Husqvarna Automower 450XH Robotic Lawn Mower WHEEL MOTOR OVERLOAD Error Fix: Wheel Motor Overloaded

One or both wheel motors are drawing excessive current — the mower is encountering too much resistance from mud, thick grass, steep terrain, or debris wrapped around a wheel; retrieve the mower and clear any debris (grass, string, wire) wrapped around the wheel shafts; clean the wheels; if the error occurs without visible obstruction, the wheel motor may be wearing out; persistent overload on slopes may indicate the slope exceeds the mower capability or the wheel treads are worn and losing traction
