Possible Causes

Worn wheel tread, Lawn slopes exceeding specification, Wet or muddy ground, Incorrect weight distribution due to accessories

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before lifting or moving it.

  • Inspect wheel tread: Check the drive wheels for worn or smooth tread. Replace wheels if the lugs are significantly worn down.
  • Adjust mowing schedule: Avoid mowing when the lawn is very wet or muddy.
  • Modify boundary: Move the boundary wire away from steep or soft areas where the mower frequently gets stuck.
  • Check load: Remove any non‑standard accessories or added weight that may affect balance.

For persistent traction issues on steep lawns, consult Honda for model‑specific slope kits or recommendations.
