How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Press STOP, turn main switch OFF, and wear gloves.
- Inspect left wheel: Tilt and support the mower. Remove grass, string, or branches trapped around the left wheel and axle.

- Test run: After cleaning, restart the mower on level ground and monitor operation.
- Replace motor assembly: If the problem persists, replace the left wheel motor unit according to Husqvarna service instructions.
