Possible Causes
Blocked cooling vents, Operating in direct sun at high ambient temperature, Failed temperature sensor on main PCB, Overloaded motors causing heat buildup
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and allow it to cool in a shaded, dry area.
- Inspect vents: Check all cooling slots and vents on the mower body. Remove grass clippings and dust with a soft brush or low‑pressure air.
- Avoid peak heat: Adjust the mowing schedule to early morning or evening when temperatures are lower.
- Check for overload: Ensure grass is not excessively tall or wet, which can overload the blade and drive motors. Raise the cutting height if needed.
- Internal inspection (advanced): If overheating occurs quickly even in cool conditions, the internal temperature sensor or main PCB may be faulty and should be checked by a technician.
