Possible Causes

Cutting height set too low, Worn drive wheels with reduced tread, Front caster wheels jammed, Excessive thatch or soft ground

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and disconnect power before freeing it from obstacles.

  • Increase cutting height: Raise the cutting height to improve ground clearance and reduce scalping.
  • Inspect drive wheels: Check the tread depth and condition. Replace wheels if the rubber is worn smooth.
  • Check front casters: Ensure front support or caster wheels rotate freely and are not clogged with grass or mud.
  • Modify lawn surface: Fill deep ruts and level sharp bumps where the mower repeatedly gets stuck.
