Possible Causes
Charging base not aligned with boundary wire, Base placed on slope or uneven ground, Boundary wire guide to base incorrect, Faulty homing sensor or software issue
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before moving the charging base.
Steps to check:
- Base placement: Ensure the Worx charging base is on level ground with a straight boundary wire approach of at least the distance specified in the manual.
- Wire routing: Confirm the boundary wire passes under and behind the base exactly as shown in the installation guide.
- Clear path: Remove obstacles or narrow passages near the base that could block the mower's approach.
- Test homing: Start a manual return-to-base command and watch the mower's path. Adjust base position if it consistently misses.
When to call a technician: If the mower cannot home correctly with a proper installation, the homing logic or sensors may require professional diagnosis.
