Quick answer

The Landroid senses it has been lifted and stops the blade disc for safety. Turn it off, carry it to an area free of obstacles, turn it on and press START. If the message stays, turn it off, remove the battery, wear gloves and find what lifts it.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Before turning the Landroid over or reaching underneath, turn it off and, as Worx requires before cleaning or touching the blades, remove the battery and wear protective gloves: the blades are razor sharp on both edges. Never defeat or cover the lift sensor or remove the PIN. Worx forbids cleaning it with a hose or pressure washer.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Restart in a clear area
  • Nothing under the robot
  • Ground where the warning appears

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Safety test after the repair

    What they doWhen finished, the technician checks the disc stops when the robot is lifted and that it works on the ground without the message.

    They must show youthe disc stopping when the robot is lifted.

    In writingthe test done, the result and the date.

  2. Lift sensor inspection

    What they doIf the message appears with nothing lifting the robot, Worx service checks the lift detection system and the body.

    They must show youthe sensor test with the robot on the ground and lifted.

    In writingthe cause found, any part replaced and why.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Restart in a clear area

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    turn the Landroid off, carry it to a part of the lawn with no obstacles, turn it on and press START, as Worx says. Note where it was when the message appeared.
    Result that matters:
    the robot working without repeating the message.
    If it works:
    something in that area was lifting it; check it.
    If the message returns quickly:
    check underneath the robot.
    Evidence to keep:
    photo of the place where it stopped.

  2. Nothing under the robot

    Tools required

    Who:
    you, wearing protective gloves.
    How:
    turn the Landroid off, remove the battery, turn it over carefully and look for any object that could lift it or stop the wheels; remove it without touching the blades and set it upright.
    Result that matters:
    a clean underside and wheels that turn freely.
    If something was there:
    remove it, refit the battery, turn it on and press START.
    If nothing is there and the message continues:
    check the ground in that area.
    Evidence to keep:
    photo of what you found underneath.

    Battery out and gloves on: the blade disc is exposed when the robot is turned over.

  3. Ground where the warning appears

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    walk the area where the message usually appears and look for roots, stones, edges or bumps that could lift the robot body as it passes; remove them if you can.
    Result that matters:
    an area the robot crosses without being lifted.
    If there was an obstacle:
    remove it and let the robot work.
    If the ground is fine and the message repeats:
    contact Worx service.
    Evidence to keep:
    photos of the ground you checked.

What it means

In the Worx Landroid WR140, WR143, WR150 and WR153 owner's manual, 'Mower lifted! Press START to reset' means the robot has been lifted up. Worx explains that the Landroid stops its blade disc if it is lifted off the ground, to prevent an accident. It says to turn power off, take it to an area clear of obstacles and restart; if the message remains, turn it upside down and look for anything that can cause it to be lifted. Other Landroid models may show different messages.
