Frequently Asked Questions

What causes Husqvarna Error Code 2?
Error Code 2 is caused by a lost boundary wire signal, typically from a broken boundary wire, loose connections at the charging station, power loss to the charging station, or electromagnetic interference near the wire.
How do I find a break in my Automower boundary wire?
Walk the entire perimeter looking for visible damage, then use a multimeter to test continuity. You can also use an AM radio tuned to a static channel and walk the wire - the static will disappear where the break occurs.
Can I splice a broken boundary wire myself?
Yes, you can repair breaks using waterproof wire nuts or splice connectors designed for underground use. Strip the wire ends, twist together, secure with the connector, and bury at least 1 inch deep.
Why does my mower keep getting Error 2 after I fixed it?
Recurring Error 2 usually means the repair wasn't weatherproof, there are multiple breaks in the wire, or there's electromagnetic interference. Check your repair connections and scan for other damage along the wire path.
How long does boundary wire typically last?
Quality boundary wire should last 5-10 years when properly installed. Factors like soil conditions, animal activity, landscaping work, and wire quality affect lifespan. Regular inspection helps catch issues early.
