How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and unplug the station before adjustments.

  • Clean contacts: Wipe the contacts on mower and station with a dry cloth to ensure reliable electrical detection.
  • Secure station: Make sure the station is firmly fixed to the ground and does not move when the mower docks.
  • Check alignment: Verify that the mower approaches the station straight along the boundary or guide wire. Adjust wire routing if necessary.
  • Test docking: Manually roll the mower into the station and confirm that it stops correctly when contacts meet.
