Possible Causes

Boundary wire too close to metal fencing, Electrical interference from nearby power cables, Boundary signal level too low

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF the mower and unplug the dock before modifying the boundary wire.

  • Increase distance from metal: Re‑route boundary wire at least 30–50 cm away from metal fences, rebar, or buried power lines.
  • Check wire depth: Ensure the boundary wire is buried or pegged at the recommended depth; too deep can weaken the signal.
  • Inspect dock connections: Confirm that the boundary wire is correctly connected to the dock terminals and that there are no loose strands.
  • Short loop test: Use a short test loop at the dock to verify that the mower reliably detects the boundary in a controlled setup.
