5.5 Replacing the charging strips

When the mower’s battery does not recharge this

may be due to worn charging strips in the mower.

The charging strips should be replaced when

blackened or if there is oxide. Also check the contact

strips in the charging station. See

5.22 Replacing the

contact strips, charging station on page 77

1. Disassemble the body. See

5.2.1

Disassembling the body on page 57

2. Unscrew the three screws (Torx 20) that

secure the charging strip holder and the

magnet holder for the front collision sensor

magnet underneath the body.

3. Disassemble both holders.
4. Disassemble the charging cables and the

charging strips. Note! Make a note of the

position of the brown and the blue cables

so that these are refitted correctly later on.

5. Always replace both charging strips at the

same time. If the connections on the charging

cable are oxidised they should also be replaced.

6. Fit the charging strips and the charging cable.
7. Fit the holders and then the body.

5.6 Replacing the battery

1. Disassemble the body. See

5.2.1

Disassembling the body on page 57

2. Disassemble the chassis. See

5.2.2

Disassembling the chassis on page 57

3. Loosen the three screws (Torx 20) holding the

battery cover in place.

4. Disconnect the battery connection from the

main circuit board.

5. Open the battery cover and remove the battery.
6. Fit a new original battery from Husqvarna

Group and connect it to the main circuit board.

7. Assemble the mower in the reverse order for

disassembly.

5.7 Replacing the main circuit board

1. A mower’s operating information is stored

in the main circuit board. The Autocheck EXP

service program saves this information in

the log book and then transfers it back to the

mower again when the main circuit board has

been replaced. The mower must therefore be

connected to Autocheck EXP before replacing
