Possible Causes

Boundary wire too close to obstacles, Low chassis clearance due to worn wheels, Exposed roots or edging stones, Incorrect installation around flower beds

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF main power before moving the mower or adjusting the boundary wire.

  • Adjust boundary wire: Move the wire further away from obstacles, walls, and steep edges according to Kress installation guidelines.
  • Improve transitions: Add soil ramps or smooth transitions between lawn and hard surfaces to prevent high‑centering.
  • Inspect wheels: Replace excessively worn Drive Wheels that reduce ground clearance.
  • Exclude problem areas: Redesign the boundary to exclude areas with exposed roots, loose stones, or deep depressions.
