Possible Causes

Incorrect boundary wire layout, Guide wire not centered, Obstructions causing repeated avoidance, Software settings for area coverage misconfigured

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before adjusting boundary or guide wires.

  • Review installation guide: Compare your boundary and guide wire layout with the McCulloch installation instructions for your model.
  • Adjust boundary corners: Ensure corners are rounded and not too tight, which can cause the mower to turn away prematurely.
  • Check guide wire position: The guide wire should run through the center of narrow passages and be straight in front of the station.
  • Remove obstacles: Relocate or trim around objects that repeatedly deflect the mower, such as low shrubs or garden ornaments.
  • Adjust settings: In the mower menu, increase the time spent following the guide or adjust secondary area settings if available.
