2. PRESENTATION
Working method
Automower automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The charging station sends out a signal that Auto-
mower can sense at a distance of 20 - 23 ft. 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 53.
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 Garden (3) on
page 49.
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 centimeters (11") before it turns. The overrun
length can be set, see Drive past wire (3-4-2) on
page 57.
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.
