Possible Causes

Boundary wire too close to drop-offs or obstacles, Uneven lawn surface with holes or roots, Worn wheel tread reducing traction, Front skid plate or nose wheel damaged

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Press STOP and switch OFF the mower before moving it.

  • Adjust boundary wire: Move the boundary wire further away from steep edges, flowerbeds, and obstacles so the mower does not climb onto them.
  • Level the lawn: Fill holes and smooth out high spots where the mower frequently gets stuck.
  • Replace worn wheels: If the wheel tread is smooth, install new Gardena wheels to improve grip.
  • Inspect front skid/nose: Check the front skid plate or nose wheel for damage that could catch on the ground and replace if needed.

After adjustments, monitor the mower for a few cycles and fine-tune the boundary wire where it still struggles.
