Possible Causes

Mower high‑centered on obstacle, Wheels spinning in holes or soft ground, Excessive grass buildup around wheels, Internal gearbox jam

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF main power before freeing a stuck mower.

  • Free the mower: Lift the mower off the obstacle, hole, or soft patch and place it on firm, level ground.
  • Inspect underbody: Check for branches, rocks, or roots caught under the chassis or between wheels and body. Remove all obstructions.
  • Clean wheel treads: Remove packed mud or grass from the drive wheel treads to restore traction.
  • Check for gearbox damage: Rotate each wheel by hand. If one wheel is locked or very rough, the corresponding Drive Motor Gearbox may be damaged and require replacement.
  • Adjust boundary and work area: Modify the boundary wire to exclude areas where the mower frequently gets stuck (deep holes, exposed roots, steep transitions).
