Possible Causes

Guide wire buried too deep or too shallow, Strong electromagnetic interference nearby, Damaged section of guide wire, Incorrect guide wire routing near obstacles

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch OFF the mower before adjusting the guide wire.

  • Check depth: Ensure the guide wire is installed at the recommended depth (usually on the surface or shallowly buried) per Gardena instructions.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for cuts or splices along the guide wire and repair with Gardena connectors.
  • Avoid interference: Re-route the guide wire away from metal fences, buried power cables, or large metal objects.
  • Straighten path: Make the last few meters before the station as straight as possible to help the mower track accurately.

After adjustments, command the mower to return to the station and observe its tracking behavior.
