6.5 Symptoms
If your robotic lawnmower does not work as expected, follow the symptoms guide below.
There is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on www.gardena.com which provides more detailed answers to a
number of standard questions. Contact your local GARDENA representative if you still cannot find the reason for the
fault.
Symptoms Cause Action
The robotic lawnmow-
er has difficulty dock-
ing.
The boundary wire is not laid in a long
straight line that is far enough out from the
charging station.
Check that the charging station has been in-
stalled according to the instructions in Laying
the boundary wire in towards the charging
station on page 17
The guide wire is not inserted in the slot un-
der the charging station.
It is absolutely critical for operation that the
guide wire is perfectly straight and is in the
correct position under the charging station.
Therefore make sure that the guide wire is al-
ways in its slot in the charging station. See
Laying and connecting the guide wire on
page 19.
The charging station is on a slope. Place the charging station on a surface that is
entirely level. See
Best charging station loca-
tion on page 11.
The robotic lawnmow-
er runs at the wrong
time
The robotic lawnmower clock needs to be set. Set the clock. See
Time & Date on page 29.
The start and stop times for mowing are in-
correct.
Reset the start time and stop time settings for
mowing. See Timer on page 22.
The robotic lawnmow-
er vibrates.
Damaged blades lead to imbalance in the
cutting system.
Inspect the blades and screws and replace
them if necessary. See
To replace the blades
on page 41.
Too many blades in the same position lead to
imbalance in the cutting system.
Check that only one blade is fitted at each
screw.
Different versions (thickness) of GARDENA
blades are used.
Check if the blades are of different versions.
