Possible Causes
Grass and debris wrapped around caster axle, Rusted caster bearing, Bent caster fork, Lack of lubrication
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF and disconnect power before lifting the mower.
- Clean caster: Remove the front caster wheel assembly and clear all wrapped grass, string, or debris from the axle.
- Check bearing: Spin the wheel by hand. If rough or stiff, replace the bearing or the entire caster assembly.
- Inspect fork: Ensure the caster fork is not bent and that it can rotate 360° freely.
- Lubricate: Apply a light, outdoor‑safe lubricant to the swivel joint if recommended by Segway.
