STIGA A 4: Cannot find / reach charging station

What this fault means

The robot cannot complete its autonomous return to its known charging position.

Safety: Stop the mower and follow the manufacturer safety instructions before physical inspection.

Step-by-step checks

1. Check that the station is powered and unobstructed.
2. Verify current GPS/RTK position is valid before changing the map.
3. Inspect the approach path for new physical obstacles.
4. Clean charging contacts so a successful docking event is recognised.
5. If the robot reaches the station but fails to dock, treat alignment/contacts separately from navigation.
