Possible Causes

Boundary wire too close to metal objects, Interference from buried cables, Incorrect boundary loop layout, Weak loop signal from station

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before modifying the boundary.

  • Check for interference sources: Identify any buried power cables, metal fences, or pipes running near the boundary wire and reroute the wire away from them.
  • Verify loop layout: Ensure the boundary loop is continuous and installed according to McCulloch guidelines, with correct distances from obstacles.
  • Inspect station output: Confirm the station LED indicates a strong, stable loop signal.
  • Increase distance from metal: Move the boundary wire further from metal objects or walls that may distort the signal.
