Possible Causes

Overly sensitive bumper switch, Loose bumper causing vibration triggers, Ultrasonic sensor misreading tall grass, Debris inside bumper mechanism

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the mower before inspecting the bumper or sensors.

  • Clean bumper area: Remove grass and dirt from behind and under the Hyundai bumper.
  • Tighten bumper mounts: Ensure the bumper is firmly attached and does not rattle excessively.
  • Trim tall grass: Manually cut very tall grass in areas where false obstacles occur so sensors see more clearly.
  • Test bumper switches: Press the bumper and listen for a clear click from the microswitches. Replace worn switches if they chatter or stick.
