Possible Causes
Cutting height set too low near edges, Boundary wire too close to hard borders, Front caster wheel seized, Deck wheels worn flat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before adjusting boundaries or inspecting wheels.
- Move boundary wire: Shift the wire slightly inward from hard edges, flower beds, and tree roots to give the mower more clearance.
- Raise cutting height: Increase height in areas with uneven ground or protruding roots.
- Check front caster: Ensure the front caster wheel spins and swivels freely. Clean out grass and dirt; replace if seized.
- Inspect deck wheels: Replace any small support wheels that are worn flat or cracked.
Improving boundary layout and wheel condition usually resolves frequent sticking on minor obstacles.
