Possible Causes

Missing blade causing imbalance, Uneven blade wear, Worn mowing motor bearing, Bent cutting disc

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the mower OFF and wear gloves.

  • Verify blade count: Ensure all blades are present and correctly installed. Replace missing blades immediately.
  • Replace blade set: If blades are worn unevenly, replace all blades as a complete set to restore balance.
  • Check disc wobble: Rotate the cutting disc and observe for wobble. A bent disc should be replaced.

If noise remains high after balancing the blades and disc, the mowing motor bearings may be worn and the motor should be replaced by a technician.
