How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Power off, disconnect the battery, and wait for the blades to stop completely. Wear eye and hand protection.

  • Inspect deck: Turn the mower over and remove any stones, branches, or hard debris from the cutting area.
  • Check blade mounting: Ensure all blade screws or bolts are tight and that the blades are correctly oriented.
