Possible Causes

Loose lift or tilt sensor, Bumper sticking intermittently, Internal wiring harness intermittent, Excessive vibration triggering sensors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before inspection.

  • Check bumper and sensors: Ensure the front bumper moves freely and returns to position. Inspect lift/tilt sensor areas for looseness.
  • Reduce vibration: Balance the cutting disc and replace any missing blades to minimize vibration that can falsely trigger sensors.
  • Harness inspection: If comfortable, open the housing and gently check that all sensor connectors are firmly seated on the main PCB.
  • Monitor pattern: Note whether stops occur on bumps or slopes; if so, adjust lawn surface or exclude problematic areas.
