Possible Causes
Over-sensitive ultrasonic sensors, sunlight interference, loose bumper, reflective surfaces in the path.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Stop the mower and turn OFF power before cleaning sensors.
- Clean sensors and bumper: Wipe ultrasonic sensors and ensure the bumper moves freely.
- Adjust working area: Remove or cover highly reflective objects (e.g., metal plates, glass) in the mowing path.
- Change mowing time: Schedule mowing for times with less direct, low-angle sunlight if sensors are affected.
- Check sensor mounts: Tighten any loose sensor brackets inside the housing.
