Worn wheel treads, Lawn too wet or muddy, Slopes exceeding specification, Incorrect weight distribution due to accessories

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the mower before freeing it from any stuck position.

  • Check wheel condition: Inspect the drive wheels for worn or smooth treads. Replace wheels if the pattern is heavily worn.
  • Avoid wet mowing: Adjust the schedule to avoid mowing immediately after rain or irrigation.
  • Modify terrain: Level or terrace steep or uneven areas where the mower frequently gets stuck.
  • Adjust boundary: Move the boundary wire inward from problematic slopes or soft ground.
  • Weight distribution: Remove non-original accessories or loads that may alter the mower's balance.
