How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF main power before lifting the mower or adjusting the station.
- Verify station power: Ensure the charging station LED is on and the power supply is connected.
- Check wire layout: Confirm that the boundary and guide wires (if used) are installed according to Kress instructions, especially around the station entrance.
- Clean sensors: Wipe any front‑facing IR or optical sensors used for docking.
