Poor Coverage / Navigation Inefficiency
Robot mower leaves uncut strips of grass and misses areas, mowing pattern seems random and ineffective

Possible Causes
Incorrect boundary wire layout, Guide wire not installed or misrouted, Obstacles blocking access to zones, Slipping drive wheels
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn OFF the mower before adjusting boundary or guide wires.
- Review layout: Compare your boundary and guide wire installation to the Makita layout examples in the manual. Ensure narrow passages meet minimum width.
- Adjust guide wire: Add or reposition a guide wire to lead the mower into remote zones.
- Remove obstacles: Relocate garden furniture, toys, or hoses that block the mower’s path.
- Check wheels: Inspect drive wheels for excessive wear or mud buildup that could cause slipping. Clean or replace as needed.
- Increase mowing time: Extend the daily mowing schedule so the mower has enough time to cover the entire area.
Persistent coverage issues despite correct layout may indicate sensor or navigation module problems that require professional diagnosis.
