Where to best place the charging station in an Automower® installation
The ideal placement for the charging station is in a shady spot on flat ground in the middle of the lawn and with some free space around it.

Please see below for some general recommendations. For details specific to your model, please see the operator’s manual.
- Keep a minimum 3 m/10 ft of free space in front of the charging station.
- Keep a minimum of 150 cm/60 inches of free space to the right and left of the centre of the charging station.
- Keep a minimum of 60 cm/2 ft of free space behind the charging station.
- Place the charging station near a power outlet.
- Place the charging station on a level surface.
- The baseplate of the charging station must not be bent.
- Place the charging station in an area that is protected from sunlight.
- If the charging station is installed on an island, ensure that the guide wire is connected to the island.
- If the work area has two parts separated with a steep slope, we recommend putting the charging station in the lower section.
- Do not permanently secure the charging station until you have installed all the wires and verified that your installation works.
- For Automower® models that communicate with the Husqvarna Cloud only using Wi-Fi, the charging station must be located in an area with Wi-Fi coverage. If the charging station is placed in an area with a weak or no Wi-Fi signal, the robotic lawn mower will not be able to download any updates. If so, you need to contact a dealer to update the mower.
