Possible Causes

Worn blade motor bearings, Loose blade disc, Debris trapped in blade housing, Worn drive motor gearbox

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower, remove the battery connector, and wait for all moving parts to stop before turning it over.

  • Inspect blade disc: Check that the LawnMaster blade disc mounting bolt is tight. Tighten to the specified torque if loose.
  • Remove debris: Clear stones, branches, and compacted grass from the blade housing and around the motor shaft.
  • Spin components by hand: Rotate the blade disc and wheels by hand. Listen and feel for roughness or grinding that indicates bearing or gearbox wear.
  • Check blade screws: Ensure all blade screws are tight and blades are not flapping excessively.

If grinding persists from the blade motor or a drive wheel gearbox, the affected assembly should be replaced to prevent further damage.
