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.
