Robot mower does not return to the charging station and stops in the yard with a low battery.

Safety first: Stop the mower and carry it back to the base if battery is low.

• Check base placement: Ensure the base is installed on a flat area with a clear straight path in front, as specified in the Cub Cadet manual.
• Verify guide wire (if equipped): Confirm the guide wire is connected correctly to the base and laid according to instructions.
• Remove obstacles: Clear any objects, tall grass, or branches along the typical return path.
• Test manual return: Start a return‑to‑home command from different parts of the lawn and observe where it fails to adjust layout accordingly.
