Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Husqvarna Automower keep flipping over?
Common causes include steep slopes exceeding the mower's grade limit, uneven terrain with holes or bumps, wet slippery conditions, or obstacles in the lawn. Check your lawn for these issues and consider adjusting the boundary wire to avoid problem areas.
Can I prevent Error 10 from happening again?
Yes, ensure your lawn is relatively level within your mower's grade specifications, fill in holes or depressions, remove obstacles like rocks or toys, and avoid mowing during very wet conditions when the mower could slip.
Is it safe to flip my Automower myself?
Yes, it's safe as long as you first turn off the mower using the STOP button. The tilt sensor automatically stops the blades when upside down, but always power off before handling for extra safety.
What should I do if Error 10 won't clear after flipping the mower?
If the error persists, try turning the mower completely off and on again. Check that it's on truly level ground. If the error still appears, the tilt sensor may be damaged and require professional service.
How steep can my lawn be for a Husqvarna Automower?
Most Husqvarna Automowers can handle slopes up to 25-35% (14-19 degrees), depending on the model. Check your specific model's specifications and consider installing guide wires on steeper areas to prevent flipping.
