Possible Causes

Weak RTC backup battery on main board, Firmware bug, Power interruptions, Faulty main control board RTC circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and disconnect the battery before opening the housing.

  • Check main battery: Ensure the main LawnMaster battery pack is healthy and maintains charge; deep discharges can affect RTC.
  • Inspect RTC battery (if present): Some boards have a small coin cell. Replace it with the same type if voltage is low.
  • Update firmware: Install the latest LawnMaster firmware to correct any known RTC issues.
  • Reprogram schedule: After any changes, set the correct time and schedule again.

If the clock continues to reset, the RTC circuit on the main control board may be defective and the board will need replacement.
