Troubleshooting
Mower not starting
Ensure an adequately charged 18V Bosch battery is correctly inserted. Check that the safety buttons are pressed in the correct sequence.
Mower stopping unexpectedly or changing direction erratically
Check for obstacles that might be triggering sensors. Ensure the lawn area is clear. Clean the ultrasonic and bump sensors with a soft cloth.
Uneven cutting or missed patches
Verify the cutting height is set appropriately. Use the SpotMow function for any missed areas. Check blades for sharpness and wear; replace if necessary.
Mower not recognizing grass or lawn edges
Ensure the camera lens (SmartVision system) is clean and free from dirt or debris. Operate in adequate daylight conditions as the camera relies on visual input.
