Husq-varna® blades are used.

Check if the blades are of different ver-sions.

The product runs,but the blade discdoes not rotate.

The product searches for the chargingstation, or is driving to the startingpoint.

No action. The blade disc does not ro-tate when the product is searching forthe charging station.

The product mowsfor shorter periodsthan usual be-tween charges.

Grass or other foreign object blocks theblade disc.

Remove and clean the blade disc. Re-fer to Clean the product on page 28.



Symptoms Cause Action

Both the mowingand charging timesare shorter thanusual.


The product isparked for hours inthe charging sta-tion.

The product has an inbuilt standby peri-od according to the Standby time table.Refer to Timer and Standby on page26.

No action.

The STOP button has been activated. Open the hatch, enter the PIN codeand confirm with the OK button. Pressthe Start button and then close thehatch.

Uneven mowingresults.

The product works too few hours perday.

Increase the mowing time. Refer to Tocalculate the timer setting on page 20.

The shape of the work area requiresthe use of the Remote start function forthe product to find its way to all remoteareas.

Steer the product to a remote area. Re-fer to Remote start 2 on page 22.

The Proportion setting is incorrect in re-lation to the layout of the work area.

Check that the correct Proportion valueis selected.

Work area too large. Try limiting the work area or extendingthe work time. Refer to To do the timersettings on page 20.

Dull blades. Replace all the blades. Refer to Re-place the blades on page 29.

Long grass in relation to the set cuttingheight.

Increase the cutting height and thensuccessively lower it.

Accumulation of grass by the bladedisc or around the motor shaft.

Check that the blade disc rotates freelyand easily. If not, screw off the bladedisc and remove grass and foreign ob-jects. Refer to Clean the product onpage 28.

6.6 Find breaks in the loop wireBreaks in the loop wire are usually the result ofunintentional physical damage to the wire suchas when gardening with a shovel. In countrieswith ground frost, also sharp stones that move inthe ground can damage the wire. Breaks canalso occur due to the wire being stretchedexcessively during installation.

Mowing the grass too low right after theinstallation can damage wire insulation. Damageto the insulation may not cause disruptions untilseveral weeks or months later. To avoid this,

always select the maximum cutting height thefirst weeks after installation and then lower theheight one step at a time every second week untilthe desired cutting height has been reached.

A defective splicing of the loop wire can also leadto disruptions several weeks after the splice wasdone. A faulty splice can, for example, be theresult of the original coupler not being pressedtogether hard enough with a pair of pliers, or thata coupler of lower quality than the originalcoupler has been used. Please first check allknown splices before further troubleshooting isdone.


A wire break can be located by gradually halvingthe distance of the loop where the break mayhave occurred until there is only a very shortsection of the wire left.

The following method does not work if ECOmode is activated. Make sure first that ECOmode is turned off. Refer to ECO mode on page23.

1. Check that the indicator lamp in the chargingstation flashes blue, which indicates a breakin the boundary loop. Refer to Indicator lampin the charging station on page 36.

2. Check that the boundary wire connections tothe charging station are properly connectedand not damaged. Check that the indicatorlamp in the charging station is still flashingblue.

POWER R L GUIDE

3. Switch the connections between the guidewire and the boundary wire in the chargingstation.

Start by switching connection L and GUIDE.

If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid greenlight, then the break is somewhere on theboundary wire between L and the pointwhere the guide wire is connected to theboundary wire (thick black line in theillustration).

Guide

To rectify the fault you will need boundarywire, connector(s) and coupler(s):

a) If the suspected boundary wire is shortthen it is easiest to exchange all of theboundary wire between L and the pointwhere the guide wire is connected to theboundary wire (thick black line).

b) If the suspected boundary wire is long(thick black line) then do as follows: Put Land GUIDE back to their original positions.Then disconnect R. Connect a new loopwire to R. Connect the other end of this newloop wire at the middle of the suspected wiresection.


If the indicator lamp now is green, then thebreak is somewhere in the wire between thedisconnected end to the point where thenew wire is connected (thick black linebelow). In that case, move the connectionfor the new wire closer to the disconnectedend (roughly at the middle of the suspectedwire section) and check again if the indicatorlamp is green.

Continue until only a very short section ofthe wire remains which is the difference

between a solid green light and a flashingblue light. Then follow instruction in step 5below.

4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3above: Put L and GUIDE back in theiroriginal positions. Then switch R andGUIDE. If indicator lamp now is lit with asolid green light then disconnect L andconnect a new boundary wire to L. Connectthe other end of this new wire at the middleof the suspected wire section. Follow thesame approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.

5. When the break is found, the damagedsection must be replaced with a new wire.Always use original couplers.
