charging station’s connections are marked AR, AL
and G1, G2.
2. Disconnect all connected wires and the power
supply.
3. Connect all the wires and the power supply if there
is no longer a risk of thunder. It is important that

Put the product on a soft and clean surface to
prevent scratching the product body.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.
For better operation and longer service life, make sure

to clean the product regularly and replace worn parts. All
maintenance and servicing must be done according to
Husqvarna's instructions. Refer to Warranty on page
61.
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount
of wear during this period has been low, the inspection
interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The
lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for 3. Clean the blade disc with a brush.

• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 3 to 6 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to Replace the blades on
page 38 on how to replace the blades.
Note: Working with blunt blades gives a poorer

mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more
energy is needed resulting in the product not mowing
such a large area.
5.2 Clean the product

CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Never use
solvents for cleaning. 4. Make sure that the blade disc can rotate freely.
5. Make sure that the blades are not damaged and
can pivot freely.

twigs and other objects that may impede docking.
5.3 Replace the blades

WARNING: Use blades and screws of
the right type. Husqvarna can only
guarantee safety when using original blades.
Only replacing the blades and reusing the
screw can result in a screw wearing during
mowing. The blades can then be propelled
from under the body and cause serious
injury.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety reasons.

Even if the blades are intact, they should be replaced on
a regular basis for the best mowing result and low
energy usage. All 3 blades and screws must be replaced
at the same time to obtain a balanced cutting system.
Use Husqvarna original blades embossed with the
crowned H-mark logotype, refer to Warranty terms on
page 61. 5. Remove the 3 screws. Use a manual straight slot
or cross-tip screwdriver.
5.3.1 To replace the blades

1. Switch off the product. Refer to To switch off the

5.5 Battery
WARNING: Only charge the product
using a charging station and power supply
which is intended for it. Incorrect use may
result in electric shock, overheating or
leakage of corrosive liquid from the battery.
In the event of leakage of electrolyte flush
with water and seek medical help if it comes
in contact with the eyes etc.
WARNING: Use only original batteries

recommended by the manufacturer. Product
safety cannot be guaranteed with other
batteries. Do not use non-rechargeable
batteries.
5.4.4 To install the rear top cover
1. Put the top cover on the rear body.
CAUTION: The battery must be
charged before winter storage. If the battery
is not fully charged it can be damaged and
in certain cases be rendered useless.
The charging time can vary depending on, among other

factors, the ambient temperature.
Below indicates that the battery is getting old and
eventually needs replacing:
• The operating time for the product is shorter than
normal between charges. This leads to more
charging cycles than normal, which increases the
risk of tracks forming near the charging station.
• The product is frequently found standing out on the
lawn with Empty battery message. This indicates
that the product does not have battery capacity
2. Put the top cover in position (A) and push the 2 enough to find the charging station.
magnets to assemble the top cover (B).
The battery is fine as long as the product maintains a
well-cut lawn.
A Note: Battery life is dependent on the length of the

season and how many hours a day the product is
operating. A long season or many hours of use a day
means that the battery must be replaced more regularly.
Contact your local Husqvarna representative to replace

the battery.
5.6 Winter service

Take your product to your Husqvarna central service for
B service prior to winter storage. Regular winter service
will maintain the product in good condition and create
the best conditions for a new season without any
disruptions.
Service usually includes the following:
1404 - 006 - 05.01.2021 Maintenance - 41

• Thorough cleaning of the body, the chassis, the
blade disc and all other moving parts.
• Testing of the product’s function and components.
• Checking and, if required, replacing wear items
such as blades and bearings.
• Testing the product’s battery capacity as well as a
recommendation to replace battery if necessary.
• If new firmware is available, the product is
updated.

6.7 Find breaks in the loop wire

Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of
unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when
gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost,
also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage
the wire. Breaks can also occur due to the wire being
stretched excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can
damage wire insulation. Damage to the insulation may 2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the

the height one step at a time every second week until
the desired cutting height has been reached.
A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to
disruptions several weeks after the splice was done. A
POWER
faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the AR
coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a AL
pair of pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the
original coupler has been used. Please first check all G1
known splices before further troubleshooting is done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving the
distance of the loop where the break may have occurred
until there is only a very short section of the wire left.

Guide
To rectify the fault you will need boundary wire,

connector(s) and coupler(s):
a) If the suspected boundary wire is short then it is
easiest to exchange all of the boundary wire
between AL and the point where the guide wire is
connected to the boundary wire (thick black line).
b) If the suspected boundary wire is long (thick If the indicator lamp now is green, then the break is

suspected wire section. disconnected end (roughly at the middle of the
suspected wire section) and check again if the
indicator lamp is green.

Continue until only a very short section of the wire
remains which is the difference between a solid
green light and a flashing blue light. Then follow
instruction in step 5 below.
4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3
above: Put AL and G1 back in their original
positions. Then switch AR and G1. If indicator lamp
now is lit with a solid green light then disconnect
AL and connect a new boundary wire to AL.
Connect the other end of this new wire at the
middle of the suspected wire section. Follow the
same approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.
5. When the break is found, the damaged section
must be replaced with a new wire. Always use
original couplers.
