How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep the mower on a stable surface while adjusting settings.

  • Reset time and date: Use the control panel to set the correct time, date, and mowing schedule. Save the settings and restart the mower.
  • Power cycle: Turn the main switch OFF for 1 minute, then ON again to reset the electronics.
  • Continuous power: Leave the mower in the charging station for several hours to recharge any internal backup supply.
  • PCB fault: If the time resets frequently or E17 persists, the real‑time clock circuit on the main PCB may be defective and require board replacement.
