Possible Causes

Operating on a slope beyond TerraMow's rating, Worn drive wheel tread, Slippery or wet grass, Incorrect boundary placement on a hill

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Avoid standing downhill of the mower on slopes.

  • Check slope angle: Verify that the area where E17 occurs does not exceed the maximum slope specified in the TerraMow manual.
  • Adjust boundary: Move the boundary wire further away from steep edges or inclines to keep the mower on safer terrain.
  • Inspect wheel tread: Examine the TerraMow drive wheels for worn or smooth tread. Replace the wheels if traction is poor.
  • Avoid wet mowing: Schedule mowing when the grass is dry to improve grip and reduce load.
  • If E17 appears on mild slopes: Check for drive motor weakness or gearbox damage, and replace the affected drive motor assembly if necessary.
