Quick answer
If your robot mower stays at or returns to the docking station after pressing the start button, this is usually because the programmed mowing time has already been completed or the battery does not have enough charge to begin mowing.
Check the mower schedule and allow the battery to fully charge before trying again.
Before you begin
Before checking the mower, make sure:
- The robot mower is switched on
- The charging station has power
- The mower is correctly positioned on the docking station
- The mowing schedule has been checked in the mower settings or app
Steps
1. Check the programmed working time
Your robot mower may remain at the docking station if it has already completed its scheduled mowing time for the day.
Check the mower settings or app to confirm:
- The scheduled mowing time
- The active mowing days
- Whether the mower has already completed its daily working period
If the working time has been completed, the mower will remain at the docking station until the next scheduled mowing period.
2. Check the battery charge level
If the battery level is too low, the robot mower may return to or remain at the docking station instead of starting work.
To resolve this:
- Allow the mower to remain on the docking station.
- Wait until the battery has charged sufficiently.
- Press the start button again.
