A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Husqvarna 320, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Husqvarna 320 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Husqvarna 320. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Husqvarna 320 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Husqvarna 320
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Husqvarna 320 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Husqvarna 320 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Husqvarna 320 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Husqvarna 320, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Husqvarna service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Husqvarna 320.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Husqvarna 320 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    English - 21 INST ALLA TION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: • Secure the wire to the ground with pegs. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during the rst few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass w[...]

  • Page 24

    English - 22 INST ALLA TION Working area boundaries If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear . About 20 cm of the lawn around the xed obstacle will not be mown. [...]

  • Page 25

    English - 23 INST ALLA TION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to isolate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example owerbeds, bushes and fountains. Lay the wire up to and around the area to be isolated, and then return it back along the same route. If [...]

  • Page 26

    English - 24 INST ALLA TION Passages when mowing Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 1.5 to 2 metres should be avoided. When the robotic lawnmower mows, there is a risk that it travels around in the passage or area for a long period of time. The lawn will then look attened. Slopes The robotic lawnmower can also operate on sloping wo[...]

  • Page 27

    English - 25 INST ALLA TION Laying the boundary wire If you intend to peg down the boundary wire: • Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid. It will then be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and the risk of the robotic lawnmower cutting the wire or damaging the insulation of the wire is [...]

  • Page 28

    English - 26 INST ALLA TION Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station On its way toward the charging station, the boundary wire can be laid completely outside the charging station (see option 1 in the gure). If there is a need to partly locate the charging station outside the working area, it is also possible to lay the wire under[...]

    English - 28 INST ALLA TION 3.6 Installation of the guide wire The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary loop. The same cable roll is used for both the boundary loop and guide wire. The guide wire is used[...]

  • Page 31

    English - 29 INST ALLA TION Laying and connecting the guide wire 1. Before laying and connecting the guide wire, it is important to give consideration to the length of the guide loop, especially in large or complex installations. If the guide loop is longer than 400 metres the robotic lawnmower can have difculty following the guide wire. The gui[...]

  • Page 32

    English - 30 INST ALLA TION If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on the slope. Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can make it difcult for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire. [...]
