When Automower® needs more power, it simply returns itself back to its docking/charging station and reenergises itself. Once fully charged and ready to go, it will simply return itself back to work until its scheduled cutting cycle is complete.
Scheduling
Automower® is designed to work you and your lifestyle. You decide when you want it to mow and when you do not, and if you change your mind, it is quick, simple and easy to change your programmed schedule.
Weatherproof
Automower® is designed to be used outside, unattended and around the clock, regardless of the weather conditions, even the wet. In the winter months and extreme temperatures it would be advised to keep your mower inside.
Weather timer
This ingenious function adjusts the working time of Automower® to suit the lawn’s rate of growth, thereby optimising mowing time during periods of increased grass growth. In sunnier and drier weather or late in the season, Automower® will spend less time mowing and in doing so, decrease lawn and mower wear.
Spot cutting
Special mode to quickly mow a limited area of longer grass. This feature is especially useful for areas beneath for example garden furniture, play equipment etc, once the obstruction(s) have been removed allowing free and unobstructed movement of the mower. Simply place the mower in the desired area and choose the Spot cutting mode. The mower will then mow in tight spirals and when finished resume in automatic mode.
Spiral cutting
Automatic cutting function which determines a variation in grass height and mows the area in a spiral motion until the grass is cut and reduced to a uniform length.
Frost guard
This function automatically interrupts the mowing schedule in frosty conditions for the betterment of the lawn.
Automatic passage handling
Automower® automatically senses narrows and finds its way even through the smallest passageways, varying the route where possible so as to avoid producing unpleasant track marks.
Electric Height Adjustment
The cutting height is swiftly adjusted by the electrically operated height adjustment via the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ App.
Pro user interface
Interface adapted for professional handling, meaning all settings and controls managed remotely through Husqvarna Fleet Services smartphone app or via PC/tablet. Controls on product; status LED indication and START/STOP functionality. Simplified use for inexperienced users and minimises serious impact on the product in case of vandalism.
Warning lights
Warning lights with pulsating or solid light to create awareness during operation at night. Reduces the risk of accidents in public and work space environments.
Park button on charging station
Just a push on the PARK button to call back the mower to the charging station.
Ultra-silent drive
Wheel motors with 2 step gearboxes, a new technology that enables ultra-silent drive. Gives an outstanding performance in perceived noise level and enables night time operation or 24/7 mowing in all kinds of settings.
Anti-theft alarm/PIN code lock
Each Automower® has a unique PIN code for added protection and security. Settings can only be changed and the audible alarm deactivated using its unique PIN.
GPS theft protection
Products equipped with GPS tracking immediately begin tracking the mowers GPS position and send notifications to your device via the Automower® Fleet Services App, minimising the risk of theft and letting you know where your mower is at all times.
Lift & tilt sensors
If Automower® is lifted off the ground or tips over, the cutting action of the mower automatically shuts off and stops. The rotating Automower® blades are also purposely positioned to sit within the underside and shielded part of the mower and far from the outer edge of the mower body for additional safety. If Automower® meets an obstacle whilst mowing a lawn, like a bench or ornament for example, it will simply and gently stop, redirect itself and travel in a different direction.
Remote start points x 5
This function allows mowing in five different locations along the patented guide wire installed, say the front and rear garden of a property with no connecting lawn between the two for the mower to travel on. The mower can simply be manually carried from one location to the other and put to work. It will need to be manually returned to the docking station to recharge or when it has finished cutting the supplementary area.
Quiet in operation/Environmentally friendly
Thanks to the combination of its li-ion battery power and unique cutting system, Automower® is very quiet and discreet in operation reducing noise-pollution. Your neighbours often will not even be aware that Automower® is at work; day, night, early or late. Automower® is also environmentally friendly as it produces no CO2 emissions and consumes extremely low levels of energy.
Manages slopes up to 45%/24.5°
Thanks to the compact size, lightweight, chassis design and large coarse-tread drive wheels for optimised traction and balance even on slippery surfaces, the 550 has the ability to work on slopes up to 45%/24.5o and on undulating, uneven ground too.
