How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn OFF the main switch, remove the docking station power, and wait until all parts stop moving. Wear gloves.
- Inspect the cutting disc: Turn the mower over and check for branches, stones, or toys wedged around the disc.
- Remove debris: Carefully clear all obstructions. Do not pry against the motor shaft.
- Clean the mowing deck: Scrape off packed grass from the underside using a plastic scraper. Avoid damaging sensors or paint.
- Check blades: Ensure the small pivoting blades on Bosch Indego models swing freely and are not bent into the deck. Replace dull or damaged blades in sets.
- Test rotation: With power OFF, rotate the disc by hand. It should turn smoothly without scraping.
- If E005 returns: The cutting motor or its motor driver circuit on the main PCB may be failing and should be tested or replaced by a technician.
