The cutting blade noise on my Amiro 400i is too loud
Quick Answer
If your Amiro 400i robotic lawnmower has become noisier during operation, the most common cause is loose grub screws securing the blade adapter or a damaged cutting blade. Tightening the grub screws and inspecting the blades can often reduce the noise.
Tip: Always switch the mower off before carrying out any inspection or maintenance underneath the machine.
Before You Start
Before inspecting the cutting mechanism:
- Switch the robotic lawnmower off
- Remove the safety key (if applicable)
- Place the mower upside down on a soft, stable surface with the blades facing upwards
- Wear protective gloves when working near the cutting blades
Important: Never carry out maintenance while the mower is switched on or connected to its charging station.
How to Reduce Blade Noise
Follow these steps to check and tighten the blade assembly.
1. Remove the blade carrier
Using a suitable screwdriver:
- Remove the three screws securing the blade carrier
- Carefully lift the blade carrier away and place it to one side
This will expose the silver blade adapter underneath.
2. Tighten the grub screws
Rotate the silver blade adapter until you can see the grub screw(s).
Depending on your mower, there may be:
- One grub screw
- Two grub screws
Using a small flat-head screwdriver:
- Tighten each grub screw securely
- Do not overtighten
Loose grub screws can allow movement within the blade assembly, resulting in increased operating noise.
3. Refit the blade carrier
Once the grub screws have been tightened:
- Reposition the blade carrier
- Reinstall the three retaining screws
- Ensure the blade carrier is securely fitted
The mower is now ready to be tested.
Inspect the Cutting Blades
While the blade carrier is removed, inspect the cutting blades for:
- Damage
- Chips
- Cracks
- Excessive wear
- Bent blades
Damaged blades are one of the most common causes of increased cutting noise and should be replaced before using the mower again.
Tip: Replace all blades together to maintain balanced cutting performance.
If the Noise Continues
If the mower is still excessively noisy after tightening the grub screws and checking the blades:
- Confirm the blade carrier is securely fitted
- Check that all retaining screws are tightened correctly
- Inspect the underside of the mower for loose components
If the problem persists, please contact our customer service team via Live Chat or submit a support ticket for further assistance.
Important Maintenance Tips
- Check the blade screws regularly during the mowing season
- Inspect the blades for wear or damage after striking hard objects
- Keep the underside of the mower clean and free from grass build-up
- Replace worn blades promptly to maintain cutting performance
- Always use suitable tools when carrying out maintenance
