Robot mower emits a burning smell or the housing feels unusually hot.

Safety first: Immediately turn off the mower and disconnect it from the charging station. Do not continue to operate until inspected.

• Allow cooling: Let the mower cool down completely in a shaded, ventilated area.
• Inspect for blockage: Check ventilation slots and underbody for grass buildup. Clean thoroughly.
• Check motors: Smell near the blade motor and wheel motors to localize the source. Look for discoloration or melted plastic.
• Reduce load: Raise cutting height and avoid mowing in the hottest part of the day.
• Service inspection: If the smell persists or components appear damaged, have an AL-KO technician inspect the motors and main PCB. Replace any overheated parts.
