How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF main power immediately and remove the mower from the charging station. Do not operate while wet inside.
- Dry the mower: Remove the top cover and allow the mower to dry in a warm, dry place for at least 24–48 hours. Do not use direct heat guns on electronics.
- Inspect seals: Check the rubber gasket around the top cover, display, and any service hatches. Replace damaged Housing Seal Kit.
- Look for cracks: Examine the upper and lower housings for cracks or impact damage that could allow water entry. Replace cracked Upper Housing or Lower Chassis.
- Avoid pressure washers: Clean the mower only with a damp cloth and low‑pressure water as recommended by Kress.
- Check electronics: If corrosion is visible on the main board or connectors, the affected components should be replaced.
