How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF the mower before adjusting the bumper.

  • Check bumper alignment: Ensure the bumper is centered and not rubbing against the chassis on one side.
  • Tighten mounts: Tighten bumper mounting screws so it moves only in the intended direction.
  • Firmware/app settings: In the Mammotion app, check if there are sensitivity or obstacle detection settings that can be adjusted.
  • If nuisance shutdowns continue, the bumper sensor or IMU calibration may require service.
